The main concern for any Higher Education institution is its ability to maintain the relationship between workers' wellbeing and the Safety Management System (SMS). The research sought to discover how employees play an important part in ensuring an efficient Safety Management System (SMS) that would make workers' wellbeingmandatory. The study survey data is set at the micro- level of analysis. The micro-sample consist of fourteen (14) full-time employees who responded by filling out the questionnaire. A google questionnaire platform was used to analyze the data. The study utilized descriptive statistics such as mean, mode, and standard deviation. Tables were used for the data presentation and explanation of the methods. The findings of the analyzed data revealed that workers were involved in the marginal discussionof safety policies in the workplace. Employees feel that they may benefit from safety management system programs that are supplemented with health promotion programs that are perceived to have a positive impact on employees' health, increase productivity, and most of all their wellbeing.
