Based on a multiple regression on a sample of sample of 150 healthcare providers working in the Fako Division of Cameroon, it is found that, physical health measures and regulatory compliance have a significant effect on the healthcare providers’ performance. This means that, an improvement in occupational health and safety initiatives will significantly improve the level of healthcare providers’ performance in hospitals in Fako division. Conversely, the effect of mental health measures is found to insignificantly affect healthcare providers’ performance.
