Occupational Safety Contributes to Work Motivation

Abstract

Safety has gained its popularity in recent years in this country due to the awareness of its importance. However the cost of implementing safety has always been a major hindrance for its implementation. The objectives of this write–up is to explore the connection between occupational safety & work motivation. Some of the famous motivation theories such as need theory; safety theory such as Heinrich’s Dominos Theory and Behavioural Based Safety approach will be discussed and argued. Established relationship between safety and motivation and implementation of safety using behavioural based safety will be analysed further. This is hoped to open up the eyes of the employers to take up safety as their investments and not charging them as cost. Higher work motivation will definitely boost the production output which is the main concern of the management.
