Abstract

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is a primary concern in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) discussion since the workers’ welfare is one of the main aspects of operating in a socially responsible manner. When searching for information about OSH management models, a large amount of content is obtained; however, they have not been compiled or synthesized for their analysis. The purpose of this study is to define the main models, guidelines, and indicators that allow building a conceptual framework for decision-making regarding the topic of OSH as a component for CSR. A literature review methodology was applied to select relevant information in the period 2009–2018 about OSH in manufacturing industries. This literature review allowed analyzing a final sample of 96 articles. As a result, this paper identifies the most applied OSH models, their benefits and challenges, as well as the main guidelines and indicators to be included as part of an OSH-based management model.
