COURSE DESCRIPTION
Accidents lead to human tragedy, economical loss to individual, company and the nation.
Safe acts lead to increase in productivity. The present course highlights the importance of
general safety and its prevention, extended to mechanical, electrical sand chemical safety.
The Industrial safety course helps in motivating the staff and students to understand the
reason for fire , its prevention. Controlling of fire by various means are highlighted.
Importance of chemical safety, labeling of chemicals, hand signals during forklift operations
in industrial and aerodromes will help in to understand and apply the techniques in practical
field. A visit to campus, various labs, workshops, local industries and fire stations helps in
analyzing the importance of safety and corrective measures through case studies.

Practicability of Industrial Safety

Why workplace safety is important? There is more to this question than one think.
Workplace safety is very important for each and every employee in the industry because all the
workers desire to work in a safe and protected atmosphere. Health and safety is the key factor
for all the industries in order to promote the wellness of both employees and employers. It is a
duty and moral responsibility of the company to look after the employee’s protection.

Each and every person who leaves his home for his work in the morning should come back to
his home in evening in good health. Have you ever imagined that your loved one will never be
returning home? Or you get a call that he/she is in the hospital due to some incident occurred?
These thoughts only get us goose bumps. This is the only reason that why it is important to
create a safe working environment.

These days, workplace health and safety procedures are important for the well-being of both
employees and employers because human loss is immeasurable and intolerable. As, such loss
or injuries can employ major loss to the families.

All the industries do have safety risks but the management should devote their time to think
and strategize the things that what safety precautions are required in their company to make
sure that their workers are safe enough for all the time. Also, the management should confirm
with all the workers related to their daily work and comfort. So, that the management can take
the same step according to the desired aspects of workers. This helps them in improving the
productivity and quality of the products and lot more.

1. Aware about the surroundings: There are many employees who doesn’t bother about their
surrounding hazards. But, it is important to observe your co-employees working
circumstances. Once you get to know about the particular hazards that occur at your
workplace, then it will help you in reducing the risk and allow you to take the precautionary
steps.

2. Reduce workplace stress: Most of the employees are not fit and healthy because of their
busy schedule, which includes long working hours, work-pressure and conflicts occur with co-
workers or with the boss of the organization. And, all these can lead to some illness or
depression to the employees. Also, this not only affects their professional life but also creates
the nuisance in their personal lives too. So, instead of waiting to get unfit, it is better that you
start take care of your health, by taking regular breaks, sit in an appropriate posture with
appropriate diet. It will be better for you to schedule your work accordingly and manage the
things to reduce your workplace stress.

3. Use tools appropriately: Take appropriate precautions while using machinery or any other
tool, instead of taking any shortcuts. Taking shortcuts is one of the biggest reason behind
workplace loss. It’s a biggest safety risk to use scaffolding as a ladder or one tool instead of
another for a particular job. So, it is always recommended to use the correct tools and reduce
the opportunity of workplace injury.

4. Keep crisis exits which are easily accessible: In case there is an emergency, you will need
quick access to the exits. It is also advised to keep clear usage of equipment shutoffs which
might stop you from performing at emergency.

5. Update Your Supervisor about the unsafe conditions: It is important that you keep
updating your supervisor about the hazards or risks occur at workplace. They should be legally
obligated to ensure that their employees are working a safe environment or not. And, in case,
if the employees are not working in safe conditions, then it is the responsibility of the
supervisor to listen and understand their condition and create safe working environment for
employees.

6. Use mechanical assistance: Whenever, you want to carry or lift up some heavy
equipment’s then you should use a conveyor belt, crank or forklift. There are lot of risks
involved, if you try to lift something which is heavier, it can affect your weighing capability
and can lead to some muscle displacement. So, make sure that use the appropriate tools for not
harming yourself.

7. Stay Alert: There are many employees who usually compromise or ignore the alerts of
advance warning and due to this, a number of workplace injuries or fatalities occur.

8. Reduce Workplace Environment Stress: Stress to any employee or to any co-worker, can
lead into depression and into concentration problems. And the main reason includes, extended
working hours, excess of work, insecurity of job and issues which occur at co-workers or
professionals. So, instead of taking stress on your shoulders, you should discuss it with your
supervisor and ask him/her to look after your problems which you are facing in the
organization.

9. Wear the right safety equipment’s: It is essential that you wear the right protection
equipment tools during your work. And, the equipment’s can be in any form like, earplugs,
earmuffs, hard hats, gloves, full-face masks, safety gloves and any other equipment which is
required to wear while working. These tools will prevent the workers from the incidents that
occur at workplace.

10. Sit in a proper posture: If have a sitting job, then it is essential than keep your posture
correct, while working on a desk. You need to keep your shoulders in line and straight back to
avoid any spine problem. Try to ignore stooping and twisting regularly and if possible, then try
to use the comfort designed furniture and the safety equipment’s, so that the desired things will
be in your reach.

Safety is one of the biggest issue and it is completely the responsibility of the mangers and the
business owners to make sure that their employees are working in safe environment or not.
The management should make sure that they keep on motivating and boosting the employees
to make them active in the working process.

There should be an appropriate discussions done about the work and the culture of the office
on regular intervals, so that the management remain aware that how they simplify the things
for the employee’s comfort. Also, to motivate the workers, management should provide
rewards as an appreciation towards their work. Thus, these only steps will make your
workplace very secure and safe for the employees to work.
