Humans come in front among all other resources that organizations use to function. The uniqueness of human resources is the cause. Humans are unique in their skills compared to other resources. So, organizations should give their people resources more thought. The biggest problem facing society has been health and safety. People's health and safety are not guaranteed at home or on the road. In that circumstance, society places a higher importance on health and safety procedures. Government rules and regulations set some health and safety standards. Culture imposes some of them. While using human resources, one of the most important factors to take into account is workplace health and safety. Due of its significance in the garment industry, where there are several health and safety concerns, safety demands are ranked second in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Due to its extensive use of machinery, electricity, and production goals. The goal of this study was to look into workplace health and safety in the apparel industry. What connection is there between employee performance and health and safety. As a result, one apparel industry organization was chosen to conduct this study, and the population was non-managerial level personnel. Nonmanagerial employees made up the study's population, and a sample of 100 of them were chosen at random to receive questionnaires in order to gather data. Everyone at the company responded. The questionnaire's statement was created using five-point Likert scales. Using statistical techniques and Data Tab software, the collected data was examined (Data Tab). According to the study, job performance among non-managerial employees and occupational health and safety are positively correlated. According to the research's findings, managers are advised to increase programs that raise the organization's level of occupational health and safety in order to improve non-managerial employees' job performance. Also, it is preferable to put more of an emphasis on researching how other aspects affect job performance.
