Description
On 3rd June 2015, the Ghana Oil Limited (GOIL) fuel filling station at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, near the Ghana Commercial Bank Towers in Accra was destroyed by fire during heavy flooding in the capital. The fire gutted the entire station including all the employees who worked at the station. Though one could have attributed the sad incident to the rains, there are frequently asked questions about the health and safety of the employees, whether the company adhere to occupational health and safety principles for their employees, as well as whether there are
welfare supports services for the employees amongst others. With respects to accidents, the oil industry appears to disregard that fact that they happened. These studies examined examine the effectiveness of health and safety on employees within the oil and gas industry, considering the case of GOIL. Survey design was used in this study and adopted the quantitative research approach. Forty (40) questionnaires were distributed to respondents selected for the study through convenience sampling technique. The researcher used structured questionnaires to collect data. Microsoft Excel was used in analyzing the data collected. It was found out that using protective clothing, prompt reporting of accidents/injuries and re-training on safety and
health practices were the level of awareness of health and safety programmes in the organization. In addition to this, employees were required to put on protective clothing in the performance of their duties. It was recommended that management effort in providing safe work environment through maintenance of effective health and safety system, goes a long way in satisfying
worker’s safety needs, and capable of motivating them. Effective workplace health and safety practices can help to save the lives of workers by reducing hazards and their consequences.
