Executive Summary
The study is planned to evaluate the safety management strengths and weaknesses on Kiam
Metal Industries Limited (KMIL).To analyze worker safety performance some key variables are
selected Liquidity Ratios, solvency ratios. From the analysis and interpretation of data it was
observed that the company managerial performance, profit earning capability etc. The report
describes how management commitment and worker representation in OSH management can
significantly increase a company's chances of implementing good practice. It also highlights the
need to support micro and small enterprises (MSEs) with OSH in line with the Strategic
Framework on Health and Safety at Work on the work places. The tendency for organizations to
focus more on traditional 'safety' aspects of OSH than on health and psychosocial risks was also
identified as an area that must be addressed, particularly in MSE and certain sectors.

1.1 Introduction of Safety Management: Kiam Metal Industries Ltd. (a sister
concern of BRB group) is a private limited company was formed and incorporated in 1990
and situated at BSCIC Industrial Estate, Kushtia, 5 km. from Kushtia town. Kiam Metal
Industries Limited is the largest kitchenware manufacturing industry in Bangladesh and
producing all types of cooking utensils which are used as household items.
Safety management is an evolutionary discipline that aims at turning safety and its
management in socio-technical systems into a business function, along lines similar to those
through which finance, legal, human resources, quality and any other business of the
organization are managed as business functions. Socio-technical systems operate and, most
important, fail in unique ways. An appreciation of success and failure of socio-technical
systems operations requires a different perspective as compared to success and failure of
purely technical systems.
1.2 Background of Safety Management on Kiam Metal: The products of Kiam
Metal are so qualitative that it could easily take the place of the foreign products competing
with them and can save our foreign currency by reducing imports of kitchenware utensils.
After fulfilling the domestic demand KIAM has exported to Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Australia,
England, Netherlands, and India etc. Thus the contribution of KIAM is increasing the
national economy day by day. It is playing a vital role in socio-economic development of the
country.
Kiam Metal Industries Limited is a private limited company incorporated in the year 1990
and has continued its operations since then. It is located at Basic Industrial Estate Kushtia-
700, 5(five) km from Kushtia city. The main objective of the company is to manufacture
aluminum utensils and especially enamel utensils for domestic use for common man.
1.3 History of Safety Management on Kiam Metal: Experience in setting various
hazard prevention resolutions, sound knowledge of fire safety regulations, in-depth
knowledge of risk assessment methods, Ability to work under deadlines, ability to evaluate
all fire safety devices, good communication skills in both oral and written form, skilled in
working with team. Ensure that all fire and safety equipment in an organization is in place
and in good condition at all times. Ensure that there are well-developed plans for the easy
evacuation of people from a building in the event of a fire on product fire safety tests from
time to time Enforce safety codes and regulations/guidelines within a specific organization
Training and educating colleagues or employees on general fire safety rules and procedures.
Initial guidelines for the safe management of vessels were adopted by the IMO in October
1989. Subsequently, in 1993, the IMO adopted the ISM Code, which was made mandatory
in 1998 and further revised in 2000. Its stated purpose is to provide an international standard
for the safe management and operation of ships and for pollution prevention.
1.4 Origin of the study on safety management:
Even though the presence of safety management system practices is linked with incident
reduction and may represent a necessary first-step in accident prevention, safety
performance may also depend on mediation by safety-focused cognitive and emotional
engagement by workers. Thus, when organizations invest in a safety management system
approach to reducing/preventing accidents and improving safety performance, they should
also be concerned about winning over the minds and hearts of their workers through human
performance-based safety management systems designed to promote and enhance worker
engagement.
1.5 Problem statement on safety management inKiam Metal:
Electrical Fires – According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
electrical wiring and faulty wire insulation are the leading causes of ignition within
commercial buildings and non-confined areas. After a fire, it is difficult to identify the
source of the fault due to poor cable management, but since non-confined areas are
especially with workers engaged in the work, accidental damage to cables should be
considered.
Equipment Damage – Exposed power cables that are damaged can cause electrical power
spikes, intermittent power delivery and short circuits. While sensitive electronics equipment
such as computers and printers are most vulnerable to destruction by power surges, other
operating equipment that contains motors can overheat and shorten their lifespan.
1.6 Significance of the study: Certified by the “Ministry of Environment & Forest” for
special contribution in the realm of ‘Environment Pollution Control’. Being the father figure
in the industry, BRB has always been the first to set an example for others in contributing in
different aspects for the betterment of the country. SMS has four components in its
framework which is often referred to as the Four Pillars of Safety Management System.
a) Safety Policy and Objectives: Employers should make safety an integral part of
company values, demonstrating their commitment daily. Specifically, top management
needs to set safety goals as policy, while being visible and personally involved in meeting
them.
b) Safety Risk Management: In order to effectively control safety risks, designated staff
should perform a series of interconnected processes collectively called Safety Risk
Management (SRM). It generally focuses on anticipating and mitigating risks at the process
level.
