The essential characteristics of the main concepts of the categorical apparatus of work safety management in territorial communities

Abstract

Workplace safety management in territorial communities is of great importance for ensuring the safety and health of workers at the local community level. In order to prevent accidents and de-terioration of health, effective work safety management is essential, involving a systematic ap-proach to the identification, assessment, and control of risks associated with working conditions and processes. Contemporary realities necessitate research into the mechanism of work safety manage-ment and the establishment of a unified theoretical approach to understanding the concept of «work safety management». To comprehensively analyze the mechanism of work safety management, it is important to study the theoretical foundation of this issue. Work safety is a priority task for protecting the life and health of workers. Research on work safety management in territorial communities will con-tribute to improving the system of safety measures, leading to a reduction in accidents and an en-hancement of working conditions. This article examines the peculiarities of the categorical apparatus of work safety manage-ment in territorial communities. The definitions of «safety» and «work safety management» were studied. Work safety management is a purposeful activity aimed at preventing the impact of harm-ful and dangerous factors on an object or subject, with the goal of minimizing harm to them. Ap-proaches to defining the term «territorial community» were analyzed, and the main tasks of territo-rial communities in guaranteeing the safety of their residents were determined. These tasks include conducting assessments of the risks of emergencies within their territory, implementing civil protec-tion measures at their own expense to reduce the level of emergency risk, taking measures to ensure that acceptable levels of such risks are not exceeded, developing measures to ensure fire and other types of safety, creating and utilizing material reserves to prevent and mitigate the consequences of emergencies, and incorporating scientific and technological advancements and positive experiences in addressing these issues.
