1.0 Introduction
1.1Background of the study
This paper addresses occupational Safety, Health and security policies in prime Aluminium Ltd which is an unavoidable aspect of manufacturing and this is so because the only time an employee will perform his duties is when the employee is in good health and is sure of a safe working condition. This boils to the fact that a worker will perform his duties to the fullest only when he is sure that even when an accident occurs he will be taken good care of. “One of the most important things that an employer should provide to his employees is safety even at a low risk site” says Pushpa Velani the human resource assistant at Prime Aluminium Ltd.
Brief History of Safety and security is that one of the effects of the Europeans coming into this part of the world was the introduction of wage-earning employment. In the course of time it was discovered that it was absolutely necessary to safeguard the interest of both the employer and the employee, hence the introduction of the various means of regulating employer-employee relationship. Initially, it was thought that the employees were being made objects of servitude but in the long run it became apparent that this sort of relationship requires the incorporation of rules to avoid either party being cheated out rightly. Labor law which was fashioned to ameliorate the prevalent crisis engulfing the industry in England at a time was adopted in Nigeria as a direct consequence of colonialism by the United Kingdom.
1.2 Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to seek and to find out whether there are challenges inherent in this area that a human resource manager faces in his day to day routine duties