C) Security Assurance: Safety Assurance (SA) is the component of the Safety Management
System that deals with monitoring the control of risks during operations. After strategically
putting control systems in place, their effectiveness and efficiency should also be evaluated.
d) Safety promotion: Used interchangeably with safety culture, safety promotion is defined
as activities that support SMS implementation in an organization, such as training,
knowledge-sharing, and communication.
1.9 Objectives of the study: The purpose of a safety management system is to provide
a structured management approach for controlling safety risks in operations. Effective
security management must consider the security-related processes of the organization's
specific structure and operations. The SMS development begins with setting the
organizational safety policy. It defines the generic principles upon which the SMS is built
and operated. This first step outlines the strategy for achieving acceptable levels of safety
within the organization.
Safety planning and the implementation of safety management procedures are the next key
steps in the processes designed to mitigate and contain risk in operations. Once these
controls are ready, quality management techniques can be utilized to ensure that they
achieve the intended objectives and, where they fail, to improve them. This is accomplished
by deployment of safety assurance and evaluation processes which in turn provide for a
continuous monitoring of operations and for identifying areas of safety improvement.
1.10 Research questions: Each SMS component contains elements that describe
specific needs for the successful implementation and maintenance of a safety management
system. Originated from ICAO, the 12 safety management system elements are:
Safety Accountability and Responsibilities
Appointment of Key Safety Personnel
Safety Risk Assessment and Mitigation
Safety Performance Monitoring and Measurement
o What are the critical steps in your job?
What is the worst thing that could happen?
How do you prevent the “worst” thing from happening?
How can I help you prevent a potential injury?
Do you feel like you get the proper safety training?
2.1 Definition of Safety Management:
Safety Management System (SMS) is a collection of structured, company-wide processes
that provide effective risk-based decision-making for daily business functions. Safety
Management Systems help organizations offer products or services at the highest level of
safety and maintain safe operations. According to the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), the key processes of a safety management system are hazard
identification, occurrence reporting, risk management, performance measurement, and
quality assurance.
Safety management involves steps to reduce the risk of accident and injury. Many companies
do this informally, while others adopt an official safety management system. A safety
management system is designed to manage safety risk in the workplace, occupational safety
being defined as the reduction of risk to a level that is as low as is reasonably practicable or
ALARP to prevent people getting hurt
2.8 Method of Safety Management on Kiam Metal: Remove all nails and staples
from the reel flanges before moving a reel, and avoid all objects that could crush, gouge or
impact the cable when moving.
These are three methods implemented by designers and are classified as shown below.
1. Inherently safe design measures
2. Safeguarding and complimentary protective measures
3. Information for use
In other words, it is desirable to implement measures according to the following
procedure, which is called the 3-step Method and protective measures.
Your company can overcome these barriers to understanding safety requirements by:
Offering site-specific supervisor safety training.
Compiling supervisor safety responsibilities into concise handbooks for easy
reference.
Obtaining outside materials developed specifically for managers and supervisors.
Establishing a policy of interactive, one-on-one training. This involves asking
people specific questions about their safety efforts and showing them where to
improve.
•All system operations represent some degree of risk. Recognize that human interaction
with elements of the system entails some element of risk.
•Weigh the risks and make judgements according to your own knowledge, inputs from
subject matter experts, experience, and programed need. There may be no ‘single
solution’ to a safety problem. There are usually a variety of directions to pursue.
•Risks are reduced asymptotically. Thus the closer to zero we get the more effort is
needed. We thus need to know when enough is enough.
2.12 Conclusion:
The lives and health of human beings, the growth and prosperity of the economy, and the
increasing need for safety are immediate concerns which provided the original
momentum for the progress of safety management. In recent years there has been a
realization that the reliability of complex work systems in achieving operational goals
safely depends on social structures as well as technical arrangements. Hence, it is now
necessary to mitigate the risks in order to achieve safe operations in the public places.
3.1 Definition of methodology: These processes also provide effective and objective
mechanisms to assess the risk presented by hazards and implement ways to eliminate these
hazards or mitigate the risks associated with them. The Kiam Metal Industries Limited has been
selected for an in-depth study of the analysis and interpretation of the financial statements of the
company. The study is based on secondary data contained in the annual reports and annual
accounts of the company during the period under study. The data have been collected from the
company by visiting personally. Safety assessment is an important aspect of health management for
complex system. Kiam Metal is one of the expert systems which can handle uncertainty, ambiguity and
conflicting information. In safety assessment based on Kiam metal, its initial parameters are determined
by experts and then modified by optimization models
3.2 Primary and secondary data: Current studies in system safety assessment can be
divided into three categories, the data-based safety assessment method, the knowledge-based
safety assessment method and the semi-quantitative information-based safety assessment
method. Data that has been generated by the researcher himself/herself, surveys, interviews,
experiments, specially designed for understanding and solving the research problem at hand.
