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
2
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.

1.3 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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
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”.
10
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.
11
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
12
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

13
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

14
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
15
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
16
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.
