8. 8 CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION
9. 9 CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION : Due to
rapid industrialization, industrial workers are exposed to
several types of hazards and accidents. Every year lakhs of
workers are injured due to mechanical, chemical, electrical
and radiation hazards and it leads to partial or total
disablement. So in recent years, greater attention is given to
health and safety due to pressure from government, trade
unions, labour laws and awareness of employers. The
e!iciency of workers depends to a great extends on the
environment in which the work. Work environment consists of
all the factors, which act and react on the body and mind of an
employee. The primary aim is to create an environment,
which ensures the greatest ease of work and removes all
causes of worries. Occupational health and safety is a
discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized
fields. In its broadest sense, it should aim at: 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 e!ects 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 the
consideration of issues relating to occupational medicine,
industrial hygiene, toxicology, education, engineering safety,
ergonomics, psychology, etc.
10. 10 Occupational health issues are o"en given less
attention than occupational safety issues because the former
are generally more di!icult to confront. However, when health
is addressed, so is safety, because a healthy workplace is by
definition also a safe workplace. The converse, though, may
not be true - a so-called safe workplace is not necessarily also
a healthy workplace. The important point is that issues of
both health and safety must be addressed in every workplace.
Work plays a central role in people's lives, since most workers
spend at least eight hours a day in the workplace, whether it is
on a plantation, in an o!ice, factory, etc. 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 o"en legal
responsibility to protect workers. 1.2 WHAT IS SAFETY ? Safety
refers to the absence of accidents. Stated di!erently, safely
refers to the protection of workers from the danger of
accidents. Safety, in simple terms, means freedom from the
occurrence or risk of injury or loss. Industrial safety or
employee safety refers to the protection of workers from the
danger of industrial accidents. An accident, then is an
unplanned and uncontrolled event in which an action or
reaction of an object, a substance, a person, or a radiation
results in personal injury. 1.3 TYPES OF ACCIDENTS : Accidents
are of di!erent types. They may be classified as major and
minor ones, depending upon the severity of the injury. An
accident which ends in a death, or which results in a
prolonged disability to the injured is a major one. A scratch or
a cut which does not seriously disable him/her is a minor
accident, but an accident nevertheless. A mere incision or a
deep scratch, say, on the leg or the shoulder, may or may not
immediately disable the worker, but he or she may develop
disability later. Again, a wound which may disable one worker
may not disable another who receives a similar injury. An
accident may be internal or external. If a worker falls, or an
object falls on him or her, it is possible he or she may show no
external signs of injury, but he or she may have fractured a
bone or strained a muscle or nerve- which is an internal injury.
A worker may be disabled by an injury for hour, half a day, a
day, a week, a month, or a few months. If he or
11. 11 she recovers from such a disability, his or her disability
is temporary. If the injury is such that he or she will never
recover fully, his or her disability is permanent. 1.4 NEED FOR
SAFETY : (1) Cost Saving : Two types of costs are incurred by
the management when an accident occurs. There are the
direct costs, in the form of compensation payable to the
dependents of the victim if the accident is fatal, and medical
expenses incurred in treating the patient if the accident is
non-fatal. The management, however, is not liable to meet the
direct costs if the victim is insured under the ESI scheme.
When the victim is uninsured, compensation and medical
expenses are the responsibility of the management . More
serious than the direct costs are the indirect or hidden costs
which the management cannot avoid. In fact, the indirect
costs are three to four times higher than the direct costs.
Hidden costs include loss on account of down-time of
operators, slowed-up production rate of other workers,
materials spoiled and labour for cleaning and damages to
equipment. (2) Increased Productivity : Safety plants are
e!icient plants. To a large extent, safety promotes
productivity. Employees in safe plants can devote more time
to improving the quality and quantity of their output and
spend less time worrying about their safety and well-being.
(3) Moral : Safety is important on human grounds too.
Managers must undertake accident prevention measures to
minimise the pain and su!ering the injured worker and
his/her family is o"en exposed to as a result of the accident.
An employee is a worker in the factory and the bread-winner
for his/her family. The happiness of his/her family depends
upon the health and well-being of the worker. (4) Legal : There
are legal reasons too for undertaking safety measures. there
are laws covering occupational health & safety, and penalties
for non-compliance have become quite severe. The
responsibility extends to the safety and health of the
surrounding community, too. The supreme court held : An
enterprise which is engaged in a hazardous or inherently
dangerous industry which poses a potential threat to the
health and safety of the persons working in the factory and
industry in the surrounding areas, owes an absolute and non-
delegable duty to the community to ensure that no harm
results to anyone on account of the hazardous or inherently
dangerous nature. this implies unlimited liability.
