CHAPTER I

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury or loss.
Industrial safety or employee safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger of
industrial accidents. In todays competitive world many organization are adopting advance
technology. It has both merits and demerits. Increasing technologies involves high risk,
where the question of safety arises. The life of industrial worker is full of risk. Every year
lakes of employees are injured in factories, mines etc., the main reasons for such activities are
due to either unsafe act or unsafe condition. Today employers are obligated to give their
employees a safe and secured work environment. The main purpose of effective safety
program in organizations is to prevent work related injuries and accidents. The modern safety
movement started around 1912 with the first cooperative Safety Congress and the
organization of the National Safety Council in U.S.A. Safety is prior to security. According to
this concept, the present Factories Act ensures several safety measures.
The importance of industrial safety was realized because every year millions of
industrial accidents occur which result in either death or temporary and permanent
disablement of the employees and involve a good amount of cost such as resulting from
waste man-hours, machine hours, etc. Safety s primarily the responsibility of the
management. This responsibility should rest on the shoulder of all cadres of management
such as production manager, personnel manager, maintenance engineer, safety officer. Every
organization should formulate and implement a safety procedure. Safety in industry helps to
Increase the rate of production, Reduce the production cost, Reduce the damage to equipment
and machinery, Prevent the premature death of talented workers who are an asset to the
society, Prevent the needless pain and suffering to the employees. Industrial safety saves
costs, improves productivity, develops morale, Safety is a legal requirement.
Safety measures result in improving the conditions under which workers are
employed and work. It improves not only their physical efficiency, but also provides
protection to their life and limb. Inadequate provision of safety measures in factories may
lead to increase in the number of accidents. Human failure due to carelessness, ignorance,
inadequate skill, and improper supervision have also contributed to accidents, and the
consequent need for safety measures.

2

Other factors giving rise to the need for safety measures are:
rapid industrialization with its complexities in manufacturing process and
layout;
expansion or modifications in existing factories;
setting up of new industries involving hazards not known earlier;
lack of safety consciousness on the part of both workers and management;
- inadequate realisation of the financial implications of accidents.

Safety measures which are provided in the Factories Act, 1948, are considered to be
minimum in terms of adequacy. Such measures are required to be effectively implemented. In
addition to implementing safety measures provided in the Factories Act, there is also need for
providing training in safety to workers, and installing safety equipment in the factories.
Employers should take the initiative in providing training in safety to employees. Workers
unions should take interest in safety promotion. Periodic training courses in accident
prevention can be organised. Safety should become a habit with employers and the workers
alike.
The efficient working process needs sound health of the persons engaged therein.
Unless the workers are physically and mentally healthy they cannot perform their duties
effectively and smoothly. Therefore, medical care and health facilities for industrial workers
form and integral part of labour welfare programme in all the countries of the world. Medical
facilities for workers and their families in the form of suitably equipped first aid centers,
ambulance rooms, dispensaries, for the treatment of diseases like TB, cancer, leprosy, mental
disease, etc.
The need for the study arises from the very nature of the industrial system, which is
characterized by two basic factors; one, the conditions under which work is carried on are not
congenial for health; and second, when a labourer joins an industry, he has to work in an
entirely strange atmosphere, which create problems of adjustment.
The working environment in a factory adversely affects the workers health because
of the excessive heat or cold, noise, odors, fumes, dust and lack of sanitation and pure air etc.,
lead to occupational hazards. These must be held in check by providing ameliorative services,
protective devices and compensatory benefits following accident or injury or disablement.
When a worker, who is in fact a ruralite, comes to work in a factory, he has to work
and live in unhealthy, congested factories and slum areas, with no outdoor recreation
facilities. To escape from the trying conditions of his tedious and tiresome job, he absents
3

himself, becomes irregular and often undisciplined. Hence the need for providing welfare
service arises.
In the conditions of work and life of the employees, whatever leads to increasing
adaptation of the worker to this job, and whatever makes him fully contented, lessens his
desire or need to leave the factory for a time and lighten for him the burden of this social
invasion of the factory.

