ABSTRACT
The contemporary systemic focus adopted in the domain of Health and Safety (H&S) at work establishes itself as the consequence of an entire evolutional process, either in terms of developing these issues within the organisations, or at the models of operational management level. More than a simple add-value contribute in terms of risk management, a H&S management system is a philosophical and operational challenge for the organization that attempts to implement it. The reason for this challenge is because it requires a structured approach for identification, evaluation and control of the risk factors of their activity and an ongoing effort to continuously improve its efficiency and effectiveness.
