An Occupational Health and Safety Performance Management Framework for Small-Scale Contractors in Developing Countries – hinnat ja saatavuus

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of occupational health and safety (OHS) performance management for small-scale contractors in developing countries, particularly in the construction industry. It highlights the critical role of OHS in reducing workplace accidents, injuries, and fatalities while improving productivity and competitive advantage. By addressing the unique challenges faced by small-scale contractors, such as limited access to resources and poor implementation of OHS practices, the book aims to bridge the gap in knowledge and practice in these regions. The author team conceptualizes a framework specifically designed for small-scale contractors to measure, benchmark, and improve their OHS performance. It examines the current state of OHS in developing countries, identifies key issues, and provides actionable strategies to enhance safety and health management. The framework is presented as a practical tool for contractors, organizations, and regulatory bodies to adopt and implement, ensuring long-term benefits such as reduced incidents and improved operational efficiency. Additionally, the book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, offering theoretical insights into OHS performance management and its application in small-scale contracting firms. This book is intended for a diverse audience, including small-scale contractors, policymakers, health and safety regulators, project managers, and stakeholders in the construction industry. It is particularly beneficial for those in developing economies seeking to improve OHS practices and performance. Researchers and academics will also find the book useful as a foundation for further studies in OHS management, while organizations can use the framework as a guide to enhance safety standards and compliance.
