ABSTRACT

This study is an outcome of the title called “A study on Effectiveness of

Employees Safety and Health” with reference to Rane Madras Limited which has undertaken

at Rane Madras Limited.

Employees Safety and Health look upon prevention of accidents basically as an

engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of mechanical safety devices. In

fact, accident prevention and safety are inter related and, therefore require a multi dimensional

approach. Its importance has increased because of large-scale industrialization in which

human beings are subjected to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards. .”

Total population is 369; from that 100 employees were selected using simple

random sampling method and a well structured questionnaire was framed in order to extract

the required information from the respondents. Questionnaires were collected through

personal interview.

The various statistical tools like percentage method, chi square test and

correlation analysis were used in this study. The findings of the study reveal that major cause

for the work place accident is unsafe handling of material. So the vestibule training method

can be included in employee training program. Ergonomics method enables better employees

safety and health.

factors for improving employees safety and health with the help of

suggestion and conclusion

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 INTRODUCTION

EMPLOYEE SAFETY

Since the begging of the present century, employee safety and health problems at work

have been engaged attention of the psychologists, sociologists and the industrial engineers.

Psychologists are concerned with the theoretical considerations of accident causation and the

research into accident control, through proper selection, training and the education of the

employee; and the social and psychological factors that influence the individual’s behaviour

in general. Engineers and safety officers usually render necessary practical advice on certain

aspects of safety in industry. They look upon prevention of accidents basically as an

engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of mechanical safety devices. In

fact, accident prevention and safety are inter related and, therefore require a multi dimensional

approach. Its importance has increased because of large-scale industrialization in which

human beings are subjected to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards.

Besides, modern industry is characterized by complicated mechanisms, intricate job

requirements, and fast moving production lines. One of the important consequences of all this

is increased dangers of human life, through accidents.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT AND INDUSTRIAL INJURY

The life of the industrial workers is full of risk and hazards. The injuries may be

caused as a result of any unsafe activities, or act of

their part or chance occurrence or as a result of some unsafe work condition or unsafe act of

employees themselves, or defective plant or shop layout, inadequate ventilation , unsafe and

insufficient space for movement inside the plant or shop, etc.

An industrial accident may be defined as,” an occurrence which interferes with the

orderly progress of work in an industrial establishment”. According to Factories Act of 1948,

it is “an occurrence in an industrial establishment causing bodily injury to a person for which

him unfit to resume his duties in the next 48 hours.” In other words it is an unexpected event

which is neither expected nor designed to occur . It is always sudden for a gradual process

does not constitute an accident. Moreover, the event or occurrence should be something to

which a definite time, data and place can be assigned.

An industrial injury has been defined as “ a personal injury to an employee which has

been caused by an accident or an occupational disease, and which arise out of ,or in the course

of, employment , and which would entitle such employee to compensation under the

Workmen’s Compensation Act , 1923”.

NATURE OF ACCIDENT

The nature of an accident may vary from industry to industry. The employee may fall

from a height while engaged on a particular assignment; or he may be caught in a machine

while working on it; or he may fall against a machine; or parts of a machine having a

horizontal protruding motion may cause strike against him; or an explosives used carelessly

may explode, and injure an employee. Such accidents may result in disablement or death.

Disablement¬- whether partial or total – may take a form of a loss of ability to work

or to move. Such incapacity may be partial or total. Both types of disablement may be

temporary or permanent.

A temporary partial disablement reduces the earning capacity of an individual in the

employment in which he was engaged when he sustained an injury at the time of

accident.

Permanent partial disablement reduces his ability to earn an income from any

employment which he was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident occurred.

Total disablement , on the other hand, is a disablement, whether temporary or

permanent, which incapacitates a workman and makes it impossible for him to engage in any

work.

CAUSES OF ACCIDENT

Nature and causes of accident may vary from organization to organization. Basically

industrial accidents will arise either due to technical faults or due to human follies or errors.

Therefore the causes of accidents may be attributed to work related causes and worker related

causes.

1. Work related Causes

Unsafe working conditions are the prime causes for any industrial accident and these

include all engineering deficiencies. These mainly include improper lighting, inadequate

safety devices, polluted work place, poor machine guarding and unsafe and careless

housekeeping. These factors will create psychological and physical problems for the workers

and will invite industrial accident.

