    Chapter I

    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 efficiency 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 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

    the consideration of issues relating to occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology,

    education, engineering safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc.

    Occupational health issues are often given less attention than

    occupational safety issues because the former are generally more difficult 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 office, 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 often legal responsibility to protect

    workers.

    Health of the workers:

    Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the

    absence of diseases. Its a positive and dynamic concept which means something more than

    the absence of illness.

    Safety of the workers:

    Safety is a measures or techniques implemented to reduce the risk of injury, loss and

    danger to persons, property or the environment in any facility or place involving the

    manufacturing, producing and processing of goods or merchandise.

    CHAPTER - II

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    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

    safety programs is to promote a safer work environment for employees.

    Health and safety

    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 adapted to his or her physiological and psychological capabilities; and, to

    summarise, the adaptation of work to the person and of each person to their job.

    Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with

    protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The

    goals of occupational safety and health programs include to foster a safe and healthy work

    environments may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and

    many others who might be affected by the workplace environment.

    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

    affected by the companies undertaking remain safe at all times.

    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

    interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational

    hygiene, public health, safety engineering, industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics,

    ergonomics and occupational health psychology.

    Effective and clearly audible means of giving warning in the case of fire have to be provided.

    A free passage-way giving access to each means of escape in case of fire has to be

    maintained.

    Power to require specifications of defective parts or tests of stability (Sec 39):

    The factory inspector to serve on the manager of a factory to furnish specifications of

    defective parts or he may order the manager to carry out tests as he may specify and to inform

    him of the results.

    Safety of buildings and machinery (Sec 40):

    Every factory should adopt the measures to ensure the safety of the buildings and

    machinery. The factory must employ the required safety officers according to the number of

    workers working in the factory.

    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.

    Occupational accidents/disease:

    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.

  • A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 24

    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:

    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:

    Use a

    variety of

    sources for

    information

    about

    potential or

    existing

    hazards in

    your

    workplace

  • A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 25

    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.)

    Importance of management commitment on health and 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 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.

    A successful

    health and

    safety

    programme

    requires

    strong

    management

    commitment

    and worker

    participation

  • A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 26

    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:

    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:

    a) Recognize early signs/symptoms of any potential occupational diseases before they

    become permanent conditions.

    Effective

    training is

    a key

    component

    of any

    health and

    safety

    programme

  • A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 27

    b) Assess their work environment.

    c) Insist that management make changes before hazardous conditions can develop.

    Health and safety programmes:

    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.

    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.

    d) There is an active and effective health and safety committee that includes both

    workers and management.

    e) Worker health and safety efforts are ongoing.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE FROM JOURNAL AND ARTICLES:

    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.

    3) Conor CO Reynolds; M Anne Harris; Peter A Cripton; Meghan Winters (2009)3,

    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 off-road bike paths) was associated with the

    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)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 1664 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 5160 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.

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 30

    occupational epidemiology, when considered from a gender perspective, are described.

    Classic occupational epidemiology has paid less attention to womens problems than

    mens. Research into work related gender inequalities in health has rarely considered

    either social class or the impact of family demands on mens 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.

    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.

    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

    3554 years were prospectively examined by serial annual health examinations. 424 men

    developed hypertension above the borderline level. After 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

    10.010.9 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.

    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 effective are, Selecting safer vehicles, Some particular driver

    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.

    relating to the potential effects 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 effects 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 sufficient evidence to raise concerns

    about the risks to health and safety of long working hours.

    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.

    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

    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.

  • A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 36

    DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH AIMS AT

    To portray the characteristics of a particular individual situation or group(with or

    without specific initial hypothesis about the nature of this characteristics).

    To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is

    associated with something else( usually , but not always ,with a specific initial

    hypothesis).

    The descriptive method has certain limitation; one is that the research may make description

    itself an end itself.

    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.

    DESIGN OF DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES:

    Descriptive studies aim at portraying accurately the characteristics of a particular

    group or solution. One may under take a descriptive study about the work in the factory,

    health and welfare. A descriptive study may be concerned with the right to strike, capital

    punishment, prohibition etc.

    A descriptive study involves the following steps:

    1. Formulating the objectives of the study .

    2. Defining the population and selecting the sample .

    3. Designing the method of data collection .

    4. Analysis of the data .

    5. Conclusion and recommendation for further improvement in the practices.

    DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 37

    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.

    UNIVERSE AND SAMPLING:

    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.

    DATA COLLECTION METHOD

    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

    Percentage of Respondent = No. of Respondent x 100

    Total no. of Respondent

    CHI - SQUARE Analysis

    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 2 (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

    2 = (O-E)2/ E

    In this study chi-square is to find the association between respondents

    gender and respondents accident proneness, respondents accident proneness and enough

    training for the employees & employees work load and the approach of the organization .
