Abstract
The purpose of this study were to: (a) examine the antecedences of adoption of the
OHSAS 18001 management system, (b) the effects of the consequences of the
adoption of the OHSAS management system and (c) to investigate the moderating
effects of the working condition (high risk/ low risk industries) as a moderating
effects on the antecedences of the OHSAS 18001 management system. Antecedences
adoption of the OHSAS consists of 8 dimensions namely management commitment,
enforcement of rules and regulation, worker involvement, safety and health training,
worksite analysis, motivation incentive recognition and accountability, pressure from
production and workplace and supportive environment and consequences of adoption
of the OHSAS management consists of 4 dimensions namely effective accident I
incident, near miss case reporting, effective corrective and preventative action,
effective communication and constant feedback arid effective hazard prevention and
control. Three broadly hypnotized relationships were tested using a sample of 411
OHSAS certified companies. From the analysis done using the regressions, it shows
that antecedences factors namely management commitment, enforcement of rules and
regulation, worksite analysis, motivation incentive recognition and accountability
were found to be positive associated with the adoption of the OHSAS management
system. An implication of the adoption of the OHSAS management system has
positive effects on consequences namely accident or incident and near miss case
reporting, effective corrective and preventive action, effective communication and
constant feedback and effective hazards prevention and control on the adoption of the
OHSAS management system. However, working condition strengthen the relationship
between management commitment and worker involvement during the adoption of
the OHSAS management system.