1.3 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Cotton is the most famed material in the textile industry in India and the cotton
textiles are considered amongst the oldest industries in India. In the early eighteenth century,
the export of cotton textiles to the European countries revolutionized the textile industry and
agriculture in India. Cotton textiles can be traced back to the times of Indus Valley
Civilization, when cotton fabrics of India were in great demand even in the countries of
Europe and West Asia. It used to be a cottage or village industry during those times. The
spinning wheel was the only machine, simple but exceedingly inventive. The modern textile
industry in India first began at Fort Gloster near Kolkata in early 19th century. But it in
reality made a head start in Mumbai in the year 1854 when a cotton textile mill was set up
there exclusively out of Indian funds.
There are several worth mentioning features of the cotton textile industry in India. It
is based on indigenous raw materials. Research shows that in between 1995 and 1996, this
4

textile industry provided employment to over 64 million persons, next only to agriculture.
Thus cotton textile industry is exceedingly meaningful for a country like India, because it is a
labour-intensive industry. It alone accounts for near about four percent of the gross domestic
product. More prominently, it is responsible for 20 percent of the manufacturing value
addition. Lately, it has been bringing home one-third of India`s total export earnings.
The cotton textile industry in India provides livelihood to farmers, and workers who
are engaged in singeing, spinning, weaving, bleaching, dying, scouring, designing and
packaging, and also sewing and tailoring. It is India`s one of the most traditional and
esteemed industry. More importantly, the industry strikes a rational balance between tradition
and modernity. While the spinning occupation is rather centralised, weaving is exceedingly
decentralised, providing scope for traditional skills of craftsmen in cotton, silk, zari,
embroidery and so on. The hand spun and hand woven Khadi holds back the ancient tradition
of providing large scale employment. Cotton textile industry in India has all along prospered
on its own funds. On the other hand, the country possesses the most contemporary capital
intensive and high speed mill-produced cloth with a huge market both at home as well as
abroad.
The fabrics are basically produced in three sectors - Mills, Power looms and
Handlooms. Together they account for around 98.5 percent of the fabrics produced in the
country. The Mill sector accounts for only 5.2 percent of the total fabrics produced in the
country, whereas Power looms and Handlooms are responsible for nearly 73 percent and 20.3
percent respectively. For example, the whole sari sector is earmarked for handloom and
power loom sectors. The latter also produces hosiery on a vast scale, by and large for export
purposes. India also exports quality yarn to Japan and other European economic
communities.
In India cotton textiles production is basically located in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu
and provinces of Gujarat. Interestingly, several government programmes have sustained
cotton textile industries in almost all the states in the country. In the country, because of
irrigation restrictions, cotton textile productions are heavily dependent on monsoon season.
Further, in 1997 and 1998 the country had produced 37.4 billion metres of fabrics. Now the
proportion between natural and human-made fibre is almost equal. The important centres of
cotton textiles industry comprise Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Madurai, Indore, Nagpi,
Sholapur, Kolkata, Kanpur, Delhi and Hyderabad.
The cotton textile industry has implementing numerous techniques and measures to
supply eco-friendly products, which are of superior quality, to the world market. In India, use
5

of non-hazardous colours and dyes has come into use for manufacturing textiles. Moreover,
prohibited and banned resources have been barred from being used. India is yet to exploit its
enormous potential to manufacture classic cotton fabrics, for which there is enormous
demand in the upper social classes of the industrialised countries of the globe.
A cotton mill is a factory that houses spinning and weaving machinery, typically built
between 1775 and 1930. Cotton was an important product during the Industrial Revolution.
Cotton mills, and the mechanisation of the spinning process, were instrumental in the
growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. The
requirement for water helped stimulate the construction of the canal system, and the need for
power the development of steam engines. Limited companies were developed to construct the
mills, which led to the trading floors of the cotton exchange of Manchester, creating a vast
commercial city. The mills also generated employment and drew workers from largely rural
areas, leading to the expansion of local urban populations and the consequent need for
additional housing. In response, mill towns with municipal governments were created. The
mills provided independent incomes for girls and women. Child labour was used in the mills,
and the factory system led to organised labour. Poor conditions in cotton mills became the
subject of exposs, and in England, the Factory Acts were written to regulate them. The
cotton mill was originally a Lancashire phenomenon that then was copied in New England
and later in the southern states of America. In the 20th century, North West England lost its
supremacy to the United States, then India and then China. In the 21st century, redundant
mills have been accepted as part of a country's industrial heritage.
Cotton is the world's most important natural fibre. In 2007, the global yield was 25
million tons from 35 million hectares cultivated in more than 50 countries.
The English cotton mill, which emerged as an entity in 1771, went through many
changes before the last one was constructed in 1929. It had a worldwide influence on the
design of mills, and changed over time. The architectural development of the cotton mill was
linked to the development of the machinery which it contained, the power unit that drove it,
and the financial instruments used for its construction. In Lancashire, England, the industry
was horizontally integrated, with carding and spinning only in southeast Lancashire, whereas
weaving was more evenly spread but more concentrated to the north and west of the county.
In the USA in Pennsylvania, the process was mostly vertically integrated and led to combined
mills where carding, spinning and weaving took place in the same mill. Mills were also used
for finishing such as bleaching and printing.
6

