ANSWER:

The Death rate reaches 2.3 million around the world every year due to work related injuries and incidents as per the ILO states. In 2004 WHO estimated 4.9 millions fatalities were recorded due to chemical exposure. ILO conventions C155 and recommendations R164 is meant for the enforcement of moral duties of employers towards the worker and vice versa.​
​
In this organization Health & Safety culture is seen on top priority due to which the company has high reputation and other companies are setting them an example to achieve safe work culture. Since the safety culture is at par the management sets the objective and attain them by continuous monitoring process which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of all including Management to worker level.

Due to the severity of the problem the company has set the world class health and safety culture which benefits them in several ways. They are setting a trend of positive safety culture which is inspiring other industries in similar business with the concept of bench-marking. Management firmly believe in setting objective and achieving them by SMART techniques through which they are maintaining their name. They clearly assigned task and record responsibilities of the individual worker which boost the morale of the workers make them work with the company for long duration with a promising improvement in their work which resulting in the growth of their competency. Absenteeism and sickness rates is low which is a positive safety culture indicator, this results in less staff turnover. The health and safety management arrangements are in place as the companies incidents and accidents rates are very low and they don’t fail to investigate near misses in order to take necessary precautions.

Effective communication is present in the organization through which workers concerns are noticed and Customer complaints are responded professionally. Internal audits are very frequently done in the organization and they are also following external audits.

 

Therefore the health and safety moral in the organization is on high scale
