DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT FOR IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH IN UKRAINE.

Purpose. Development of a concept for improving the occupational safety in Ukrainian organizations based on the requirements of the EU Framework Strategy for occupational safety and health for the period 2021–2027. Methodology. To analyze the requirements of the EU Framework Strategy for Safety and Health at Work formalized content analysis was used, which is a qualitative-quantitative method for studying documents and consists in processing the text with further interpretation of the results. A generalized heuristic method was also applied, which through the use of common information bases, allowed the processing of information based on the use linear sequence of prescriptions intended for information processing, as well as methods of linguistic analysis of the text. In particular, words were determined using the etymological analysis of individual expressive elements of the language, inflections, rhythms, which made it possible to reveal the semantic load of the corresponding sentences in regulatory documents. Findings. A concept has been developed for improving the occupational safety and health management system of workers in Ukrainian organizations, which provides for the introduction of procedures for managing professional, corruption, psychosocial, epidemiological, military and ergonomic risks based on the developed state strategy for creating a safe and healthy workplace. To increase the effectiveness of the management system of occupational safety and health of employees in organizations, it is proposed to ensure the distribution of responsibilities of management subjects taking into account strategic, operational and linear management of occupational safety in the organization, which is based on the formation of transformational leaders with risk-oriented thinking. The components of the state strategy for a safe and healthy workplace have been developed, which contain a description of the mission, vision, set tasks and ways to solve them. Originality. The relationship is identified between measures to improve the management system of occupational safety and health of workers in organizations and the requirements of the EU Framework Strategy for occupational safety and health for the period 2021–2027, which made it possible to ensure the distribution of tasks between the proposed management equations. Practical value. Recommendations have been developed for the components of the national concept of a safe and healthy workplace, which contains requirements for the appointment of a state strategy in the field of occupational safety, development of the organization, identification of problems in the field of occupational safety, methods of their elimination and expected results.
