Abstract: Introduction: This is a subsection of the introduction that describes OHC and its role in supporting workplace safety. The manuscript then details the data collection methods— what data sources the research draws from and how they were analyzed. It had a qualitative and quantitative aspect, which consisted of questionnaires and interviews with workers and employers from various industries. Methods: The results indicate that although all the employees are very much aware of occupational hazards, there is still a gap in the effectiveness of hazard communication. This was clear in the very few procedures in place to enforce safety protocols, and even less of a mandated training schedule to ensure compliance. Results: Overall evidence on this shows that organizations should establish proper communication of information and ensure employees have to undergo regular training to understand hazards and safety rules. Conclusions: Occupational hazard communication has made progress toward workplace safety, but some challenges continue to limit its usefulness. However, the key findings of this assessment serve as a guide for organizations to improve their hazard communication practices, leading to a safer workplace in the long run.
