An organizational culture that places a greater value on speed or saving money than on safety can result in work place accidents - some which involve the loss of human life. To disregard safety and health issues can cause more than legal difficulty for an organization. It can sever the trust between workers and management, irretrievably damage employee commitment and performance, and ruin an organization's reputation. Managers then must understand safety and health issues and take steps to maintain a safe work environment with the help of human resources (HR) staff. The employees’ health and safety is determined by mainly five variables; unsafe condition, unsafe act, Alcoholism, stress and burnout and work place violence. The researcher derived the research problem question that is the employees’ health and safety facilities determining employees’ satisfaction. To conduct this research Ceylon electricity board Jaffna was selected and 200 employees were selected as a sample. The data were collected from selected sample. Three hypotheses were tested using the correlation regression analysis. These analyses showed a high negative correlation between unsafe condition and employees’ satisfaction, unsafe act and work place violence have moderate negative correlation with employees’ satisfaction. Finally this research concluded that employees’ health and safety facilities have a negative impact on their satisfaction. Job satisfaction focuses on employees attitudes toward their job. Job satisfaction reflects the extent to which people find gratification or fulfillment in their work. And Also Locke, (1976) gives a comprehensive definition of job satisfaction as involving cognitive, effective states it is “a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the-appraisal of one's job experience”. Job satisfaction is a result of employees’ perception of how well their job provides those things that are viewed as important.
