To carry out the study, a quantitative, descriptive, and correlational non-experimental design was used with a census sample, a questionnaire was applied to 42 workers in the months from July to August 2022. For the analysis of the results, the statistical technique of a simple linear regression model was applied to investigate the relationships of both variables to prove the hypotheses according to the dimensions studied. The study findings showed that there is a significant relationship between occupational health and safety; and the work performance of the organization's personnel with a value of 0.792. Therefore, there is a need to incorporate a safety plan and improve safety conditions to increase work performance.
