Summary/Abstract: The concept of corporate social responsibility has taken hold in contemporary business discourse. It is a concept which denotes a readiness on the part of an organisation to take and bear responsibility for the effects of their decisions and actions in the society and natural environment. As part of the concept, enterprises increase the level of investment in environmental protection, human resources, and relationship with the stakeholders. Ensuring healthy and safe conditions in a workplace as well as taking care of employee health is undoubtedly part of any company’s social obligations, and as such might be considered an integral element of corporate social responsibility. In the light of the corporate social responsibility concept, occupational health and safety is an investment which increases the competitiveness of the enterprise involved.
