1.1Introduction to study:

This project is the study of the workers health and safety. The worker is very

important part of any type of organization so their health and safety is also very

essential for the survival of business.

Worker’s health and safety should be taken care of in order to protect the workers

against accidents, un-healthy working conditions and to protect workers capacity.

Health and safety policies and programs are concerned with the protecting

workers and other people affected by what the company produces and does- against

the hazards arising from their employment or their links with the company.

Occupational health program deal with the prevention of ill-health arising from

working conditions. They consist of two elements- Occupational medicine and

occupational hygiene.

Safety programdeal with the prevention of accidents and with minimizes the

resulting loss and damage to persons and property. They relate more to systems of

work than the working environment, but both health and safety program are

concerned with protection against hazards, and their aims and methods are clearly

inter-linked.

This part deals with the services provided by the HR department in order to help

the organization meet its legal and social responsibilities to ensure a healthy and safe

place of work, to help employees cope with their personal problems, to help elderly

and retired employees and, in some cases, to make recreational facilities available.

The achievement of a healthy and safe place of work and the elimination to the

maximum extent possible of hazards to health and safety are the responsibility of

everyone employed in an organization, as well as those working there under contract.

The importance of healthy and safe policies and practices is, sadly, often under-

estimated by those concerned with managing businesses and by individual managers

within those businesses.

1.4: Research Methodology

In order to collect the required information systematic Methodology of data collection

is necessary. Therefore the researcher under this study used the following

Methodology for data collection. Questionnaire had selected as research instrument.

1.4.1 Research method: Sampling Method.

1.4.2Data Collection:

The information is collected from the company itself. The data regarding production

process, development stages, data related statistical analysis, operation performance

are collected by two ways:

1) Primary Data:

Primary data means the data which is fresh as morning tea. The data which is

personally collected by the researcher is nothing but the primary data is collected by

following ways.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


i)Questionnaire:-

“The survey method is used to collect the data used in the project report. The

technique of collecting data is by asking questions to the managers and workers of

Kirloskar EBARA Pumps Ltd, Kirloskarwadi.

ii) Personal Discussion:-

Discussion with HR manager on the premises was done to collect the data.

iii) Observation:-

Some things are analyzed by personal observation.

2) Secondary Data:

`The Secondary data means the data that are already available or collected; it may be

published or unpublished data. In this study the researcher used published manual and

unpublished data from personal records of company. Secondary data are collected

through,

Office records

Books

Internet

Brochures.

1.5: Limitations of the Study

1. Time span available was limited because the time allocated for the study was only

50 days and it is very difficult to study all the aspect of the problem within such a

short period.

2. It is difficult to select the workers from huge employees.

3. To take interview of the employees was the most difficult talk in this project as

many of them did not co-operate.

4) Due to busy schedule of the workers, managers in the organization it becomes

difficult to collect the data

5) Geographically it is restricted to kirloskarwadi.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


2.1 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:

HRM means to Select, Develop, Motivate and Maintain human resources, in the

organization. It first selects the right human resources or staff (i.e. managers and

employees). It trains and develops them. It motivates them by giving them recognition

and rewards. It also provides them with the best working conditions.

HRM is directly concerned with the "people" of the organization. It is people oriented

process. That is, it manages people at work.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that

focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who

work in the organization. HRM can also be performed by line managers.

Definition of Human Resource Management:-

HRM as “planning, organizing, directing, controlling of procurement, development,

compensation, integration , maintenance and separation of human resources to the end

that individual, organizational and social objectives are achieved".

By- Edwin Flippo.

It is also applicable to non-business organizations, such as education, healthcare, etc.;

Human Resource Management is defined as the set of activities, programs, and

functions that are designed to maximize both organizational as well as employee

effectiveness

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.

2.2Health and Safety:-

Employee health and safety are the areas of major concern in modern industrial

organizations and for promoting healthy and safe environment. Interest and concern is

shown by employers, employees and their unions, government, and public and

international organizations. Both complex technologies and governmental legislation

have levied a special burden upon employers to maintain the physical and mental well

being, health and safety of their employees.

Health and safety is a highly regulated area and should be a priority for the board.

Putting employees, customers and others at risk by not following the rules can amount

to a criminal offence, with the potential for substantial (possibly multi-million pound)

fines for the company, and fines and/or imprisonment for individual directors and

employees.

