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.

Descriptive Survey

Background: Despite the available research findings, recommendations and the South African Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) (Act 85 of 1993), there are still challenges with regard to the implementation of selected sections and regulations of the OHSA. This is evidenced by the occupational injuries and illness claims registered with the compensation fund (South Africa, Department of Labour 1993).Objectives: To determine the extent to which the OHSA was implemented at an academic hospital in Johannesburg, from the senior professional nurses and nursing managers’ perspective, and to describe recommendations in order to facilitate the implementation of the Act.Methods: A contextual, quantitative, exploratory and descriptive survey was conducted. A purposive sampling method was used to select the participants that met the inclusion criteria. A structured Likert-scale questionnaire was used to collect data (Brink 2011). Stata version 12 was used to analyse the data. Cronbach’s alpha, with a cut-off point of 0.7 was used to test for internal consistency. Ethical considerations were strictly adhered to. Results are presented in the form of graphs, frequency distributions and tables.Results: The study revealed that overall there is 93.3% non-implementation of the selected sections and regulations of the OHSA. These results have serious implications on the health and safety of employees in the workplace.Conclusion: The study recommends that the replication of the study should be conducted in order to determine the extent of implementation of the selected sections and regulations of the OHSA in other government institutions.

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.

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
