Abstract

Introduction: Medium-sized firms around the world are confronted with several challenges which have continued to hamper their growth chances. One of these issues is lack of global best practices in health and safety. This issue is pronounced among medium-sized manufacturing firms in Nigeria. It was against this backdrop that the study investigated the state of health and safety issues in selected Nigerian medium-sized manufacturing firms. Methods: Survey research design was adopted involving leading medium-sized manufacturing firms in Nigeria. Issues pertaining to health and safety were identified and analyzed. Data were gathered through administration of structured questionnaire and observation check list. Analyses were presented through appropriate statistical means. Results: Relatively secured work environment, workers’ exposure to hazard, absence and inadequate protective devices for workers, archaic fire system infrastructure, lack of insurance cover for workers, irregular health and safety training, inconsistent compliance to health and safety rules were found as the issues in selected Nigerian medium-sized manufacturing firms operating in Nigeria. Conclusion: Health and safety issues is a cog in the wheel of Nigerian medium-sized manufacturing firms. It is imperative to address this issue to strengthen the operations of the industry. The promotion and practice of hygienic health system and safety culture by workers and management must be the way of life in manufacturing firms.

Abstract

Introduction: Health status of an individual in paid employment is a function of many factors such as workplace settings, furniture, work design and tools used at work, among others. Based on this position, this study examined how work-related musculoskeletal disorders through workplace ergonomics determine non-teaching staff healthy living, and how each of the selected work-related musculoskeletal disorders caused by defective workplace ergonomics contributes to healthy living. Methods: This study was conducted among the non-teaching staff of selected public universities in south west Nigeria through quantitative approach that made use of descriptive research design with the use of structured questionnaire administered to collect data and both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data collected. Results: The study revealed that specific work-related musculoskeletal disorders caused by defective workplace ergonomics were of negative effect on non-teaching staff healthy living while others were not. Also, specific work-related musculoskeletal disorders (back pains and eyes dysfunctionality) examined against non-teaching staff healthy living were found to be detrimental to their health status while muscular pains, fracture, neck injuries, hand-arm vibration and bruises were of insignificant effect on the non-teaching staff healthy living. Conclusion: The study concludes that work-related musculoskeletal disorders through workplace ergonomics is an issue that management of universities should be mindful of to ensure staff healthy living as this is critical to job performance.
