The area of human resources management is inseparably connected with the employee’s health protection, that is, according to the definition adopted by the WHO, ensuring the state of physical, mental and social well-being. The development of the Occupational Safety and Health management systems, especially the effectiveness of the action taken, building a safety culture, requires involvement of all of the organization members, which is backed by the law and safety standard requirements. Measurement of employee participation in the area of occupational health and safety is a component of the safety climate in a fairly limited scope, which is why the authors developed a model covering the legal and systemic aspects of employee involvement in health and safety at the workplace. The objective of the article is to identify factors which enable evaluation of the involvement level of all of the organization members in OSH with the use of confirmatory factor analysis. The study results, which were obtained using the PAPI method on a group of 195 organization representatives, allowed for the construction of a tool for the measurement of the employee involvement in OSH, characterized by proper and high accuracy and reliability levels. Using the developed tool, proven was the positive correlation between the size of the organization and the employee involvement level in OSH.

Research background: Despite a dynamically growing exploration of broadly understood employee participation, there is still space left for more in-depth or new analyses in this area, and occupational health and safety (OHS) serves as a good example in this respect. In empirical studies, employee participation in the field of occupational health and safety is not treated as a separate element of ensuring safety in the organisation, but only as a minor element of occupational health and safety management, or as just one of the elements building a safety culture. Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to propose a synthetic measure of active employee participation in OHS taking into account the depth and scope of this participation. A comparative analysis of the level of active participation of OHS at medical facilities and in other sectors of the economy was also performed. Methods: The theoretical model for active employee participation in OHS was tested by means of a survey using the PAPI (Paper & Pen Personal Interview) method. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used. The developed construct (characterised by an adequately high level of validity and reliability) was used in a comparative analysis of medical institutions with other sectors of the economy with the use of the Mann?Whitney U test. Findings & value added: This research fills the theoretical gap in the model approach to participation in OHS. It has been found (EFA and CFA analyses) that active employee participation in OHS consists of one dimension (15 items). The model for active employee participation in OHS and the universal measurement scale developed and validated in this study represent a step forward towards the effective and reliable measurement of employee participation. In addition, the research has shown that the level of active employee participation in OHS at medical facilities is lower than in other sectors of the economy. The added value of this paper results from the approach to measuring employee participation in OHS which takes into account the depth and scope of this participation. The tool is consistent with international regulations and standards in the field of OHS, and thus can be used in other countries to assess active employee participation in OHS, regardless of the size and profile of the company or the sector of the economy.
