 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This is a research conducted on HSW Measures (Health, Safety and Welfare) that are followed
at KENNAMETAL INDIA LIMITED which is basically a manufacturing company

In today’s corporate world Welfare of the employees Heath of the employees and Safety of the
employees are very much important and it also benefits the company and increases the
productivity. Factories Act 1948 gives detailed information with regard to Employees Health,
Safety and Welfare measures that a Factory should follow.

For a company to be successful, employee’s satisfaction towards HSW are the key aspects. The
satisfaction among employees depicts whether they are happy with the current policies followed
by the company. The success of any manufacturing company will be based on the workers,
employees will be considered as an asset to the organization. Any slight damage caused to the
employee within the premises will lead to major effects.

This topic was chosen because, as it is a manufacturing company, the chances of accidents are
more. Even a small negligence may lead to high impacts and dangerous consequences.

From this survey, it was understood that very few accidents are met in the company premises and
almost all employees are aware of the HSW measures that the company is following. As per the
overall response of the employees, they are very much satisfied with the policies and practices
followed by Kennametal India Limited in order to protect their employees and safeguard them.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Introduction about the topic

The study was conducted in Kennametal India Limited, Bangalore to find the effect of HSW
measures of employees at workplace.

The research was conducted in order to check satisfaction level of the employees on the
measures taken by the company and how they boost the employee’s morale.

This study indicates the satisfaction among the employees with regard to HSW measures.

DEFINITIONS:

Employees Health implies ''the arrangements guaranteeing the health of laborers in the in the
conditions under which work is carried on the mechanical offices.''

Employees Safety implies ''the exercises that look to limit or to take out risky conditions that
can cause real damage''. Word related safety is worried about dangers in zones where individuals
work; workplaces, producing plants, ranches, development locales, and business and retail
offices, open safety is worried about perils in the home, in movement and amusement and in
different circumstances that don't fall inside the extent of word related safety.

Employees Welfare implies ''the push to make life worth living for laborers''. At the point when
every single fundamental office are given and employees get fulfillment then the profitability can
be expanded and advancement of the association will be conceivable.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE

Industrial production first started in 19th century. It generally replaced the the
manufacture of the goods by hand by craftsmen. The 'Industrial Revolution' which discovered its
origin in the new production strategies was made conceivable through, among different factors,
the inventions of the steam engine and the electric motor. These allowed the mechanization of
the power wellspring of production machines.

In the metalworking industries the development of machine tools started around then. In India
machine tools were manufactured in arly 1890, however quality was poor and needed
standardization. After 1930 machine tools of a reasonably good quality started to be delivered in
India principally by PN DATTA and company in Calcutta, Cooper engineering works at Satara
and the Indian machinery company at Dasanagar in Calcutta. These enterprises which were the
pioneer of machine tools making in India made for the most part sliding, surfacing and screw
cutting lathe of the head stock types. Be that as it may, every one of the enterprises experienced
the competition from built up makers in England.

Growth and development

The outbreak of World War II, India turned into the primary base of supply and production of
raw materials for the British and the allies' army in east. There were tools, in spite of the fact
that, import of machines tools proceeded on a reduced scale. All through 1936 and 1940 the
situation ended up expanding more precarious.

In India machine tool industry started with a production of Rs. 1 crore in 1956 and its output
touched Rs. 1200 crore in 1995; the growth in this sector averaged to 18% during the 70s and
13% during the 80s and fell to minus 18% during 1993 due to recession. In 1995 the growth rate
touched 15%. The production in this sector is expected to reach a level of Rs. 3000 crore by the
year 2000. In 1994 India ranked 18th among major machine tools producing nations. This sector
has an investment base of Rs.700 crore for manufacturing facilities. Automobile and Defence
Sectors have played key roles in sustaining the industry's growth.

ORGANIZATION PROFILE

Background of the Company

Earlier in 1926, the Krupp group of Industries West Germany, created tungsten carbide
economically without precedent for the world. The substance was observed to be hard as
diamond and could even substitute it in numerous applications. So the name WIDIA was
instituted from WIE-DIAMANT German for 'like diamond'.

WIDIA (INDIA) LIMITED was started in Karnataka having its registered office and was
registered on 21st September 1964 with collaboration from KRUPP WIDIA which is in GmbH
West Germany for technical and financial assistance

Keeping a track with modernization and emerging trends the products were introduced. They
decided to manufacture machine tools including CNC machines

Widia was acquired by Kennametal situated in US on 30th August 2002 which was the top
company then.

Widia was later named as Kennametal India Limited which has now turned into a pioneer in
metal Industry.

