Background of the Study

Workplace accidents are a major concern in the manufacturing sector due to the high-risk nature of production activities. In Borno State, manufacturing companies play a crucial role in the economy, but poor working conditions, inadequate safety measures, and lack of compliance with occupational safety regulations contribute to frequent accidents (Ahmed & Yusuf, 2024).

Studies show that common workplace accidents in manufacturing industries include falls, machine-related injuries, chemical exposures, and burns (Usman et al., 2023). However, limited data exists on accident trends in Borno State, making it difficult for policymakers and company management to develop effective prevention strategies. This study aims to analyze workplace accident trends, their causes, and the effectiveness of safety measures in manufacturing companies in Borno State.

Statement of the Problem

Despite the presence of occupational safety policies, workplace accidents in manufacturing companies in Borno State remain prevalent. Many companies do not maintain accurate records of accidents, making it difficult to identify patterns and implement corrective measures. Additionally, enforcement of safety regulations is weak, leading to repeated incidents that compromise worker safety and productivity. This study seeks to examine workplace accident trends, identify key risk factors, and propose measures for improving workplace safety.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To analyze workplace accident trends in manufacturing companies in Borno State.

  2. To identify the major causes of workplace accidents in the manufacturing sector.

  3. To recommend strategies for improving safety and reducing accident rates in manufacturing companies.

Research Questions

  1. What are the common trends in workplace accidents in manufacturing companies in Borno State?

  2. What are the primary causes of workplace accidents in the manufacturing sector?

  3. What measures can be implemented to enhance safety and reduce workplace accidents?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Workplace accident rates in manufacturing companies in Borno State have increased over the years.

  2. Poor safety measures and lack of compliance with regulations contribute significantly to workplace accidents.

  3. Implementing stricter safety policies can reduce the frequency of workplace accidents.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This study will focus on manufacturing companies in Borno State, examining accident records from the past five years. Data will be collected from company reports, employee interviews, and safety audits. Limitations may include restricted access to company accident reports and potential underreporting of incidents.
