摘要：The study was carried out in a furniture industry in Ghana, to identify some of the hazards, lost inrevenue due to hazards and hazard control. Questionnaires were administered to workers of which 60% had adequateknowledge about hazards management; 50% had experienced minor injuries; 80% had knowledge on the use ofPersonal Protective Equipment, and 100% had access to good medical care provided by the Management. The resultsfurther indicated that unavailability and low usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) increase the risk of gettinginvolved in accidents.It was recommended that Management should be committed to the training of their workers onthe use of safety tools. Factory Inspectorates should increase the number of times they visit these industries to ensuresafety. Procedures for providing safety against accidents are therefore very relevant, hence encouraged through safetycommittees.
