Ineffective occupational health and safety policy have a negative effect on the organization as well as the workforce Data for this research were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data were obtained through structured questionnaire. A stratified sampling technique was adopted using the federal polytechnic Ilaro medical center.

The data collected through the use of structured questionnaire was analyzed with descriptive statistics while hypothesis formulated was tested using multi nominal logistic regression with the aid of SPSS.. The findings shows that the 85% of the respondent agreed that current occupational health and safety practices at the organization were adequate. Staff commitment and compliance to health and safety rules was also high. The study concludes that Staffs are required to wear protective cloth and, use equipment and tools provided for their work, and report any contravention of the law by management. Also the employee has the right to refuse unsafe work. Accidents are costly both to the affected worker and the organization.
