The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of health and safety training, safety monitoring, and enforcement of compliance on employee efficiency in manufacturing firms. The research employed the quantitative approach involving a descriptive survey. A sample size of 360 respondents was randomly selected for the study. A questionnaire instrument was used in gathering primary data for the study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used in providing a comprehensive validation of the measurement instrument. The required inferential statistics including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests were performed and were satisfactory. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to estimate structural relationships between health and safety training, safety monitoring and enforcement of compliance on employee efficiency. The research results showed that health and safety training has a significant positive effect on employee efficiency with a p-value of 0.000; safety monitoring has a significant positive effect on employee efficiency with a p-value of 0.000 and enforcement of compliance has a significant positive effect on employee efficiency with a p-value of 0.000. The research brings to the fore and creates awareness on the influence of health and safety training, safety monitoring, and enforcement of compliance to safety and health standard towards enhancing workers' safety, health and welfare for improved employee efficiency. Manufacturing firms should ensure adequate health and safety training and proper safety monitoring and enforcement of compliance to safety and health standard to reduce accidents and improve employee efficiency and performance.

This paper presents a design and prototype of an IoT-based health and safety monitoring system using MATLAB GUI. This system, which is called the Smart Health and Safety Monitoring System, is aimed at reducing the time, cost and manpower requirements of distributed workplaces. The proposed system is a real-time control and monitoring system that can access on-line the status of consumable devices in the workplace via the internet and prioritise the critically high location that need replenishing. The system dynamically updates the status of all location, such as first aid boxes, earplug dispensers and fire extinguishers. Simulation results of the proposed system gives shorter path, time and cost in comparison to manual maintenance systems.

For most construction projects, the complex engineering environment, the backward data collection technology, and the unreasonable monitoring network have resulted in many problems in monitoring data such as lots of noise and missing data items, therefore, it is of great significance to study the safety monitoring system of construction projects based on wireless sensor network (WSN). For this reason, this paper proposed a construction safety monitoring and evaluation (CSME) model based on multi-sensor fusion. First, the system structure and data flow model of the construction safety monitoring system were constructed; then, combining with a multi-sensor deep fusion system which was built on physical and information systems, this paper designed a spectrum sensing algorithm for sensor signals within the construction area. After that, tempo-spatial correlation analysis was conducted on the monitoring data, and a multi-sensor monitoring network joint sparse (MSMN-JS) model was constructed, which realized reconstruction of missing data items. At last, this paper used experimental results to prove the application value of the algorithm model to the safety monitoring and evaluation of construction projects.
