dc.description.abstract	The research paper aimed at carrying out an empirical estimation of the Hedonic Wage Function for the Kenyan Labor Market. Specifically, the relationship between workplace safety and wage earnings in the labor market was determined. To achieve the objective of the study, cross-sectional data obtained from the 2015-2016 KIHBS dataset was used to carry out the empirical analysis using Ordinary Least Squares. The empirical findings indicate that individuals who sustain work-related injuries earn more compared to those who do not sustain injuries. Wage earnings were found to increase with the level of education. On average, males earn more compared to females while married individuals earn more than unmarried ones. Earned wages were higher among members of trade unions compared to non-members.	en_US
