Occupational safety as a base of work injuries prevention

Zagotavljanje varnih in zdravih delovnih pogojev je ena temeljnih obveznosti delodajalca, ki jih določajo pravni predpisi, med katerimi je najpomembnejši Zakon o varnosti in zdravju pri delu. Z zagotavljanjem varnosti in zdravja pri delu se preprečujejo nezgode in odpravljajo vzroki poškodb. V diplomskem delu bomo predstavili, kako se zagotavlja varstvo pri delu v gradbeni dejavnosti. Navedli bomo dolžnosti delodajalcev – zagotavljanje usposabljanja za delo, ki ga opravljajo delavci, zagotavljanje brezhibne delovne opreme in ustrezne osebne varovalne opreme. Prav tako bomo opredelili tudi dolžnosti delavcev, ki morajo dosledno upoštevati predpise in navodila za varno izvajanje del. V gradbeni panogi se je nemogoče izogniti delu na višini, pri katerem lahko hitro pride do nezgode. Zato se bomo osredotočili na varno izvajanje dela na različnih vrstah odrov in lestvah.Ensuring safe and healthy work conditions is one of the basic responsibilities of the employer, set forth by legal regulations, the most important of which is the Slovene Health and Safety at Work Act.
