Abstract. Despite the availability of a number of Accident Investigation
Methods (AIMs), Labour Inspectors (LIs) are not sufficiently supported
by a structured method. Specific requirements of LIs are discussed and
they are used to compare selected AIMs. Selected AIMs fulfill most of the
requirements specified, except for the legal requirement. The need for
the development of a new AIM, especially designed for LIs, has emerged.
Existing AIMs could be useful but a special method, taking into account
legal factors as well, is more appropriate. The development of a new method
including the search for legal factors may be of great assistance to companies,
raising awareness and facilitating proactive behaviour. A new accident
investigation method, especially designed for LIs would also support the
decisions and planning of the relevant Ministry of Labour in terms of policymaking,
prioritisation of actions, campaigns and accident prevention programs.
Key Words: Accidents; Investigation methods; Labour Inspectors;
Root causes; Legal factors
UVRŠĆIVANJE PROPISA INSPEKCIJE RADA
U METOD ISTRAŽIVANJA NESREĆA
Uprkos dostupnosti izvesnog broja Metoda istraživanja nesreća (eng. AIM),
službenici u inspekciji rada (eng. LI) ne dobijaju adekvatnu podršku
u vidu neke strukturisane metode. U radu su izloženi specifični zahtevi
inspekcije rada i poslužili su kao osnov za poređenje nekoliko metoda.
Odabrane metode ispunjavaju većinu zahteva koji su navedeni, izuzev pravog
propisa. Potreba da se razvije novi metod, koji bi bio osmišljen tako
da služi inspekciji rada, se je pojavila. Postojeći metodi bi mogli biti
od koristi ali poseban metod, koji bi u obzir uzimao i pravne faktore bi
bio mnogo prikladniji. Razvoj nove metode koja uključuje i traganje za
pravnim faktorima bi mogao da bude od velike koristi kompanijama, jer bi
širio svest i pospešivao proaktivno ponašanje. Novi metod istraživanja
nesreća, oformljen u skladu sa radom inspekcije bi pružio podršku odlukama
i planovima nadležnog Ministarstva o radu u pogledu novih zakona, određivanju
prioriteta, u kampanjama i programima prevencije.
