From the study it is recommended that the Government should ensure that Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is strengthened for effective monitoring of Occupational Safety and Health standards at workplaces, the management through Human Resources Department should organize an elaborate training program for both managers and employees. It was also suggested that occupational safety and health services should put in place the special facilities of those in need, which include workers with disabilities, old workers, and workers living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, and finally the organization should keep accurate records of accidents.en_US
