 What is the so-called systems
approach in the workplace?

• An important component of
working conditions is an
area of safety engineering
and public health that deals
with the protection of
worker’s health through
control of the work
environment to reduce or
eliminate hazards.
•
• The systems approach
examines the following areas:
all work locations to
eliminate or control hazards,
operating methods and
practices, and the training of
employees and supervisors
regarding safe working
conditions.
• The key facts about accidents
and injuries are recorded to
check for and eliminate any
patterns that may lead to
hazards.
 NONPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
• Harassment is a form of discrimination
that creates a poor social environment and
work related outcomes. It usually stems
from reasons such as jealousy or simply
dominance over another that purposely
intimidates or threatens another party to
achieve an ulterior motive.
•
• Harassment is not a minor irritation that
has marginal or negligible consequences. Its
effects to the victims may include psycho-
emotional stress, a degrading aftermath,
self-doubt, health risk, work absences, and
job dissatisfaction.
Is there universal standard for the ethical
management in working condition?

Working conditions vary

depending on the kind of
the company, the nature
of the job, and the
position it holds.

whatever is unsafe for any worker in

any given workplace is unsafe for all
workers- regardless of age, gender,
geographic location or nationalities.
Are good working conditions a factor to
business success?
Keeping employees safe and satisfied
also makes good business sense because
people are more likely to produce
quality work when they feel valued.
there is a positive relationship between
socially responsible workplace programs
and business success.