12. 12 The civil law establishes the extent of damages or
compensation. In the criminal law, sentences are prescribed
under the pollution control laws. There is no legal ceiling on
the extent of liability. 1.5 HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK :
According to Cole (2002), employer has a common law duty to
provide a safe place of work for his or her employees and is
liable at common law for accidents encounter by his or her
employees in the course of their employment. The duties
(regarding health and safety) which employer owes his or her
employees basically include the following: The provision of
a safe place of employment. The provision of safe means of
access to work. The provision of safe systems of working.
The provision of adequate equipment, materials and clothing
to enable employees to carry out their work safely. The
provision of competent co-workers. A duty of care to ensure
that employees are not subjected to any unreasonable risks in
the workplace. 1.6 BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE HEALTH & SAFETY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM : The components of e!ective health
and safety management system are briefly explained below:
(1) Management Leadership & Organizational Commitment :
For this system to be e!ective, management must show
leadership and commitment to the program. To achieve this,
management should put the organization’s expectation
around health and safety into writing by developing a health
and safety policy. Employees who forms part of the health and
safety committee, should be involved in writing the policy,
and to be signed by senior operating o!icer, to indicate the
commitment of management. (2) Roles & Responsibilities :
Clearly defined and well communicated health and safety
roles and responsibilities for all levels of the organizations will
create an expectation of a standard level of performance and
accountability among employees, contractors, and visitors. All
levels must be aware of their individual roles and
responsibilities under both state law and company standards.
(3) Management Commitment : For a health and safety
management system to be e!ective, management at all levels,
should demonstrate their support of the health and safety
program. This may be demonstrated
13. 13 through management, participation in health and
safety leadership training meetings, facility inspections
incident investigations etc. (4) Employee Participation : It is
important for workers to be involved in the development of
the system in order to create ownership as well as help a
better fit with the culture of the organization. (5) Hazard
Identification & Assessment Process : Employers are required
to assess a work site for existing and potential hazards before
work begins. Hazard assessment data could be used to
determine what worker–training needs to be done, and to
build the content of employee orientations and job training
hazard assessment data could be used as the basis for
inspection checklists. In the case of incident investigation,
hazard assessment and control data can be used to help
determine if a system failure was the cause of an incident. (6)
Determine Controls : Address identified hazards by assigning
methods of control to eliminate or reduce the hazard. The
most e!ective controls can be determined based on legal
requirements, manufacturers’ specifications, company rules,
industry best practices, and worker inputs. (7) Hazard Control
: Once the hazard assessments are completed, the next step in
the development of health and safety management system is
the implementation of control measures to eliminate or
reduce the risk of harm to workers. In this case, employers
should take all reasonable steps to eliminate or control
identified hazards in order to make the workplace safer. (8)
Enforcement of Controls : To enforce control methods,
develop a constructive enforcement policy, and communicate
the consequences to employees and the steps that will be
taken if noncompliance occurs. (9) Emergency Response Plan :
A serious emergency (Such as explosion, fire, or flood) could
seriously a!ect the operation of a business and put the health,
safety, and livelihood of many employees in jeopardy. The
best health and safety management system cannot protect
your company from all natural or unexpected disasters;
however, having a good emergency response plan (ERP) in
place can reduce the severity and risk of loss. Knowing what
to do and who to contact can save lives and reduce costs if
disaster should strike.

employ the required safety o!icers according to the number
of workers working in the factory. (20) Power to Make Rules
(Sec 41) : The state government has the power to make rules
to supplement the provisions relating to safety contained in
the Act. 1.8 WHAT IS HEALTH : Health is a state of complete
physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the
absence of diseases. It’s a positive and dynamic concept
which means something more than the absence of illness. (1)
Physical Health : The health of employees results in reduced
productivity, high unsafe acts, and increased absenteeism. A
healthy worker, on the other hand, produces results opposite
to these. In other words, healthy employees are more
productive, more safe conscious, and are more regular to
work. The worker who is healthy is always cheerful, confident
looking and is an invaluable asset to the organization. (2)
Mental Health :
17. 17 In recent years, mental health of employees,
particularly that of executives, has engaged the attention of
employers. Three reasons may be given for this development.
