ABSTRACT Occupational health is concerned with protecting workers from harm on the job and places a premium on identifying and eliminating potential dangers before they ever become problems. Promoting and maintaining a culture of health in the workplace has numerous benefits for individuals, communities, businesses, and nations. Investment in workplace safety and health has been shown to increase productivity, product quality, employee motivation, job satisfaction, and general well-being and protect employees from harm. The study's goal was to determine the impact of occupational health and safety management on workers' job satisfaction and perceived job meaningfulness using NPHIL employees. A judgmental sampling technique was used to select 175 workers at NPHIL. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, and the multiple linear regression model was used to estimate the impact of occupational health and safety management on workers' job satisfaction and perceived job meaningfulness. The study found that hazard prevention, control, and employee surveillance statistically impact employees' job satisfaction. The study revealed that hazard prevention and control and employee surveillance statistically impact perceived job meaningfulness. It was found that health and safety training, hazard identification and risk management, workplace inspection, and incidence investigation have a statistically insignificant impact on job satisfaction and perceived job meaningfulness.
