Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), has gained much importance in the management of workplace. In the age of globalization and modernization safety and security has become very crucial in running a business smoothly and efficiently. All over the world governments issue various rules and regulations related to safety and security of employees for compliance. All the legislations and rules have common belief in a fundamental right of every employee to a healthy and safe working environment. Every responsible employer tries to abide by all the rules and regulations to have a good reputation in the world of business which ultimately results in greater profits. Islam views this world in different perspective. It goes beyond the materialistic needs of the businessmen and wants to treat employees only as human beings. The purpose of the present study is to explore the concept of occupational safety in Islamic perspective and highlight some of its principles which make it prominent from conventional occupational safety and health approach. The research work is theoretical in nature. The effort has been made in this research paper to look into the basic sources of Islam.
