Resumen

La gestión de riesgos laborales integrada en las operaciones de la empresa ha sido objeto de creciente importancia en los últimos años, puesto que no sólo reduce los índices de accidentes, sino también las pérdidas económicas y, en consecuencia, mejora la productividad de la empresa. Sin embargo, se ha prestado poca atención al análisis de los factores de la organización que facilitan o limitan la implantación de un sistema de gestión de la seguridad dentro de la misma. Con el fin de cubrir este vacío en la literatura, este estudio se centra en la identificación de aquellas características que fomentan el desarrollo de dicho sistema. Los resultados muestran que el tamaño de la empresa, la experiencia previa en políticas de calidad y medioambientales o el grado de internacionalización de la empresa, entre otros, ejercen una influencia positiva sobre la gestión de la seguridad.
