The President of MOSHA, Milan Petkovski pointed out that concrete actions that would in time make appropriate operations are not being taken.
- For someone to be more reliable and safer at the workplace a longer period of time is needed, since the laws are not giving immediate solutions, said Petkovski.

The promotion of the study was made by PhD Aleksandae Grozdanovski who has completed the field research.
The aim of the study is to improve and promote the bipartite OHS dialogue in the companies and to strengthen the role of workers' OHS representatives thus creating healthy workplaces.
From this research we came to the conclusion that workers and employers are facing with problems and difficulties in their work environment and therefore it is recommend training and education of employees, OHS representatives, TU representatives and continuous training of employers for full implementation of the OHS Law within the public and private sector.
