On Occupational Safety And Health
Management Perception
• A health care facility is a workplace as well as
a place for receiving and giving care. Health
care facilities around the world employ over
59 million workers who are exposed to a 59 million workers who are exposed to a
complex variety of health and safety hazards
everyday (WHO)
![Page 8: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prevention of Occupational Injuries
• Prevention of occupational injuries among the
healthcare workforce is vital to provide quality
patient service, improve morale, and enhance
productivity by reducing time-loss and other productivity by reducing time-loss and other
absenteesim (Alamgir H et al., 2007)
![Page 9: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• In recent years attention has been paid to the occupational risks and injuries of nurses - injuries and resultant compensation to workers are expensive
• United States - nurses’ back injuries are estimated • United States - nurses’ back injuries are estimated to cost US$6 million in indemnity and medical payment comprising 56% of all indemity costs and 55.1% of all medical cost
• In an Australian state - nurses’ back injury claims accounted for A$2.39 million expenditure in one financial year (Dawson, 2007)
![Page 10: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Job satisfaction important component of nurses' lives.
• Impacts on:
– patient safety,
– staff morale,
– productivity, – productivity,
– performance,
– quality of care,
– retention and turnover,
– and commitment to the organisation
(Stone, 2004)
![Page 11: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• An online health and safety survey by the American Nurses Association showed majority of the nurses surveyed indicated that perception on working conditions interfered with their ability to deliver quality care deliver quality care
• These respondents also reported that health and safety concerns influenced their decisions about the kind of nursing work performed and their continued practice in the field of nursing. In addition, the perception of unsafe working conditions may hinder recruitment and retention of qualified staff (Stone et al., 2004)
![Page 12: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Perception on Safety & Health Issues
• Important to gauge how the healthcare
workers perceive the issues on safety and
health in their workplace. Evidences show that
stress related to increased workload and stress related to increased workload and
staffing patterns, including shift work, can and
does contribute to illness and injury in the
nurse population (Brown, et al., 2006)
![Page 13: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The impact of these events is of concern not
only in terms of the health risk to workers, but
also the effects on quality and safety of
patient care as well as patient and family patient care as well as patient and family
satisfaction (Rathert, 2007)
• Increasing work pressure results in decrease
in morale and productivity of nurses was also
found (Cavanagh et al., 1992)
![Page 14: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Monitoring nurses' working conditions and
improving the organizational climate of
hospitals is likely to improve the safety of the
employee and the profitability of the hospital employee and the profitability of the hospital
through improved system outcomes (such as
lower turnover of the employees) as well as
improve the quality of patient care delivered (Stone et al., 2006)

• Like nurses in other countries, they are
exposed to many occupational-related safety
and health problems
• Sabah State Health Department in 2000 - the • Sabah State Health Department in 2000 - the
highest percentage (74.5%) of needle stick
injury were among nurses (Lim, 2004)

• Fukuda et al. (2010) noted that incidence of
work related injury (WRI) among hospital
workers are highest among nurses.
• Risks of other injuries including back pain • Risks of other injuries including back pain
(Hofmann et all., 2002) and back injury
(Department Of Statistics Malaysia, 2009) is
shown to be higher in nurses as compared to
other professions.

Discussion
• This study revealed that training andcompetence (4.04 ± 0.65) was perceived asthe most important component of theirworkplace OSH practice.
• Followed by safety rules and reporting (3.70 ±0.63), while safety incidence was had thelowest score (1.70 ± 0.68).
![Page 37: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Training and Competence
A reflection of active OSH programmepromotion and training in Sabah
– Training is important as employees who receive safety training suffer fewer work-receive safety training suffer fewer work-related injuries than their untrained counterparts (Colligen et al. ,2004),
–Allows employees to acquire greater competencies to control work, and perform jobs more safely (Barling et al., 2009).
![Page 38: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Pearson’s correlation analysis results indicated
that all OHS elements had positive correlation
with safety satisfaction and safety feedback
except safety incidence. except safety incidence.
• Perception on safety incidence was low which
reflects that the OHS mangement was
satisfactory.
![Page 39: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Safety satisfaction mean score 3.28 ± 0.51
• Safety feedback mean score 3.57 ± 0.73
Safety Satisfaction and Feedback
![Page 40: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• Interesting to note that management
committment was found to have no significant
correlation between most of the other
elements of OHS mangement, except for:
i. Safety Satisfactioni. Safety Satisfaction
ii. Safety Communication
iii. Work Pressure
iv. Safety Responsibility
![Page 41: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Incongruent with Nor Azimah et al.’s (2009) study.
• Possible explanation was that the respondents
did not think the role of management should be
the determining factors that influenced their
knowledge and competence in occupational
health and safety. health and safety.
• The need to improve and protect themselves and
establishing safety culture could be in placed as
part of their intrinsic needs, rather than as
extrinsic needs enforced by the management.
![Page 42: Perception On OSH anagement Among Hospital Staff & Nurses In SSHD by Dr Nelbon Giloi](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/554c27c3b4c905191f8b48c8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Another possibility of this finding could be
related to the role of management in
implementing the rules and regulations
pertaining to safety at work and establishment pertaining to safety at work and establishment
of safety culture within the organization were
unclear, thus, respondents did not perceived
management commitment as important.

Study Limitation
• The study used a set of self administered questionnaires enquiring specific questions on perceptions regarding safety and health issues during the past one year
• Subjected to respondent’s recall and reporting bias bias
• Lacks generallization
• As it was a preliminary study, further study with bigger sample involving other categories of hospital staff from different health care setting are needed to give better insight into OHS management as well as providing information for better OHS implementation.