These provisions related to cleanliness, disposal of waste and influents, ventilation

and temperature, dust and fume, artificial humidification, overcrowding, lighting,

drinking water public utility and spit tens. Provisions relates to safety measures

include fencing of machinery, work on or near machinery in motion, employment of

young person’s on dangerous machines, streaking gear and services for cutting off

power, self acting machines, easing of new machinery probation of employment of

women and children near cotton openers hoists and lifts, lifting machines chains,

roaps and lifting tackles, revolving machinery, pressure plant, floors, excessive vaits,

protection of eyes, precautions against dangerous fumes, explosive or inflammable

dust, gas etc. precautions in case of fire, power to require specifications of defective

parts of tests of stability, safely of buildings and machinery etc.

2.3 Concept of Health:

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

absence of illness.

“The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete

physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or

infirmity.”

The well being of the employee in an industrial establishment is affected by accidents

and by ill health physical as well as mental. We shall discuss the need for healthy

workers and health services to be provided by the management to ensure the

continuing good health of there employees.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


We propose to examine employee health from the following angles: physical health,

mental health, noise control, stress management, alcoholism, and drugs abuse and

violence in work place.

1) Physical Health:-

Ill 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 employee’s are more productive, more safety 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:-

In recent years mental health of employees, particularly that of executives, has

engaged the attention of employees. Three reasons may be given for this

development.

i) Mental breakdowns are common in modern days because of pressures and tensions.

i) Mental disturbances of various types results in reduced productivity and lower

profits for the organization.

iii) Mental illness takes its toll through alcoholism, high employee turnover, and

power human relationships.

3) Noise Control:-

Noise control and age old problem, and not effectively tackled till now, is the noise in

industrial establishments. Noise made its appearance in organizations when human

started working on mental. As civilization advanced, human discovered more and

more ways of having machines to do his or her work, and each new machine added to

the problem. For quite a number of years, noise was injured by all. But, in the recent

past, the increasing use of machines of great speed is telling upon the health of the

workers.

4) Work stress:-

Stress is an individual response to a disturbing factor in the environment and the

consequences of such reactions. Stress obviously involves interaction of the person

and the environment. Quote a definition “stress is an adaptive response to an external

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


situation that results in physical psychological and/ or behavioral deviations for

organizational participants. The physical or psychological demands’ from the

environment that cause stress are stressors. They create stress or the potential for

stress when an individual perceives them as representing a demand that may exceeds

that person’s ability to respond.

Stress can manifest its self in both in positive and negative. Stress is said to be

positive when the situation offers an opportunity for one to gain something. Estruses

are the term used to describe positive stress. Eustress is often used viewed as

motivator since in its absence the individual lacks that age necessary for peak

performance. It is negative when stress is associated heart disease, alcoholism, drug

abuse, marital breakdown, absenteeism, child abuse and a host of other social,

physical, organizational and emotional problems.

1) Alcoholism, Smoking, and Drug Abuse:-

Alcoholism is a serious and widespread disease. It does not strike any particular

group- alcoholism can strike employees from the janitor to the general manager. The

effects of alcoholism on the worker and on the work are serious. Both the quality and

quantity of work decline sharply.

Drug abuse is a recent phenomenon and is a serious one. Drug usage usually falls into

one of their categories: marijuana abuse, prescription drug abuse and hard-drug abuse.

Drug abuse is more evident among young employees and is found across all job

levels. Employees who are drug addicts are often much more difficult to detect than

alcoholics-liquor is easy to smell but not drugs.

Drug abuse affects job performance. The problem of a drug addict indicates his or her

on-the-job behavior.

Smoking claims millions of precious human lives across the globe each year. In the

past, employers had restricted employees smoking in order to reduce risk from fire or

to comply with hygiene standards. As of now, organizations are exhibiting genuine

concern and are initiating steps to check smoking at workplace. Many of them have

adopted no smoking policies and are spreading awareness among employees to give

up smoking some employers offer smoking cessation workshop as part of health

promotion efforts.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


2) Violence in the Work Place:-

Violence in the work place, once an exception to daily work life, has become common

these days. Those who are at high risk are taxi drivers, police officers, and retail

workers, cashers at petrol pumps, and people who work alone or at night. Violent

incidents include fist fights, shooting, stabbing and sexual assaults.

Violence disrupts productivity; causes untold damage to those exposed and cost

employers millions of rupee. Obviously, organization should initiate measures to

protect employees and physical resources. It is important that companies concentrate

on avoiding violence rather than simply dealing with it after it occurs.

The joint I.L.O. /W.H.O. Committee an Organizational Health observes that

organizational health, industrial health is:

1. The prevention and maintenance of physical , mental and social well-being of

workers in all occupations;

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

3. Protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors

adverse to health; and

4. Placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment

adapted to his physical and psychological equipments.

Thus, the concept of health is a positive and dynamic concept and implies more than

an absence of illness. The basic objective of industrial health is the protection of

disease and injury rather than the cure of disease. It involves a program of health

conservation and prevention of occupational disease.

