我國職業災害在政府、勞、雇及社會團體共同努力下，其災害千人率有逐年降低之趨勢，目前已由民國七十六年的5.91降為八十二年的3.27，降幅為百分之四十五，但職業災害仍無法完全消除，其原因可從安全衛生發展層面加以剖析改善安全衛生管理方式，使企業能將品質，生產與安全衛生融成一體，才能徹底的消除職業災害。 合理有效的安全衛生管理，應以人性為中心，重視人性化管理，建立分享經驗之觀念，推動工作安全，災害歸零，並掌握全方位管理制度，將安全衛生列入生產製程中；其努力過程除應注意本土他外，也應朝向國際化邁進，以提高工作環境品質，不但能保護勞工生命安全與健康，更能提供舒適的工作環境，透過有效之安全衛生管理體系，企業才能永續經營與發展。
