摘要：This paper examine the major health, safety and
environmental risk management in Ghana’s upstream oil and gas
industry. There were four main specific objectives of the study
which included examining the main occupational health hazards;
the level of employees’ awareness and attitudes to HSE risk
issues; the extent of management commitment to managing HSE
and finally, the challenges confronting the management in
addressing HSE risk issues. The study was based on the views of
105 staff from the study area. A self-administered questionnaire
was the main research instrument. The results from the survey
were analyzed and the first major findings were following.
Considering the first objective, the study found that there are five
main health hazards namely: physical, chemical, biological,
ergonomic and psychological hazards. In the case of the second
objective, it was found that the management attitudes toward
occupational hazards and safety practices were positive. When it
comes to the objective three, it was found that the level of
management commitment to managing HSE risks in Ghana was
very high. Finally, on the issue of challenges, it was discovered
that there were various challenges of which the two most
important ones were overlapping authorities and responsibilities
among ministries and lack of employee and community
involvement in policy making process. Based on these it was
recommended that authorities and responsibilities among
ministries should be well spelt out. Additionally, there should be
both employees and the community involvement in policy making
process.
