Occupational health and safety is the science of anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling various hazards arising from the work environment which could challenge the health and well-being of workers while taking into account the possible impact on the surrounding communities and the general environment (Alli, 2008)
Summary
The Occupational health and safety of workers is relevant to their performance and output. Occupational health and safety is designed to eradicate or reduce the injuries sustained in work related environments; irrespective of the commendable developments associated with occupational health and safety, several forms of accidents still trouble workers in their work environments (Vayrynem, Hakkinen, & Nisknen, 2015). These accidents could lead to workers getting severely injured, working facilities or equipments getting damaged thereby resulting to low productivity (Fernandez, Montes, & Vazquez, 2009). Accidents and injuries associated with motorcyclists make up a high proportion of occupational health and safety challenges in developing countries such as Nigeria (Shaker, Eldesouky, Hasan, & Bayomy, 2014)