2.4 Five Reasons to Offer Health Benefits to Employees

Health benefits are an important part of most employees' benefits packages, which

explains why around ninety eight percent of large businesses offer them to their

workers. While small and mid-sized businesses offer them less frequently – only

seventy five percent of mid-sized business have health benefits – it is still important to

consider as an option. Health benefits and retirement funds are consistently the top

two employee valued benefits and depending upon the survey you look at, either of

the two take the top spot. While offering health benefits is an expense some

companies want to avoid, there are a number of reasons that you should consider

offering health benefits to your employees. Here are five of them.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


1) Attraction –

Today's job market is fiercely competitive, and getting the best new hires is an

important part of any company's business strategy. Health benefits are something that

many new hires look for today, especially as the costs of health care continues to

skyrocket. If you want to attract the best employees to your workforce, offering health

benefits is one of the best ways to do so.

2) Retention –

Of course, attracting great employees is only half of the battle. You need to keep them

on your team once you hire them, and health benefits will do just that. Since a recent

survey reported that almost ninety percent of employees with health benefits stated

they would begin seeking employment elsewhere if they lost their health benefits, it's

obviously within your best interests to offer them. Without them, your workers will

likely be eyeing other positions that can give them the health coverage they need.

3) Morale and Productivity –

While it's obviously related to retention, it's important to note that morale and

productivity are closely tied to the happiness of your employees. Letting them know

that you value them and their contributions to your team is important, and health

benefits are one of the best ways to do so. Knowing that they have health benefits

thanks to you will help them stay happy and loyal and work harder for your company

than they would without health benefits or other incentives.

4) Compliance –

While the government is still arguing over the specifics, the truth is that many

companies will likely have to offer some level of health benefits to their employees.

Currently the plan is somewhat complex in terms of regulations and qualifications,

but at its essences most businesses will need to give their employees health benefits in

the future. Complying now can save you the hassle down the road.

5) Simplicity –

Finally, it's important to note that health benefits are easier to offer and manage than

many people might realize. Some companies don't offer health benefits due to costs or

management concerns, but finding an affordable health benefits policy is easier than

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


you might think. And with health benefits management programs from Unicorn HRO,

setting up and maintaining health. Benefits information is much easier than many

employers even realize.

If you want to give your employees the best you can, health benefits are the solution.

Not only will they receive very real benefits from them, but your company will

benefit as a whole also.

2.5 Importance of Health and Safety:

1) Importance of health and safety is great in influencing productivity and overall

efficiency of an organization.

2) Health and safety measures are also significant in reducing and preventing

industrial accidents.

3) Health and safety measures also boost morale of employees. This helps in

developing team spirit and the sense of belongingness among the employees

as they see no hazards to their lives and health.

4) Industrial health and safety programmes are useful and beneficial from the

point of view both employers as well as employees as there are a reduction in

the rate of labour turnover, absenteeism and occupational diseases.

Several other benefits like reduced spoilage, longer working period of an

individual and improved performance are also important results of industrial

health and safety. Overall discipline and sense of contentment thus prevails in

the organizational climate with healthy and safe working environment.

Realizing the importance of industrial and occupational health, the ILO.

Recommendation NO. 112 were adopted in 1959. It envisages that:

“Occupational health services should be established in or near a place of employment

for the purpose of:

i. Protecting the workers against any health hazards arising out of work

conditions in which it is carried on;

ii. Contributing towards worker’s physical and mental adjustment; and

iii. Contributing to establishment and maintenance of the highest possible degree

of physical and mental well-being of the workers.”

Employee health service may range from the provision of simple facilities for first-aid

at one extreme to the provision of complete medical care for employees and their

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


dependents at the other. Its proper scope depends upon the size, needs, location and

financial facilities of each organization.

Every organization can derive significant benefits from a good employee health and

safety program since it increases employee efficiency, employee productivity,

employee morale, employee interest, employee loyalty and decreases employee

tardiness, apathy, absenteeism, labour turnover, lost time, accident frequency, and

compensation costs.

2.6 Safety:-

“Every twenty seconds of every working minute of every hour throughout the

world, someone dies as a result of an industrial accident.” This was how the

seriousness of industrial accidents was described by the Director- General of the

British Council, in his message of good wishes to the Seventh National Conference on

Industrial Safety and Health organized by the National Safety Council, India.

Thousands of employees throughout the world lose their fingers, eyes, limbs, and

their lives, everyday. Much blood flows in the sewers of industrial establishments.

The perils inherent in industrial work have made the life of the worker very cheap.

