In the present research article, a modest attempt has been made to find some important features non-safety costs in maintenance of work equipments. The preventive maintenance is essential in maintaining the safety and reliability of work equipment, which is ensuring the safety and health of workers and also it, give an optimal and safe working environment. Here, we analyze the influence of the failure of the work equipment, as a result of non-preventive maintenance, on the managerial performance of a company. From the analysis of the effects of the costs of work-related events, it was found that the failure and deterioration of work equipment accounted a significant share from the cost of non-safety. These factors are an argument for the cost - benefit analysis of occupational safety and health. Final, we emphasized some important role of preventive maintenance, namely the necessity to carry out periodic safety tests, starting from the conception of many employers that they have the economic criterion regarding the safety and health of the workers in the work process.
