Occupational health and safety. Developing a model for the prevention and reduction of work related accidents.

Managing activities for occupational health and safety, as well as the improvement in working conditions constitute a primary goal for decision-makers either in national or in microsocial level. In this article, through quantitative analysis, it is attempted to present the design and development of an integrated model for the prevention and reduction of work related accidents. By following up the trends and norms of ratios such as frequency, severity and incidents of work related accidents, and developing an integrated occupational health and safety management model we aim through total quality philosophy (TQM), to improve both working conditions and quality of work as a whole.
