It is important to determine the impact of these possible risks on the human factor, which is expressed as the workforce, and to create the necessary conditions for a safe and healthy work environment by employers. This situation will create the perception that the requirements of the psychological contract based on the principle of reciprocity are fulfilled in the employees.

In the light of the findings obtained from 409 questionnaires suitable for the analysis, there was found a negative (-.17) and a significantly low relationship between occupational health and safety practices and the transactional psychological contract dimension at the p < .001 level, and a positive (.23) significantly relationship with the relational psychological contract dimension.
