1.1.1 Introduction to IT Industry
IT refers to the field of information technology such as the computer and digital
media industry. Provides hardware, software, and online services worldwide. All IT
companies provide a few services and support some may provide hardware services,
while others provide software and other services.
India's IT Services industry was started in Mumbai in 1967 with the establishment of
Tata Consultancy Services which in 1977 partnered with Burroughs to start deploying
Indian IT services. The first software export center, SEEPZ - a precursor to modern IT
parks - was established in Mumbai in 1973. More than 80 percent of national
software shipments came from SEEPZ in the 1980s.

1. Political aspects - These are the elements that integrate government laws and
regulations in any area of business. Factors such as customer protection law, terrorist
attraction or threats, and competition laws are also known to influence the operation
of any business regardless of the situation. The Indian government has always been
supportive and leading the growth of IT services. The government has decided to
contract IT work in IT companies that promote new and more opportunities for the
company and the IT industry as a whole. The Indian government has simplified and
strengthened the Information Technology Act, of 2000 to provide a complete legal
environment.
2. Economic factors - The global economic downturn, rising labor costs, competition
from other IT companies, and increased contract fees are just a few of the factors
affecting the IT sector. Currency fluctuations and inflation have had a significant
impact on the industry during the recession. The recession has been one of the most
important factors affecting the global economy. Creates a low-quality attribute due
to functional properties and cuts. The slowdown in the financial and banking industry
has led to a decline in revenue and this has had a profound effect on the IT sector.
3. Social features - These are factors ranging from workers' rights, nationality of the
chosen IT Company, language barrier, or other common social features. Due to the
large number of people in India who do not speak English, this has helped to
promote good relations in the industry and the international arena. Many institutions
in the country offer IT courses that create job opportunities for many people at a low
cost.
4. Technical features- India offers the lowest prices in the world. Today, India has the
second-largest telecommunications network behind China providing 3G, business
telephony services, WI-MAX and VPN have become intermediate.

5. Legal aspects- India has come up with good Practices that have made it easier for
the IT sector to progress. It has become easier for IT companies to make electronics
using the legal infrastructure created and implemented by the Legal Aspects and
Policies IT Act 2000. Government can easily publish a notice on the web that signs
electronic governance.
The IT industry accounted for 8% of India’s GDP in 2020. According to STPI (Software
Technology Park of India), software exports by the IT companies connected to it,
stood at Rs. 1.20 lakh crore (US$ 16.29 billion) in the first quarter of FY22.

investment activities due to low cost structure, large influx of major players into the
Indian market, loosening of previous FDI restrictions, and strong strengths in areas
such as IT, management, civil engineering. , communications, petrochemicals, energy
and metals. Continuous growth will eventually lead to an expected increase in
employment.

Health and Safety is a term that usually covers legal requirements that fall under the
Occupational Health and Safety Act etc. 1974. The term Health and Safety is often
used to describe Occupational Health and Safety, and is related to the prevention of
accidents and poor health. to employees and those who may be affected by their
work.
Occupational Health and Safety Act etc. The 1974 Act is a piece of legal legislation
that came into existence following the Robens Report *. It is from this law that the
term came to be widely used. Prior to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 40, in
2014, occupational safety was included under the Factories Act 1961 and the Office,
Shops and Railways Premises Act 1963. These laws were amended and repealed over
time. by HASAW and the following law.
Both employers and employees have obligations under the Occupational Health and
Safety Act etc. The 1974 Act and other health and safety laws enacted under it.
A workplace free from injuries and accidents attracts employees. The staff is satisfied
and very productive in such an environment. A safe working environment is
important for both employees and employers alike. It is the right of all workers to be
safe in the workplace.

It is impossible to quantify the effects of human injury. They can have devastating
effects on employees and their families and friends.
That is why occupational safety and health measures are needed. They are important
for the well-being of employers and employees alike. The feeling of confidence that a
person has, knowing that he will return safely to work, is more important than
anything else.
There are occupational safety and health risks in all companies. Factors affecting
occupational safety include unsafe working conditions, environmental hazards,
substance abuse and workplace violence.
For example, employees working in an IT company may have to work with improper
cables or electrical equipment. Even in a construction company, workers may be
exposed to the dangers of using heavy equipment.
To combat these risks, employers must develop strategies that ensure and promote
safety in their workplaces.
This is the first step to create a safe working environment. Employers need to identify
workplace hazards and safety issues first. Then they must take measures to address
them accordingly.
Mechanical problems can occur at any time while operating machinery in the
workplace. Also, working with heavy equipment is very risky and can cause accidents.
18

