Abstract
An organization becomes significantly effective by reducing the rates and severity of occupational accidents, diseases, workplace violence, stress related illnesses through availability of safety and health measures or schemes since the workplace depends on its employees as working partners and fellow members of the organization community. This in turn improves the quality of employees’ work performance in the organization. The study therefore seeks to ascertain the influence of health and safety schemes on employees’ work performance in Kam Wire Industry, Ilorin in Kwara - State. This was with the population of 318 and the sample size of 177 which was determined with the use of Taro Yamane’s formula. Simple random sampling technique was employed for the study with the utilization of structured questionnaire to elicit the needed information from the respondents. The descriptive statistics
used comprised simple percentages and tables, while inferential statistics utilized were multiples regressions. The findings of the study showed that staff of Kam Wire Industry could effectively and easily assess the company’s occupational health and safety measures. The findings of the study pointed out further that there is a significant effect of industrial health and safety measures on employees’ work performance in the industry (R2 =.148; F= 16.413, p < 0.05).