The early mills were narrow and low in height, of light construction, powered water
wheels and containing small machines. Interior lighting was by daylight, and ceiling height
was only 68 ft. Masson Mill in Derbyshire is a good example of an early mill. Mills were
made by millwrights, builders and iron founders. These Arkwright-type mills are about 9 feet
(2.7 m) wide. Spinning was done with a spinning mule, which was not restricted by patent, so
many engineers experimented with improvements which they then tested in their own
establishments. These men became the successful mill owners.
In the United States, the early horse-powered Beverly Cotton Manufactory was
designed and pioneered by Thomas Somers, who started innovative construction and testing
of the facility in 1787, finishing the factory's equipment in 1788. Research and development
learned from this factory led Moses Brown of Providence to request the assistance of a
person skilled in water spinning. Samuel Slater, an immigrant and trained textile worker from
England, accepted Brown's proposal, and assisted the design of the construction of Slater
Mill, built in 1790 on the Blackstone River in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Slater managed to
evade restrictions on emigrations which were put in place to allow England to maintain its
monopoly on cotton mills. Slater Mill resembled both the Beverly Cotton Manufactory, and a
mill in Derbyshire that he had worked in the earliest cotton mills were driven by water, so
needed to be situated on fast flowing streams. The labour force, in the main had carding,
spinning and weaving skills acquired by working with wool. The earliest mills were adjacent
to streams flowing off the open west facing moors where the rainfall was the highest. As
capacity grew, navigable waterways were needed to bring in the raw materials and take away
the finished yarn or cloth. Rivers were canalised and a network of canals was dug to penetrate
further into the hills to service the mills.
From about 1820, the stationary steam engine became the normal form of power for a
cotton mill, water was still needed to produce the steam and to condense it, to maintain the
humidity, for many of the finishing processes and for firefighting. The water was extracted
from rivers and canals, then later mills requiring ever more water, built and maintained their
own reservoirs. Mills were built away from the hills, and clustered around watercourses,
developing into mill towns. Mills were also used for wet finishing processes such as
bleaching, dyeing and printing- these were very water intensive.
A cotton mill was not a healthy place to work. The air in the mill had to be hot and
humid to prevent the thread from breaking. 65 F to 80 F and 85% humidity was normal. The
air in the mill was thick with cotton dust, which could lead to byssinosis a lung disease.
Protective masks were introduced after the war, but few workers wore them as they made
7

them uncomfortable in the stifling conditions. The same applied to ear protectors. The air led
to skin infections, eye infections, bronchitus and tuberculosis. The noise levels in a weaving
shop, where the shuttles in 500 plus looms were being thumped 200 times a minute led to
levels of deafness in all who worked there. The lubrication was carcinogenic and led to
cancers of the mouth and cancer of the scrotum; known as mule-spinners cancer.
A mill worker could expect to work a thirteen-hour day, six days a week with two
weeks off for the wakes week holidays in summer. Unsurprisingly, a series of Factory Acts
were passed to attempt to ameliorate these conditions.
In the early days when the cotton towns were expanding rapidly, living conditions for
the workers were poor. Badly planned housing was seriously overcrowded. Open sewers and
shared privies led to diseases such as cholera; Manchester was hit by an epidemic in 1831
that claimed hundreds of lives.
Some early attempts at building cotton mills had been made in the 1740 but all were
unsuccessful and had no influence on the cotton mills as we know them. Paul and Wyatt had
a patent for a spinning device in 1738, and built a mill to test it.
[61]
Three other mills were set
up using the Paul-Wyatt machinery in the following years. Edward Cave in 1742 had set up
250 spindles in a watermill in Northampton. This was the first cotton mill to be driven by
water power. One was set up in Birmingham and one mill was established by Daniel Bourn in
Leominster. It is first mentioned in 1748, when both Bourn and Paul patented machinery for
carding cotton. It burnt down in 1754.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around
the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under
natural condition, the cotton balls will tend to increase the dispersion of the seeds.
The plant is shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world,
including the Americas, Africa and India.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
C. S. Ramanigopal (2012) conclude the company has given maximum effort and
dedication to implement the labour laws and regulations and it has succeeded in
implementing effective safety and health management considering the type of safety and
health problems, accidents, employees and technology in its organizational settings and also
good level of satisfaction among employees regarding healthy and safety has been achieved.
Abdullah, Spickett, Rumchev & Dhaliwal (2007) study on organizational factors on
safety in Taiwan and Japan reported that the influence of organizational factors in both
countries were different due to dissimilar culture. For example, they discovered that
Taiwanese leadership style was Top-Down Directive where top management
communicated safety policies and involved in safety activities while Japanese safety
leadership was more focused on Bottom-Up Participative where top management promoted
employees participation in any safety activities.

