| dc.description.abstract | As old as the existence of mankind, waste management forms the foundation on which a nation can effectively and efficiently explore the available human and natural resources across all sectors of its economy to ensure socio-economic growth and development. Consequently, waste management firms strive to achieve optimal and competitive project performance by maintaining cost leadership, operational efficiency, overall supply chain profitability, customer satisfaction, and environmental sustainability. A critical aspect of achieving optimal waste management project performance is health, safety, and environment record keeping. Meanwhile, HSE record keeping is often overlooked or worse still conducted improperly with no project management strategy as the basis. The study sought to unravel health, safety, and environment (HSE) record keeping practices of Zoomlion Ghana Limited at Ho, on projects in the waste management industry and recommend strategies for improvement. By applying the Purposive Sampling approach, Semi-structured interviews and questionnaire administration, the research collected data from 6 heads of department, 36 core staff, 43 project staff and 1 regional manager. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Software and Excel spreadsheets were applied in analyzing the data collected and enhanced with frequencies and graphs. It was revealed that HSE record-keeping practices were generally very important. HSE recordkeeping policy framework is particularly lacking. Best HSE record keeping practices being deployed includes corrective implementation measures, using that of governmentapproved record keeping practice regulations, training procedures and financial budgetary allocation, expenditure, and losses from HSE practice. The dominant type of HSE records kept by the organization was on environment impact compliance measures followed by financial losses and their causal factors and accident records and related investigation outcomes. Negative impact of HSE record keeping practices on employees are lateness to work, absenteeism, lack of innovation positive outcome experienced at Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Ho. Positive impacts of HSE record-keeping practices however identified were improved management and leadership skills, increase project success, and efficient communication. To rectify the lapses in the waste management industry, firms must adopt an HSE record keeping management engineering model that would ensure a seamless management of HSE data entered at all levels across the organization by employees in real-time. | en_US |
