DEVELOP ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MODEL OF ABU DHABI POLICE USING STRUCTURE EQUATION MODEL

Abstract

Health and safety is critical in all industries, but it is especially important in the police force.
It really is a big concern because it is one of the most vulnerable fields when it comes to
workplace incidents. Because of the unusual and risky existence of the police force, safety
and health have always been a major concern. It's harder to decipher because there aren't any
universally accepted health and safety systems in policing, and there's a lot of unpleasant
publications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop organizational health and safety
model of Abu Dhabi police. In this research, the populations are staff members of health and
safety department in police sector in the (UAE). As a result, a total of 285 completed
questionnaires were returned. There were 19 defective questionnaire sets, which were
deemed invalid and unsuitable for further study, while the other 266 survey sets were deemed
valid for further analysis. The analysis of data using appropriate statistical techniques
statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and structural equation modelling (SEM) as the
research is quantitative in nature. According to the results of this analysis, personnel are the
primary cause of injuries, but management is responsible for preventing hazardous situations.
As a practice, reflecting on the often difficult lessons of the past will help to ensure a safer
future. As a result, remedies to health and safety issues in one country can easily be
transferred to other nations, resulting in even greater improvements. The policy implication
of the research is to awaken government in general and ministry of interior in particular from
the slumber of implementation of reliable approach to tackle accidents and criminals.
