Abstract

Health and safety at work issue has come to the fore in advanced countries in recent years; however, this is not the case in developing countries. The amount of concern reflects how much these countries are scientifically, socially, politically and economically developed. It equally signifies that they give immense care for the individual both as human and productive qualities. Our problematic starts from providing Health and safety at work relying on policies adopted by economic organization in general considering the support given to zero accident trends. The examination of such problematic lies on answering these questions as follows: What do we mean by health and safety? What are their importance and objectives? For the second concern, what are the major industrial risks and accidents? Lastly, how could health and safety reduce rate of accidents at work, and how could it contribute in achieving sustainable development?
