ABSTRACT
The increase of the safety level depends on multiple factors. The legislative support, management awareness, staff's knowledge levels, and last but not least, the willingness and competencies of the organization's employees are indicators that significantly affect the successful implementation of new approaches. The creation of the environment where the occupational health and safety becomes matter-ofcourse is related to mutual relationships between management and employees. Therefore, stress should be laid not only on proper motivation but mainly on mutual communication. The functionality of numerous implemented management systems fails due to the underestimation of the quality and quantity of information crucial for the identification of dangers and threats. The BBS program provides for the efficient monitoring of dangerous activities for each profession. However, like other approaches, if misinterpreted, this approach shall become a burden without any effects on increasing the level of safety at work. This article reflects on the efficiency and functionality of standard OHS systems and it describes the approach that is being gradually applied in this area.
