The extent to which an organisation achieves its corporate objectives depends largely on the commitment of its workforce. Employees in the cement producing companies are exposed to many hazards at their workplace and this tends to affect their levels of job commitment. This study therefore, examines the influence of occupational health and safety on employees’ job commitment in selected cement producing companies in Ogun State. The study adopted descriptive survey and used accidental sampling procedure to select a sample of 222respondents from two cement factories in Ogun State. The two research instruments used were 14 items scale by Indakwa (2013) was adapted for occupational health and safety while Mayer and Allens (1996) 24 items scale on employees’ commitment was adapted. Using the regression analysis, the results of tests of hypothesis show that occupational health and safety significantly influence employees’ job commitment. It was recommended, among other things, that more awareness among workers in the company and other similar organisations be created through health and safety education. Also, occupational health and safety policies and practices should be effectively implemented in cement companies, while safety awards could equally be introduced as an incentive for supervisors and employees of units where no accidents occur.

Knowledge Levels

The occupational health and safety education program (OHS) is an important intervention strategy to prevent injuries among young workers. This study aims to emphasize the importance of inclusive and integrated occupational safety education in an Inclusive Vocational School for students at 10th grade. In this study, we investigated the success levels and the awareness of the students before and after the education on occupational safety. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of 12-hour basic OHS education on the students’ levels of awareness and knowledge and the retention of these effects. A questionnaire comprising 10 questions and an open-ended exam comprising 20 questions that measure their knowledge level on OHS were applied to the students who had just met with the workshop environment before and after the education. As a result, OHS education delivered to students has improved the students’ awareness of OHS positively. It was observed that the knowledge levels before receiving OHS education increased according to their knowledge level after regular OHS education.

Safety Knowledge

The safety culture plays an important role in reducing deaths and injuries in many sectors and educational institutions in developing countries. In this study, it was aimed to determine the occupational health and safety (OHS) course, which is taught as a compulsory course in Istanbul Aydın University before taking the course at the beginning of the term and after taking the course at the end of the term, the difference in occupational safety knowledge level and the level of perception of occupational safety culture. A total of 281 questionnaires were deemed valid. For the research, two different surveys were used to measure. Considering the results, there are positive differences in the knowledge level of the students before and after taking the OHS lesson. It has been determined that the safety culture does not change according to demographic information. OHS should be taught to every student in the universities.   Keywords: Occupational health and safety, Occupational safety education, Occupational health and safety lesson, Safety culture

ABSTRAK: Meningkatnya minat masyarakat terhadap batu akik sebagai perhiasan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir di Indonesia mendorong meningkatnya jumlah pengrajin batu akik. Pengrajin batu akik terpapar pada partikel batu yang utamanya terdiri atas silika. Tanpa proteksi diri yang sesuai, pengrajin berisiko mengalami penyakit akibat debu silika. Untuk melindungi pengrajin, diperlukan suatu program edukasi kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja. Tujuan kami adalah untuk menyebarluaskan informasi mengenai penyakit akibat debu silika dan upaya pencegahannya pada komunitas pengrajin batu akik di Kota Padang. Sebanyak dua puluh pengrajin diundang dan dinilai pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilakunya terhadap kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja menggunakan kuesioner. Bahan edukasi disampaikan dalam bahasa setempat, diikuti dengan diskusi. Pada tiap peserta juga dibagikan booklet edukasi dan masker standar. Analisis kuesioner menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta memiliki tingkat pendidikan yang rendah, tingkat pendapatan bervariasi, perokok, bekerja setiap hari, dan memiliki pengetahuan yang terbatas mengenai upaya kesehatan dan keselamatan kerja. Evaluasi lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk menilai apakah program ini berhasil memodifikasi perilaku kerja pengrajin akik.Kata kunci: akik, edukasi, Indonesia, pengrajin, silika ABSTRACT: The increased public interest in the last few years towards agate as accessories in Indonesia has turned more people to grind agate as an alternative occupation. Grinders are exposed to hazardous agate particles mostly consist of silica. Without proper occupational protection, grinders are at risk of developing silica dust-associated diseases. To protect grinders, an occupational health and safety education program is needed. Our aim was to disseminate information on silica dust-associated diseases and necessary preventive measures to a community of agate grinders in Padang. Twenty participants were invited. We assessed their prior knowledge, attitude, and behavior on occupational health and safety by using a 24-items questionnaire. Educational material was presented in local language, followed by a discussion. A printed-guide on silica dust-associated diseases and a standard mask was distributed to each participant. Analysis of questionnaire responses showed that most participants were of low educational level, had variable income, were smokers, worked all weekdays, and had limited knowledge on relevant occupational health and safety practice. Further evaluation is required to assess whether this program successfully modifies the occupational behavior of the agate grinders.Keywords: agate, education, grinder, Indonesia, silica
