Abstract
Safety is crucial in the oil and gas refinery industry for production and distribution. Companies must ensure a workplace free from common injuries and protected against serious incidents. This paper evaluates employees’ knowledge, attitudes, practices, and workplace environment at North Refineries Company (Baiji). A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from September 10, 2024, to September 20, 2025, involving 480 employees (378 workers and 102 managers). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and analysed using SPSS version 24. North Refineries Company (Baiji). workers scored 72.49 % on general knowledge and 96.83% on attitudes, but only 53.97% on safe behaviour. Division managers reported health support measures at 84.31% (healthy) and long-term health effects at 58% (healthy), while 45% indicated a lack of regular screenings as unhealthy, and nearly 44% noted unhealthy work-related health problems. In conclusion, this study has determined that oil sector workers must follow a sequential safety protocol to protect themselves and equipment and increase production.
