Occupational safety and health in the supply chains
other
Current business and organisational practices have led to an increased importance of supply chains to business strategy as well as within national and global economies [1]. Nowadays, businesses increasingly rely on the outsourcing of parts of their activities and processes. Companies function and compete more and more on a supply chain level, in specific networks with their suppliers and service providers. This outsourcing trend and growing importance of supply chains has implications for the working conditions and health and safety of workers of both the supplier and the contracting companies. This article will present some general aspects of occupational safety and health (OSH) in supply chains and will examine the strategies and instruments used by companies to promote OSH practices in those networks.
