| dc.description.abstract | According to the ILO and WHO estimates, every year, more than 12 million people die of workplace related diseases and accidents. Most African nations are battling with safety and health practices as few endeavors from the companies and the governments are remarkable. The study assessed the level of compliance with health and safety standards on Anglo-Gold Ashanti Projects. With respect to the health and safety standards at Anglo-gold Ashanti, the study revealed that provision of safe workplace, provision of adequate equipment, materials and personal protective equipment (PPEs) to enable employees to carry out their work safely, provision of notices on all health and safety measures to the workers, organization of safety induction, orientation and refresher courses by my organization at the workplace, safety assurance by fellow workers were the common standards found at Anglo-gold Ashanti. The study further discovered that the level of compliance was moderate due to compliance to the following standards: the organization makes sure that they are not subjected to any unreasonable risks in the workplace; the organization conducts periodic reviews to assess health and safety standards in the work place, whether inspections at the workplace in relation to health and safety are conducted by both the trained management and representatives from the employees and there is an effective incident reporting procedure that is known by employees.With the findings of the study in mind, it is recommended that education should be done on the regular usage of the safety materials at the workplace. The study further suggests that fire drills should be conducted periodically at the workplace to check for emergency responses and preparedness of the workers and systems. | en_US |
