Popis: This research is the first in our Algerian cement factories to assess the attitude and cultural level of cement plants in terms of occupational health and safety, initiate a sustainable development strategy, and engage in a process of continuous improvement. Its objective is to provide strategic decision-making support for managing the risks facing our cement plants and improving the quality of life at work. As a result, measuring the quality of life at work has become an essential element in improving living conditions for the employee, his family, and society as a whole. It is an essential component of sustainable development in nations and an encompassing concept, broader in scope than the notions of physical and mental health or even public health, for a better life in activity and retirement. The methodology consists of a survey of employees of different cement plants to enable us to determine the elements to be improved in health and safety at work, including with regard to the organizational and financial aspects of the latter. It is based on an in-situ observation. As a result, such an initiative makes it possible to build a global and sustainable strategy in health and safety at work in order to avoid damage and losses while achieving their objectives, or even managing to prevent accidents and occupational diseases. As a result, it is possible to provide elements of support for the evaluation of the sustainable development strategy and its good governance within Algerian cement factories, as well as very significant social and economic benefits in cement factory management. As a case study, we have chosen three cement factories in eastern Algeria.
