“…This could be seen in the construction industry, aviation, maritime, medical sector and road transport to name a few (Reiman and Rollenhagen, 2014). Presently, safety culture at the workplace had been recognised as one of the foremost contributing factors to near misses, accidents and injuries (Amirah et al, 2013). Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the organisation to foster positive workplace safety culture through a good communicative mechanism system so that there are minimal workplace injuries and other related mishaps.…”

Workplace safety communication plays an integral role in the day to day running of any organisation. The policies and procedures tend to provide a worker with the highest level of performance that is expected in terms of the output. Effective communication mechanisms are highly critical to ascertain the level of safety measures in order to achieve support and cooperation in maintaining an injury-free working milieu. Hence, communicative language mechanisms are needed to complement the technical and practical safety of all the workers. Unambiguous constructive safety communication mechanisms will lead to an improvement towards knowledge and fathoming of preventative measures that would enhance workplace safety practices. Thus, this study sought to highlight the occupational health and safety communicative language mechanisms, whereby the examples to illustrate the variety of safety communication has been analysed from a case study. The output of the research states that communicative language mechanisms in occupational health and safety (OHS), health and safety environment (HSE) tend to provide a better working environment, which can be considered as a conducive tool to avoid unwanted injuries and also to comprehend complicated occupational health and safety technical jargons.

“…Smoking as a stimulant, to experience the positive affect of great enthusiasm, and smoking as a relaxant, to experience the positive affect of enjoyment [24]. The latter occurs in those individuals who characteristically smoke under pleasant circumstances which are relaxing such as at the end of a meal, or in the midst of a pleasant conversation [25]. The stimulant type of smoking occurs whenever smoking is used to give the person a rise from the positive affect of great enthusiasm as when an adolescent smokes to establish his manhood or his coming of age, or to against his parents, or when an adult smokes for the great enthusiasm of something to do.…”

A total of 863 respondents consist of 302 male (age 21.2 ± 0.56 year) and 562 female (age 20.9 ± 0.66 year) were participated in this study. They were asked to complete a Short-Form Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (S-SCQ) in this study. The result showed female adolescence reported significantly higher discontentment rate (negative perception) for smoking compared to male. There are all four factors were affected on smoking perception relative gender included negative consequence (z=-6.321, p<0.0001), positive reinforcement (z=- 8.110, p<0.0001), negative reinforcement (z=-7.584, p<0.0001) and appetite-weight control factor (z=-6.142, p<0.0001). Female tend to have negative perception on smoking behavior compared to male that encourage the higher number of male smoker than female adolescents.
