Occupational Health and Safety Challenges Faced National Disaster Management Personnel
Journal Title: American Journal of Arts and Human Science (AJAHS) - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to look into how health and safety concerns affect the job performance of National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) personnel in the Bono Region. Hazards, poor training, and psychological well-being are significant factors determining the efficiency of disaster response activities in the study. The study adopts a descriptive (case study) research design, emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive plan to solve these difficulties. The target population consists of 127 people from the municipal offices of Sunyani East, Wenchi, and Berekum. Purposive and simple random sampling selects 75 respondents from various departments and units. Self-administered questionnaires containing open-ended and closed-ended items are used to collect data. The data suggest that health concerns may have an impact on coworkers’ job performance among those who have had accidents. However, statistical significance is weak. Positive management relationships following fatal accidents have a minor correlation with better NADMO results, underlining the need for additional factors in the model. The relevance value supports the suggestion of organizing periodic health and safety lectures as an intervention to alleviate difficulties. Among the recommendations prioritizing comprehensive training, guaranteeing access to Personal PSafety equipment, addressing psychological well-being, and increasing organizational support.
