The corporate social responsibility of firms in the light of health and safety at work

To save health and safety at work is today, in the language of the management and step-by-step of lawyers, bound with the notion of corporate social responsibility. Beyond legal pressures progressively integrated in the positive law, employers must take care about them in their decisions to have the adhesion of employees and to contribute to the conservation of a healthy environment. Goals are as those including by the triple bottom line of Elkington (economic, social and legal), as those corresponding to the logic via media and politicians with the management of the appearance of the firm. In addition, it's possible to ask you: how long can we continue to have a balance about responsibility and reparation around health and safety? How firms can succeed with taking care about interests of actual and future employees too? The answer ask you to study how France choose a corporate social responsibility with an important place for the State in opposition of what could be prefered by some authors. But the problem is that this system can be excessively interpreted by Judges. They often accept the responsibility of the employer in cases while it's not sure that he (or the activity of the firm) created the risk. In addition, the French corporate social responsibility can't be adapted enough and quickly as it's necessary concerning health and safety at work. That is why, you must see if other ways can been more satisfying. They can be with the same persons (employers and employees or their representatives) or with others stakeholders. It don't mean that the State can't be have a role in the corporate social responsibility about health and safety at work. But it's important to see if it can be interesting to give firms possibilities to act voluntarily and ask you if we have to change the repartition of powers concerning this questions in France. An independent control of results must be planned.
