Workplace health and safety measures play a vital role in protecting employees from occupational hazards and promoting their overall well-being. The present study examines employees’ perceptions of workplace health and safety measures in the sugar industry. The study is based on primary data collected from 100 employees through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal that employees generally hold favorable opinions regarding the availability of clean drinking water, sanitation facilities, waste disposal arrangements, ventilation standards, fire-fighting equipment, first aid facilities, and machinery safeguards. The correlation analysis indicates a strong positive relationship between workplace health and safety measures, while the regression analysis confirms that these measures significantly influence employees’ perceptions of workplace safety. The study concludes that effective implementation of health and safety measures contributes significantly to employee well-being, workplace safety, and organizational productivity. Appropriate recommendations are suggested to further strengthen occupational health and safety practices in the sugar industry.
