a) The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social
well-being of workers in all occupations.
b) The prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their working
conditions.
c) The protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors
adverse to health.
d) The placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to
physical and mental needs.
e) The adaptation of work to humans.
Successful occupational health and safety practice requires the collaboration and
participation of both employers and workers in health and safety programmes, and involves

not necessarily also a healthy workplace. The important point is that issues of both health and
Work plays a central role in people's lives, since most workers spend at least eight
Therefore, work environments should be safe and healthy. Unfortunately some employers
assume little responsibility for the protection of workers' health and safety. In fact, some
employers do not even know that they have the moral and often legal responsibility to protect
workers.
The survey has been conducted from employees in order to find out satisfactory level
of the employees towards health and safety of Neycer India Limited at Vadalur.
The area selected for this study is Neycer India Limited; the sample size chosen for the study
The important factors considered for the analysis are health and safety measure in the
programmes.

It is used normally for the re-firing. This can also be used for first firing.
LOADING:
Here the cars are kept with refractory setters according to the production pattern. A
thin coating of alumina wash is given on the setters to avoid sticking of wares on the setters.
Thermo Cole pieces are used for cushioning effect. The wars are loaded on the setters and
after inspection and air blowing the car with wares are pushed inside the Tunnels Kiln for
firing.
It is a continuous type of kiln. Fuel is natural gas. The ears loaded with the wars are
pushed into the kiln as per scheduled time with the help of hydraulic pushing machine and
fired around at 1200 approximately during the firing cycle. Centralized panel board is
available for controlling the temperature and draught. After completion of the firing and
cooling, the cars are taken out from the exit of the kiln and sent to the unloading and sorting
department.

Workplace health and safety is protecting the safety, health and overall welfare of
employees at a particular company or institution. The goal of most workplace health and
According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health
Organization (WHO), health and safety at work is aimed at the promotion and maintenance
of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
the prevention among workers of leaving work due to health problems caused by their
working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational

environment‟s may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and
Occupational safety and health can be important for moral, legal, and financial reasons. All
organizations have a duty of care to ensure that employees and any other person who may be
Moral obligations would involve the protection of employee's lives and health. Legal reasons
for OSH practices relate to the preventative, punitive and compensatory effects of laws that
protect worker's safety and health. OSH can also reduce employee injury and illness related
costs, including medical care, sick leave and disability benefit costs. OSH may involve
hygiene, public health, safety engineering, industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics,
Statutory provisions:
According to factories Act, 1948, the statutory provisions regarding the health of the
workers are stated in the sections 11 to 20. They are
Cleanliness (sec 11):
Every factory shall be kept clean by daily sweeping or washing the floors and
workrooms and by using disinfectants where every necessary. Walls, doors and windows
shall be repainted or varnished at least once in every 5 years.
Statutory provisions:
According to factories Act, 1948, the statutory provisions regarding the safety of the
workers are stated in the sections 21 to 41. They are
Striking gear and devices for cutting off power (Sec 24):
In every factory, suitable striking gear or other efficient mechanical appliance has to
be provided, maintained and used to move driving belts.
Prohibition of employment of women and children near cotton openers (Sec 27):
Women and child workers are prohibited to be employed in any part of a factory for
pressing cotton in which a cotton opener is at work.
Work-related accidents or diseases are very costly and can have many serious direct and
indirect effects on the lives of workers and their families. For workers some of the direct
costs of an injury or illness are:
a) the pain and suffering of the injury or illness;
b) the loss of income;
c) the possible loss of a job;
d) Health-care costs.
It has been estimated that the indirect costs of an accident or illness can be four to ten
times greater than the direct costs, or even more. An occupational illness or accident can have
so many indirect costs to workers that it is often difficult to measure them. One of the most
obvious indirect costs is the human suffering caused to workers' families, which cannot be
compensated with money.