2. Worker related Causes

These are human factors responsible for accidents due to their unsafe acts. Lack of

adequate skill or knowledge in handling the machine, disturbed mental condition, neglecting

safety devices and instruction, using unsafe machine, working at unsafe speed are some of the

causes due to which workers become victims as industrial accidents.

PROVISIONS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS IN WORK PLACE

It is important for an organization to ensure safe working conditions in order to

prevent accidents at the workplace. In India there are a number of statutory provisions that

provide safety working conditions for the workers. The Factories Act secures health, safety,

welfare, proper working hours, leave and other benefits for the workers employed in the

factories. In other words the act is enacted primarily with the objective to regulate the

conditions of work in manufacturing establishments.

INDUSTRIAL HEALTH:

The term “Health” is a positive and dynamic concept and implies more than an

absence of illness. The W.H.O has defined health as:” a state of complete physical, mental

and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Industrial health

refers to a system of public health and preventive medicine which is applicable to industrial

concerns. According to the joint I.L.O / W.H.O. committee on organizational health,

industrial health is

The prevention and maintenance of physical, mental and social well beings of workers

in all occupations.

Prevention among workers of ill health caused by the working conditions.

Protection of workers in their employment from risk resulting from factors adverse to

health.

Placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his

physical and psychological equipment.

The basic objective of industrial health is the prevention of disease and injury rather than

the cure of disease. It involves a programme of health conversation and prevention of

occupational diseases. Veil observes that the aim of industrial hygiene is’ the promotion and

maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well being of the workers;

the prevention of factor which make for ill health in their working condition; their protection

in their occupation from risks arising from factors which are adverse to the maintenance of

health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment which is

adapted to his psychological and physiological equipment; and to summaries, the adaptation

of work to man and each man on his job.

PREREQUISITES FOR AN EFFECTIVE SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY

For a safety and health program to be successful an organization should:

Have the support and guidance pf top management in the implementation of safety

policy.

Educate and train employees about the safety policy and the importance for an

organization. Even the workers at the lowest operating level should have a clear

understanding 0of the methods and procedures to be followed to ensure safety at the

workplace.

Make safety and health an important aspect of organizational culture so that it

pervades all the functions and the levels of the organization.

Appoint a safety director to ensure that the safety programs are progressing in

accordance to the set directions.

Have a safety engineering process that includes designing of new products, processes

and machines, structuring the layout of plants and equipment, providing safety devices

for employees working on hazardous jobs, keeping the work place clean, well lit and

properly ventilated, maintaining a well designed system for detection, prevention and

control of fire, dust fumes, inflammable gases and explosives.

Conduct an organization wide audit to ensure the implementation of the safety policy

and strict adherence to all the safety rules.

Keep a track of the accidents that take place so that they can be avoided in the future.

It is not necessary that all the organization have the above mentioned elements for the

implementation of safety policy. However, if they are taken into consideration,

accidents can be avoided.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION IN THE WORK PLACE

Let us discuss some of the important steps that an organization has to take in

implementation safety and health programs to prevent accidents at the workplace and provide

a safe working environment for its employees. When an organization is successful in

implementing the following steps, the accident rate will be automatically decrease.

Educating and training the employees

Frequent inspections by the top management

Tabulating and analyzing the causes of accidents

Conducting regular employee wellness program

Designing mental health program

Making the right start and get going

Apart from the above mentioned steps it is also the duty of the employer to understand

the following issues:

Importance of reasonable hours of work

Unduly long hours of work can damage an employee’s health and can result in

fatigue and poor concentration. Hence it is important to define the number of hours of

work

Rest pauses or breaks in working hours

Introduction or rest pauses for short periods can solve the problem of fatigue in a

very large measure.

Holidays and leave with pay

Adequate provision of holidays and leave with pay to workers can help in reducing

absenteeism, stress and labor turnover. At the same time, the provision of excessive

holidays is likely to hinder production and increase the financial burden of the

organization.

Enforcement and Disciplinary Action

If an employee does not adhere to the safety policy being implemented by the

organization, the organization should as the first step, educate him on the impending hazards

of a careless approach to work. Employees can also be encouraged to implement safety policy

by rewarding the units/groups with good safety records. Employees who have been alert in

preventing accidents and active in spreading health and safety awareness can also be

rewarded.

