Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
Due to rapid industrialization, industrial workers are exposed to several types of
hazards and accidents. Every year lakhs of workers are injured due to mechanical, chemical,
electrical and radiation hazards and it leads to partial or total disablement. So in recent years,
greater attention is given to health and safety due to pressure from government, trade unions,
labour laws and awareness of employers.
The efficiency of workers depends to a great extends on the environment in which the
work. Work environment consists of all the factors, which act and react on the body and mind
of an employee. The primary aim is to create an environment, which ensures the greatest ease
of work and removes all causes of worries.
Occupational health and safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many
specialized fields. In its broadest sense, it should aim at:
a) The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social
well-being of workers in all occupations.
b) The prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their working
conditions.
c) The protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors
adverse to health.
d) The placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to
physical and mental needs.
e) The adaptation of work to humans.

Successful occupational health and safety practice requires the collaboration and
participation of both employers and workers in health and safety programmes, and involves
the consideration of issues relating to occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology,
education, engineering safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc.
Occupational health issues are often given less attention than
occupational safety issues because the former are generally more difficult to confront.
However, when health is addressed, so is safety, because a healthy workplace is by definition
also a safe workplace. The converse, though, may not be true - a so-called safe workplace is
not necessarily also a healthy workplace. The important point is that issues of both health and
safety must be addressed in every workplace.
Work plays a central role in people's lives, since most workers spend at least eight
hours a day in the workplace, whether it is on a plantation, in an office, factory, etc.
Therefore, work environments should be safe and healthy. Unfortunately some employers
assume little responsibility for the protection of workers' health and safety. In fact, some
employers do not even know that they have the moral and often legal responsibility to protect
workers.
Health of the workers:
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the
absence of diseases. Its a positive and dynamic concept which means something more than
the absence of illness.
Safety of the workers:
Safety is a measures or techniques implemented to reduce the risk of injury, loss and
danger to persons, property or the environment in any facility or place involving the
manufacturing, producing and processing of goods or merchandise.

CHAPTER - II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Workplace health and safety is protecting the safety, health and overall welfare of
employees at a particular company or institution. The goal of most workplace health and
safety programs is to promote a safer work environment for employees.
Health and safety
According to the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Health
Organization (WHO), health and safety at work is aimed at the promotion and maintenance
of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations;
the prevention among workers of leaving work due to health problems caused by their
working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational
environment adapted to his or her physiological and psychological capabilities; and, to
summarise, the adaptation of work to the person and of each person to their job.
Occupational safety and health (OSH) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with
protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. The
goals of occupational safety and health programs include to foster a safe and healthy work
environments may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, and
many others who might be affected by the workplace environment.
Occupational safety and health can be important for moral, legal, and financial reasons. All
organizations have a duty of care to ensure that employees and any other person who may be
affected by the companies undertaking remain safe at all times.

Moral obligations would involve the protection of employee's lives and health. Legal reasons
for OSH practices relate to the preventative, punitive and compensatory effects of laws that
protect worker's safety and health. OSH can also reduce employee injury and illness related
costs, including medical care, sick leave and disability benefit costs. OSH may involve
interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational
hygiene, public health, safety engineering, industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics,
ergonomics and occupational health psychology.

costs of an injury or illness are:
a) the pain and suffering of the injury or illness;
b) the loss of income;
c) the possible loss of a job;
d) Health-care costs.
-
A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015
DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 24
It has been estimated that the indirect costs of an accident or illness can be four to ten
times greater than the direct costs, or even more. An occupational illness or accident can have
so many indirect costs to workers that it is often difficult to measure them. One of the most
obvious indirect costs is the human suffering caused to workers' families, which cannot be
compensated with money.
Identifying hazards in the workplace:
Some occupational diseases have been recognized for many years, and affect workers in
different ways depending on the nature of the hazard, the route of exposure, the dose, etc.
Some well-known occupational diseases include:

a) Asbestosis (caused by asbestos, which is common in insulation, automobile brake
linings, etc.)
b) Silicosis (caused by silica, which is common in mining, sandblasting, etc.)
c) Lead poisoning (caused by lead, which is common in battery plants, paint factories,
etc.)
d) Noise-induced hearing loss (caused by noise, which is common in many workplaces,
including airports, and workplaces where noisy machines, such as presses or drills,
etc.)
Importance of management commitment on health and safety:
In order to develop a successful health and safety programme, it is essential that there
be strong management commitment and strong worker participation in the effort to create and
maintain a safe and healthy workplace. An effective management addresses all work-related
hazards, not only those covered by government standards.