Identifying hazards in the workplace:
Use a
variety of
sources for
information
about
potential or
existing
hazards in
your
workplace
Some occupational diseases have been recognized for many years, and affect workers in
different ways depending on the nature of the hazard, the route of exposure, the dose, etc.
Some well-known occupational diseases include:
A successful
health and
safety
programme
requires
strong
management
commitment
and worker
participation
In order to develop a successful health and safety programme, it is essential that there
be strong management commitment and strong worker participation in the effort to create and
maintain a safe and healthy workplace. An effective management addresses all work-related
hazards, not only those covered by government standards.
All levels of management must make health and safety a priority. They must
communicate this by going out into the worksite to talk with workers about their concerns
and to observe work procedures and equipment. In each workplace, the lines of responsibility
from top to bottom need to be clear, and workers should know who is responsible for
different health and safety issues.
Importance of training:
Effective
training is
a key
component
of any
health and
safety
programme
Workers often experience work-related health problems and do not realize that the
problems are related to their work, particularly when an occupational disease, for example, is
in the early stages. Besides the other more obvious benefits of training, such as skills
development, hazard recognition, etc., a comprehensive training programme in each
workplace will help workers to:
Effective workplace health and safety programmes can help to save the lives of workers
by reducing hazards and their consequences. Health and safety programmes also have
positive effects on both worker morale and productivity, which are important benefits.
At the same time, effective programmes can save employers a great deal of money. For
all of the reasons given below, it is crucial that employers, workers and unions are committed
to health and safety.
1) Johannson B; Rask K; Stenberg M (2010)1, this study was to carry out a broad survey
and analysis of relevant research articles about piece rate wages and their effects on
health and safety. A total of 75 research articles were examined extensively and 31 of
these were found relevant and had sufficient quality to serve the purpose of this study.
The findings of these relevant articles are summarized and analysed in the survey. More
recent research shows a clear interest for health, musculoskeletal injuries, physical
workload, pains and occupational injuries. The fact that 27 of the 31 studied articles
found negative effects of piece rates on different aspects of health and safety does not
prove causality, but together they give very strong support that in most situations piece
rates have negative effects on health and safety.
2) Tompa, Emile PhD; Dolinschi, Roman MA; de Oliveira (2009)2, we reviewed the
occupational health and safety intervention literature to synthesize evidence on financial
merits of such interventions. A literature search included journal databases, existing
systematic reviews, and studies identified by content experts. We found strong evidence
that ergonomic and other musculoskeletal injury prevention intervention in manufacturing
and warehousing are worth undertaking in terms of their financial merits. The economic
evaluation of interventions in this literature warrants further expansion. The review also
provided insights into how the methodological quality of economic evaluations in this
literature could be improved.
4) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta Escriba-aguir; Lorena Cascant (2009)4, the
objectives of this study was to identify family and job characteristics associated with long
work hours. The sample was composed of all salaried workers aged 16–64 years (3950
men and 3153 women) interviewed in the 2006 Catalonian Health Survey. Factors
associated with long working hours differed by gender. In men, working 51–60 h a week
was consistently associated with poor mental health status, self-reported hypertension, job
dissatisfaction, smoking, shortage of sleep. Among women it was only related to smoking
and to shortage of sleep. The association of overtime with different health indicators
among men and women could be explained by their role as the family breadwinner.
5) Dee W. Edington; Alyssa B. Schultz (2008)5, The aim was to present the literature
which provides evidence of the association between health risks and the workplace
economic measures of time away from work, reduced productivity at work, health care
costs and pharmaceutical costs. A search of PubMed was conducted and high quality
studies were selected and combined with studies known to the authors. A strong body of
evidence exists which shows that health risks of workers are associated with health care
costs and pharmaceutical costs. A growing body of literature also confirms that health
risks are associated with the productivity measures. The paper shows that measures of
success will continue to be important as the field of worksite health management moves
forward.