If an employee still fail to heel to safety advice, the next step is to enforce disciplinary

action. To enforce safety measures in some organization, employees are either reprimanded or

fined and sometimes even discharged if they are found guilty of any serious violation of

safety provisions.

Nine surveys were found that measured the patient safety climate of an organization.

All used Likert scales, mostly to measure attitudes of individuals. Nearly all covered five

common dimensions of patient safety climate: leadership, policies and procedures, staffing,

communication, and reporting. The strength of psychometric testing varied. While all had

been used to compare units within or between hospitals, only one had explored the association

between organizational climate and patient outcomes.

2.2.2 Relative Effectiveness of Worker Safety and Health Training Methods

Michael J. Burke, PhD, Sue Ann Sarpy, PhD, Kristin Smith-Crowe, PhD, Suzanne

Chan-Serafin, BA, Rommel O. Salvador, MBA and Gazi Islam, BA

As training methods became more engaging (i.e., requiring trainees’ active

participation), workers demonstrated greater knowledge acquisition, and reductions were seen

in accidents, illnesses, and injuries. All methods of training produced meaningful behavioral

performance improvements.

2.2.3 The Ecology of Work and Health:

Research and Policy Directions for the Promotion of Employee Health

Daniel Stokols, PhD ,Kenneth R. Pelletier, PhD, MD ,Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, MBA

This article identifies new research and policy directions for the field of worksite

health in the context of the changing workplace.

These directions are viewed from an ecological perspective on worksite health and are

organized around three major themes: (1) the joint influence of physical and social

environmental factors on occupational health, (2) the effects of non occupational settings

(e.g., households, the health care system) on employee well-being and the implications of

recent changes in these settings for worksite health programs, and (3) methodological issues

in the design and evaluation of worksite health programs. Developments in these areas

suggest that the field of worksite health may be undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift

away from individually oriented wellness programs (provided at the worksite and aimed

primarily at changing employees' health behavior) and toward broader formulations

emphasizing the joint impact of the physical and social environment at work, job-person fit,

and work policies on employee well-being.

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”.


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.

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.

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 Rane Madras Limited.

UNIVERSE AND SAMPLING:This study was restricted to the blue collar employees. Out of the universe of 369 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.

STATISTICAL TOOLS USED

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 χ 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

χ 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 .

CORRELATION ANALYSIS

Correlation Analysis is a statistical technique used to measure the magnitude of

linear relationship between two variables. Correlation Analysis is not used in isolation to

describe the relationship between variables. To analyze the relation between two

variables, two prominent correlation coefficient are used –the Pearson product correlation

coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient .

In this study the Pearson product correlation coefficient is used to find the correlation

coefficient between respondents awareness level at the time of joining with employees

participation in suggestion scheme & respondents awareness level at present and the

counseling .

This is also known as simple correlation coefficient and is denoted by “r”.The “r”

value ranges from -1, through 0, to +1.It is calculated using the formula

r = ∑ xy / √∑ x2.∑ y2

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The major cause for the workplace accidents that occur in the organization is unsafe

handling of material. So the vestibule training method can be included in employee

training program.

The frequency of safety training for the employees on safety and health can be altered

to monthly once instead of yearly twice.

Proper maintaining of adequate First aid facilities should be ensured.

The rest roam should be reconstructed with sufficient space and the sports center

facility can also be extended to temporary labours.

Ergonomics method should be followed. In an ergonomic workplace tools are

designed to fit individual capabilities and limitation so that people can do their job

without being injured.

Work environment causes number of problems, counseling enables to overcome

personal and technical problems.

A careful Pre employment and Post employment medical check up can also be

extended to temporary labours.

CHAPTER VII

CONCLUSIONS

This analysis will give a clear idea as to the situation of a large number of accidents

that occur in the organization and the steps that an organization should take to reduce these

accidents and to prevent them from occurring in future.

Some of the suggested measures for improving employees safety and health include

vestibule training method, first aid facilities, recreational facilities, counseling program, pre

employment and post employment medical check up for improving the effectiveness of

employees safety and health.

The findings of the survey will be utilized to bring about the necessary changes in

Employees Safety & Health procedures in the company.

The above concept could be better envisaged to bring about the better safety and health

for the employees by inculcating the concept of Ergonomics.
