Abstract

Occupational health and safety management (OHSM) in micro and small enterprises may look like an odd ex-pression. Most
owner-managers do not think of OHSM as something to give priority. They are occupied with management of the core
business which in many cases constitute a simple fight for survival. However, OHS is always managed in one way or the
other, and the important point is to learn how the owner-manager focus on the core business can be integrated with
improvement of the work environment. It is therefore crucial to understand the thinking of owner-managers and their
social relations with the employees in order to develop support programmes for micro and small enterprises which
successfully improves conditions for owner-managers as well as their employees.