6) David E. Cantor (2008)6, The purpose of this paper was to review the literature and call
for additional research into the human, operational, and regulatory issues that contribute
to workplace safety in the supply chain. This paper identifies several potential research
opportunities that can increase awareness of the importance of improving a firm's
workplace safety practices. This paper identifies 108 articles which informs, how the
logistics and transportation safety has evolved. The paper identifies 14 future research
opportunities within the workplace safety in the supply chain, that have been identified
can have a positive effect on practitioners confronted with safety issues.
7) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta Escriba-aguir; Lorena Cascant (2007)7, To
provide a framework for epidemiological research on work and health that combines
classic occupational epidemiology and the consideration of work in a structural
perspective focused on gender inequalities in health. Gaps and limitations in classic
8) Shouji Nagashima; Yasushi Suwazono; Yasushi Okubo; Mirei Uetani (2007)8, The
aim was to clarify the influence of working hours on both mental and physical symptoms
of fatigue and use the data obtained to determine permissible working hours. The survey
of day-shift male workers, using the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Cumulative
Fatigue Symptoms Index (CFSI). A total of 715 workers participated. In the group
working 260–279 h/month, the odds ratios for SDS and „irritability‟ and „chronic
tiredness‟ of the CFSI were increased. In the group working 280 h/month, the odds ratios
on CFSI for „general fatigue‟, „physical disorders‟, „anxiety‟ and „chronic tiredness‟ were
likewise increased. The research clarified that working hours should be <260 h/month in
order to minimize fatigue symptoms in male day workers.
10) A Baker; K Heiler; S A Ferguson (2002)10, The occupational health and safety
implications associated with compressed and extended work periods have not been fully
explored in the mining sector. Absenteeism and incident frequency rate data were
collected over a 33 month period that covered three different roster schedules. The only
significant change in absenteeism rates was an increase in the maintenance sector in the
third data collection period. The current study did not find significant negative effects of a
12-hour pattern, when compared to an 8-hour system. However, when unregulated and
excessive overtime was introduced as part of the 12-hour/5-day roster, absenteeism rates
were increased in the maintenance sector.
13) Graves carol gevecker; Matanoski genevieve m; Tardiff robert g (2000)13, Carbonless
copy paper (CCP), introduced in 1954. Its safety to workers who handle large amounts of
CCP has been addressed in numerous studies and reports. This review encompasses the
world's literature on CCP and provides a weight-of-evidence analysis of the safety of
CCP to workers in the United States. Since 1987, has produced neither primary skin
irritation nor skin sensitization under normal conditions of manufacture and use. Finally,
very few published complaints have come from the manufacturing sector where the
closest and most voluminous contact occurs. Based on the weight of the evidence,
NIOSH is anticipated to conclude that CCP is not a hazard to workers and has only a
small possibility of producing mild and transient skin irritation.
14) Karen J.M. Niven (2000)14, A literature review was described which aimed to evaluate
economic evaluations of health and safety interventions in healthcare. Problems were
identified with valuing benefits in health and safety because they frequently take many
years to emerge and are difficult to measure. Understanding of economic techniques
within the health and safety professions was limited, resulting in wide-ranging
assumptions being made as to the positive economic impact of health and safety
interventions. Healthcare managers, health economists, and health and safety
professionals have not traditionally worked together and have inherent misunderstandings
of each other roles. The review concludes that the aim of future research should be to
assist the National Health Service (NHS) to make valid decisions about health and safety
investment and risk control methods.
16) Simon Chapple and Tracy Mears (1996)16, Most OECD countries rely on a mixture of
market forces, tort liability, compulsory insurance and government regulation to deal with
workplace safety and health issues. There are also other non-efficiency reasons for
government involvement in workplace safety and health. However, while markets may
not be efficient, government intervention can fail to make any improvement and/or not
satisfy cost-benefit criteria. While the empirical evidence is not clear cut, the balance of
the evidence suggests that wages may include some consideration for health and safety
risks. Evidence also suggests that workers‟ compensation systems increase the frequency
and duration of claims for non-fatal injuries, but may decrease the number of fatal
injuries.
