| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in Kiegoi Tea Factory. A total of 60 respondents who were drawn from all departments were selected to participate in the study. The study findings showed that the factory did not have an up to date Health and Safety Measures system. During the study it was revealed that there existed unsafe and unhealthy conditions and practices in the factory that contributed too many accidents and injuries to the employees. Most of the respondents affirmed that they would be impressed by a management that enforces Health and Safety Measures through Policies, procedures and communication structures. 75 % felt that the organization was unsafe and unhealthy while 70% felt the organization did not prioritize Health and Safety in the factory against 30% and 25% respectively. They also, within the above percentage margin, believe that Health and Safety has a great impact on employee performance and productivity of the organization. All the 60 respondents (100%) answered that unsafe and unhealthy conditions and practices have a negative impact on employee performance and productivity. The respondents said the management was slow to act on reports about accidents and unsafe conditions and practices as shown by 67% affirmative answers against 33% negative answers. According to the findings therefore Health and Safety Measures have direct impact on employee performance and should be enhanced to through drafting and enforcement of Health and safety policies and regulations. This will go along way to reduce the accidents and injuries, and consequent indirect costs of the same. | en_US |