All levels of management must make health and safety a priority. They must
communicate this by going out into the worksite to talk with workers about their concerns
and to observe work procedures and equipment. In each workplace, the lines of responsibility
from top to bottom need to be clear, and workers should know who is responsible for
different health and safety issues.
Importance of training:
Workers often experience work-related health problems and do not realize that the
problems are related to their work, particularly when an occupational disease, for example, is
in the early stages. Besides the other more obvious benefits of training, such as skills
development, hazard recognition, etc., a comprehensive training programme in each
workplace will help workers to:
a) Recognize early signs/symptoms of any potential occupational diseases before they
become permanent conditions.

b) Assess their work environment.
c) Insist that management make changes before hazardous conditions can develop.
Health and safety programmes:
Effective workplace health and safety programmes can help to save the lives of workers
by reducing hazards and their consequences. Health and safety programmes also have
positive effects on both worker morale and productivity, which are important benefits.
At the same time, effective programmes can save employers a great deal of money. For
all of the reasons given below, it is crucial that employers, workers and unions are committed
to health and safety.
a) Workplace hazards are controlled - at the source whenever possible.
b) Records of any exposure are maintained for many years.
c) Both workers and employers are informed about health and safety risks in the
workplace.
d) There is an active and effective health and safety committee that includes both
workers and management.
e) Worker health and safety efforts are ongoing.

1) Johannson B; Rask K; Stenberg M (2010)1, this study was to carry out a broad survey
and analysis of relevant research articles about piece rate wages and their effects on
health and safety. A total of 75 research articles were examined extensively and 31 of
these were found relevant and had sufficient quality to serve the purpose of this study.
The findings of these relevant articles are summarized and analysed in the survey. More
recent research shows a clear interest for health, musculoskeletal injuries, physical
workload, pains and occupational injuries. The fact that 27 of the 31 studied articles
found negative effects of piece rates on different aspects of health and safety does not
prove causality, but together they give very strong support that in most situations piece
rates have negative effects on health and safety.
2) Tompa, Emile PhD; Dolinschi, Roman MA; de Oliveira (2009)2, we reviewed the
occupational health and safety intervention literature to synthesize evidence on financial
merits of such interventions. A literature search included journal databases, existing
systematic reviews, and studies identified by content experts. We found strong evidence
that ergonomic and other musculoskeletal injury prevention intervention in manufacturing
and warehousing are worth undertaking in terms of their financial merits. The economic
evaluation of interventions in this literature warrants further expansion. The review also
provided insights into how the methodological quality of economic evaluations in this
literature could be improved.
3) Conor CO Reynolds; M Anne Harris; Peter A Cripton; Meghan Winters (2009)3,
Bicycling has the potential to improve fitness. Understanding ways of making bicycling
safer is important to improving population health. We reviewed studies of the impact of
transportation infrastructure on bicyclist safety. To assess safety, studies examining the
following outcomes were included: injuries; injury severity; and crashes. Results to date
suggest that sidewalks and multi-use trails pose the highest risk, major roads are more
hazardous than minor roads, and the presence of bicycle facilities (e.g. on-road bike
routes, on-road marked bike lanes, and off-road bike paths) was associated with the
lowest risk. Street lighting, paved surfaces, and low-angled grades are additional factors
that appear to improve cyclist safety.

4) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta Escriba-aguir; Lorena Cascant (2009)4, the
objectives of this study was to identify family and job characteristics associated with long
work hours. The sample was composed of all salaried workers aged 1664 years (3950
men and 3153 women) interviewed in the 2006 Catalonian Health Survey. Factors
associated with long working hours differed by gender. In men, working 5160 h a week
was consistently associated with poor mental health status, self-reported hypertension, job
dissatisfaction, smoking, shortage of sleep. Among women it was only related to smoking
and to shortage of sleep. The association of overtime with different health indicators
among men and women could be explained by their role as the family breadwinner.
5) Dee W. Edington; Alyssa B. Schultz (2008)5, The aim was to present the literature
which provides evidence of the association between health risks and the workplace
economic measures of time away from work, reduced productivity at work, health care
costs and pharmaceutical costs. A search of PubMed was conducted and high quality
studies were selected and combined with studies known to the authors. A strong body of
evidence exists which shows that health risks of workers are associated with health care
costs and pharmaceutical costs. A growing body of literature also confirms that health
risks are associated with the productivity measures. The paper shows that measures of
success will continue to be important as the field of worksite health management moves
forward.
6) David E. Cantor (2008)6, The purpose of this paper was to review the literature and call
for additional research into the human, operational, and regulatory issues that contribute
to workplace safety in the supply chain. This paper identifies several potential research
opportunities that can increase awareness of the importance of improving a firm's
workplace safety practices. This paper identifies 108 articles which informs, how the
logistics and transportation safety has evolved. The paper identifies 14 future research
opportunities within the workplace safety in the supply chain, that have been identified
can have a positive effect on practitioners confronted with safety issues.
7) Lucia Artazcoz; Imma Cortes; Vincenta Escriba-aguir; Lorena Cascant (2007)7, To
provide a framework for epidemiological research on work and health that combines
classic occupational epidemiology and the consideration of work in a structural
perspective focused on gender inequalities in health. Gaps and limitations in classic

