Employers and employees need to recognise that, Occupational Health and Safety involves more than just first aid activities but the complete adherence to policy and best practices Methods: The study assessed the effect of workers awareness of the health and safety policy in the organisation on cost and occupational accidents. Using the convenience sampling technique, a total of 180 employees from both public and private sector organisations responded to questionnaire used in the data collection through google forms and direct contact. Ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 to analysed the data collected. Results: The study found that workers awareness was statistically significant and positively related to health and safety policy in the organisation. The cost implication of implementing occupational health and safety policy was statistically insignificant and negatively related to occupational accident in the organisation Conclusion: It is concluded that management of the organisations may use effective strategies that ensure strict adherence to safety best practices in the performance of assigned tasks for collective good. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
