CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

The Indian textile industry has its roots going back several thousand

years. After the industrial revolution in Europe, this sector in India also saw its

growth of an industrial complex. Today the industry contributes around 14

percent to industrial production in the country. It is estimated to directly employ

approximately 35 million people, it accounts to 27 percent of the country’s

exports, and in sum, an important economic engine for the nation.

The size of our Indian textile industry is estimated at Rs.1, 24,000

Crores constituting seven percent of the GDP. The industry has fair global

exposure. Textile exports constitute about 35 percent of the total foreign

exchange earnings of the country.

During the last 10 years, the industry’s actions, government policies as

well as market events have begun to converge, providing several growth

opportunities for the sector domestically as well as in the global market. The

deficiencies of the industry can be broadly classified into three heads: the first

being the gaps in the industry due to fragmented structure and dominance of

small industry, the second are the regulatory disadvantages like the historical

1

reservation of manufacturing for very small companies and the third being the

disadvantages India faces as a country.

In this prevailing situation, building state-of-the-art technology,

liberalizing the government controls and regulations, adoption of latest

management tools and techniques, good technical education for developing the

right king of resources are required to attain and sustain a pre-eminent global

standing.

1.2 COMPANY PROFILE

1.3 CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND

The facilities provided for the workmen in their organization definitely

have a physical and psychological effect on them. Based on this, the problems

are found to be in different dimensions. Due to inadequate welfare facilities there

leads to an increase in health and personal problems.

1.3.1 WORKING CONDITIONS

Working conditions under which the employees are exposed play a

vital role in the relationship between the employee and the management. The

factors like shift timings, workload and the environment under which the workers

are put in kindles the spirit of the employees. The main aim of factories act is to

protect human beings subjected to unduly long hours of bodily strain or mental

work, in order to see that, employers carry out the provisions of the act for the

well being of the workers. Government has appointed inspectors who make

periodical visits to Industries for check - up.

The risks faced by the employees causes injuries in the working place

everyday which may even cause inability to work for the rest of his/her life. This

may be due to the lack of good safety measure, dust and fumes control, noise

control or sufficient space for movement in the working place or lack of

cleanliness or insufficient air circulation or inadequate lighting facilities.

6

The working conditions include cleanliness, lighting facilities or

proper illumination, ventilation or proper air circulation, work space, safety

measure, noise control, dust and fumes control.

The safe working conditions include,

a. Good house keeping

b. Good air circulation

c. Adequate lighting

d. Good work schedule

e. Providing safety devices

f. Properly guarded equipments

g. Safe storage

Definition of working conditions

The modern concept of Industrial healthy working condition is referred

to as the health, which is the outcome of the interaction between the individual

and his environment. The modern concepts anticipate and recognizes potentially

harmful situation and applies engineering control measure before series of injury

results.

According to the joint ILO/WHO committee (1987), Healthy Industrial

working conditions are

i) The prevention and maintenance of physical, mental and social

well being of workers in all occupations.

ii) Prevention of ill-health among workers caused by working

conditions.

7

iii) Protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from

factors to health and

iv) Placing and maintenance of the workers in an occupational

environment adapted to his physical and psychological equipment.

1.3.1.1 Cleanliness

According to sec 11 of the factories act 1948, every room must be

kept clean from effluvia arising from any drain, privy, or other nuisance. The floor

must be kept clean and there should not be any accumulation of dirt anywhere in

the working place, which affects the health condition of the workers as well as the

quality of the product. The act states that, the floor must be cleaned at least

once in a week by washing and using disinfectors, effective drainage, regular

repainting or revarnishing the inside wall and partitions, white washing or colour

washing of the company. This may be done at least once every 14 months.

Therefore, poor housekeeping will lead to an adverse effect on health of the

workers and productivity.

1.3.1.2 Lighting

According to sec 17 of the factories act 1948,in every part of a factory

where workers are working or passing, there shall be provided sufficient and

suitable lighting, natural or artificial, or both. All the glass windows and lights

must be kept clean on both inner and outer surfaces. Effective measures must be

taken for prevention of glass and formation of shadows, which may cause any

strain, and risk of accidents. Therefore it is most important for an organization to

provide good quality of lighting facilities in order to reduce accidents and make

the workers to perform their duties efficiently without any distraction.

8

1.3.1.3 Ventilation

In the textile industries, ventilation plays a vital role. It is common that

the textile industries are polluted due to cotton flying all over. The workers suffer

from restless and suffocation and various disease of the type due to the polluted

air. So, the need for adequate ventilation has become important. According to

the factory rule 1950,”In every factory, the amount of ventilating openings in a

work room below the caves shall, except where mechanical means of ventilation

as required by sub rule(2) are provided, be often aggregate area not less than

15% of the floor area and so located as to afford the continued supply of fresh

air”.

1.3.1.4 Work Space

Over crowding in factories, where power and machine are made use

of is likely to cause accident to workers. For efficient production also,

overcrowding is not healthy. While the worker is in the process of doing his work,

there should not be any disturbance due to the transportation of materials due to

his co-workers. So, minimum required space must be allotted for each worker to

work peacefully. According to sec16 “there should be 350cubic feet of the space

for each worker employed in factories which where started before 1948 and at

least 500 cubic feet of space for every worker employed in factories which were

started after 1948”.

9

1.3.1.5 Safety Measure

For the purpose of the prevention of accidents and for the safety of

the workers, effective measures should be taken to safeguard the workers. The

machineries should be fenced and while the machine is in motion, there must not

be any distraction. Fire fighting equipments should be provided sufficiently in all

the areas of production. In textile industries machines must be provided with iron

wire fencing and individual mechanical and electrical means of starting and

stopping of such machines.