First, mental breakdowns are common in modern days
because of pressures and tensions. Second, mental
disturbances of various types result in reduced productivity
and lower profits for the organization. Third, mental illness
takes its toll through alcoholism, high employee turnover, and
poor human relationships. A mental health service is generally
rendered in the following ways : (i) Psychiatric counselling. (ii)
Co-operation and consultation with outside psychiatrists and
specialists. (iii) Education of company personnel in the
manner and the importance of mental health. (iv)
Development & maintenance of an e!ective human relations
programme. 1.9 IDENTIFYING HAZARDS IN THE WORKPLACE :
Some occupational diseases have been recognized for many
years, and a!ect workers in di!erent ways depending on the
nature of the hazard, the route of exposure, the dose, etc.
Some well-known occupational diseases include : a)
Asbestosis (caused by asbestos, which is common in
insulation, automobile brake linings, etc.) b) Silicosis (caused
by silica, which is common in mining, sandblasting, etc.) c)
Lead poisoning (caused by lead, which is common in battery
plants, paint factories, etc.) d) Noise-induced hearing loss
(caused by noise, which is common in many workplaces,
including airports, and workplaces where noisy machines,
such as presses or drills, etc.) 1.10 IMPORTANCE OF
MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT ON HEALTH & SAFETY : 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 e!ort to create and
maintain a safe and healthy workplace. An e!ective
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
18. 18 from top to bottom need to be clear, and workers
should know who is responsible for di!erent health and safety
issues. 1.11 STATUTORY PROVISIONS OF HEALTH IN INDIA :
According to factories Act, 1948, the statutory provisions
regarding the health of the workers are stated in the sections
11 to 20. They are (1) 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. (2) Disposal of Wastes and
E!luents (Sec 12) : The waste materials produced from the
manufacturing process must be e!ectively disposed of
wastes. (3) Ventilation and Temperature (Sec 13) : There must
be provision for adequate ventilation for the circulation of
fresh air. The temperature must be kept at a comfortable level.
Hot parts of machines must be separated and insulated. The
State Government may make rules for the keeping of
thermometers in specified places and the adoption of
methods which will keep the temperature low. (4) Removal of
Dust and Fumes (Sec 14) : If the manufacturing process used
gives o! injurious or o!ensive dust and steps must be taken
so that they are not inhaled or accumulated. The exhaust
fumes of internal combustion engines must be conducted
outside the factory. (5) Artificial Humidification (Sec 15) : The
water used for this purpose must be pure. The State
Government can frame rules regarding the process of
humidification etc. The water used for humidification shall be
taken from a public supply or other source of drinking water
and must be e!ectively purified before use. (6) Overcrowding
(Sec 16) : There must be no overcrowding in a factory. In
factories existing before the commencement of the Act there
must be at least 9.9 cubic meters of space per worker. For
factories built
19. 19 a"erwards, there must be at least 4.2 cubic meters of
space. The chief inspector of factories can also prescribe the
maximum number of workers who can work in each work
room. (7) Lighting (Sec 17) : Factories must be well lighted.
E!ective measures must be adopted to prevent glare or
formation of shadows which might cause eye strain. (8)
Drinking water (Sec 18) : Arrangements must be made to
provide a su!icient supply of wholesome drinking water. All
supply points of such water must be marked “drinking water”.
No such points shall be within 20 ". (or 7.5 meters) of any
latrine, washing place etc. Factories employing more than 250
workers must cool the water during the hot weather. (9) Toilet
Facilities (Sec 19) : Every factory must provide su!icient
number of latrines and urinals. There must be separate
provisions for male and female workers. Latrines and urinals
must be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. In factories
employing more than 250 workers, they shall be of prescribed
sanitary types. (10) Spittoons (Sec 20) : A su!icient number of
spittoons must be provided at convenient places, in a clean
and hygienic condition. The State Government may take rules
regarding their number, location and maintenance. 1.12
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMME : E!ective 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 e!ects on both
worker morale and productivity, which are important benefits.
At the same time, e!ective 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. a) Workplace hazards are controlled - at the
source whenever possible. b) Records of any exposure are
maintained for many years. c) Both workers and employers
are informed about health and safety risks in the workplace.
