INTRODUCTIONDue to rapid industrialization, industrial workers are exposed to several types of hazardsand accidents. Every year lakhs of workers are injured due to mechanical, chemical, electricalandradiationhazardsandit leadstopartial ortotal disablement. Soinrecent years, greaterattention is given to health and safety due to pressure from government,trade unions, labourlaws and awareness of employers.he efficiency of workers depends to a great extends on the environment in which thework. !ork environment consists of all the factors, which act and react on the body and mind ofan employee. he primary aim is to create an environment, which ensures the greatest ease ofwork and removes all causes of worries."ccupational health and safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specializedfields. #n its broadest sense, it should aim at$a% hepromotionandmaintenanceofthehighest degreeofphysical, mental andsocialwell&being of workers in all occupations.b% hepreventionamongworkersofadverseeffectsonhealthcausedbytheir workingconditions.c% he protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverseto health.d% heplacingandmaintenanceof workersinanoccupational environment adaptedtophysical and mental needs.e% he adaptation of work to humans.Successful occupational health and safety practice re'uires the collaboration andparticipation of both employers and workers in health and safety programmes, and involves theconsideration of issues relating to occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology,education, engineering safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc. "ccupational health issues are often given less attention than occupational safety issuesbecause the former are generally more difficult to confront.
