Abstract		The article with the economic aspect of investments into safety at work from the point of view of developed systems of safety at work, the objective of which is to ensure such level of safety of workers which will ensure workers that even after completing their full working life they do not suffer from any negative effects related to safety at work. The costs of safety at work are assessed from two aspects. First, there are investment costs into safety measures at work. The costs of safety at work are assessed from two aspects. First, there are investment costs into safety measures at work and second, there are cost savings which are the results of positive effects of appropriate investments into safety at work. For this reason the costs of safety at work should not be treated only within the framework of costs of labour, even though the costs of safety at work are linked primarily to the engagement and employment of workforce but also as an individual category of costs. The role of the economic discipline is to see to two objectives: first, to develop a methodology of measurement of damage caused by negligent safety at work at the level of the national economy and at the corporate level, and second, to ensure that certain findings in the field of economics of safety at work are implemented. Both are extremely important for Slovenia, since Slovenia has had very poor results in the field of safety at work, which is the result of the fact that so far the relevant problems have been tackled by engineers of safety at work, whereas economists have neglected them.
Summary		Prispevek obravnava ekonomski pomen vlaganj v varstvo pri delu z vidika ciljev razvitih sistemov varstva pri delu, katerih namem je zagotoviti takšno raven varnosti delavcev, ki bo le-tem omogočala, da tudi po preteku polne delovne dobe ne bodo imeli negativnih posledic, povezanih z varstvom pri delu. Pri tem stroške varstva pri delu osvetljuje predvsem z dveh vidikov: najprej kot stroške vlaganj v delovno varstvene ukrepe, nato pa kot prihranke v stroških, do katerih pride zaradi pozitivnih učinkov ustreznih vlaganj v varstvo pri delu. Prav zaradi tega stroškov varstva pri delu ne kaže obravnavati zgolj v sklopu stroškov delovne sile, četudi so vlaganja v varstvo pri delu resnično povezana predvsem z angažiranjem in trošenjem delovne sile, pač pa tudi kot samostojno kategorijo stroškov, pri čemer pa mora ekonomska stroka poskrbeti predvsem za dvoje: prvič, izdelati mora metodologijo merjenja škod zaradi slabega varstva pri delu tako na narodnogospodarski kot tudi na podjetniški ravni in drugič, poskrbeti mora za uveljavljanje spoznanj s področja varstva pri delu, kar je verjetno tudi posledica dejstva, da so se s to problematiko doslej ukvarjali predvsem inženirji varstva pri delu, medtem ko so jo ekonomisti zanemarjali.
