ABSTRACT

Occupational health and safety is very important for organizations, being approached and evaluated differently depending on the management of each organization. Work accidents occur most often on the basis of budgetary difficulties of organizations. Given the current economic situation, organizations are trying to cut costs or invest small amounts in preventing accidents. Another problem reported in various studies (Probst et al, 2008; Lopez et al, 2011; Fuente et al., 2014) is that in different countries, work accidents are not fully recorded. Most work accidents are recorded in the construction organization (Joao, 2012, Costa et al., 2012; Suarez-Cebador, 2014). Basically, the published results are relative and not actual reality. In this research, the authors present, the relative reality of Romania based on data from the Labour Inspection in Romania.
