| Summary: |
This article addresses a problem in the field of occupational safety, which is that
despite policies to promote safety and health at work, statistics show an increase in occupational injuries. International organizations promote safety and health at work, with the purpose of reducing injuries and ensuring the health and well-being of workers, provided that autonomy and self-management are developed from a culture of safety. However, the reality is that occupational injury and illness statistics runs contrary to the desired reduction of injuries and promotion of welfare, as the main cause of these work injuries are unsafe acts of the worker, particularly in the construction sector. Workplace-based training in safety and health, with the aim of improving self-care, represents an opportunity to reduce injuries and promote worker welfare. |