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 accidents, 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.

2.6.1Need for Safety:-

An accident free plant enjoys certain benefits. Major ones are substantial

savings in cost, increased productivity, and meeting legal and moral requirements.

1) Cost saving-

Two types of costs are incurred by the when an accidents occurs. There are the direct

costs, in the form of compensation payable to the depends of the victim if the

accidents is fatal, and not liable to meet the direct cost. If the victim is insured under

the ESI schemes. When the victim is uninsured, compensation and medical expenses

are the responsibility of the management. The is the cost of risk management, which

the manager must bear.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


A safety plant, by avoiding accidents, eliminates these direct and

indirect costs.

2) Increased Productivity:-.

Safety plants are efficient plants. To a large extent, safety promotes productivity.

Employees in safe plants can devote more time to improving the quality and quantity

of there output and spend less time worrying about there safety and well being.

3) Moral:-

Safety is important on humanely grounds too. Managers must undertake accidents

prevention measures to minimize the pain and suffering the injured worker and his or

her family are often exposed to as a result of the accidents. And employee is a worker

in the factory and the bread-winner for his or her family. The happiness of his or her

family depends upon the health and well-being of the worker. It is no secreting that

the dependents of a worker look forward to his or her reaching home safe everyday.

Imagine there agony when they receive the news that the hands, legs, eyes, hands, or

the life it self of there bread- winning has been in jeopardy. True, a fatal or non fatal

injury entitles his or her dependents or him to monitory compensation, as per the

workmen’s compensation act, 1923.

4) Legal:-

There are legal reasons too for undertaking safety measures. There are laws

covering occupational health and safety, and penalties for non-compliance have

become quite severe. The responsibilities extend to the safety and health of the

surrounding community, too. The Supreme Court held:

An enterprise which is engaged in a hazards or inherently dangerous industry

which poses a potential threat to the health and safety of the person 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

hazards or inherently dangerous nature. This implies unlimited liability.

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.

Finally, financial losses which company accidents can be avoided if the plant is

accident free.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


2.7 Industrial Accidents:

In the modern complex technological environment there are many potentially

dangerous health hazards that result in accidents. Industrial accidents are extremely

costly in both economic and human terms. In addition to the economic and morale

considerations, there are also legal obligations to ensure the health, safety and welfare

of people at work. Even a minor accident may bring down the morale of workers and

in addition result in power production.

The word “accident” means any unplanned and uncontrolled event which results in

damage, whether through injury or disease to an employee.

Under the Factories Act, 1948, an industrial accident has been defined as “an

occurrence in an industrial establishment causing bodily injury to a person who makes

him unfits to resume his duties in the next 48 hours.

2.7.1 Causes of Accidents:

Several authors discuss in different manner the causes of accidents. It is convenient to

examine the causes at two levels:

1) Physical Causation Factors-

Accidents most frequently take place when people are handling and lifting goods and

materials, are working with machinery, fall from heights or on same level, are hit by

falling objects, bumps into or step on objects, are using hand tools, or come into

contact with works transport. There are two possible causative factors that contribute

to such accidents

a. Environmental Factors-

It include unsafe or badly maintained machinery, highly polished and slippery floors,

floors covered with torn or loose carpets, protruding surfaces, rickety steps or

dangerous openings, unsafe building, telephone cables trailing on the floor, bad

lighting, furniture and equipment improperly placed, untidy workplace, faulty

electrical connections, faulty and tools, left open cabinet drawers, fire hazards,

uncovered edges of equipments can all play their part in contributing to accidents and

injuries at work.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


b. Work Process Factors-

It refers to the way in which the work has to be done. The design of the job may

create hazards; for instance, the cleaning or maintenance of machinery while it is in

use, the lack of suitable seating, the need to carry or lift heavy objects, and processes

which involve handling of dangerous substances.

2) Underlying Causation factors-

It is rightly observed that first we develop habits, and then they develop us. Our

ancestry and upbringing make us what we are. The faults that we develop are certain

personality weaknesses like recklessness, nervousness, excitability, greed, ignorance,

and so on. These results in committing unsafe acts or allowing dangerous situations to

arise. Unsafe acts may be the result of lack of knowledge or skill on the part of the

employee, certain bodily defects and wrong attitudes. Personal characteristics like

tendencies to take risk can also result in unsafe acts. Other possible causes may be

failure to follow safety rules and procedures, and reluctance to use safety equipments

or haste on the part of the employee.