20. 20 d) There is an active and e!ective health and safety
committee that includes both workers and management. e)
Worker health and safety e!orts are ongoing. CHAPTER- 2

24. 24 CHAPTER -3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
25. 25 CHAPTER -3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 1) Johannson B;
Rask K; Stenberg M (2010), this study was to carry out a broad
survey and analysis of relevant research articles about piece
rate wages and their e!ects on health and safety. A total of 75
research articles were examined extensively and 31 of these
were found relevant and had su!icient quality to serve the
purpose of this study. The findings of these relevant articles
are summarized and analyzed 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
e!ects of piece rates on di!erent aspects of health and safety
does not prove causality, but together they give very strong
support that in most situations piece rates have negative
e!ects on health and safety. 2) Tompa, Emile PhD; Dolinschi,
Roman MA; de Oliveira (2009), 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. 3)
Conor CO Reynolds; M Anne Harris; Peter A Cripton; Meghan
Winters (2009), Bicycling has the potential to improve fitness.
Understanding ways of making bicycling safer is important to
improving population health. We reviewed studies of the
impact of transportation infrastructure on bicyclist safety. To
assess safety, studies examining the following outcomes were
included: injuries; injury severity; and crashes. Results to date
suggest that sidewalks and multi-use trails pose the highest
risk, major roads are more hazardous than minor roads, and
the presence of bicycle facilities (e.g. on-road bike routes, on-
road marked bike lanes, and o!-road bike paths) was
associated with the
26. 26 lowest risk. Street lighting, paved surfaces, and low-
angled grades are additional factors that appear to improve
cyclist safety. 4) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta
Escriba-aguir; Lorena Cascant (2009), 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 di!ered 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 di!erent health
indicators among men and women could be explained by
their role as the family breadwinner. 5) Dee W. Edington;
Alyssa B. Schultz (2008), 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),
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
e!ect on practitioners confronted with safety issues.
27. 27 7) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta Escriba-aguir;
Lorena Cascant (2007), 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
occupational epidemiology, when considered from a gender
perspective, are described. Classic occupational epidemiology
has paid less attention to women’s problems than men’s.
Research into work related gender inequalities in health has
rarely considered either social class or the impact of family
demands on men’s health. The analysis of work and health
from a gender perspective should take into account the
complex interactions between gender, family roles,
employment status and social class. 8) Shouji Nagashima;
Yasushi Suwazono; Yasushi Okubo; Mirei Uetani (2007), 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-shi" 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. 9) L Ala-Mursula; J Vahtera; A
Kouvonen; A Vaananen; A Linna (2006), The associations of
working hours (paid, domestic, commuting, and total) with
sickness, absence, and to examine whether these associations
vary according to the level of employee control over daily
working hours. The study among 25,703 full-time public
sector workers in 10 towns in Finland. Long domestic and
total working hours were associated with higher rates of
medically certified sickness absences among both genders.
Low control over daily working hours predicted medically
certified sickness absences for both the women and men. In
combinations, high control over working hours reduced the
28. 28 adverse associations of long domestic and total
working hours with medically certified absences. Employee
control over daily working hours may protect health and help
workers successfully combine a full-time job with the
demands of domestic work. 10) A Baker; K Heiler; S A
Ferguson (2002), 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 di!erent 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 e!ects 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.
11) N Nakanishia; H Yoshidaa; K Naganoa; H Kawashimob; K
Nakamurac (2001), to evaluate the association of long working
hours with the risk of hyper-tension. The work site is in Osaka,
Japan. 941 hypertension free Japanese male white collar
workers aged 35–54 years were prospectively examined by
serial annual health examinations. 424 men developed
hypertension above the borderline level. A"er controlling for
potential predictors of hypertension, the relative risk for
hypertension above the borderline level, compared with those
who worked < 8.0 hours per day was 0.48, for those who
worked 10.0–10.9 hours per day was 0.63. These results
indicate that long working hours are negatively associated
with the risk for hypertension in Japanese male white collar
workers. 12) N. Haworth; C. Tingvall & N. Kowadlo (2000), In
response to an increasing awareness of the role of work-
related driving in crashes and the related costs, many private
and government organisations have developed programs to
improve fleet safety. The purpose of this project is to
investigate the potential to introduce road safety based
initiatives in the corporate environment. From the review, that
the fleet safety initiatives which have potential to be e!ective
are, Selecting safer vehicles, Some particular driver training
and education programs, Incentives, Company safety
programs. It is assumed that the degree
29. 29 of influence is likely to decrease as the type of vehicle
moves from the fleet towards the private end of the
continuum. 13) Graves carol gevecker; Matanoski genevieve
m; Tardi! robert g (2000), 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), 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 di!icult 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.
