Özet:
Lack of effective occupational safety and health (OSH) strategies is a reason that workplace accidents in the mining and quarrying industry remain high, making the industry one of the riskiest operations worldwide. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore successful strategies mining and quarrying leaders in Zimbabwe used to improve OSH. The key research question addressed successful strategies leaders in the mining and quarrying industry use to improve employee occupational safety and health in Zimbabwe. Six successful business leaders from 3 mining and quarrying mines in Zimbabwe demonstrated an exception to unsafe practices, particularly through their exceptional OSH improvement records. The conceptual framework of the study was Deming's plan-do-study-act cycle theory. Data were gathered through review of company documents, and in-depth interviews with 6 mining and quarrying leaders in Zimbabwe who had successfully improved OSH strategies in the workplace. Transcribed interview data were classified, coded, and analyzed. Themes that emerged included organizational culture, compliance with rules and regulations, and accident prevention. The results of the study indicate that successful OSH leaders designed the workplace, trained and developed employees, and empowered and equipped employees with the relevant skills and knowledge. The findings support positive social change by providing mining and quarrying leaders with knowledge and skills to improve OSH strategies in the workplace, thereby promoting a safe workplace and zero accident tolerance in the workforce and the community.
