The “life” of every enterprise consists of many interdependent processes. Occupational health and safety is an area which accompanies all of those workplace processes. Innovation, i.e. broadly understood organisational and process-related changes are one way of improving the health and safety at work. Innovation in the fi eld of OHS involves ideas on how to improve the existing, and how to introduce new solutions aimed at enhancing the quality of work. Appropriate safety management, monitoring and assessment of the implemented improvements, access to knowledge and new technologies, adequate social relationships within a company all influence the internal corporate atmosphere, rendering the enterprise competitive, and strengthening its position on the market
