Abstract

Workplace accidents in Malaysia are on the rise with 59,897 cases reported to Social Security Organisation (Socso) in 2011, 3.77 per cent higher than the 57,639 cases in 2010. Of the 59,897 cases, 58 per cent were industrial accidents while the rest while commuting. Research on the connection between occupational safety and health (OSH) and increasing employee productivity and performance has become topical as a result of increased interest in identity ways to improve 'performance' in the workplace. Occupational health and safety academics have also recognised the social benefits of introducing improved health and safety standards. This paper aims at identifying the best Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) practices that are adopted by Rhom Wako Sdn. Bhd. to reinforce the firm’s performance and increase production. It attempts to address issues impacting the workforce at Rhom Wako Sdn. Bhd with its OSH program, integrating occupational health and safety protection with health promotion. The study will be conducted using structured self-administered questionnaires conducted for a period four months from January until April 2014. Data collected will be analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. The findings from this research will provide for guidelines and action plans in enhancing the firm’s operational strategy implementation, and strategic resource allocation mechanisms in reinforcing its performance and increase production by incorporating the best OSH practices into a more comprehensive safety and health managements system.
