N2 - The amelioration of the deplorable state of
occupational safety and health (OSH) in Nigeria should flow
from upstream to downstream. This short communication reports
on some preliminary results of an ongoing research project in
which workplace observations and interviews were conducted on
10 staff out of 48 staff of the Federal Ministry of Labour and

regulations that they should enforce, thus establishing the
upstream decay of enforcement and compliance with OSH
regulations in Nigeria