KCCs General Statement of Policy on Health, Safety and Welfare at Work, Kent
County Council recognises and accepts its statutory responsibility to provide safe and healthy
working conditions for employees, clients, and others who use or visit council premises or
may be affected by its activities. The council will also take steps to ensure that its contractors
and partners in service provision conduct their activities in a manner that is safe and without
risk to health. The policy sets out general principles for protecting the health and safety of
employees and others. It explains the management organisation and arrangements for
securing the provision and maintenance of plant, equipment and systems of work that are safe
and without risks to health, arrangements for the safe use, handling, storage and transport of
articles and substances, information, instruction, training and supervision that enables all
employees to avoid risks and contribute to their own safety and health at work, a safe place of
work, with safe means to enter and leave premises, a healthy working environment, adequate
welfare facilities. The remainder of the statement covers the councils strategic approach to
health and safety management in general terms. It is supplemented by directorate health and
safety policy statements that give further detail and recognise this policy as a parent
document.

Workplace health, safety and welfare-A short guide for managers, The Workplace
(Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 cover a wide range of basic health, safety and
welfare issues and apply to most workplaces (with the exception of those workplaces
involving construction work on construction sites, those in or on a ship, or those below
ground at a mine). They are amended by the Quarries Regulations 1999, the Health and
Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002, the Work at Height Regulations
2005, and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007. The health
measures outlined in this section contribute to the general working environment of people in
the workplace. The workplace, and certain equipment, devices and systems should be
maintained in efficient working order (efficient for health, safety and welfare). Such
maintenance is required for mechanical ventilation systems; equipment and devices which
would cause a risk to health, safety or welfare if a fault occurred; and equipment and devices
intended to prevent or reduce hazard. The condition of the buildings needs to be monitored to
ensure that they have appropriate stability and solidity for their use. This includes risks from
the normal running of the work process (eg vibration, floor loadings) and foreseeable risks
(eg fire in a cylinder store).

Brian Burke, Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Legislation; A Public Discussion
Document, Occupational health and safety is one of the most important industrial issues for
our State and for Australia. The misery and pain that injury and disease cause individuals and
their families cannot be measured. In the end the community bears the costs. Earlier this year
delegates to the National Economic Summit resolved that governments, employers and
unions should work together to improve the safety and health of people at work. My
Government has a commitment to passing an Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act.
Our policy was adopted last year after the circulation of a "green paper", and launched at a
well-attended seminar held in October. Consistent with our approach to industrial relations
matters, we have engaged in consultation with employers, unions, technical people and
professionals in the area. This document aims to expand and stimulate thinking and debate
about occupational health and safety. Your submissions are needed in order to shape the Act;
not only in the way it is written, but in the way it will operate and meet its objectives.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Business research is of recent origin and is largely supported by business
organizations that hope to achieve competitive advantages. Research methodology lays down
the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying the problem.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problems. It may
be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. It includes the
overall research design, the sampling procedure, data collection method and analysis
procedure.

3.2 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data
in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure. The research design is the conceptual structure within which research is
conducted. It constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data.

Descriptive research
Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with describing the
characteristics of a particular individual, or of a group.

Sampling Design/Techniques
Sampling is the process of selecting a sufficient number of elements from the
population, so that a study of the sample and an understanding of its properties or
characteristics would make it possible for us to generalize such properties or characteristics to
the population elements.
Sampling design is to clearly define set of objects, technically called the universe to
be studied. The sampling design used in this study is probability sampling. Sampling
technique used is convenience sampling.


17

Sample size
The concern, which is considered for this study, is around Devi Spinning Mills
Private Limited. 200 workers are working in this concern. The sample taken for the study
is 82.

3.3 DATA COLLECTION METHODS
While deciding about the method of data collection for the study the researcher should
keep in mind the two types of data collection.

Data Used For Analysis
Chi square
Anova
T Test
Correlation
Weighted average

Primary Data
The primary datas are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus
happen to be original in character.
With help of the structured questionnaire, personally administered interview
technique has been used for the collection of Primary data from the respondents.

Secondary Data
The secondary datas are those which have already been collected by someone else
and which already have been passed through the statistical process. The secondary data has
been collected from the company records, journals and various websites.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

4.1 ANALYSIS
Analysis is the process of placing the data in the ordered form, combining them with
the existing information and extracting the meaning from them. The raw data becomes
information only when they are analyzed and when put in a meaningful form.

4.2 INTERPRETATION
Interpretation is the process of relating various bits of information to other existing
information. Interpretation attempts to answer, What relationship exists between the findings
to the research objectives and hypothesis framed for the study in the beginning.
