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.

Współczesne przedsiębiorstwa coraz częściej stosują systemowe, proaktywne podejście do zarządzania bhp. Wymaga ono kompleksowego i wszechstronnego traktowania zagadnień zdrowia i bezpieczeństwa pracowników. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie różnorodnych sposobów zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa i ochrony zdrowia pracowników w ramach współczesnego podejścia do zarządzania bhp. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na kwestie zdrowia organizacyjnego oraz interwencji wpływających na redukcję stresu związanego z pracą. Artykuł składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza ma charakter teoretyczny. Druga stanowi studium przypadku organizacji, która w sposób systemowy zarządza bezpieczeństwem i ochroną zdrowia pracowników. Podjęła ona w tym celu wiele różnorodnych działań o charakterze technicznym, systemowym i behawioralnym. Działania te realizowane są kompleksowo przez służby bhp, działy zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi i jakości oraz osoby odpowiedzialne za medycynę pracy i psychologów zakładowych.

Nowadays, more and more organizations are using a system-based, proactive approach to the management of occupational safety and health (OSH). This requires that treatment of worker health and safety now be more complex and comprehensive than it has been. The aim of this paper is to present the diversity of OSH dimensions within the framework of the contemporary approach to OSH management. The paper looks particularly at issues of organizational health and interventions addressing work-related stress. The second part of the article describes a case study of the implementation of a system-based OSH programme in one company, which undertook numerous technical, systemic and behavioral activities requiring the cooperation of many departments and individuals: OSH, HR, quality management and occupational medicine and Occupational Health Psychologists
