Abstract

The study aims to show the level of safety awareness of the management and the workers in the assembly area in a certain sewing company which presents the structured and systematic approach that will help the management of the company to monitor and measure the safety performance, productivity and quality of work of the employees. Safety Management is a formal risk management framework to improve safety, thus organizations would have systems for hazard identification and risk management, safety targets and reporting processes, procedures for audit, investigations, remedial actions, and safety education. The researchers utilized the descriptive method with the questionnaire as the major source of data from the 11 regular workers who are at the assembly area which purposively selected. The four-point Likert scale, Weighted mean, Pearson-R correlation coefficient and T-test were utilized to treat data. Irregularities on the safety management of the company have found out. This leads to an insufficient safety management within the company. The level of awareness on safety management should be given an importance by the management because it gives a great impact on the productivity of the personnel, and with that the quality/maintenance of the safety management has a great contribution to the productivity of the personnel.
