Unfortunately in the middle of July 1983 there was a persistent labour unrest, which

brought down the performance of the mill. This situation gave way to sell the mill to Sri

Jatia and Somania group of Mumbai. At that time the mill was facing financial crisis due

to mismanagement and the besieged by labour problem. This culminated into stoppage of

the operation in the mill and ultimately the mill ceased to the function from July 1983.

The closure of the mill adversely affected the economy of Union Territory of

Puducherry and caused social problems. The representation of the jobless employee, public

and reports of the press made the government of puducherry to reopen the mill. It also

passed an act to nationalize the mill, which came into effect from 24 th December 1985.

(Thereafter it vested absolutely with the government of puducherry initially and

immediately, thereafter stands vested with Puducherry Textiles Corporation limited).

3. Unsafe environment.

1.1.8.4.1 Accident Investigation Report

13

The following is the sample of report noted during 2006 in Unit A of AFT is

considered for the cause of accidents.

Name: xxxxxx Code No.: xxxxx Category: Beam Carrier

Date: 05-06-2006. Place: Weaving Preparatory.

Report: When working as beam carrier and while removing the empty warp from the beam

stand, unfortunately the roll slipped and his right hand middle finger and ring finger were

caught in between the roll shaft and beam bracket and caused cut and bleeding injury.

1.1.8.4.1.1 Nature of Injury: Cut and bleeding injury (Right hand middle and ring

finger).

Investigation: The empty warp weighing about 100 kgs was lifted by two operatives one at

each end from the beam bracket. While carrying the empty warp, the flange of the beam at

one end was struck by the M.S. rail and due to this shock the man at the other end lost

control thereby got his right middle finger crashed against the bracket.

1.1.8.4.1.2 This has occurred due to the following reasons.

1. The injured person was not probably holding the beam shaft rigidly.

2. The other man did not lift the empty roll well above the M.S. rail so as to

avoid obstruction to the flange. This requires considerable strength in the

workmen.

1.1.8.4.1.3 Remedies

1. Every workman should be instructed about the possible dangers of the work.

14

2. Whenever huge weights are handles manually, persons of physical soundness

should be employed there on.

3. Lifting of heavy beams must be handled with the help of pulley.

1.1.8.5 Wet Drills

This is an exercise carried out by the coordinated activities of the personnel in

Engineering, Security and Personnel Departments. This is carried out to maintain the

preparedness for fire fighting. This is also called mock fire drill.

Once in a Quarter the security personnel are informed suddenly, break out of fire at

some department without prior intimation and the time is noted down, also the Engineering

department is informed the CSO arrives at this spot mentioned. The Security personnel are

expected to be present at the spot as soon as possible and arrange for extinguishing (mock

fire) by making ready with the fire hoses nozzles protective equipments etc.

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL SAFETY

Life of Industrial workers is becoming more and more prone to danger. The

Industries are becoming more in number, size and sophistication. Every year, lakhs and

lakhs of workers meet accidents in factories, mines and workshops leading to injuries,

permanent disabilities and sometime deaths.

Accidents may be caused by unsafe working environments, defective plant and

equipments, poor supervision, careless acts etc., Industrial safety management is a vital part

of the human resources management in any industry because it ensures job satisfaction, job

security and motivates the employees for higher productivity. Also, it helps in loss control

16

for the overall benefit of the organization. Hence, industrial safety is beneficial to the

workers as well as management.

1.2.1 SYNOPSIS

A good organization not only gives importance to the sales, profit, increase

production etc., but also provide safety measures to achieve the best results. This study

highlights the various safety activities carries out at the Anglo French Textiles PTC (LTD)

for the employees and the organization as a whole. Also, it would help the management to

know about the feelings of the workers about the safety measures.

Industrial engineers are concentrating their attention to improve the design of

workplace, layout, selection of equipment and machines. Employees also should lay

emphasis on safety measures in their plants.

Moreover, rules and regulations, laid down in the labour laws, make it obligatory on

the part of industrialist to provide certain minimum measures of safety to employees. This

study is based on collection of data from records of the Anglo French Textiles, Puducherry

and also personal interviews with the employees.

