OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH BREWING AND BOTTLING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
摘要
As developing countries such as Nigeria continue to undergo industrialization, the health care and safety of the employees on whom the success of such processes depends becomes salient. Occupational health and safety continues to receive attention from organizations' management and the State through its regulatory machinery. This has led to increased interest in developing binding regulations and minimum Health and Safety requirements in the key industries of the Nigerian economy which the food and beverages industry is among. The paper thus aims to identify the inherent hazards associated with the brewing and bottling business of the Food and Beverage industry in Nigeria by eliciting information from experienced employees in the industry using in-depth interviewing. Thematic content analysis was used for qualitative data collected with the 4 major themes explored being frequency and likelihood of hazard, the severity of effects, category in terms of being chronic or acute, and hazard class. It was found that certain physical, chemical, ergonomic, and psychosocial high-severity hazards are prevalent in the sector, along with some moderate and low-level severity hazards. Therefore, organizations in the sector need to run proactive safety programs and have actionable, practical preventive measures in place to drop incident rates and improve employee well-being and job satisfaction levels.
