Abstract:

This work is an opportunity for assessing the attitude and cultural level of cement plants in occupational health and safety then initiate a sustainable development strategy and engage in a continuous improvement process. Its objective is to provide strategic decision support for the management of the risks facing our cement factories while being based on knowledge of the attitude and the cultural level of employees in health and safety at work. Such an initiative makes it possible to build a global and sustainable OHS strategy in order to avoid damage and losses while achieving their objectives, or even succeed in preventing accidents and occupational diseases. Our study is based on an in situ observation. It consists of a survey of cement factory employees to enable us to determine the elements to be improved in occupational health and safety. This study is a first of its kind in our cement plants, the results of the survey clearly show that the three cement companies are at the same cultural level in occupational health and safety , and that all the actions carried out at the level of the three companies are proven to be inadequate and disparate ,and staff are often deprived of the means to manage their health and safety without any training ,information or guidance on the risks involved in the various. we chose three cement factories in eastern Algeria.
