Background

Accidents commonly occur in organizational operations, particularly in many manufacturing companies. There are certain recognized factors which affect the occurrence of accidents. The factors most consistently associated with job related injuries include: environment, mood among workers, employee selection practice, types of work procedures, role clarity, and job satisfaction & stress (Personnel, 1991). In a similar study, (Sherry, 1992) identified five major factors related to potential causes of accidents, i.e. psychological, environmental, ergonomic, physical, and stress.

Safety is the condition of a “steady state” of an organization or place doing what it is supposed to do. “What it is supposed to do” is defined in terms of public codes and standards, associated architectural and engineering designs, corporate vision and mission statements, and operational plans and personnel policies. For any organization, place, or function, large or small, safety is a normative concept. It complies with situation-specific definitions of what is expected and acceptable.( Charles G. Oakes, 2009)