1.3.1.6 Noise Control

In the case of machines, which generate enormous noise, it is tedious

for the worker to work continuously for a long period. It will damage the ear

drums of the worker. So, the noise should not divert the concentration of the

worker.

1.3.2 LABOUR WELFARE

“Labour welfare” is an important facet of industrial relations, giving

satisfaction to the worker for which there is no other way of compensation.

Modern welfare may be said to have been the outcome of the movement for

better & more efficient management in industry including human angle.

10

The acceptance of the concept Labour welfare all over is mainly due to

(i) The need to provide better life for the workers & to maintain goodwill

among the employees & to increase the productivity

(ii) Growing public & government concern, especially in the economically less

developed countries, over the amelioration of the working & living

conditions of industrial workers as an aspect of national policy.

(iii) Steps to promote labour welfare has become a direct recognition of the

situations like expansion in the advanced countries of the world and

concomitant process of mass production and mass selling rendering the

working class as a source of power.

Labour welfare services may be classified as

a. Intramural and b. Extramural

Intramural services are those, which are provided within the factory

like safety, health and counseling services.

Extramural services are those, which are provided within the factory

like education, housing, transport, recreation etc.

Definition Labour Welfare

Labour welfare is defined as “Efforts to make life worth living for

workmen”. The voluntary effort on the part of the employer to improve the

11

conditions of employment in the factories forms the scope of labour welfare

efforts. The efforts to initiate the welfare facilities have their origin either in some

statue formed by the state or in some local customer in a collective agreement

or in the employer’s own initiative.

1.3.2.1 Welfare Facility

The welfare facilities are

1. Drinking water facilities

2. Latrines and urinals

3. Washing facility

4. First aid facility

1.3.2.2 Drinking Water Facility

According to Factories Act 1948, every organization must provide

adequate drinking water facility invariably to all the employers. It must be placed

with in the department.

1.3.2.3 Latrines and Urinals

Section 19 deals with Latrines and Urinals “In every factory, sufficient

latrine and urinal accommodation of prescribed types shall be provided

conveniently situated and accessible to male and female workers at all times

while they are in the factory”.

1.3.2.4 Washing Facility

12

According to Section 42 every factory should provide adequate and

suitable washing facilities for male and female workers.

1.3.2.5 First Aid Facility

Adequate first aid facility must be provided for the workers in an

organization. Injuries are caused every day and there fore prescribed medicines

and equipments must compulsorily be kept in the first aid box. Whenever the

employer is insured he must be provided first aid treatment and for that purpose,

first aid box must be provided for every one hundred and fifty workers.

1.3.3 REST ROOM FACILITIES

According to section 47, every factory that has more than 150

employees, who are ordinarily employed, there should be a rest room with the

drinking water facility. Therefore it is important to maintain the rest room clean

and tidy and there should be good ventilation.

1.3.4 CANTEEN FACILITIES

According to section 46, for the factory, which has more than two

hundred and fifty workers who are ordinarily employed, there should be a

canteen for the workers. Hence, it is necessary to provide hygienic food with

good quality at a considerable price.

1.3.5 MEDICAL FACILITIES

13

There must be a hospital within one-kilometer distance from the

factory which the organization should keep in touch for the treatment of the

employee. If there is no hospital, then organization should provide separate

medical room.

1.4 NEED FOR THE STUDY

There is a great need for good working condition in an industry. The

improved working condition leads to improved productivity. Some of the basic

reasons for the need for good working conditions are : to increase the loyalty of

the employees towards the organization, to reduce injuries due to bad working

conditions of machineries, to increase productivity, to reduce resistance due to

change, enhancing employees interest towards work, to reduce absenteeism

and tardiness, to strengthen the morale and employee commitment.

The working conditions include cleanliness, lighting facilities or proper

illumination, ventilation or proper air circulation, work space, safety measure,

noise control, dust and fumes control.

It is necessary to improve the conditions of the workers, which will

ultimately lead to high production, and the progress of the country.

It is necessary to save the workers from evils, to increase efficiency of

the workers and to make the country more prosperous. For building up a stable

and efficient labour force, it is essential labour force, it is essential to bring about

14

a marked improvement in the conditions of the worker’s life and work. For

achieving maximum result, welfare activities have to be under taken in the right

spirit mainly with a view to make the lives of the workers happier and healthier.

An employee feels secure when he is placed in organization, which

cares for the welfare of the labourers, and this cares a paternalistic feeling of

them.

1.5 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Man-Made textiles research organisation(MANTRA) gives top priority

for developing welfare facilities and caters to the multifarious needs of the

industries. It’s primarily aimed at planned and healthy growth of the employees of

the decentralized textile industries. MANTRA has undertaken research on such

areas as pollution control, mechanical and wet processing. Some of the on-going

projects are effluent treatment and cleanliness of drinking water. It’s researches

have proved that good welfare facilities are a must in every organisation.

Peter Rogers Chairman, The strategic forum for construction has taken

up research in industries and have concluded that unsafe, disorganized and dirty

organizations lead to poor standards and settling for a compromise in the needs

mean risking of lives. Spending more on prelims to provide good access, security

and welfare facilities creates a safe working environment, often with reduced

accidents and incident rates and a motivated workforce.

The National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and

Health, Stakes is a society for all–network situated in United Nations. It’s findings

15

have proved that the facilitation and the integration of the welfare needs of the

people of the organisation, encourage the morale of the workforce of the nation.