occupational epidemiology, when considered from a gender perspective, are described.
Classic occupational epidemiology has paid less attention to womens problems than
mens. Research into work related gender inequalities in health has rarely considered
either social class or the impact of family demands on mens health. The analysis of work
and health from a gender perspective should take into account the complex interactions
between gender, family roles, employment status and social class.
8) Shouji Nagashima; Yasushi Suwazono; Yasushi Okubo; Mirei Uetani (2007)8, The
aim was to clarify the influence of working hours on both mental and physical symptoms
of fatigue and use the data obtained to determine permissible working hours. The survey
of day-shift male workers, using the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Cumulative
Fatigue Symptoms Index (CFSI). A total of 715 workers participated. In the group
working
260279 h/month, the odds ratios for SDS and irritability and chronic
tiredness of the CFSI were increased. In the group working 280 h/month, the odds ratios
on CFSI for general fatigue, physical disorders, anxiety and chronic tiredness were
likewise increased. The research clarified that working hours

10) A Baker; K Heiler; S A Ferguson (2002)10, The occupational health and safety
implications associated with compressed and extended work periods have not been fully
explored in the mining sector. Absenteeism and incident frequency rate data were
collected over a 33 month period that covered three different roster schedules. The only
significant change in absenteeism rates was an increase in the maintenance sector in the
third data collection period. The current study did not find significant negative effects of a
12-hour pattern, when compared to an 8-hour system. However, when unregulated and
excessive overtime was introduced as part of the 12-hour/5-day roster, absenteeism rates
were increased in the maintenance sector.
11) N Nakanishia; H Yoshidaa; K Naganoa; H Kawashimob; K Nakamurac (2001)11, to
evaluate the association of long working hours with the risk of hyper-tension. The work
site is in Osaka, Japan. 941 hypertension free Japanese male white collar workers aged
3554 years were prospectively examined by serial annual health examinations. 424 men
developed hypertension above the borderline level. After controlling for potential
predictors of hypertension, the relative risk for hypertension above the borderline level,
compared with those who worked < 8.0 hours per day was 0.48, for those who worked
10.010.9 hours per day was 0.63. These results indicate that long working hours are
negatively associated with the risk for hypertension in Japanese male white collar
workers.
12) N. Haworth; C. Tingvall & N. Kowadlo (2000)12, In response to an increasing
awareness of the role of work-related driving in crashes and the related costs, many
private and government organisations have developed programs to improve fleet safety.
The purpose of this project is to investigate the potential to introduce road safety based
initiatives in the corporate environment. From the review, that the fleet safety initiatives
which have potential to be effective are, Selecting safer vehicles, Some particular driver
training and education programs, Incentives, Company safety programs. It is assumed that
the degree of influence is likely to decrease as the type of vehicle moves from the fleet
towards the private end of the continuum.

13) Graves carol gevecker; Matanoski genevieve m; Tardiff robert g (2000)13, Carbonless
copy paper (CCP), introduced in 1954. Its safety to workers who handle large amounts of
CCP has been addressed in numerous studies and reports. This review encompasses the
world's literature on CCP and provides a weight-of-evidence analysis of the safety of
CCP to workers in the United States. Since 1987, has produced neither primary skin
irritation nor skin sensitization under normal conditions of manufacture and use. Finally,
very few published complaints have come from the manufacturing sector where the
closest and most voluminous contact occurs. Based on the weight of the evidence,
NIOSH is anticipated to conclude that CCP is not a hazard to workers and has only a
small possibility of producing mild and transient skin irritation.
14) Karen J.M. Niven (2000)14, A literature review was described which aimed to evaluate
economic evaluations of health and safety interventions in healthcare. Problems were
identified with valuing benefits in health and safety because they frequently take many
years to emerge and are difficult to measure. Understanding of economic techniques
within the health and safety professions was limited, resulting in wide-ranging
assumptions being made as to the positive economic impact of health and safety
interventions. Healthcare managers, health economists, and health and safety
professionals have not traditionally worked together and have inherent misunderstandings
of each other roles. The review concludes that the aim of future research should be to
assist the National Health Service (NHS) to make valid decisions about health and safety
investment and risk control methods.

Directive on Working Time, which should have been implemented in member states of
the European Community by November 1996. This paper reviews the current evidence
relating to the potential effects on health and performance of extensions to the normal
working day. Research to date has been restricted to a limited range of health outcomes--
namely, mental health and cardiovascular disorders. Other potential effects which are
normally associated with stress--for example, gastrointestinal disorders, musculoskeletal
disorders, and problems associated with depression of the immune system, have received
little attention. It is concluded that there is currently sufficient evidence to raise concerns
about the risks to health and safety of long working hours.

