This research investigates management capabilities and the personal safety of employees. This study's objective is to look into the managerial role in employee safety and also explore the influence of employee commitment on personal safety using the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) as a case theatre. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design because it’s suitable for both qualitative and quantitative methods with fewer challenges. The population of this study comprised all staff of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Lagos State with the use of a primary source of data. Results of this study have revealed that in the FRSC, there was an established significant and positive effect of the managerial role on employee safety (β = .314, Sig. = .001, P<0.05). Also, it further revealed that there was a significant positive effect of employee commitment on personal safety (β = .770, Sig. = .003, P<0.05).  The study concluded that management capabilities are a fundamental aspect that any organization that seeks to achieve the best from its employees should aim towards. The study therefore recommends that the management should be more inclusive in allowing younger staff members of the Federal Road Safety Corp to contribute their ideas toward employee personal safety
