Legal Systems and related laws in risk management
Abstract:
This comprehensive academic research investigates the multifaceted dimensions of occupational
health and safety (OHS) within law enforcement organizations, with a particular focus on the
Romanian National Police. Integrating insights from a systematic literature review, perspectives
from Romanian police specialists, and additional considerations for strategic enhancement, the
study aims to delineate key OHS risks, assess existing risk management practices, and propose
forward-looking measures. This paper underscores the paramount importance of prioritizing
OHS within law enforcement, considering its profound impact on officers' well-being,
organizational efficacy, legal accountability, and community relationships.
1. Introduction
The dynamic and challenging nature of law enforcement underscores the critical role of
occupational health and safety (OHS) as a foundational pillar for organizational effectiveness
and officer well-being. As Power (2004) notes, "Efforts to introduce risk management policies
have been determined by characteristics of economic life: the trend of increasing risk, which is
explained because of the accelerating technological progress..." This research delves into the
intricate landscape of OHS within the Romanian National Police, unraveling the complexities
officers face daily and proposing a holistic framework for sustainable risk management.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the proposed legal imperatives form a nuanced framework within occupational
health and safety. They not only address physical safety but also mental health, stress
management, and work-life balance. Through strategic legal interventions, lawmakers can shape
law enforcement environments that prioritize resilience, acknowledge the human cost of
policing, and create safer spaces for those dedicated to upholding the law. Collaborative efforts
between legal systems and risk management practices become a powerful mechanism for
fostering a healthier, more supportive law enforcement culture.
