Within the present time that human resources are the cornerstone within all ‎business organizations and if globalization focused on it through the opening and ‎the abolition of all borders in front of organizations and human resources. It was from ‎the concern for the human resource, taking all its requirements into consideration of ‎material and moral and this at the same time became from challenges within the current ‎era of organizations about how to preserve the human resource from all injuries that may ‎be exposed while performing his job. Although the human resource has become seen as the ‎most important resource of institutions and one of the elements that greatly affect the ‎overall performance of the organization unlike other resources, it is highly affected by the ‎non-stimulating work conditions that do not help to satisfy various needs in the ‎framework of work. To preserve its human resources, especially human resources, small and medium enterprises resort to establishing occupational safety programs to reduce workplace accidents and to protect workers from risks resulting from the work they engage in unsafe workplaces that cause accidents. The human resource is the crucial element for the sustainability of the work of industrial organizations in general and service organizations alike. This means the need to provide a safe work environment that guarantees it from all the risks of the work environment by securing occupational health and safety procedures. In addition to encouraging organizations to work to provide suitable working conditions through standards. Certain specifications, which come in the forefront of the specifications (ISO45001), mean occupational health and safety for workers in different worksheets, and for this reason, the current research comes as an attempt to find out the extent of the availability of concepts of occupational health and safety within the studied (oil) sector in the governorate of Dohuk, the effect of this on job satisfaction. For workers within that sector, given that the oil sector is one of the fields in which people may be exposed to work injuries within their daily life, and that is through the researcher obtaining data by distributing the questionnaire to (120) employees from which only (100) unit were obtained and the other 20 units of the survey did not return from the employees or were cancelled due to incorrect information valid for statistical analysis. The researcher developed a set of hypotheses, the most important of which is that there are a positive correlation and effect between occupational safety and job satisfaction at the macro and a partial level of the study sample. A set of conclusions was reached, the most important of which is that the oil sector may need to empower the employees to work freely, to ensure that they do not make any mistakes in the future.
