Research Problem: In Abu Dhabi, limited implementation of OSH Regulations contributes to the general unawareness among employees and workers about occupational hazards and safety measures, resulting in slow responsiveness toward enforcement measures and a lack of self-regulatory approaches within companies. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation methods practised in Abu Dhabi with those in developed countries with established OSH regulatory bodies. Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed to gather primary research data. Workers from various industries in Abu Dhabi were sampled on purpose and asked to respond to questionnaires and interviews on OSH protocol awareness and implementation, and circumstances of workplace incidence. Results: The findings of this study showed that the enforcement of OSH requirements in UAE positively correlated to a reduction in the rate of workrelated injury and improved business performance. The quantitative research data showed that the energy sector had the highest score (15) while the tourism sector had the lowest score (5.3) in occupational health systems and improvements in business efficiency and productivity. Implications: The outcomes of this study shed light on the importance of implementing OSH Guidelines for companies to empower their safety managers to fully enforce OSH requirements in their organisations. In conclusion, effective OSH enforcement requires cooperation between general workers and OSH managers and facilitation from business owners.

“…6 Another aim of safety communication is making sure that everyone comprehends their roles and responsibilities concerning OSH, regardless of the safety managers play significant roles in ensuring all stakeholders are fully informed about OSH policies, practices, concerns, and other information. 4,7 It is revealed that OSH communication mediates the association between safety culture and safety performance partially. 8 However, as mentioned earlier, accidents still happened due to the ineffectiveness of OSH communication.…”

Introduction: Miscommunication can cause accidents in workplaces due to the ineffective occupational safety and health (OSH) communication. There are many factors of ineffective OSH communication, one of which is the language barriers. Thus, this research aims to unveil the types of language barriers and its relation to the effectivity of OSH communication in Indonesia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional approach using a structured questionnaire was done in this research. The structured questionnaire survey was done among 102 workers in PT ABC, Indonesia. Spearman rho, a dedicated form of Pearson r, was used to determine the correlation between language barriers and effective OSH communication. Results: All of the types of language barriers except vernacular correlate positively, strongly and significantly to the effectivity of OSH communication (0.50 ≤ r ≤ 0.699, p-value < 0.05). Vernacular correlate positively, moderately, and significantly to the effectivity of OSH communication (r 0.497, p-value < 0.05). Conclusions: Based on the findings, OSH communication should be communicated accurately, clearly, and concisely in the language that everyone can understand.

Occupational health and safety management system is a system used to manage Occupational Health and Safety. The implementation of OHSMS aims to create a work environment that is free from harm or illness due to work. However, along with the development of OHS, it is not accompanied by an increase in OHS performance. It can be seen form several studies that there is no difference in OHS performance between certified and non-certified companies. Many factors affect the effectiveness of OHSMS implementation. The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influence the effectiveness of the implementation of OHSMS through a systematical literature review. This study reviewed articles published between 2010 – 2020 from 4 search portals, namely: Scopus, Proquest, Science Direct, and Sage. From the result of literature search, there were 40 articles that met the criteria. The results of this study indicate that there are internal and external factors that affect the effectiveness of OHSMS implementation. Internal factors that influence the effectiveness of OHSMS implementation are management commitment, OHS leadership and policies, employee participation, OHS culture, employee morale, sufficient resources, financial performance, OHS cost allocation, company size, internal incentives, worker safety behavior, communication and consultation OHS, OHS rules and procedures, OHS promotion, integration, continuous improvement, the process of identifying hazards and risk reduction, developing and implementing OHS risk control strategies. Meanwhile, external factors include enforcement of OHS regulations, OHS support and authority, external audit certification, external incentives, pressure from customers, market competition, company image, and international trends.