3.4 Focus group on Kiam metal: Focus groups can help you identify and analyses
emerging psychosocial hazards and inform future planning identified in the risk assessment
process. They're ideal for consulting with workers and enable the collection of meaningful data
on people's perceptions of their work environment.
1. Watch, Listen & Learn during training.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – is crucial in the prevention of injury, so ensure
you wear it and wear it properly.
3. Watch where you place your hands.
4. Be visual of your surroundings.
5. Pay attention to what you are doing.
Work Safe BC is a provincial body set up to maintain a safe, healthful working
environment at job sites throughout the province.
Health and Safety Committees.
Employer’s Responsibilities: Watch, Listen & Learn during training., Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) – is crucial in the prevention of injury, so ensure you wear it and wear
it properly, Watch where you place your hands, Be visual of your surroundings, Pay
attention to what you are doing.
3.5 Observation: There are three imperatives for adopting safety practices. They are ethical,
legal and financial. There is a moral obligation placed on the steel plant management to ensure
that the work place and the work activities are safe. There are legal requirements defined for safe
working. Safe working also reduces down time, improves workman’s morale and promotes
systematic working, resulting into substantial reduction in the cost of production and financial
savings. Investigation procedures. Standards for new plant and process modification.
Firefighting programmers. Provision of firefighting equipment etc. Training of employees.
3.6 Ethical issues on Kiam Metal: Key ethical issues include confidentiality of medical
records; inappropriate discrimination against minorities, women, and disabled or hyper
susceptible employees; and "blaming the victim" vs. reducing exposures. Some OSHA standards
require medical monitoring; perhaps one of the most distressing issues is the failure of OSHA
and employers to analyze accumulated data systematically. All system properly maintain Kiam
Metal industries. The company has successfully established dynamic market within the country
keeping in mind the present growing market demand. It is an ISO 9001:2008 Certified, CIP
(Industry) 1998 to 2015 Company for its best quality management system.
3.7 Methodology of the study: The key processes of a safety management system are
hazard identification, occurrence reporting, risk management, performance measurement, and
quality assurance. Crafting policies and procedures in your organization that will be
implemented also plays an essential role in the direction of your program.
a) Properly prepare facing any incidents
b) Maintain rules and regulation
c) Using instrument for protect disaster.
d) waring musk, hand glops
As with other management functions, this entails planning, organizing, and deploying, with your
organizational structure in mind. Implementing a records management system can further
support your safety efforts by organizing your business’s safety protocols, managing your
documentation in a way that is easy to access and understand, and safekeeping the digital
archives of your team’s current and previous safety training.
3.8 Source of data: Regardless of how many different ways you employ within your
organization to collect data to feed into your SMS system, this article explores the numerous
ways you can get useful data. In fact, 30 different ways have been identified that you can
incorporate or adapt to improve your SMS system.
Security reporting: Safety reporting should be encouraged within the organization's
culture, depending on the organization's structure the safety reporting process can be
formalized with the introduction of safety representatives from different areas of the
business.
Security audit: Security audits and assessments are completely different from quality
audits and require different skills to deliver effective security audits.
Monitoring safety culture through surveys: As any opportunity to collect data is
valuable and offers the potential to monitor and manage trends, focusing surveys is an
important aspect of data structure that is desirable.
Ad-hoc questions on selected security issues: A relatively large pool of employee
questionnaires can be a good source of identification for issues of concern, which
subsequently leads to safety related surveys and projects.
Quality Assurance Program: Quality assurance has been around for years and is very
mature, although the nature of quality auditing is different from safety auditing, a large
amount of relevant data is collected by quality systems that can be used through SMS
systems.
Training records: Any opportunity to use qualitative data can be used as a guiding
element to understand areas where performance can be identified. It should be noted that
some information needs to be personalized before being used as data within an SMS.
3.9 Questionnaire: A questionnaire is a list of questions or items used to gather data from
respondents about their attitudes, experiences, or opinions. Questionnaires can be used to collect
quantitative and/or qualitative information.
Researcher-administered questionnaires can:
Help you ensure the respondents are representative of your target audience
Allow clarifications of ambiguous or unclear questions and answers
Have high response rates because it’s harder to refuse an interview when personal
attention is given to respondents
o Strongly agree
o Agree
o Neutral
o Disagree
o Strongly Disagree

4.5 Conclusion: According to the definition and advantages and disadvantages of methods of
measurement which were discussed in this paper, we can conclude that most of the types of
measurements are useful but implementation and quality of these kind of measurement should be
considered first and after that it should be mentioned that we should make sure that each specific
type of measurement is related and needed by specific level within organization and mixing up
these measurement types with unrelated level of organization can cause issue and inaccurate
vision from the section under measurement.
