IV.1- RESULTS AND
INTERPRETATIONS
Immediate and progressive results were obtained as could be seen
below.
IV.1.1- Immediate
We immediately achieved the following results:
a) Health and safety policy statement with copy in page 55 in
annex, has been established and proposed to the managing board but not yet
approved though it is already being executed since September 2012,
b) Creation and installation of a well-structured health and
safety committee of which Mr Fandio Moise is the coordinator, appendix C page
57,
c) Training of members in the management of a safety committee
(see photos page 59 appendix D),
d) Trainings received by some members in the domain of field of
fire-fighting, (see photos page 59 appendix D),
IV.1.2- Progressive
· The elaboration of a datae base for owners of vehicles
and Moto bikes is going on.
· Amelioration of the working conditions (ventilation) in
the packaging service is under studies.
· The systematic registration of accidents and near
misses has started, with a register at the human resource service.
Proceeding with further verifications based on the datae of
120 workers using the spread sheet and analyzing, we observed the following:
In part one concerning informations related to the employee's
profile and socio-professional status, 54% of those who responded were born
between 1975 - 1985 with 74% being men while 15% are women and 11% did not
chosed their sex. See tables 3 and 4 as well as figures 6 and 7 below.

Figure 9: Current working experience
Furthermore, we have presented in table 7 below a summary of
the major topics of our questionnaires which was exploited in parts A
(training and supervision or learning culture), B (safe work
procedures), C (reporting safety), D (management
commitment) and E (injury management) which are in accordance
with the various authors quoted in our literature review. Thus:
Ø The issue of safety culture is supported by the
General Manager and the other leaders as indicated by 71% employees, with 69%
mastering the essence of a health/safety policy although only 68% confirmed
that safety procedures, rules and regulations are respected. This idea goes in
line with Duane et al (2007).
Ø Just like Fleming (2001), 89% of the workers
interviewed agree that hazard and their associated risks will be detected
faster when frequent inspections of the various sites are made and reported.
For 82% of the employees, safety is primordial for each and every one in such a
way that lessons are learned for past experiences in this domain as supported
by 78%. Thus 68% agree that sensitization is helpful to enhance safety culture.
This same point is highlighted by Weick et al (2001), the Royal Aeronautics
society (2004) as well as Phil. Hughes and Ed Ferrett (2007).
Ø Cleanliness is well considered by 81% whereas 84% are
aware that collaboration is necessary for the implementation of safety culture
hence considers the various attitudes within the company. Safety management,
thus safety culture is enhanced as earlier sated in HSE, 2002b.
Ø As regards injury management, 75% confirms that it is
appreciable and risky situations according to 66% of the employees will be
minimized if they are proactive.
Ø For 64% of those interviewed, leaders look for
solutions to eventual safety tempers reported such that workers are not blamed
when an accident occurs; instead the managers look for its origin and justice
made. This could also be justified by 65% workers who declare that the discuss
safety issues freely during work with everybody and take part in several
decision making regarding the above mentioned domain. By so doing, a just
culture as also stated by the following authors: Reason (1997), Whittingham,
R.B (2004) and Schein et al (2004) exists.
