Abstract         

This study examined the adherence to safety regulations and workplace safety practices at Nigerian Breweries in South East Nigeria. It aimed to determine the relationship between safety training and organizational output, as well as the effect of company safety policies on reducing workplace accidents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. The study population consisted of 1,799 employees, with 261 completed questionnaires returned. The sample size of 318 was determined using the Freund and Williams formula. Data were analyzed, and hypotheses were tested using the Z-test. The results indicated that safety training had a significant positive relationship with organizational output, Z = 12.194, p < .05, and that management’s safety policies were significantly associated with a reduction in workplace accidents, Z = 11.823, p < .05. The study concluded that safety training and effective safety policies contribute to higher productivity and fewer accidents. It is recommended that Nigerian Breweries in South East Nigeria continuously improve and update their safety training programs to enhance operational performance.
