ABSTRACT


Now a days industry is the main drive force of a country. New industries are made and old
ones are trying to enlarge their capacity. But the main fuel which run the industry are the
employees mainly the worker. Without them no industries can survive. Workers mainly
classified in two types direct and indirect. Direct workers are directly related to the
production. So injury is a common factor among the employees. So emphasize is given on the
cause of the injury and the impact on the economy. As we know an injury can permanently or
partially make a man disable so making a workplace safe is the first priority. Then it comes
the economic impact, in many cases when a worker is injured all the employee stop work and
the total system can be shut down resulting a huge production loss, labor hour loss. It is not
considerable if it happens ones, but when we calculate the total loss in a year it will be a
significant loss. So our priority in this thesis was to show how the injuries can result an
economic loss. We also show how a little concentration of the management on these
consequences can have great impact on the total system making the industry safe for the
workers.
