The increasing globalisation of trade has heightened the necessity for compliance with occupational health and safety (OHS) standards, particularly in export companies. This study aims to investigate the implementation of industrial hygiene practices and their correlation with international trade compliance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys of export companies and qualitative interviews with industry experts. Preliminary findings indicate a significant gap in compliance levels, with only 60% of surveyed companies meeting international OHS standards. The study concludes that enhanced training and awareness programmes are essential for improving compliance rates and ensuring the health and safety of workers in export industries.