3.8 Prevention of Accidents / Measures for Ensuring Safety:

Every year millions of people are injured in accidents at work and may never recover

fully their health and strength. They and their families of those who die can never be

adequately compensated for their loss. Moreover the lost time and sick pay,

compensation payments and medical treatment, replacement labor and “hidden” costs

add up to a formidable financial total. The cost of accidents in industry is borne by the

society in general and the consumers in particular. Industrial accidents sometimes

may affect the general public adversely like in the case of the Bhopal gas leak

tragedy. Thousands of people were killed and several thousand became disabled in

these accidents. Thus, it becomes extremely essential to make strong efforts to prevent

accidents, to eliminate hazards, and to take proper measures for ensuring safety in the

interest of employees, employers and the society at large.

Basically it is an important to note that the key to accident prevention lies in creating

a climate of opinion from top to bottom in the organization where the safe way of

doing things is the right or the only way to do things. Efforts should be made to

introduce this sort of attitude in the several ways.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


1) Creating Safety consciousness:

In order to create safety consciousness, there are several techniques that can be used

to try to persuade people at all levels that safety makes sense. Safety campaigns can

be useful in producing short term as well as long term effects.

i. Posters-

Visual reminders like posters and hoardings may be displayed at the critical points.

Slogans like “work Safety” “Safety Saves” displayed at the workplace may serve to

draw people’s attention to the need to take car. These may be effectively used by

changing the places and slogans so as to catch frequently the attention of people and

to ensure that the message is registered.

ii. Safety contents-

Safety contents may also be held between the plants and plant with the lowest

accident rate may give some recognition and reward.

iii. Films-

Appropriate films and videocassettes that depict a set of circumstances to which

employees can readily relate could create good impact and convey the message

effectively.

iv. Exhibitions-

These are very useful in showing people the actual consequences of accidents which

have happened. Various things could be effectively displayed like photographs of the

sense immediately following an accident. Collection of damaged tools and clothing,

picture of those who have suffered injury etc. The fear techniques and shocks tactics

may create an immediate reaction and people may resolve to tale more care.

v. Strict discipline-

Conventional method has been to lay down strict rules in relation to safe working

practice and to punish those who show deviant behavior and do not confirm with the

rules. However this is a negative approach to teach people a lesson; and hence may

not be effective.

vi. Discussion-

This could be a positive approach involving participation of people to understand the

way they view the question of safety. Especially discussion and films could be

combined to persuade people to express their own views and examine them critically.

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


vii. Role-play techniques-

Perhaps this is the most effective way to change attitudes towards safety, on a more

long term basis, as an employee is encouraged to think himself into the role of

another. Several situations and several roles could be used effectively where an

employee learns to convince and persuade himself while trying to convince and

persuade others.

All these methods and their different combinations can help to create the will to be

safe; and this will achieve much to eliminate hazards and to reduce specific accident

causation factors.

2) Making People Safe:

In addition to the positive desire to be safe, individual employee must know how to

work safely.

i. Newcomers-

They should be given proper job training that revolves around the safe way of doing a

job, not just the quickest or easiest way.

ii. Experienced Workers-

They should be given training to unlearn their bad habits and to learn habits and

motions that will keep them out of danger with safe work practices.

iii. Supervisors-

Training programmes should be suitably designed for supervisors so that they can

advise on safe working practices and can ensure that this is followed.

iv. All employees-

Every employee must be properly educated and trained to spread safety

consciousness.

3) Making the Job Safe:

This should be done by reducing or eliminating the hazards that affect the work

process. Industrial engineers should be engaged to redesign and improve the

equipment, machinery and work procedures to cut down accidents rates. Workers

should be strictly made to perform the job only after the wearing protective things like

hand gloves, masks, helmets, safety footwear etc.

Total loss prevention is yet another new concept regarding safety, and accident

prevention. Here, one has to investigate all sources of loss, damage to plant and

A.G.I.M.S, Sangli.


property, fire, security, health hygiene, environmental pollution, and liability arising

from defective products, as well as personal injuries. Thus, it will be possible to

uncover the parts of the work process which are causing loss. This helps rectifying

them before they cause serious personal injury.

4) Making the Environment Safe:

This calls for regular inspection of machines and equipment and electricity cables to

check any leakage. Also important are regular maintenance checks of the building,

floors, passages, stair cases etc. Formalized procedures like safety sampling may be

useful since safety defects are pointed out by trained observers in a given time.

Along with physical environmental aspects, special attention should be given to the

psychological or human aspects of the environment. Personalities of managers and

supervisors must be assessed to determine how they affect the emotional adjustment

of their subordinates. In order to provide a healthy and safe environment, it is

important that the human factor or socio-psychological factors receive full attention of

management.

Safety and accident prevention are of prime importance to management and the

human resource managers are deeply involved in organizing and implementing a

safety and accident prevention program.
