INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

Human are main resources of every organization. Without manpower management cannot do anything. So every organization must take care of this manpower resource therefore there must possess separate department for taking care of labour.

The sugar industry despite the many difficulties experienced in recent times continued to occupy prominent role. As human is an important asset of the organization then it become necessary to provide good working condition particularly those who work on complex machine? It is the duty of the organization to follow all the welfare facilities related rules and regulations given under the Factories Act 1948.

Welfare is main dynamic concept it includes various facilities provided towards the worker. “Prevention is better than cure”. By providing all the types of welfare facilities employee can motivate for higher efficiency ultimately it leading to more productivity.

As selected unit is sugar industry where the chances of the accident are more and workers are exposed to health hazards, it becomes necessary to management to give maximum facilities to avoid the accident and preserve the health and this is the reason why researcher has selected this topic in the sugar unit.

1.2 Objectives of Study:

1. To study health and safety facilities adopted in the factory.2. To study working conditions in the factory.3. To study problems about health and safety facilities in the factory.

1.3 SIGNIFICANS OF THE STUDY

The achievement of the highest standards of health and safety in the workplace is important because the elimination, or at least minimization, of health and safety hazards and risks are the moral as well as the legal responsibility of employers-this over-riding reason. Close and continuous attention to health and safety important because ill-health and injuries inflicted by the system of work or working condition cause suffering and loss to individuals and their departments. In addition accidents and absences through ill-health or injuries result in losses and damage for the organization.

CHAPTER-III

THEORETICAL

BACKGROUND

HAELTH AND SAFETY:

Safety and health policies and programs are concerned with protecting employees and other person affected by what company produce and does against the hazards arising from their employment or their links with company. Safety programs deal with the prevention of accidents and with minimizing the resulting and damage to person and property. They relate more to system of work than working environment, but both health and safety programs are concerned with protection against hazards, and their aims and methods clearly inter-linked.

MANAGING HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK

It is estimated by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that in the UK about 500 people are killed at work every year and several hundred thousand more are injured or suffer ill-health. It is also estimated that, apart from the pain and misery caused those directly or indirectly concerned, the total cost to British employers of work related injury and illness exceeds 4 billion a year.

The achievement of a health and safe place of work and 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 individual managers within those businesses. But it cannot be emphasized too strongly that the prevention of accidents and elimination of health and safety are a prime responsibility of management and managers in order.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE WORK PLACE

The achievement of the highest standards of health and safety in the work place is important because the elimination, or at least minimization, of health and safety hazards and risks are moral as well as the legal responsibility of employers this is the over-riding reason. Close and continuous attention to health and safety is important because ill-health and injuries inflicted by the system of work or working condition cause suffering and loss to individuals and their departments. In addition accidents and absences through ill-health or injuries results in losses and damage for the organization.

As managing health and safety at work is matter of:

Developing health and safety policies. Conducting risk assessments which identify hazards and assess the risk

attached to them. Carrying out health and safety audits and inspections. Implementing occupational health programs. Managing stress. Preventing accidents. Measuring health and safety performance.

Training in good health and safety practices. Organizing health and safety.

HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICIES

Written health and safety policies are required to demonstrate that top management is concerned about the protection of the organization’s employees from hazards at work and to indicate how this protection will be provided. They are, therefore, first, a declaration of intent, second, identification of the means by which that intent will be realized, and third, a statement of the guidelines that should be followed by everyone concerned-which means all employees-in implementing policy.

The policy statement should consist of three parts:

The general policy statement. The description of the organization for health and safety. Details of arrangements for implementing the policy.

The general policy statement

The general policy should be a declaration of the intention of the employer to safeguard the health and safety employees. It should emphasize four fundamental points:

That the safety of employees and the public are of paramount importance. That safety takes precedence over expediency. That every effort will be made to involve all managers, team leaders and

employees in the development and implementation of health and safety procedures.

That health and safety legislation will be compiled with in the spirit as well as the letter of the law.

Organization

This section of policy statement should describe the health and safety organization of the company through which high standards are set and achieved by people at the all levels in the organization.

This statement should be underlined the ultimate responsibility of top management for the health and safety performance of the organization.

It should then indicate how key management personnel are accountable for performance in their areas. The role of safety representatives and safety committees should be defined, and the duties of specialists such as the safety adviser and the medical officer should be summarized.

HEALTH AND SAFETY AUDITS

What is health and safety audit?

A safety audit will examine the whole organization in order to test whether it is meeting its safety aims and objectives. It will examine hierarchies, safety planning processes, decision making, policy making and implementation as well as all areas of safety program planning.

Who carries out a health and safety audit?

Safety audits can be conducted by safety adviser and/or personnel specialists but the managers, employees and trade union representatives are involved, the better. Manager can be responsible for conducting the audits within their department can be trained to carry out audit in particular areas.

What is covered by a health and safety audit?

A health and safety audit should cover:

Policies:

Do health and safety policies meet legal requirements? Are senior managers committed to health and safety? Is there and safety committee? If not, why not? How effective is the committee in getting things done?

Procedures:

How effectively do the procedure

Support the implementation of health and safety policies? Communicate the need for good health and safety practices? Ensure that accident is investigated thoroughly? Record data on health and safety which are used to evaluate performance

and initiate action? Provide safety training, especially induction training and training when jobs

or working methods are changed?

Safety practices:

To what extent do health and safety practices in all areas of the organization to confirm to the general requirements of the various regulation and codes of practice?

What risk assessment has been carried out? What were the findings? What action was taken?

How thoroughly are accidents investigated? What steps to be taken to prevent reoccurrences?

What is the evidence that managers and supervisors are really concerned about health and safety?

Safety inspections:

Safety inspections are designed to examine a specific area of the organization operational department or manufacturing process in order to locate and define any faults in the system, equipments, plant or machines or any operational error that might be the source of accidents.

The steps to be taken in carrying out safety inspections are as follows:

Allocate the responsibility for conducting the inspection. Define the point to be covered in the form of checklist. Divide department or plant in to areas and list the points to which

attendance to be given in each area. Use the checklist as the basic for the inspection. Carry out sample or spot checks on a random basis. Set up a reporting system (a form should be used for recoding the results of

inspection) Set up a system for monitoring that safety inspections are being conducted

properly. And on schedule and that corrective action should be taken where

necessary.

HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING

Health and safety training is key part of the preventative programs. It should take start as part of the induction course. It should also take place following a transfer to a new job or a change in working methods. Safety training spell out the rules and provides information on potential hazards and how to avoid them.

MEASURING HEALTH AND SAFETY PERFORMANCE

The saying that ‘if you can’t measure it you can’t manage it’ is totally applicable to health and safety. It is essential to know what happening, and it is even more essential to measure trends as a means of identifying in a good time where actions are necessary.

ACCIDENT PREVENTION

The prevention of accidents is achieved by:

Identifying the causes of accidents and the condition under which they are most likely to occur.

Taking account of safety factors at the design stage-building safety in to the system.

Designing safety equipments and pro active devices and providing proactive clothing.

Carrying out regular risk assessment audits, inspection and checks and taking action to eliminate risks.

Investing all accidents resulting in damage to establish the cause and to unsatisfactory trends.

Leadership and motivation encouraging methods of leadership and motivation that do not take place excessive demands on product.
