Absztrakt

The prevention and effective management of industrial accidents is key to protecting public health, the environment, and economic stability. The comparison of online platforms and databases allows us to present a comprehensive picture of safety practices in different industrial sectors, as well as their efficiency and effectiveness. This will help to identify best practices and areas where further improvements are needed for the country concerned. As a result of our comparative analysis, targeted measures can be taken to prevent and manage accidents, reduce the number and severity of industrial accidents, and continuously improve industrial safety standards and practices. Furthermore, comparative analyses allow us to identify differences in industrial safety cultures and the lessons that can be learned from them. We provide suggestions for improving the efficiency and competitiveness of industrial processes while focusing on the safety of workers, the public, and the environment, as a key priority.