15) A Spurgeon; J M Harrington; C L Cooper (1997), The
European Community Directive on Working Time, which
should have been implemented in member states of the
European Community by November 1996. This paper reviews
the current evidence relating to the potential e!ects on health
and performance of extensions to the normal working day.
Research to date has been restricted to a limited range of
health outcomes--namely, mental health and cardiovascular
disorders. Other potential e!ects
30. 30 which are normally associated with stress--for example,
gastrointestinal disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and
problems associated with depression of the immune system,
have received little attention. It is concluded that there is
currently su!icient evidence to raise concerns about the risks
to health and safety of long working hours. 16) Simon Chapple
and Tracy Mears (1996), 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-e!iciency reasons for
government involvement in workplace safety and health.
However, while markets may not be e!icient, 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), The scientific
literature regarding preventive occupational Health and
Safety Activities in Small Enterprises has been reviewed in
order to identify e!ective preventive approaches and to
develop a future research strategy. There is a lack of
evaluation of intervention studies, both in terms of e!ect and
practical applicability. However, there is su!iciently strong
evidence to conclude that workers of small enterprises are
subject to higher risks than the larger ones, and that small
enterprises have di!iculties in controlling risk. The most
e!ective 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. 18) International Council on Nanotechnology,
Rice University, The report, "Current Knowledge and Practices
regarding Environmental Health and Safety in the

existing e!orts to develop "best practices." This report finds
that e!orts to catalogue workplace practices have not
systematically documented current environment, health and
safety practices in a variety of
31. 31 workplace settings and geographies. Moreover, it finds
that some existing documents are not publicly available. 19)

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH STUDY:
37. 37 Health and Safety measures are inevitable to any
organization where workers are involved. It’s an organization’s
responsibility to provide to its workers beyond the payment of
wages for their services. The worker’s health and safety on
and o! the job within the organization is a vital concern of the
employer. The working environment in a factory adversely
a!ects the worker’s health and safety because of the excessive
heat or cold, noise, odors, fumes, dust and lack of sanitation
and pure air etc., which leads to accident or injury or
disablement or loss of life to the workers. Providing a health
and safer environment is a pre-requisite for any productive
e!ort. These must be held in check by providing regular
health check-up, protective devices and compensatory
benefits to the workers. This research deals with the study on
the health and safety measures provided to the workers at
Innovative Cuisine Private Limited. 4.11 LIMITATION OF THE
PROPOSED RESEARCH STUDY: The sample size selected by
the researcher is limited. The study is applicable only to
Wheels India ltd, Padi, chennai. Therefore the results cannot
be generalized for the whole industry. The time factor in
collecting the responses as in conducting the research study
would be limiting factor. The respondents were unable or
unwilling to give response. CHAPTER–5

66. 66 They have to provide e!ective arrangements to the
workers for communicating their health and safety matters.
It is better to provide frequent health and safety training, at
least once in a year. The company has to provide enough
drinking water facility available at all the time. The
management has to take necessary steps to reduce the stress
level of the workers. Orientation programmes can be
conducted to make the workers to feel that their work
environment is safe to work. The maintenance department
has to maintain the machines properly to reduce lead-time.
Proper training has to be given to the workers to avoid
frequent accidents. Meditation practices can be given to
avoid electric shocks, finger injuries etc. due to lack of
concentration. Safety committee has to be formed to
monitor the health and safety issues. The company has to
conduct the regular inspections to ensure higher level of
safety in the workplace. Cordial relationship has to be
maintained between the management and the workers to
implement the health and safety policies and measures in a
smooth manner. CONCLUSION : It is revealed from the study
that, the health and safety measures adopted in Innovative
Cuisine Pvt. Ltd. are provided to the workers according to the
provisions of the factories Act. It reveals that the awareness of
the workers about health and safety in the workplace is
inadequate. Also repeated accidents like electric shocks,
finger injuries are
67. 67 occurred in the workplace. Suitable ideas were
suggested to avoid those accidents and to improve the health
and safety measures. The role of management in
implementing health and safety in the organization is very
e!ective. Most of the workers were satisfied with the health
and safety measures adopted in the company. If the company
implements e!ective disciplinary procedures; it will help the
company to go with their policies and also to maintain health
and safety in the organization. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Arun