If employees need to work with chemicals, they have to be very cautious. Dangerous
chemicals can burn or poison employees. Inhaling or ingesting them can even cause
death.
Also, working with electronic equipment can have risks as well. Faulty electrical
equipment can electrocute employees, causing severe problems.
Employees should be aware of the types of equipment and know the hazards in their
workplace. This enables them to stay clear of such dangers and unfortunate
situations. Also, employers should train employees in the proper operation of
machinery and equipment.
The first step in building a safety plan is to make all employees committed to
workplace safety. One way to do this is to include workplace safety in the company's
equipment statement. It should be the job of every employee to make safety
policies.
Employers should investigate all hazards in the workplace. They should encourage
employees to follow all safety procedures.
In addition, employers should clearly state the risk of non-compliance in writing. This
reduces the chances of errors.
Training is an important part of every company's safety plan to protect workers from
danger. Research shows that new employees are at greater risk for accidents at work.
Lack of knowledge of occupational hazards and proper work practices that create this
high risk.

For example, employers should adequately teach the operation of heavy equipment
to employees. Only qualified or certified employees should use such types of
equipment. That is why it is important to provide professional safety training to staff.
The usage of equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause workplace
injuries is significant. Not doing so can cause injury or even death.
Employees may have to work with chemicals, machines, electronics, and other
potential work hazards. Employers must provide such employees with personal
protective equipment (P.P.E.).
P.P.E. should be safely designed, constructed, and fit comfortably. Examples of P.P.E.
are gloves, protective eyewear, clothing, earplugs, hard hats, etc.
Employees must inform any safety hazards or work risks to the management.
Employers are legally obligated to ensure safe working environments for their
employees. They must end workplace safety hazards and promote safety in the
workplace.
Bad posture is one of the main reasons for back pain. It is imperative to practice good
and correct posture to reduce the risk of getting hurt.
For example, if you have to sit for long hours, use specially designed chairs. Also,
always sit upright.
Workplace stress can cause many health problems like anxiety, depression, etc.

Individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs are less alert. Their
decision-making ability, coordination, concentration, and motor control get
compromised. This creates risks for workplace injury and fatalities.
An industrial job may need employees to work with heavy equipment. There are
many injury risks involved in trying to lift and move heavy objects. Employees can
use a conveyor belt, forklift, or wheelbarrow instead of lifting manually.
A safe working environment is a feature of good companies around the world. All
employees want the assurance of their safety and security. Occupational safety is a
serious problem. Employers must ensure that their employees work in a safe
environment. Management systems and business owners have a responsibility to
improve occupational safety. Employers should encourage employees to use safe
procedures and to use safety equipment. They should promote safety policies and

safety programs. Also, employees should be aware of the dangers of using dangerous
equipment.
• The safety climate is said to be one of the contributors to climate change in the
organization, which is considered by Zohar (1980) as a summary of employees'
beliefs and views on occupational safety. In its original design, it was thought that the
climate of safety served as a framework for ethical reference, such as that workers
developed “coherent ideas and expectations about ethical emergencies and behaved
appropriately” (Zohar, 1980, p. 96). In short, a climate of safety is a summary that
describes the safety behavior of an organization or workplace that is reflected in
employees 'beliefs about safety and which is thought to predict workers' behavior in
relation to safety in that area. The need for this concept has arisen in different areas,
including the need to define the factors that support safe work ethic, the need to
define the 'taste' of safety in the organization, and as one of the factors that will
measure the change in the workplace.
• The occupational safety concept refers to the awareness of employees about basic
safety information, occupational hazards, the risks associated with those hazards, the
implementation of risk prevention, and the application of safe practices, strategies,
procedures, and workplace safety culture.

• Employees with a positive view of safety produce high quality products and
services, work efficiently, save money and valuable time that would otherwise be
spent on accidents and injuries.
Managers' commitment to safety creates inspiration for the whole organization. One
expert believes that “fundraising alone is not enough to promote safety and
management should be involved in safety and health programs”. Managers must
show employees that the importance of safety and health is more than productivity,
23
B.R.C.M. College of Business Administration
A study on Employees’ perception towards Workplace Safety Climate at ASK – EHS
Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Surat.
safety must first be truly applied in the workplace, and in order to achieve this,
managers must give importance to safety and health considerations when making
decisions.
In daily job interviews, health and safety issues should be considered, and managers
should consider carefully what employees say. Perhaps the best benefits of staff
involvement in safety issues are reported to be non-existent. If employees feel that
their communication is important for safety, they are encouraged to participate in
safety issues. Employees use knowledge of the environment around them to
understand what factors put people in danger. Employees need control to make
appropriate changes to the system. Lastly, the ideas and suggestions of employees
need the support of management to feel that they can truly make a difference in the
lives of their colleagues.
Employees should be able to share their views with management by holding regular
meetings with employee representatives and management boxes or suggestions.
When managers and staff in both formal and informal situations regularly discuss
expectations and topics, all team members better understand the nature of working
relationships. Managers must demonstrate responsiveness to the needs of
employees. If employees knew that expressing their wishes was not helpful, there
would be no desire for them to report problems. While one employee may be
responding to incoming complaints about each company's policy, another employee
may actually have a solution to issues that cause grievances, such as product
modification.
With regard to the culture of suspicion, the organization should develop a culture of
error prevention, and provide an appropriate environment for employees to report
errors without fear of consequences. To achieve this goal, organizations must
develop and manage risk management programs based on a culture of acceptable

