Abstract
The aim of this research is to study the link between productivity and health and safety. Not disregarding the fact that, first of all, protection of human life is a matter of human rights issue, selected data are given related to occupational accidents and diseases on both macro and enterprise levels. The research stresses the importance of implementing health and safety interventions at workplace. These interventions have impact not only on enterprise level but also on individual and social levels. The report points out that interventions support company goals and performance and thus health and safety interventions at workplace can be considered as a key to business excellence. The other important concepts studied in this study are well being, workplace development and work organization. A new model is introduced by this report integrating productivity and well-being into one concept: workplace development. The model shows that work organization has a significant impact on the relationship between health and safety at work and productivity. The model is based on integrating work organization and health and safety programmes. Occupational safety and health programmes together with the other organizational projects contribute to the workplace development.
