ABSTRACT
This study is an outcome of the title called A study on Effectiveness of
Employees Safety and Health with reference to Rane Madras Limited which has undertaken
at Rane Madras Limited.
Employees Safety and Health look upon prevention of accidents basically as an
engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of mechanical safety devices. In
fact, accident prevention and safety are inter related and, therefore require a multi dimensional
approach. Its importance has increased because of large-scale industrialization in which
human beings are subjected to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards. .
Total population is 369; from that 100 employees were selected using simple
random sampling method and a well structured questionnaire was framed in order to extract
the required information from the respondents. Questionnaires were collected through
personal interview.
The various statistical tools like percentage method, chi square test and
correlation analysis were used in this study. The findings of the study reveal that major cause
for the work place accident is unsafe handling of material. So the vestibule training method
can be included in employee training program. Ergonomics method enables better employees
safety and health.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
EMPLOYEE SAFETY
Since the begging of the present century, employee safety and health problems at work
have been engaged attention of the psychologists, sociologists and the industrial engineers.
Psychologists are concerned with the theoretical considerations of accident causation and the
research into accident control, through proper selection, training and the education of the
employee; and the social and psychological factors that influence the individuals behaviour
in general. Engineers and safety officers usually render necessary practical advice on certain
aspects of safety in industry. They look upon prevention of accidents basically as an
engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of mechanical safety devices. In
fact, accident prevention and safety are inter related and, therefore require a multi dimensional
approach. Its importance has increased because of large-scale industrialization in which
human beings are subjected to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards.
Besides, modern industry is characterized by complicated mechanisms, intricate job
requirements, and fast moving production lines. One of the important consequences of all this
is increased dangers of human life, through accidents.
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT AND INDUSTRIAL INJURY
The life of the industrial workers is full of risk and hazards. The injuries may be
caused as a result of any unsafe activities, or act of
their part or chance occurrence or as a result of some unsafe work condition or unsafe act of
employees themselves, or defective plant or shop layout, inadequate ventilation , unsafe and
insufficient space for movement inside the plant or shop, etc.
An industrial accident may be defined as, an occurrence which interferes with the
orderly progress of work in an industrial establishment. According to Factories Act of 1948,
it is an occurrence in an industrial establishment causing bodily injury to a person for which
him unfit to resume his duties in the next 48 hours. In other words it is an unexpected event
which is neither expected nor designed to occur . It is always sudden for a gradual process
does not constitute an accident. Moreover, the event or occurrence should be something to
which a definite time, data and place can be assigned.
An industrial injury has been defined as a personal injury to an employee which has
been caused by an accident or an occupational disease, and which arise out of ,or in the course
of, employment , and which would entitle such employee to compensation under the
Workmens Compensation Act , 1923.
NATURE OF ACCIDENT
The nature of an accident may vary from industry to industry. The employee may fall
from a height while engaged on a particular assignment; or he may be caught in a machine
while working on it; or he may fall against a machine; or parts of a machine having a
horizontal protruding motion may cause strike against him; or an explosives used carelessly
may explode, and injure an employee. Such accidents may result in disablement or death.
Disablement- whether partial or total may take a form of a loss of ability to work
or to move. Such incapacity may be partial or total. Both types of disablement may be
temporary or permanent.
Permanent partial disablement reduces his ability to earn an income from any
employment which he was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident occurred.
Total disablement , on the other hand, is a disablement, whether temporary or
permanent, which incapacitates a workman and makes it impossible for him to engage in any
work.
CAUSES OF ACCIDENT
Nature and causes of accident may vary from organization to organization. Basically
industrial accidents will arise either due to technical faults or due to human follies or errors.
Therefore the causes of accidents may be attributed to work related causes and worker related
causes.
term Health is a positive and dynamic concept and implies more than an
absence of illness. The W.H.O has defined health as: a state of complete physical, mental and
social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Industrial health refers
to a system of public health and preventive medicine which is applicable to industrial
concerns. According to the joint I.L.O / W.H.O. committee on organizational health, industrial
health is
The prevention and maintenance of physical, mental and social well beings of workers
in all occupations.
Protection of workers in their employment from risk resulting from factors adverse to
health.
The basic objective of industrial health is the prevention of disease and injury rather than
the cure of disease. It involves a programme of health conversation and prevention of
occupational diseases. Veil observes that the aim of industrial hygiene is the promotion and
maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well being of the workers;
the prevention of factor which make for ill health in their working condition; their protection
in their occupation from risks arising from factors which are adverse to the maintenance of
health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment which is
adapted to his psychological and physiological equipment; and to summaries, the adaptation
of work to man and each man on his job.
Have the support and guidance pf top management in the implementation of safety
policy.
Educate and train employees about the safety policy and the importance for an
organization. Even the workers at the lowest operating level should have a clear
understanding 0of the methods and procedures to be followed to ensure safety at the
workplace.
Appoint a safety director to ensure that the safety programs are progressing in
accordance to the set directions.
Have a safety engineering process that includes designing of new products, processes
and machines, structuring the layout of plants and equipment, providing safety devices
for employees working on hazardous jobs, keeping the work place clean, well lit and
properly ventilated, maintaining a well designed system for detection, prevention and
control of fire, dust fumes, inflammable gases and explosives.
Conduct an organization wide audit to ensure the implementation of the safety policy
and strict adherence to all the safety rules.
Keep a track of the accidents that take place so that they can be avoided in the future.
It is not necessary that all the organization have the above mentioned elements for the
implementation of safety policy. However, if they are taken into consideration,
accidents can be avoided.
Apart from the above mentioned steps it is also the duty of the employer to understand
the following issues:
in the design and evaluation of worksite health programs. Developments in these areas
suggest that the field of worksite health may be undergoing a fundamental paradigm shift
away from individually oriented wellness programs (provided at the worksite and aimed
primarily at changing employees' health behavior) and toward broader formulations
emphasizing the joint impact of the physical and social environment at work, job-person fit,
and work policies on employee well-being.
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.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH AIMS AT
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 Rane Madras Limited.
UNIVERSE AND SAMPLING:
This study was restricted to the blue collar employees. Out of the universe of 369 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.
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.
PERCENTAGE METHOD
In this project percentage method test and used. The following are the formula
Percentage of Respondent =
No. of Respondent
x 100
(O-E)2/ E
CORRELATION ANALYSIS
Correlation Analysis is a statistical technique used to measure the magnitude of
linear relationship between two variables. Correlation Analysis is not used in isolation to
describe the relationship between variables. To analyze the relation between two variables,
two prominent correlation coefficient are used the Pearson product correlation coefficient
and Spearmans rank correlation coefficient .
In this study the Pearson product correlation coefficient is used to find the correlation
coefficient between respondents awareness level at the time of joining with employees
participation in suggestion scheme & respondents awareness level at present and the
counseling .
This is also known as simple correlation coefficient and is denoted by r.The r
value ranges from -1, through 0, to +1.It is calculated using the formula
r
xy / x2. y2
