“…They exhibited extensive knowledge on the types of occupational hazards, safety measures, required PPEs and had received training on accident prevention and on how to use PPEs. These results are consistent with the findings of Wahab et al (2014) who found that training workers on performance management of safety practices is important across companies and industries. Safety measures, however, cannot completely contribute to total prevention unless they are tied to problems relevant to individuals.…”

“…Successful investment in employee health and safety protection increases engagement, organizational efficiency and the company’s overall performance (Sembe and Ayuo, 2017; Quaigrain and Issa, 2021). In Malaysia, Wahab et al (2014) claimed that training workers on performance management safety practices is vitally important in every company and industry. Safety measures, however, cannot fully contribute to satisfaction unless they address problems relevant to the individual worker.…”

Purpose Occupational safety issues among employees remains a contemporary and omnipresent concern. In developing countries, safety-related problems are amplified, resulting in higher incidences of serious accidents and occupational diseases. This study aims to evaluate employees’ knowledge and attitudes toward occupational health and safety, and how these influence overall occupational health and safety compliance. Ghana’s oil and gas industry provides the contextual backdrop for this research, given it is characterized by high rates of injury. Design/methodology/approach A positivist and deductive research strategy was used to quantitatively analyze both primary and secondary data sources. A structured survey was administered to industry employees, and multiple linear regression was used to establish the effects of employee’s knowledge and attitude toward occupational health hazards on overall health and safety compliance. Findings The findings indicate that most employees had both a high level of knowledge and positive attitude toward mitigating occupational health hazards. Moreover, the study reveals that most employees complied with occupational health safety practices. However, the study also reveals that the effect of employees’ knowledge and attitude toward occupational health hazards does not translate into deployment of comprehensive safety practices. Interestingly, female employees were found to be more knowledgeable and compliant with occupational health and safety practices than their male counterparts. Practical implications Premised upon the findings, the study recommends: implementation of relevant education and training programs encompassing the proper usage of machinery and equipment, tailored hazard safety training appropriate to specific employee job requirements, effective dissemination of risk information and governance initiatives that enforce strict adherence to correct safety procedures. Originality/value The study uniquely examines the influence of employee’s knowledge of health and safety to overall compliance within the oil and gas industry. Cumulatively, the study’s findings and recommendations contribute to improving the occupational health and safety outcomes within the industry.

“…Employee participation and training have a significant positive impact on safety performance (Setyawan et al, 2021). Similarly, Wahab et al (2014)'s findings show that safety training practises have a significant impact on an organization's safety performance. Sukamani, Wang & Kusi (2021) had shown how safety training moderated the relation between safety worker behaviour & safety performance.…”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are widely acknowledged as the backbone of the Malaysian economy. Therefore, it is very important that SMEs manage occupational health and safety adequately. The purpose of this paper is to investigate safety management practices and its associations with the safety performance in Malaysian Bumiputera SMEs. A safety management system reflects the organization's commitment to safety which will result in improved safety performance; thus, it is worth investigating. In particular, this study aims to determine the relationship of safety management practices (entrepreneur's commitment, safety training, worker's involvement in safety, safety communication, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies) and safety performance (safety compliance and participation). In doing so, survey questions from previous studies are adopted and customized to collect data. The sample of 272 Bumiputera SME entrepreneurs is utilized, and the data are analysed using SPSS version 27. The results of the study reveal that safety management practice facets i.e., safety rules and procedures, safety communication, and entrepreneur commitment significantly influence safety performance. While safety promotion, worker involvement and safety training are not useful to the prediction of safety performance. This enables practitioners and scholars to comprehend and make appropriate decisions that can enhance safety performance among Bumiputera SME entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

“…Providing training should promote action, stimulate sensitivity, increase knowledge, and help workers deepen their knowledge and skills (O. Alli, 2008). In addition to aiming to increase knowledge, training for workers can also be a place to promote and communicate information and expectations related to the implementation of K3 to workers, which is stated by Wahab et al (2014) in his research. Moreover, in the study, it was also stated that providing training to workers can affect the improvement of OSH performance in the workplace (Wahab et al, 2014).…”

Background: The accidents at the workplace can affect productivity and public welfare. The occupational safety and health (OSH) program minimizes the case of accidents and illness at the workplace. The study site is a freight railway company with some risks as other transportation businesses. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the company's best practices in OSH programs. Methods: This research is a qualitative design with an online in-depth interview approach to collect the data. The head of the company, Central Java branch, was interviewed as the primary informant while the head of the operational section was the triangulation informant. The researchers also reviewed some documents to validate the interview results. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: inspection, briefing, and training are the main OSH related programs in the company to increase the safety climate in the workplace. However, the company has not implemented the inspection as scheduled, lack of safety materials for the morning briefing, and lack of training for the workers. Conclusion: The freight railway in the study site has implemented some OSH Programs, but the safety briefing, inspection, and OSH training need to be conducted. ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Masih tingginya angka kecelakaan kerja di Indonesia dapat mempengaruhi produktivitas serta kesejahteraan masyarakat. Untuk mencegah hal tersebut terjadi, diperlukan adanya program keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) di tempat kerja yang merupakan upaya dari perusahaan untuk meminimalisir terjadinya kasus kecelakaan kerja dan kasus penyakit akibat kerja. PT.X yang merupakan perusahaan logistik berbasis kereta api ini mempunyai potensi bahaya yang dapat memicu terjadinya kecelakaan di tempat kerja. Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui upaya dari perusahaan untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan kerja melalui program K3 yang ada di perusahaan. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu form wawancara mendalam, serta pengumpulan data dilakukan secara daring. Informan utama dan triangulasi dalam penelitian ini yaitu kepala cabang dan kepala operasional. Data dianalisis berdasarkan triangulasi metode dan triangulasi sumber. Hasil: Inspeksi, briefing, dan pelatihan merupakan program utama perusahaan yang berkaitan dengan K3, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan iklim K3 di tempat kerja. Tetapi, perusahaan tidak menjalankan inspeksi rutin, kurangnya materi K3 pada saat briefing, dan kurangnya pelatihan pada pekerja. Kesimpulan: Program K3 yang ada di PT. X masing-masing mempunyai kelebihan serta kekurangan, dan menyarankan untuk meningkatkan atau memperbaiki program K3, seperti penerapan inspeksi rutin, adanya pelatihan, dan pemberian materi K3 pada saat briefing.
