has been observed that majority of workers m the manufacturing sector
are daily exposed to diverse occupational health and safety hazards.
This has impaired their health status and adversely affected their
productive capacity. In the same vein, their pruness to industrial
accidents had equally incapacitated physically some of the factory
workers, which in turn had caused a decline in their level of
productivity. Therefore, there is need to investigate empirically the
relationship between occupational health and safety and employee's
productivity in the manufacturing sector using NESTLE PLC, Agbara as a
case study.
1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major objective of
this study is to investigate the effect of occupational health and
safety on employee's productivity in the manufacturing sector.
The specific objectives are:-
i. To find out the meaning of the concepts of occupational health and safety.
ii. To examine the joint effect of occupational health and safety on employee's productivity.
iii. To determine the relative effects of occupational health and safety on employee's productivity.
iv. To offer suggestions on how occupational health and safety could be used to enhance employee's productivity.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What is occupational health and safety?
2. What is the joint effect of occupational health and safety on employee's productivity?
3. What is the relative effect of occupational health and safety on employee's productivity?
4. What could be done to improve employee's productivity using occupational health and safety?
