Abstract: This paper examines the various factors that play a significant role in implementing occupational health and safety (OHS) practices in the workplace. OHS practices are crucial in ensuring the well-being of workers and reducing the likelihood of workplace accidents and injuries. However, the degree to which these practices are adopted varies between organisations and industries, and several factors can affect their implementation. Through a review of relevant literature, this paper identifies key factors that impact adopting OHS practices, including organisational culture, management commitment, employee involvement, training and education, regulatory requirements, and external influences. By understanding and assessing these factors, organisations can develop effective strategies for promoting adopting OHS practices and creating safer and healthier workplaces for their employees.
