Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the positive effect of the implementation of the occupational safety and health management system on the prestige of organizations in the construction sector in Colombia. At the methodological level, a descriptive type of study is used, as well as techniques for collecting information, the bibliographic review is used, which collects data from official documents of entities such as the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, Ministry of Labor, in addition to statistics issued by the Administrators of Labor Risks (A.R.L.). Approaching the implementation of the SGSST from the human talent management implies an improvement in terms of productivity, given that a safe environment leads to improved productive activities affecting the performance of different positions. The implications of the implementation of an SGSST are different; on the one hand the numbers of accidents, morbidity and mortality are reduced, which reduces days of incapacity and derived costs in health. On the other hand, it avoids legal sanctions for non-compliance with SGL legislation, increases productivity, while motivating and committing workers. Similarly, the consolidation of safe environments thanks to the SGSST allows companies to have an image of social responsibility with their workers and the different collaborators.
