Abstract
Well-being and safety are concepts which as close to each
other have so
far been studied separately. Well-being at work focuses
on well-being of
members of an organisation. A need has been perceived to
define safety in
a positive and proactive way in order to promote more
comprehensive
safety management. Approach to well-being is positive
unlike to safety,
which has traditionally been connected to accidents. We
propose to define
safety as a positive property of an organization: the
capability to
continuously produce economic, human and environmental
well-being.
This definition connects well-being, safety, and
well-being at work