error. Blaming an employee is a common practice; this results in the employee losing
his or her motivation, frustration, and engaging in retaliatory actions. In the event of
an accident, one should consider the causes of the accident. Staff allegations result in
unreported and unreliable reporting problems.
Safety training enhances knowledge and motivation, and thus improves a climate of
safety. Therefore, effective safety training by determining educational safety
requirements, using comprehensive training methods, and evaluating academic
performance plays an important role in strengthening safety culture, reducing risks,
and consequently managing injuries and injuries. Education would lead to a change
in attitude and behavior.
The aspect of job satisfaction affects the performance and safety of employees.
Industry management experts say, “Satisfaction with work is a complex concept, and
is associated with many factors. In other words, job satisfaction will be achieved
through the implementation of a set of features; These factors include personality
and working conditions, salary, job development opportunities, quality monitoring,
and relationships with colleagues and others”. Employees, who have more
satisfaction at work, quickly learn new job-related tasks and face lower job risks. The
salary of almost all work groups is considered to be one of the most important
working conditions. In some cases, occupational safety seems to be undermined by
low wages and a lack of resources.
This feature refers to the relationship between employees and managers. Managers
communicate directly with employees, and therefore, they can influence
safety-related behaviors such as participation in safety issues. Managers should
behave in the way that employees are involved in security activities, and feel that
their opinions are important to the manager. Managers can improve the
organization's climate by bringing employees closer together, thus reducing tensions

Safety precautions play a vital role in reducing injuries and deaths in the workplace.
This guide explains how workplaces can set up effective health and safety
monitoring. Must be read with security check-ups - supervisors with specialized
knowledge or skill guide note.
Continuous improvement means that the current situation is not entirely satisfactory,
and we should always seek to improve. Sustainable development should include all
people, including managers, employees, and employees. Organizations need to have
a long-term plan to improve the security situation, and the goal is to achieve it by
planning and implementing remedial measures. An occupational health and safety
management system is needed to eliminate or reduce the risk to employees and
other stakeholders who are exposed to health and safety risks posed by the
organization. With a safety management system, continuous improvement can be
achieved by taking corrective measures.

collected from all the employees working at ASK-EHS Engineering & Consultants Pvt.
Ltd. The selected samples are met in person and the data has been collected with the
help of a questionnaire.
5.4 Population
Population is defined as the whole group that the research focuses on. The
population for this study consists of all the employees working at ASK-EHS
Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Surat.
Sampling refers to the method, criteria and procedures used to select subjects for
the study. The researcher should have a clear understanding of the research question
and the study design before the selection of the subjects for the study can begin.
Sampling can be defined as the process by which a relatively small number of
individuals or measure of individuals, objects or events is chosen and analyzed in
order to find out something about the entire population from which it was chosen.
The sample frame taken for this survey was all the employees of ASK-EHS
Engineering & Consultants Pvt. Ltd., Surat. Employees from every department were
selected according to their availability.
In this research, non – probability judgemental technique will be used because data
will be collected from sample of the employees who are directly approachable having
appropriate knowledge of the topic and whose main job is related to safety such as
Safety audit and compliance, safety trainers, safety officers, supervisors, Software
developers related to safety, etc. and not from departments like Accounts
department. Hence, the result will be highly accurate with minimum margin of error.

Earlier research is done in this field on a global level which majorly focuses on the
parameters which forms workplace safety climate and the relationship between
various factors and safety climate in different industries. But despite this, there is
limited research on safety practices and employees’ perception about it. Moreover,
there is a lack of generalized research on this topic because most published research
is based on longitudinal methods in specific industries.
Hence, I did a cross sectional research on the target population of employees who
provide safety services to get a clear picture about what are the perceptions towards
safety practices and how it varies as per their demographic and work profile. Results
will be highly beneficial to understand employee perception and steps to be taken to
build a positive safety climate at the workplace.
