Road safety
The paper looks into the issue of unsafe roads about human health. This is the baseline as to why I decided to choose this s topic. In the contemporary world, unsafe roads have caused accidents which result in injuries and loss of life Trevor, Raftery, Simon and Jeremy (2015). In an event of the accident, loss of life through accidents will have a direct effect on the operations at the workplace. Injuries and loss of life affect the workforce and the human resource thus making lame of the workplace. That notwithstanding, in an event of loss of life and property, the persons involved may be penalized by the law. In some instances, the penalties Trevor, Raftery, Simon and Jeremy (2015) may mean a jail term which will leave the organization or the company without the necessary workforce.
The paper tries to look into the vast problem within the unsafe roads and tries to correlate it with the effects it may cause into the workforce. For instance, the agencies tasked with the role of ensuring road safety have taken a bold step to ensure all the vehicles that are declared unsafe to be on the roads are banned and kept pout of the roads. The bold step, in this case, is geared towards ensuring that the road accidents are reduced and that the workforce is by no chance affected by the state of unsafe roads. The primary problem, in this case, is the road safety which later burst into other secondary problems such as accidents and loss of life.
The safety of our roads should be warranted by the necessary agencies so that we can improve our workforce and eventually improve the economy of the country.

Road safety
Work health and safety and road safety is a concept that seeks to establish a relation between the three variables. Workers in their daily duty of performing their daily duties meet some scenarios that pose danger into their lives. This call for the safety measures to be put in place to warrant all the workers their safety in their course of undertaking daily duties. Roads accidents on the other hand refers to a situation whereby the vehicle collides with another vehicle, which leads to injuries, property damage and loss of lives. Road accidents not only involve a collision of a vehicle with another vehicle but also a situation that involves a vehicle hitting an individual.
Research question
What is the qualitative literature perspective of Work Health and Safety and road safety? and how are they common?
Background of the study
The paper tries to look into the vast problem within the unsafe roads and tries to correlate it with the effects it may cause into the workforce.

Research ethical issues
In the course of conducting this research, I expect to meet several ethical issues from the participants that I am slated to meet. One of the issue that could be said to be a major issue is the issue of dishonesty from the participants Behi, & Nolan (1994). While doing research, it is important to note that not every person will buy your idea and therefore, some may give data that is incorrect and that they which may at the end of the research compromise the study. In this light, some of the participants my solicit favors from the researcher so that they can participate which is ethically wrong within the precepts of the research. Through favors, the participants will compromise the objectivity of the research and thus they will not give honest opinions about the data they will be giving which will make the research erroneous.
Along carrying out this research, the issues of health workers safety is directly related to their performance, if there are not accorded with the necessary equipment, their productivity will be greatly be affected. The productivity if the workers will go down because they need to be secured and they need to feel that their welfare is well catered for failure to which their morale will be greatly altered. Similarly, road accidents occur as a result of the welfare of the workers not being looked at with some sort of seriousness. From feeling left out, they the people who work in the transport industry start working without factoring in that they are carrying lives. If an accident happens, it leaves a lot of damages to both human life and property thus has a direct correlation with the human health.
To arrive to a comprehensive study, I intend to use the easiest way of sampling. I will use the systematic sampling in this study. This is because, the systematic sampling has little chances of making a mistake. In most cases it factors in all the aspects of the data as compared to random sampling which may leave some quarters of the data not being captured in the study.
