dc.description.abstractThe rate at which accidents are recorded in the hospitality industry due to unprofessionalism of most employers towards employees’ well-being in the hospitality industry in Nigeria has drawn the attention of researchers. The aim of this study is to establish the effect of risks factor management on occupational health of staff in hospitality industry in Lagos state, Nigeria. To achieve this objective, cross sectional research design using quantitative approach was employed. The study’s target population for this study constitutes 1,589 staff of 20 top hotels that are also into event management in Lagos state. The study used the Taro Yamane formula in determining the sample size. A sample size of 320 was used as the sample for the study. The study employed both descriptive and inferential tools for data analysis. Correlation and Hierarchical Regression Method was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 or 5% level of significance. Major findings of the research reveal that accident on the job and malfunctioning of tools have significant impact on the health and safety of staff (above 50.5% impact) and security and safe travels have significant impact on the health and safety of staff (equally above 50% impact). The study concluded that risk management and occupational risk are predictors of health and safety of staff in hotels and event planning industries. Arisen from the major findings of this study, the study hereby recommended that: hotels and event planning companies should put all necessary measures in place to ensure that inherent risks in event planning are identified and prompt response measures must be put in place to arrest such identified risk; and risk that are identified with accident on the job and malfunctioning of tools must be assessed in order to ensure that such risks are calculated and such risk are prevented from occurrence.
