Impact Of Safety Climate On Safety Behavior Of Employee Study Of Manufacturing Unit

Abstract

Goals of occupational safety and health programmes include fostering a safe and healthy work environment. OSH may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers and many others who might be affected by workplace environment. In the United States the term occupational health and safety is referred to as occupational health and occupational and non- occupational safety and includes safety for activities outside work. In common-law jurisdictions, employers have a common law duty to take reasonable care for the safety of their employees. Statute law may build upon this to impose additional general duties, introduce specific duties and create government bodies with powers to regulate workplace safety issues.

Organizations and working cultures which support health and safety at work also promote a positive social climate and smooth operation in the process and enhance productivity of undertakings. The concept of working culture is intended in this context to mean a reflection of the essential value systems adopted by the undertaking concerned. Such a culture is reflected in practice in the managerial systems, personnel policies, and principles for participation, training policies and quality management of the undertaking.