17) Peter Hasle and Hans Jorgen Limborg (1995)17, The scientific literature regarding
preventive occupational Health and Safety Activities in Small Enterprises has been
reviewed in order to identify effective preventive approaches and to develop a future
research strategy. There is a lack of evaluation of intervention studies, both in terms of
effect and practical applicability. However, there is sufficiently strong evidence to
conclude that workers of small enterprises are subject to higher risks than the larger ones,
and that small enterprises have difficulties in controlling risk. The most effective
preventive approaches seem to be simple and low cost solutions, disseminated through
personal contact. It is important to develop future intervention research strategies, which
study the complete intervention system of the small enterprises.
19) Maynard, Andrew D19, Article from newsletter by Andrew Maynard summarizing the
current level of development and government investment in nanotechnology research and
development, how nanotechnology presents a potential challenge to conventional
approaches to understanding health hazards in the workplace, and how the United States
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health is working to address current and
potential adverse health impacts in the workplace from nanotechnology.
20) Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment, and Health20, This article seeks to
address a number of important questions concerning the potential health and workplace
safety risks raised by the manufacturing, handling, and distributing of engineered
nanoparticles. The article addresses the following questions; (1) the hazards classification
of engineered nanoparticles, (2) exposure metrics, (3) the actual exposures workers may
have to different engineered nanoparticles in the workplace, (4) the limits of engineering
controls and personal protective equipment in protecting workers in regard to engineered
nanoparticles, (5) the kind of surveillance programs that should be put in place to protect
workers, (6) whether exposure registers should be established, and (7) if engineered
nanoparticles should be treated as new substances and evaluated for safety and hazards.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research is a process in which the researcher wishes to find out the end result for a
given problem and thus the solution helps in future course of action. The research has been
defined as “A careful investigation or enquiry especially through search for new fact in any
branch of knowledge”.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The procedure using, which researchers go about their work of describing, explaining
and predicting phenomena, is called Methodology. Methods compromise the procedures used
for generating, collecting, and evaluating data. Methods are the ways of obtaining
information useful for assessing explanation.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
The type of research used in this project is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research
is essentially a fact finding related largely to the present, abstracting generations by cross
sectional study of the current situation .The descriptive methods are extensively used in the
physical and natural science, for instance when physics measures, biology classifies, zoology
dissects and geology studies the rock. But its use in social science is more common, as in
socio economic surveys and job and activity analysis.
Research is essentially creative and demands the discovery of facts on order to lead a
solution of the problem. A second limitation is associated whether the statistical techniques
dominate. The desire to over emphasis central tendencies and to fact in terms of Average,
Correlation, Means and dispersion may not always be either welcome.
This limitation arises because statistics which is partly a descriptive tool of analysis can aid
but not always explain casual relation.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is the specification of the method and procedure for acquiring the
information needed to solve the problem.
The research design followed for this research study is descriptive research design where we
find a solution to an existing problem. The problem of this study is to find the effectiveness
of Employees Safety & Health at Neycer India Limited.
This study was restricted to the blue collar employees. Out of the universe of 69 blue
collars, a sample of 100 respondents was selected by simple random sampling method. All
the opinions expressed herein are the contribution by the respondents only.
Survey method is considered the best method for data collection and the tool used for
data collection are Questionnaire. Private individuals, research workers, private and public
organizations and even government are adopting it. In this method a questionnaire is
collected through personal interview. A questionnaire consists of a number of question
involves both specific and general question related to Employees Safety & Health.
SOURCES OF DATA
The two sources of data collection are namely primary & secondary.
Primary data
Primary data are fresh data collected through survey from the employees using
questionnaire.
Secondary data
Secondary data are collected from books, internet and various journals, magazines
etc.
PERCENTAGE METHOD
In this project percentage method test and used. The following are the formula
In this project chi- square test was used. This test is used to test significance of

association between two attributes. Chi- square, symbolically written as (pronounce as
Ki- square), is a statistical measure used in the context of sampling analysis for
comparing a variance to a theoretical variance. Formula for finding chi square is
