The problem of the protection of labor in the construction industry has always been acute, as there is a large number of objects that cause harmful and dangerous production factors and, consequently, causes of occupational diseases and injuries of workers. Analysis of the status and protection of labor at the construction industry enterprises of the Belgorod region, allowed to identify the main types of violations, to identify ways to decrease them. It is established that in order to reduce the level of occupational injuries in the construction industry it is necessary to introduce innovative methods of occupational safety and health improvement, to accelerate the level of education and level of vocational training of workers.

BACKGROUND: Mining, especially underground coal mining, has always been a hazardous occupation. Injuries, including those that are fatal, are a major occupational risk that all miners have to face. OBJECTIVE: Despite the fact that all workers are aware of the risks, efforts must be made to increase their safety through the implementation of preventive measures. METHODS: This retrospective study includes injury data from all nine Serbian coal mines over a 16-year period, from 2000 to 2016. All injury data were collected from employee safety and health records. RESULTS: In the analyzed period, a total of 9,273 occupational injuries were recorded at Resavica. The highest number of occupational injuries (over 600) were recorded in 2008 (669), 2004 (651), and 2005 (603). The data shows that almost one fifth of the total number of occupational injuries, or 20.74%, occurred during the said three years. On average, 493.06 minor, 51.12 severe, and 1.29 fatal injuries occurred each year. Every day there were 1.29 minor occupational injuries and every seven days there was one severe injury. CONCLUSIONS: Despite indications that there is a connection between some of the variables and the number of injuries, the general conclusion is that injuries are accidental and unpredictable. The high percentages of injuries are due to the organization of work and the age or qualification structure of the staff and, of course, are the consequence of likelihood –the greater the number of workers, the greater the likelihood of injury. However, the present study showed that some measures can be taken to increase occupational safety and reduce the number of injuries.

Publicizing firms’ socially undesirable actions may enhance firms’ incentives to avoid such actions. In 2009, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began issuing press releases about facilities that violated safety and health regulations. Using quasi-random variation arising from a cutoff rule OSHA followed, I find that publicizing a facility’s violations led other facilities to substantially improve their compliance and experience fewer occupational injuries. OSHA would need to conduct 210 additional inspections to achieve the same improvement in compliance as achieved with a single press release. Evidence suggests that employers improve compliance to avoid costly responses from workers. (JEL J28, J81, K32, L51, M54)

The majority of residents of Wonosalam Subdistrict are farmers who are at high risk of having health problems due to interactions with hazardous materials, such as pesticides. The implementation of occupational safety and health (K3) which is still low triggers the occurrence of accidents and diseases in farmers that have an impact on performance degradation so that it can cause losses. The aim of this study to find out the relationship between farmers 'characteristics and farmers' perceptions in the application of K3 in Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency by using descriptive quantitative methods. Observation variables include age, level of education, training, length of farming, income, land status and land area on perceptions of OHS application. The data used are primary data obtained from 98 farmers using a questionnaire. Analysis of the data used in this study is thecorrelation analysis Spearman Rank. The results showed that the characteristics of farmers associated with farmers' perceptions in applying OSH were the level of education and training. While the characteristics of farmers who are not related to the perception of farmers in the application of OSH are age, length of farming, income, land status and land area.

The main objective of this study was to develop a freely available mobile software application and education platform in health and safety for aquaculture workers and managers.  The application, called AquaSafe, was created in Portuguese and English for the Android system using the Java 8 programming language and the Android Studio development environment. AquaSafe content focusses on the identification of hazards and health risks, hazardous sources and preventive measures for occupational health and safety in the aquaculture sector. It has three predominantly interactive user interfaces to reinforce the main messages, which include games in the form of compliance checklists, quizzes and question-answer tools. The software is designed to act as a platform for assessment and management of occupational hazards, guide decision making on simple techniques or measures to prevent injuries, diseases and fatalities during aquaculture activities. It is envisaged that the AquaSafe mobile software will contribute to the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases in aquaculture.

Technologies in which working life is the basis of business, and research into losses due to absenteeism, are a complex social and individual problem. Surveys conducted at the level of Member States of the European Community show that these losses amount to about 4% of GDP (gross social income). Due to inadequate record keeping, it is not possible to calculate how much such damage is in Serbia, but according to the available parameters related to the number of injuries at work, the state of occupational safety in Serbia does not deviate significantly from the situation in Europe. Safer working conditions are of great interest to the state, since work incapacity directly affects the state budget. Thus, apart from repression, the state should share with the employers the costs of investing in occupational safety and health. By reducing the tax rate or introducing a zero value added tax (VAT), employers would be encouraged to invest in occupational safety and health.The costs of injuries at work are mainly borne by employers, but the damage incurred is also reflected at the national level. The costs of occupational injuries can be divided into direct and indirect costs.The paper presents an economic approach to a harmful event (injury at work) and points to itto certain direct and indirect costs in entrepreneurship.
