| Summary: | Each organisation should track occupational safety and health (OSH) performance to
ensure that safety and health regulations are being followed and employers can
address OSH concerns before they become a serious issue that affects everyone in
the organisation. The purpose of this research is to build a framework for managing
occupational safety and health performance based on Edgar Schein's organisational
culture model and system theory of accident causation. This is a quantitative research
study that utilises a questionnaire and is built based on the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA) of 1994, ISO 45001:2018, and pertinent literature reviews. Eight
industrial and academic specialists evaluated the questionnaire. The study employs
purposive sampling of OSH competent individuals and OSH practitioners from
companies covered by Schedule 1 OSHA 1994. The analysis included a total of 300
respondents. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) version 23 and the Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17 were used for data analysis,
which included correlation, regression, and goodness of fit tests. The findings
indicated that OSH leadership, support for OSH management, a risk reduction
programme, and employees' OSH values all had a positive correlation with OSH
performance. Additionally, mediators in the OSH performance management
framework included OSH management support and risk reduction programmes,
while the availability of OSH management systems acted as a moderator. Thus, the
research successfully developed an OSH performance management framework that
included seven OSH values and was transformed into an OSH balanced scorecard to
enable employers to self-regulate OSH practises; achieve the preventive culture
envisioned in the OSH Master Plan 2020; and embrace business sustainability. |
