However, there appears to be some gradual improvement in awareness and practice. This part of this research work is meant to examine and describe the law as it relates to health and safety at work 3. FindingsResearch Questions Analysis This part of the study presents the response of the HER of Prime aluminum on safety health and security policies distributed questionnaires and as obtained from the interview How do gage policy, health and safety help with strategic decision making? Pushup Strategic decision making is all about risk management. Getting the right information on Security policy, health and safety improves the chances of success, and helps to prevent accidents which every business needs to do because accidents are so costly, in all sorts of shipway that many organizations do not realize before one occurs including Prime . He goal of the company is to focus on health of all the employees so as to get employers w ho are fit to do the Job. For example we had an employee who was injured where he was working in the site. He was a very potential employer but due to less safety we lost him. Thus we are now struggling to get one who did such a great Job which is cost us a lot. What is the perception of the employees on health and safety issues and policies? Pushup This part of this research work is meant to examine and describe the law as it relates to health and safety at work.By law, employers have to comfort employees health, safety and welfare at work. They have to make sure the workplace is safe and without risk to health. As part of this duty, employers must 1. Keep dust, fumes and noise under control 2. Make sure that plant and machinery are safe and regularly maintained, and that the systems used in the workplace are safe 3. Provide protective clothing where necessary 4. Report certain diseases and injuries to the relevant authority 5.Provide adequate first aid equipment and facilities At sites where soggy machinery are being used it is certain that the level is higher cause of the mechanical movement of parts of such machinery and therefore for the employee that will be observe or operating such machinery will be exposed to accidents. In a case like this, it should be known that the level of safety that will be provided will be much more than that of a site where ordinary hand tools are been used.Based on the above, we now understand that the level of safety device and Health protection will be higher nowadays because of the rapid mechanization of the manufacturing industry and the accidents that may occur will definitely be more fatal elicits. Do health and safety career problems actually reach the top and directors? Pushup Health and safety is one crucial element of the pleat of skills, along with finance, marketing and human resources, for example. It is becoming increasingly important because this could cost the firm a lot. UT in most cases the top director s are unuttered to reach because they are usually out of own doing business and it gets difficult for the HER to focus both on the workers at the sites and at the office. But these problems are normally taken care of at the end of the day. Could you give some examples of the biggest safety risks being faced by leaders? Pushup employees undoubtedly face their biggest risks term campaign for work. There is a very personal effect on individual directors a director cease set an appropriate example or an inappropriate one.For example, if they speed to reach yet an otherwise meeting, or if they work long hours and drive a long way home after draining meetings. Directors have the juristic responsibility if things go wrong and police will prosecute if, for example, a driver falls asleep at the wheel because of an over-long working day. What can they do about it other than set an example? Pushup One of Prime aluminums key issues is the management of occupational road risk driving fo r work which is why we offer a full range of solutions which can be targeted at those deemed to be the highest risk.These range from consultancy to driver training, and also computer-based driver risk assessments, which can be the cheapest, but most effective, way to start. What comes after that? Pushup Consider again the director who is a keen motorcyclist if he or she suffers an accident it could bring the business to its knees From Prime aluminums work with its key major award winners we know that one in five accidents occurs in the home or enchantment at leisure, so if we can reduce those, then the negative cost that accidents cause the workplace can be greatly reduced as well. What sort of training is available to directors?Pushup Because directors have limited time available they will often not be able to go on pre-scheduled safety training courses. Prime aluminum addresses this through two routes Conferences, where directors can network and key new developments can be high lighted by top speakers such as leading personal injury arresters and FETES 100 leading company case studies given by their chief executives Tailored consultancy and in-company safety training means that companies can have a day or two of intensifier focus on health and safety which is exactly right for their business.All of these options make directors aware of their legal duties and responsibilities, as well as the nest egg they could make if safety is properly managed, and the positive benefits of doing it properly. 4. 0 Challenges and solutions at Prime Aluminum Ltd security of his employees.

Safety refers to the act of p rotect the physical well-being of an employee. It will include the risk of accidents caused due to machinery, fire or diseases. Security refers to protecting facilities and equipments from unauthorized access and protecting employees while they are on work.According to Folia, & et al (1993), asserted that a proper understanding of the various work situations in manufacturing, textile, mining, construction and other labor intensive industries reveal that workers are exposed to hazards. These include physical contact with poisons, dust inhalation, exposure to organic and inorganic chemicals, extreme temperatures of hot or cold, accidents, injuries, falls, burns and scalds, other dangers and sudden death.

The government has in recent time enacted laws regulating the labor market and it has also been revised to promote healthier labor relations, appropriate working conditions, equity in the workplace and improved skills.Improved working conditions are necessary to ensure higher labor productivity, better quality work, healthier Barbour relations and compliance with quality standards.
