STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Safety
management as a practice is very sacrosanct for the functional
wellbeing of any organization. Often times, it has been observed that
occupational hazard is surprisingly common in all sectors of the
economy. Studies in the past have revealed that organizations do not (or
partially) take proper consideration of the well-being of its
employees, and it has led to lower commitment from the workers. Usually,
this is a result of insufficient safety measures in factories and lack
of personal protective ‘equipment and there has never been a form of
payment to the injured employees. Also, there has never been any form of
programmes regards to safety training which will enable individual
employees or workers to be conscious of any occupational hazardous as
related to their operations at the workplace.The effect of the job
related injuries go far beyond the economic loss to the organization and
extend to long-term consequences to workers, their families and their
friends. Instead, they were focusing or seeking for more profit margins
at least cost. When the workers have known that their lives are not
secured in terms safety and well-being, they would not be able to exert
more effort to their jobs or not frilly committed to their jobs.
