ABSTRACT
The effects of safety performance on productivity of
manufacturing industries in Nigeria were studied. Twenty manufacturing
industries of which ten were large manufacturing industries and the remaining
ten small manufacturing industries were sampled, and the relationship of their
productivity and industrial accidents on employees between 2012 and 2016 were
also studied. It was observed that large manufacturing industries tend to
suffer more on this issue since most of them have zero tolerance for idle time during
production process. It was observed that
average level of safety compliance among the small manufacturing industries is
at 55.5%, while the average level of
safety compliance among the large manufacturing industries is at 70.3%. It was
further observed that there is no sequential effect of these industrial
accidents on productivity, but the management of such accidents explains how
severe its effect can be on the productivity of these manufacturing industries.
Descriptive statistical tools were used to
compare the effects of accidents on productivity, and It was also observed that the average of the
productivity/industrials accidents on employees in the large manufacturing
industries were 7.9%/19 for NBC, 2.6%/4 for CNL, 5.3%/29 for NSS, 20.2%/13 for PBMN,
7.9%/27 for 7UP, 6.7%/22 for TNL, 7.9%/10 for ANL, 5.3%/2 for ICL, 7.9%/24 for
GEOKER and 7.9%/21 for STALLION, while that of the small manufacturing
industries were 5.6%/5 for SINACH, 4.4%/3 PVN, 4.4%/3 for ONYX, 5.6%/2 for
BONSAC, 6.7%/4 for FPS, 6.4%/4 for S.Y. ABED, 4.8%/6 for NASON, 5.6%/3 for
DOZA, 4.4%/6 for MAFO and 6.4%/2 for BEST BIE. Therefore, management of these
manufacturing industries should be enlightened on the need for proper
industrial accident management since industrial accidents are inevitable.
