Abstract

Employees in North Macedonia face numerous workplace dangers and hazards, while inadequate working conditions and economic and social pressures contribute to occupational accidents and illnesses. The country has implemented European occupational safety and health requirements, including employee training, workplace risk assessments, working-condition measurements, medical examinations and equipment testing. The paper presents a methodology for estimating the costs of workplace accidents and illnesses. Such costs can significantly affect company budgets, disrupt development plans, cause unexpected financial losses and result in the loss of important human resources and interruptions to business operations.
