Abstrakt

Decision making on OHS investments influences on many factors. On one hand it is necessary to keep the legislation requirements directly related to preventive protection of employees. On the other hand the decision on keeping or failing to comply the rules also brings possible costs for recovery of damages from occupational accidents. The basic assumption, which is the nature of this article is hypothesis, if it is worth for companies to invest in preventive protection of workers and what is the limit, in which this type of protection is effective.
