The paper includes a discussion of the role of managers in the occupational health and safety system of employers, with an emphasis on clear responsibilities and lines of communication for all subjects. The occupational health and safety system must ensure clear communication between its subjects in order to make them aware of their responsibility in everyday business. There is no equality of responsibility between those who provide guidelines and create occupational health and safety policy and those who are employed to follow it. The introduction of occupational health and safety management systems and the more active involvement of employees in such systems is essential for achieving the ideal of self-regulation of occupational health and safety. Self-regulation and the implicit need for management systems, as well as the active involvement of employees, have been recognized and to a significant extent legally regulated. Since the introduction of legal solutions, safety standards have improved significantly, but practice has shown that their further improvement is necessary.
