Анализ состояния профессиональной безопасности в отрасли подземного строительства Чехии и за рубежом

Workplace safety is of paramount importance today. This determines both construction site organization, including when driving underground tunnels, and safety costs to ensure appropriate safety measures. Both the building owner and the building contractor are interested in ensuring that workplace safety requirements are satisfied without increases in construction costs and that a safe working environment is provided. For the production of works in the field of construction of underground structures, multinational or foreign companies often enter the Czech market. Likewise, Czech construction companies participate in competitions to choose a contractor abroad. The paper discusses not only the qualifications of occupational health and safety specialists for the underground construction industry in the Czech Republic and some countries of the European Union, but also a occupational safety and health management system. Developing the legislative requirements, all EU countries proceeded from the general requirement for occupational safety and health in the construction industry. The priority is to provide a safe working environment, thereby ensuring maximum productivity of employees. On the other hand, the legislative requirements of some countries take into account the national patterns of human behavior, which changes the requirements for occupational safety and health management. We study the interrelation of the legislative requirements of different countries to achieve a common goal: a safe working environment at construction sites.
