Abstract
The main aim of the paper is to identify the level of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) systems application in the Waha Oil Company. This study also examines the employee’s perspective (PE) regarding the application level of the systems of occupational health and safety. The study has shown that the majority of employees are satisfied with the level of occupational health and safety means and procedures in their workplace, also the employees agreed that the company holds training programs and sessions on occupational health and safety affairs, and the results have shown that employees are satisfied with the insurance and compensation policies in the company. The study has adopted a quantitative approach with deductive reasoning based on a case study model to test for a correlation between two main variables which are (OHS and EP). Also, this approach allows analysis of the numerical primary data generated from the questionnaire using the statistical software SPSS. According to the results of this study, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant linear correlation between the two variables and that this relationship is positive, meaning that OHS as an independent variable can predict EP as a dependent variable.
