The purpose of the present study was to investigate and describe business owners perceptions of occupational health and safety management in micro enterprises. The data collection was conducted through qualitative interviews and the material from the interviews has been analyzed with a phenomenographic method. The similarities of the study's result are: "necessary for companies and employees", "time consuming" and "important to get help from someone who can". The differences that emerged are: "occupational health and safety management starts with the premises", "costs a lot of money", "not adapted for micro-enterprises", "occupational health and safety management is about leadership", "occupational health and safety management is complex", "occupational health and safety management does not feel amusing" and "occupational health and safety management only consists of requirements". Based on the results that have emerged from the study, the informants who work with the working environment seem to have a positive view while those who do not work with the work environment seem to have a negative view of it. The informants who work and do not work with the environment seem to work in different ways and have different priorities in the occupational health and safety management.
