The study explored the extent to which the TCC strategy for managing health and
safety has been successful in reducing accidents in Tanzania Cigarette Company.In
achieving the same,the study was guided by three objectives which were; to find out
whether the availability of PPE are adequate at Tanzania Cigarette Company,to
determine the extent to which the provision of Personal Protective Equipment have
managed to reduce accidents at TCC and to identify the challenges facing the provision
and uses of Personal Protective Equipment in TCC.
The study employed a case study design. The respondents of the study were choosen
purposively and randomly.Data were collected from both primary and secondary
sources. The data collection methods used to collect primary data
were;questionnaire,interviews and observation.The secondary data were collected
through documentary review.The Quantitative data were analysed by using SPSS
while qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis.
The study found that personal protective equipment are adequately provided at TCC.
Although the wearing of PPEs is determined by age,gender,occupation and work
experince. More to that,it was found that to a large extents,the provision and and use of
PPEs have managed to reduce accident from year 2011 to 2015. Although some
challenges were also detected such as low quality PPEs provided by the company,
scarcity of equipment and bureaucracy in the provision of personal protective
equipment to workers.
The study recommended that there should be effective inspection to the TCC.This
should be done by the government via its agency (OSHA). Secondly there should be
adequate PPE. Thirdly, employees who do not wear PPE for their own ignorance
should be penalised. Fourthly, the company not adhering to safety regulations should
be penalised. Fifthly, training to the employees should continue to be provided |
