Sažetak

New hazards and risks that arise as a consequence of the development of technologies and business processes require new standardized methods for managing the occupational safety and health system, one of them performance indicators. Defining the performance indicators is an effective way of monitoring the functioning of the occupational safety system and assessing its quality. Modern understanding of occupational safety implies active engagement of all stakeholders, with a particularly prominent participation of workers in the creation and improvement of the occupational safety system. Using the survey questionnaire as a research instrument, the state of occupational safety in the mining production system was scanned. The research is based on the application of a simple model of perception analysis and worker‘s attitudes in regard to the way the occupational safety and health system functions and performance indicators. The aim of the research is through the active involvement of workers find out which elements of the occupational health and safety system do not meet their demands. The research should determine whether and to what extent there is a correlation between the established occupational health and safety system in the observed production system and the results of its functioning in the form of performance and injuries at work indicators. The results of the analysis can be the basis for defining improvement measures in the occupational safety system, learning about organizational and functional advantages and disadvantages in the occupational safety process, and then acting in order to eliminate defects. The correlation established by the analysis indicates that the improvement of certain elements of the occupational health and safety system can also affect its performance. The model shown should be used in the process of optimizing the occupational health and safety system in production systems to create measures in order to improve the existing system and to obtain the best possible indicators, obvious being injuries at work indicators.
