Worker health and safety should be considered a fundamental organizational policy, if not a right. As a result, the study intended to determine the extent to which job stress, industry, and shift work pattern are associated with worker health and safety in a Ghanaian manufacturing firm. A total of 100 shift-working personnel from the oil and gas business were randomly recruited for this cross-sectional research. The major research technique was a Shift worker survey questionnaire. A research-made questionnaire was used to collect data on the employees' demographics and working conditions. In addition, Cooper's occupational stress questionnaire was employed to gather stress-related data. Inferential data analysis was performed using Chi-square and One-way ANOVA testing. Shift work has been linked to occupational stress among health care practitioners and workers in some industries. The organization isn't well-known among law enforcement officers.

Key words: Shift work, Mental health, Stress, workers.
