Paper aims: The main aim of this research is to determine the main barriers in the implementation of occupational health and safety management systems OHSMS in the MSMEs of SAS Nagar from the point of view of employer, worker and the supervisor. Research Method: Survey is conducted with the stakeholders like employer, supervisor, workers of 3 MSMEs located in SAS district of Punjab who influence the safety culture in MSMEs as these stakeholders can directly help in identifying the main barriers in the implementation of OHSMS in MSMEs. Main findings of the Study: Employer and supervisor tend to blame workers and the government for the barriers in the implementing OHSMS, and workers tend to blame management for the difficulties in the implementation of safety management systems. Implications for theory and practice: The barriers in the implementation of the health and safety management should be overcome by following the safety practices in day to day working culture and improving the working conditions of the workplace to minimise the work accidents.
