Аннотация

Workplace safety is a critical factor influencing business success, particularly in high-risk industries like manufacturing, construction, and oil and gas. Effective hazard identification is the first step in reducing accidents, improving employee well-being, and ensuring regulatory compliance. This paper explores the relationship between workplace safety, particularly hazard identification, and business success in Malaysia. Through a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with business leaders and safety managers in diverse sectors, this study examines how systematic hazard identification practices can enhance business performance, reduce operational costs, and increase employee productivity. The findings reveal a strong correlation between effective hazard identification and improved business outcomes, such as lower accident rates, reduced insurance premiums, and better employee morale. The study emphasizes the importance of proactive safety management systems and highlights the need for organizations in Malaysia to prioritize hazard identification to achieve long-term business success.
