1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
In
today’s workplace, whether it is on a plantation,in an office, factory,
institutions, etc. everyworker across the globe is faced with a
multitudeof health hazards such as dusts, gases,noise, vibration and
extreme temperatures. Thisinvariably results to absenteeismtriggered by
ill-health. Unfortunatelysome employers assume little responsibility
forthe protection of workers’ health and safety.
It is noteworthy
that the right to life is fundamental and most be considered sacrosanct.
Yet every year 2.2 million men and women are deprived of that right by
occupational accidents and work related diseases (ILO, 2011). By
conservative estimates workers suffer 270 million occupational accidents
and 160 million occupational diseases each year (ILO, 2011). This is
perhaps just the tip of the iceberg, as data for estimating nonfatal
illness and injury are not available in most developing countries.
Occupational injuries alone account for more than 10 million
Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost, or healthy years of life
lost whether to disability or premature death, and 8% of unintentional
injuries worldwide (ILO, 2011).
The consequences of construction
incidents (accidents, ill-health and environmental pollution) on
workers’ productivity are so grave that construction companies should be
legally, morally and socially compelled to inculcate safety measures in
their workforce. Construction incidents especially
those involving
lost time injuries (LTI) and lost workdays (LWD) usually lead to shop
closure for incident investigation and reporting. This situation results
in loss of man-hours, output, reputation and low workers morale. It is
on this backdrop that this study was carried to investigate the impact
of industrial health and safety management on worker’s productivity.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY:
The
major objective of this study is to examine The Impact of Industrial
Health and Safety Management on Workers Productivity. Other specific
objectives of this study are to:
1.To determine different type of health and safety method essential for organizational improved performance.
2.To find out effect of health and safety management on employee performance.
3.To examine the effect of health and safety management on organizational performance.
4.To find out the effect of health and safety management on organizational equipment and property.
5.To determine the effect of health and safety management on employee lives and wellbeing.