16) Simon Chapple and Tracy Mears (1996)16, Most OECD countries rely on a mixture of
market forces, tort liability, compulsory insurance and government regulation to deal with
workplace safety and health issues. There are also other non-efficiency reasons for
government involvement in workplace safety and health. However, while markets may
not be efficient, government intervention can fail to make any improvement and/or not
satisfy cost-benefit criteria. While the empirical evidence is not clear cut, the balance of
the evidence suggests that wages may include some consideration for health and safety
risks. Evidence also suggests that workers compensation systems increase the frequency
and duration of claims for non-fatal injuries, but may decrease the number of fatal
injuries.
17) Peter Hasle and Hans Jorgen Limborg (1995)17, The scientific literature regarding
preventive occupational Health and Safety Activities in Small Enterprises has been
reviewed in order to identify effective preventive approaches and to develop a future
research strategy. There is a lack of evaluation of intervention studies, both in terms of
effect and practical applicability. However, there is sufficiently strong evidence to
conclude that workers of small enterprises are subject to higher risks than the larger ones,
and that small enterprises have difficulties in controlling risk. The most effective
preventive approaches seem to be simple and low cost solutions, disseminated through
personal contact. It is important to develop future intervention research strategies, which
study the complete intervention system of the small enterprises.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research is a process in which the researcher wishes to find out the end result for a
given problem and thus the solution helps in future course of action. The research has been
defined as A careful investigation or enquiry especially through search for new fact in any
branch of knowledge.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The procedure using, which researchers go about their work of describing, explaining
and predicting phenomena, is called Methodology. Methods compromise the procedures used
for generating, collecting, and evaluating data. Methods are the ways of obtaining
information useful for assessing explanation.
TYPES OF RESEARCH
The type of research used in this project is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research
is essentially a fact finding related largely to the present, abstracting generations by cross
sectional study of the current situation .The descriptive methods are extensively used in the
physical and natural science, for instance when physics measures, biology classifies, zoology
dissects and geology studies the rock. But its use in social science is more common, as in
socio economic surveys and job and activity analysis.
-
A Study on health and safety measures in Neycer India Ltd 2015
DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Page 36
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH AIMS AT
To portray the characteristics of a particular individual situation or group(with or
without specific initial hypothesis about the nature of this characteristics).
To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is
associated with something else( usually , but not always ,with a specific initial
hypothesis).
The descriptive method has certain limitation; one is that the research may make description
itself an end itself.
Research is essentially creative and demands the discovery of facts on order to lead a
solution of the problem. A second limitation is associated whether the statistical techniques
dominate. The desire to over emphasis central tendencies and to fact in terms of Average,
Correlation, Means and dispersion may not always be either welcome.
This limitation arises because statistics which is partly a descriptive tool of analysis can aid
but not always explain casual relation.
DESIGN OF DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES:
Descriptive studies aim at portraying accurately the characteristics of a particular
group or solution. One may under take a descriptive study about the work in the factory,
health and welfare. A descriptive study may be concerned with the right to strike, capital
punishment, prohibition etc.
A descriptive study involves the following steps:
1. Formulating the objectives of the study .
2. Defining the population and selecting the sample .
3. Designing the method of data collection .
4. Analysis of the data .
5. Conclusion and recommendation for further improvement in the practices.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is the specification of the method and procedure for acquiring the
information needed to solve the problem.
The research design followed for this research study is descriptive research design where we
find a solution to an existing problem. The problem of this study is to find the effectiveness
of Employees Safety & Health at Neycer India Limited.
UNIVERSE AND SAMPLING:
This study was restricted to the blue collar employees. Out of the universe of 69 blue
collars, a sample of 100 respondents was selected by simple random sampling method. All
the opinions expressed herein are the contribution by the respondents only.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Survey method is considered the best method for data collection and the tool used for
data collection are Questionnaire. Private individuals, research workers, private and public
organizations and even government are adopting it. In this method a questionnaire is
collected through personal interview. A questionnaire consists of a number of question
involves both specific and general question related to Employees Safety & Health.
SOURCES OF DATA
The two sources of data collection are namely primary & secondary.
Primary data
Primary data are fresh data collected through survey from the employees using
questionnaire.
Secondary data
Secondary data are collected from books, internet and various journals, magazines
etc.

CHI - SQUARE Analysis
In this project chi- square test was used. This test is used to test significance of
association between two attributes. Chi- square, symbolically written as 2 (pronounce as
Ki- square), is a statistical measure used in the context of sampling analysis for
comparing a variance to a theoretical variance. Formula for finding chi square is
2 = (O-E)2/ E
In this study chi-square is to find the association between respondents
gender and respondents accident proneness, respondents accident proneness and enough
training for the employees & employees work load and the approach of the organization .
