COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES IN REPUBLIC OF CROATIA AND REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA

Zaštita na radu skup je tehničkih, zdravstvenih, pravnih, psiholoških, pedagoških i drugih djelatnosti pomoću kojih se otkrivaju i otklanjaju opasnosti koje ugrožavaju život i zdravlje osoba na radu i utvrđuju mjere, postupci i pravila kako bi se otklonile ili smanjile te opasnosti i štetnosti. Svrha zaštite na radu je stvoriti sigurne radne uvjete kako bi se spriječile ozljede na radu, profesionalne bolesti i nezgode na radu, odnosno umanjile eventualne štetne posljedice ako se opasnost ne može otkloniti. Kako bismo znali kako napreduje razvoj našeg sustava zaštite na radu, u ovom radu predstavljena je komparativna analiza ozljeda na radu između Republike Hrvatske i Republike Bugarske, analiza je obavljena prema ESAW metodologiji u razbolju od 2010. godine do 2017. godine i ukazuje na pojedine nepravilnosti koje vidimo po niskoj stopi ozljeda na radu u Bugarskoj, dok je velika stopa ozljeda na radu sa smrtnim ishodom. To upućuje na nejednaku primjenu ESAW metodologije u pojedinim članicama EU.IV SUMMARY Safety at work is a set of technical, health, legal, psychological, pedagogical and other activities that identify and eliminate threats to the life and health of persons at work and establish measures, procedures and rules to eliminate or reduce those dangers and harms. The purpose of safety at work is to create safe working conditions in order to prevent occupational injuries, occupational diseases and accidents at work, or to minimize any adverse consequences if the hazard can not be eliminated. In order to know how the development of our safety at work system is progressing, a comparative analysis of injuries at work between The Republic of Croatia and The Republic of Bulgaria, the analysis was performed according to the ESAW methodology in the years 2010 to 2017, and indicates some of the irregularities we see at a low rate of work-related injuries in Bulgaria, while a high rate of work-related injuries is fatal. This points to the unequal application of the ESAW methodology in individual EU Member States
