NEED FOR EFFECTIVE SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN A MANUFACTURING FIRM
ABSTRACT
This study looks into the Need for Effective Safety Management in a Manufacturing Firm, with reference to star paper mill limited Aba, Abia state.
The literature review highlights the importance of safety and its contributions.
The methodology used in exploratory and conclusion, research technique when finds or defines the problem.
Other techniques like personally interview and observations were also used.
It is found in the organisation that summary emphasis are not professionally qualified and therefore can not contend with the complexities, techniques and challenges. Recommendations that the employees should be exposed to safety manuals and policies for effective performance and profitability.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Safety plays a vital role in the life of man and its environment in the sense that it is the conduct one has to adopt to arrive peacefully in all type of work despite the nature of the work and activity being carried out. Safety should be considered the priority.
Going through the need for effective safety management in a manufacturing firm, many organisation has to two managerial skills and experiments on safety while others does not observe anything about safety. It could be anything that only multinational organisations observe the standard rate of safety system. Moving a little bit, safety does not exist only on the body of working staff or personnel which when neglected can cause accidents, lost of lives and properties.
As noted by Nigeria institute of safety professionals (2009:1) effective safety management improves occupational methods and procedures leading to increased safety, environmental conservation, health security and welfare among employees and employers in an industry.
Organisation can equally se it as quality management system for managing risk within the organisations to ensure the protection of its people, assets, reputation and protection of the environment in which the organisation is situated. This goes a long way to protect the lives and property of the habitat of the environment.
Having considered this background we step more to ascertain the need or impact which could result positively if adequate safety is maintained in a manufacturing firm that encourages us to make reference to star paper mill limited Aba, Abia state, this is a manufacturing firm tat deals with the manufacturing and printing of papers and related issues like tissue papers and printing materials.
1.2 Statement of Problems
- Organisation: has failed to make adequate use of safety materials.
