 PART – II – PROJECT STUDY

A Study on Safety and Welfare Measures

Provided to the Employees in Textile Industry in MAFATLAL INDUSTRIES

INTRODUCTION
Safety and welfare measures are inevitable to any organization where workers are involved. An
organization’s responsibility to its employees extends beyond the payment of wages for their services. The
employee’s safety and welfare on and off the job within the organization is a vital concern of the employer.
Welfare helps to improve employee retention and creating positive image for longer time period. It helps to
motivate and improve morale of the employees. Some of the facilities and services which fall within the
preview of labour welfare like adequate canteen facilities, accommodation arrangements, recreational
facilities, medical facilities and transportation. Providing a safe and healthy environment is a pre-requisite
for any productive effort.
Safety of Employees
Fencing of machinery-All dangerous and moving parts of machinery shall be securely fenced.
Screws, bolts and teeth shall be completely encased to prevent danger.
Work on or near machinery in motion-Lubrication or other adjusting operation on moving
machinery shall be done only by a specially trained adult male worker.
Employment of young person on dangerous machines-No young person shall be allowed to work
on any dangerous machine (so prescribed by the state government) unless he is sufficiently trained or
is working under the supervision of knowledgeable person.
Device for cutting off power-Suitable device for cutting of power in emergencies shall be provided.
Hoists and lifts-These shall be made of good material and strength, thoroughly examined at least
once in every six months and suitably protected to prevent any person or thing from being trapped.
Welfare of Employees
There shall be separate and adequately screened washing facilities for the use of male and female
employees.
There shall be suitable places provided for clothing not worn during working hours and for the dying
of wet clothing.
There shall be suitable arrangement for all workers to sit for taking rest if they are obliged to work in
a standing position.
There shall be provided the required number of first-aid boxes or cupboard (at the rate of one for
every 150 workers) equipped with the prescribed contents readily available during the working hours
of the factory.
The State Government may make rules requiring that in any specified factory employing more than 250
employees a canteen shall be provided and maintained by the occupier for the use of the employee.

 Principles of employee welfare service

32
 Following are generally given as the principles to be followed in setting up a employee welfare
service:
The service should satisfy real needs of the workers. This means that the manager must first
determine what the employee’s real needs are with the active participation of workers.

The service should be handled by cafeteria approach. Due to the difference in Sex, age, marital
status, number of children, type of job and the income level of employees there are large differences
in their choice of a particular benefit. This is known as the cafeteria approach. Such an approach
individualizes the benefit system though it may be difficult to operate and administer.

The employer should not assume a benevolent posture.

The cost of the service should be calculated and its financing established on a sound basis.
There should be periodical assessment or evaluation of the service and necessary timely on the basis
of feedback.

Types of Employee Welfare Services v Safety Services

The costs of accidents are enormous in suffering to the injured, in reduction or loss of earnings, in
disabilities and incapacities which afflict those involved and in compensation, insurance and legal costs, in
lost time, filling in reports and attending to enquiries, and in spoilage of materials, equipment and tools to
management.
Accidents are the consequence of two basic factors: technical and human. Technical factors include
all engineering deficiencies, related to plant, tools material and general work environment. Thus, for
example, improper lighting, inadequate ventilation, poor machine guarding and careless housekeeping are
some hazards which may cause accidents. Human factors include all unsafe acts on the part of employees.
An unsafe act is usually the result of carelessness.
 Components of a Safety Service
Among the many components of a safety service the following have proved effective when applied in
combination:

Appointment of safety officer

In big organizations, the appointment of a safety officer to head the safety department is a
must. In small organizations, the personnel manager may look after the functions of this department.
The head of the safety department, who is usually a staff man, is granted power to inspect the plant
for unsafe condition, to promote sound safety practices (through posters and safety campaigns), to
make safety rules, and to report violations to the plant manager.

Support by line management

The head of the safety department, whether enjoying a staff or a functional position by him,
cannot make a plan safe. His appointment lulls line management into assuming that all its safety
problems have been solved.

Elimination of hazards
Although complete elimination of all hazards is virtually an impossibility but following steps
can be taken to help reduce them:

Job safety analysis

All job procedures and practices should be analyzed by an expert to discover hazards. He
should then suggest changes in their motion patterns, sequence and the like.

33
 Placement
A poorly placed employee is more apt to incur injury than a properly placed employee.
Employees should be placed on jobs only after carefully estimating and considering the job
requirements with those which the individual apparently possesses.

Personal protective equipment

Endless variety of personal safety equipment is available nowadays which can be used to
prevent injure.

Safeguarding machinery
Guards must be securely fixed to all power driven machinery.

Materials handling
Though often ignored, the careless handling of heavy and inflammable materials is an
important source of several injuries and fire.

Hand tools
Minor injuries often result from improperly using a good tool or using a poorly designed tool.
Therefore, close supervision and instruction should be given to the employees on the proper tool to
use the proper use of the tool.

Safety training, education and publicity

Safety training is concerned with developing safety skills, whereas safety education is
concerned with increasing contest programmes, safety campaigns, suggestion awards, and various
audiovisual aids can be considered as different forms of employee education.

Safety inspection
An inspection by a trained individual or a committee to detect evidence of possible safety
hazards (such as poor lighting, slippery floors, unguarded machines, faulty electrical installations,
poor work methods and disregard of safety rules) is a very effective device to promote safety.

Health Services

The prevention of accident constitutes only on segment of the function of employee maintenance.
Another equally important segment is the employee’s general health, both physical and mental. There
are various aspects of industrial health services
1. Preventive
2. Curative, the former consists of
3. Pre-employment and periodic medical examination,
4. Removal or reduction of health hazards to the maximum extent possible,
5. Surveillance over certain classes of workers such as women, young persons and persons exposed to
special risks.

34
 An employee very often comes across problems which have emotional content. For example, he may
be nearing retirement and feeling insecure or he may be getting promotion and feeling hesitant to
shoulder increased responsibility or he may be worried due to some family problem.

Employee Welfare in India

The Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution expresses the need for labour welfare
thus:
1. The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as effectively
as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic and political, shall inform all the
institutions of the national life.
2. The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing.
3. That the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood.
4. That the ownership and control of the material resources are so distributed as to sub serve the
common good.

 Counselling Services

An employee very often comes across problems which have emotional content. For example, he may
be nearing retirement and feeling insecure or he may be getting promotion and feeling hesitant to shoulder
increased responsibility or he may be worried due to some family problem.
