Labour is an important factor of production and that is why employers must take cognisance of the health, safety and well-being of employees for the avoidance of work hazards, ill-health accidents and untimely death that often reduce productivity. It is on this basis the study examined Labour Standards and Occupational Safety and Health Policies among selected manufacturing companies in Lagos State.
The research employed the accidental causation theory divided into Heinrich’s Domino theory, Farell’s Theory, Petersen’s Accident/Incident Model, System Models. The age respondents were a total of one hundred and twenty respondents which include 53.2% male and 43.5% female. The sample size determination formula used was the Taro Yamane formula. The sample size was 142. Multi stage sampling technique was adopted with questionnaire as the data collection instrument. For data analysis, chi-square, Percentages and frequencies were used through SPSS. The result of the findings showed that: there was no significant relationship between organisational health and safety and ILO standards.
From the forgoing, it was recommended that government should make up mandatory for all employers of labour especially those dealing with production of consumable items to always train their workers to develop their skills to reduce the rate of injury in organisations. It also recommends that more regulatory agencies of occupational health and safety must be created with powers to prosecute the defauting work organisation.
