Implementation of Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSE-MS) Requirements with Emphasis on Payment Management

Abstract

Background: In this study, the implementation of the requirements of health, safety and environment management system with emphasis on payment management in contracting companies has been compared. Methods: The current research is a cross-sectional study in which 200 persons were randomly chosen from a Krejcie and Morgan table as a sample (159 contractors of the gas company and 41 of the two contractors of the water and wastewater company). Two questions created by the researcher were included in the data gathering instrument. The first questionnaire included ten questions comparing HSE standards, while the second questionnaire had 28 questions comparing the two organizations' health, safety, and environmental indicators. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: The questionnaire's validity (qualitative content analysis) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha) were both validated as a consequence of the findings (0.879). Based on the findings, it was discovered that the Gas Organization's contracting companies implement the requirements of the health management system and safety better than the Water and Sewerage Organization of South Khorasan Province, and that the reason for this appropriate situation is the Gas Organization's emphasis on payment management (P<0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that the implementation of health, safety, and environmental management system requirements in the contracting companies of the Gas Organization is better than the Water and Sewerage Organization of South Khorasan Province. There are various aspects at play, and one of the most significant in the correct circumstances is the gas company's concentration on payment management.
