Abstract: The twentieth century witnessed remarkable reductions in the number and rate of occupational fatalities and injuries. However, many preventable injuries and deaths still occur. There are barriers to progress in occupational injury prevention and strategies for overcoming them. In mining, the frequency of death has dramatically declined over the century. The latest figures indicate that less than 6000 employee deaths from injury occurred in 2000 (Stout, 2012). Catastrophic events have prompted increased attention, resources, and action on workplace hazards and risks, resulting in sweeping changes, including new protective laws. Science based approaches to prevention have contributed to progress.

Abstract: Employee recruitment is one of the most important human resource functions. However, research on recruitment practices has been relatively narrow in scope and frequently failed to link recruitment practices to organizational performance in Non-Governmental Organizations. The study sought to establish the influence of recruitment practices on organizational performance of NGOs in Nakuru East Sub County. The objectives of the study were to examine the influence of employee referrals and mass media vacancy advertisement on organizational performance of NGOs.