An organization is made up of four resources, namely men, material, money and

machinery. Of these, the first one is living one and the other three are non-living i.e., non-

human. It is the human or people that make use of non-human resources. Hence, people

are the most significant resources in an organization. It is man who makes all the

difference in organizations. According to Peter F. Drucker, “man, of all the resources

available to man, can grow and develop”. Human resources are heterogeneous in the sense

17

4.5.3 Chi-square analysis:

Chi-square analysis in statistics is to test the goodness of fit to verify

the distribution of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution.

Therefore it is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected

frequencies.

The formula for computing chi-square is as follows.

The calculated value of chi-square is compared with the table of chi-square

for the given degrees of freedom at the specified level of significance. If the

calculated value is greater than the tabulated value then the difference

between the observed frequency and the expected frequency are significant.

the degrees of freedom is (n-2) where ‘n’ is number of observed

frequencies and in case of contingency table the degrees of freedom is

(C-1) (R-1) where C is number of columns and R is number of rows.

CHAPTER – VI

6.1 FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

52

The most significant findings of the study are the high level of awareness about the

various available safety measures among all the classes of the respondents.

50 percentages of the employees lies above the age of 50 and their experience in

this organization is found to be above 20 years.

The training on safety and first aid are given to 70 percentages of the respondents.

The management’s conservancy in the case of accidents lies on the disability of the labors

and also the respondents are satisfied with the remedial measures taken by the organization.

The Working conditions provided by the organization are not up to the mark, and

the severities of the accidents caused are major. The major cause of the accidents is due to

the unsafe environment and the unsafe act of the labour.

45 percentages of the respondents says that the air pollution is the major disturbance

in their work atmosphere and the chemical content of the waste/Effluent are of permissible

limits.

The Byssionosis is the major disease which affects the most of the workers working

inside the organization.

Building and machinery not built safety. All the building and machinery are old

and there is lot of danger of human life or safety.

Above 60 percentages of the respondents feels that all the employees must be given

proper training on safety and first aid.

From the chi-square analysis it is found that there is no significant difference

between the training on safety and first aid provided by the organization and employees met

with any accidents.

53

From the chi-square analysis it is found that providing personal protective

equipments is one the methods to improve the safety inside the organization.

From the weighted average method it is found that the First-aid facility ranks first

among the various facilities provided by the organization.

6.2 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

54

1. The statutory provisions on safety are adequate for the time being. Effective

enforcement is the current need.

2. The organization should provide sufficient personal protective equipments to

employees working in all the departments.

3. Every fatal accident should thoroughly be enquired into and given wide

publicity among workers.

4. The Organization should arrange for the medical check- ups at regular period of

time.

5. If the Organization follows material handling principles and the machines are

guarded properly there is a chance to reduce majority accidents happening

inside their organization.

6. The factory inspectorate should advise and assist employers in drawing up

induction and training programme in safety.

7. Workers reluctance to use safety equipment either because it is inconvenient or

because it has been used by others should be removed through education.

8. Analyzing each accident and including what safety practice was violated.

Management must come forward to reward the department which considerably

reduced the number of accidents in addition to some financial incentive etc.

9. To reduce dust from the cotton good quality cottons may be used.

10. The using of exhaust fans will reduce the steam inside the weaving preparatory

department.

CHAPTER – VII

55

CONCLUSION

The Study on Industrial Safety Management in Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd.,

tells that most of the employees are dissatisfied with the safety management practiced

inside the organization. The organization has to concentrate more on safety measures and

can provide safety equipments like goggles, gloves, shoes, masks, etc., to improve the

safety inside the organization.

The safety training must be given properly and compulsorily to avoid accidents

inside the organization. The first aid training must be given to both the labour and

supervisors who are working in various departments. This will improve the safety of the

organization.

CHAPTER - VIII

56

8.1 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The time period of the study is short, so detailed study was not made.

Only certain factors are considered in this study to measure the Safety Measures

provided inside the Anglo French Textiles.

Some false information might be given by the employees due to fear of their

superiors.

8.2 SCOPE FOR FURTHER STUDY

57

The sample size taken for this study is only 100; it can be extended to a larger

sample.

The study can be done by considering some other factors to measure the Industrial

Safety Measures inside the Anglo French Textiles.

This study can be extended to measure the satisfaction level of employees on Health

and hygiene also.