Kennametal is deliberately sorted out along three worldwide specialty units' metal working
arrangement and administration group. Propelled materials arrangements group and full

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND& LITERARTURE REVIEW

Page 19
2.1 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

FACTORIES ACT OF 1948

In India first Factories Act was passed in 1881. Later the First Factories Act was followed by
new Acts in 1891, 1992 and 1934. With an intention of developing modern activities in the
Country one more Act was passed in 1948. This Act of 1948 came to action from the First day of
April in the year 1949.

Objective of the Factory Act 1948

 To protect the workers who are employed in Factories or Manufacturing sectors against
Industrial Hazards.
 To oblige the owners to secure the working conditions of the workers in order to protect
the Employees Health and Safety.

HEALTH, SAFETYAND WELFARE MEASURES

The Act makes provisions under Chapter III, IV and V of the Act with respect to different issues
identifying with health, safety and welfare of the laborers. These provisions force upon the
occupiers or supervisors certain obligations.

- To shield workers from accidents, and

- To secure for them in employment, conditions helpful for their health, safety and welfare.

Page 20
2.2 LITERATURE REVIEW

1. Todd [1933] -‘societywwelfare’ broke down that the work welfare is the voluntary efforts
of the employers to build up, inside the current industrial framework, working and at
times living and cultural conditions of the representatives past what is required by law, the
custom of the industry and the conditions of the market.

2. Alexander and Michael [1998]- ‘Employmentssafety’ The audit concentrated vigorously

on distributed reports, fundamentally drawn from the period 1980 through 1996, wherein
training was utilized as an intercession push to lessen danger of business related damage
and malady. Eighty (80) such reports were found and gave overpowering proof to
demonstrate the benefits of preparing in expanding specialist learning of employment
dangers, and in affecting more secure work rehearses and other positive activities in a
wide exhibit of worksites. Reports from select overviews and examinations of laborer
wounds and work environment fatalities were likewise gotten to with numerous involving
absence of preparing as a contributing variable to the disasters.
3. Jane et.al.[2001] - ‘Employment0health0and0safety0after0privatization’ the paper states
that whether work status after employment misfortune because of privatization impacts
health and utilization of health administrations and whether money related strain,
psychosocial measures, or health related practices can clarify any discoveries. The finish
of the examination is Insecure re-business and joblessness after privatization result in
increments in minor mental horribleness and interviews with a general specialist, which
are conceivably because of the expanded minor mental dreariness .

4. Sabarirajan,Meharajan.t [2001] - ‘EmployeeeMorale’ analyzed the investigation on

specialist welfare in Textile industry. The investigation shows that 15% of the laborers are
representatives are content with their welfare measures.39 % of the representatives is ordinary
with their welfare measures. 16% of them are in significantly disappointed level. This examination
hurls light on the impact of welfare measures on QWL among the specialists of material
production lines in Salam region." While portraying the Welfare in Indian INDUSTRIAL
SECTOR

Page 21
5. Ken.w[2007] - ‘Uncertainty-WelfareeEconomicssof/Medical6Care’ the objective of this
research project was to develop a formal safety program that addresses these problems,
then to develop a method to promote the new program. The development of the new
program was to be accomplished by analyzing the current safety program and comparing
this program to others that the consultant had developed, and similar industries. As a
result of the review of the current program, it is recommended by the consultant that the
current program not be scrapped in favor or a new program. It would be more beneficial to
modify the current program rather than to attempt to start over with a new safety program.

6. Abdullah, Spickett, Rumchev&Dhaliwal [2007]- ‘laborrsafety&and 9measures’ study

on organizational factors on safety in Taiwan and Japan reported that the impact of
organizational factors in the two nations were diverse because of disparate culture. For
instance, they discovered that Taiwanese leadership style was "Top-Down Directive"
where top management conveyed safety strategies and associated with safety exercises
while Japanese safety leadership was more focused on "Bottom-Up
Participative" where top management promoted representatives' investment in any safety
exercises.

7. Ragin [2007]- ‘Employeeehealth/0&0safety’ health and safety is a widespread component

that should be contemplated particularly in little and medium enterprises as it is turning
into a noteworthy issue for employers on the planet. Tailor (1998) continues including that
health and safety of specialists in little and medium endeavors has long being dismissed in

 the findings, it shows that when good health and safety practices are not put in place,
accidents ,major and minor injuries can happen, and it is what most of the employees in
other companies have so far experienced. This implies that if health and safety is not
managed effectively, both the two parties being employees and the organization would
suffer because for the organization to function effectively, it needs employees and for the
people to survive, they need to work

 Not all departments have Washroom facilities. Departments such as Stores, Purchases
must be provided with the Washroom Facility
 There are many women employees. But when compared to male employees, female
employees are very less. To create a comfortable working environment, more number
of women employees must be hired.
 As per Apprentice, especially ITI Apprentice. Accommodation and transportation
facility should be provided by the company as the stipend provided to ITI Apprentice
is 7000 per month. And it is very difficult for apprentice to lead a normal life with that
stipend.
