Occupational Health and Safety Information Management System

In general, there are insufficient studies on occupational health and safety in Africa. The purpose of this project is to investigate how District Health Information Software (DHIS) might be used as an information systems infrastructure tool in the context of occupational health and safety. The data gathered through health information systems (HIS) is critical. However, most developing countries’ collection, collation, compilation, analysis, and reporting of health data is inadequate, erroneous, and late, rendering it useless for decision-making. The goal was to investigate how diverse user perceptions influence work-related security and health behaviour. This article examines DHIS (District Health Information System) as an information infrastructure in Zambia. Using the Unified Theory of acceptability and usage of Technology (UTAUT) Model, the study also identifies elements that influence the acceptability and usage of occupational health information system management. The researcher used a descriptive research approach in which 140 questionnaires were distributed to a randomly selected group. The acquired data was analyzed using descriptive and correlation analysis in the social package for statistical sciences software (SPSS). According to the descriptive analysis, there has been a significant relationship between individuals’ intention to use Occupational Health Information Management System and their belief that the system would improve their performance and efficiency in carrying out their tasks. The study concludes that of the hypotheses stated, Effort Expectancy, Performance Expectancy and Social Influence significantly influence Behavioural Intentions for users to use occupation health information management system.
