INTRODUCTION
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

A) Company Profile:

Western Coalfields Limited Bhatadi Area (WCL) is one of the eight

Subsidiary Companies of Coal India Limited (CIL) which is under administrative

control of the Ministry of Coal. The Company incorporated under the Companies

Act, 1956 has its registered office at Coal Estate, Civil Lines, Nagpur–440001.

WCL has been conferred "Miniratna" status on 15 March 2007. The company

has contributed about 6.7% of the national coal production during 2014–15. It

has mining operation spread over the states

of Maharashtra (in Nagpur, Chandrapur & Yeotmal Districts) and Madhya

Pradesh (in Betul and Chhindawara Districts). The company is a major source of

supplies of coal to the industries located in Western India in the States of

Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and also in Southern India in the States

of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. A large numbers of

Power Houses under Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab

and Uttar Pradesh - Electricity Boards are major consumers of its coal along with

cement, steel, chemical, fertilizer, paper and brick Industries in these states.

1.
Mr. Manoj Kumar is the present Chairman-cum-Managing Director of Western

Coalfields. The total production of the Western Coalfields limited stood at

57.64.15 MT during 2019–20 against 39.73 MT during 2013–14, an increase of

3.6%.[3] The firm has set up 20 new coal projects of 40 MT per annum capacity

since 2014–15. Western Coalfields Ltd has launched a roadmap to achieve

beyond 75 million tonnes of output by FY 2023-24 as its contribution towards

the ambitious 1 billion tonnes target of parent firm Coal India.[4]

On 6 June 2020, Western Coalfields inaugurated two mines in Madhya Pradesh

and 1 mine in Maharashtra. Adasa UG to OC Mine in Nagpur and Two mines in

Chhindwara Sharda mines in Kanhan Area and Dhankhasa mines in Pench Area.

Coal mining in India had primarily been a private sector enterprise. This changed

in September 1956 when the Government of India established its own coal

company National Coal Development Corporation (NCDC).[21] Collieries run by

the Railways formed the nucleus of NCDC. This was to fulfill the fast growing

energy requirements in the country to support rapid industrialization taking place

through Five-Year Plans of the Government. In the same year, Singareni Colliery

Company, which was operating in Andhra Pradesh since 1920, was also brought

under the Government control when the Central Government and state

Government of Andhra Pradesh acquired 45% and 55% shares respectively.

2.
In 1971, the Government of India nationalized all the 214 coking-coal mines and

12 coke-ovens running in the private sector, excluding those held

by TISCO and IISCO for their captive use. On 1 January 1972, a new

Government company Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) was formed to take

control of these nationalized mines and coke-ovens. On 30 January 1973, all the

remaining 711 non-coking coalmines of the country in private sector were also

nationalized. 184 of these mines were handed over to BCCL, and remaining 527

were handed over to a newly opened department Coal Mines Authority. 4 months

later, on 14 June 1973, this department was converted into a separate Government

company CMAL. NCDC, earlier formed in 1957, was merged with CMAL, and

45% share-holding of Central Government in Singareni Collieries Company Ltd

was also handed over to CMAL.

By 1973, all coking coalmines were under BCCL, which was functioning as a

subsidiary of Steel Authority of India (SAIL) under Department of Steel of the

Ministry of Steel and Mines; and all non-coking coalmines were under CMAL,

which was under Department of Mines of the Ministry of Steel and Mines. For

better control, both BCCL and CMAL were brought on 11 October 1974 under

the Department of Coal (now an independent Ministry) of the newly formed

Ministry of Energy.

3.
On 1 November 1975, a new public-sector company Coal India Limited (CIL)

was formed to enable better organizational and operational efficiency in coal

sector. All the 4 Divisions of CMAL were given the company status, and were

brought under CIL along with BCCL. 45% share-holding of the CMAL in

Singareni Collieries Company was also transferred to CIL, and CMAL was

closed.

Thus, CIL started functioning in 1975 with 5 subsidiary companies under it.

These were Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL), Eastern Coalfields

Limited (ECL), Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), Western Coalfields

Limited (WCL), and Central Mine Planning & Design Institute

Limited (CMPDIL). In due course of time, 3 more companies were formed under

CIL by carving out certain areas of CCL and WCL. These were Northern

Coalfields Limited (NCL), South-Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL),

and Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL).

Pursuant to the Fuel Policy of 1974, CIL also started the construction of India's

First Low Temperature Carbonisation Plant at Dankuni in the late 1970s. It was

renamed as Dankuni Coal Complex, and is one of the only operational Coal gas

plant of this kind in the world.

4.
Dankuni Coal Complex has been incurring heavy loss due to the Greater Calcutta

Gas Supply Company (formerly known as Oriental Gas Co.) giving non-

remunerative price and fixing them unilaterally. Coal India is planning to venture

into Coal-to-Methanol technology at the existing Plant. The Government of India

held 100% equity of CIL from 1975 till 2010.

Initial public offering.

In October 2010, the Government of India made an initial public offering (IPO)

of 10% of the equity shares of CIL (631.6 million equity shares) to public at an

offer price of ₹245 (US$3.10) per share (at face value of ₹ 10 per share). The IPO

was oversubscribed by 14.17 times. Against an IPO issue size of ₹15,500

crore (equivalent to ₹350 billion or US$4.4 billion in 2023) it received bids

for ₹2.4 lakh crore (equivalent to ₹5.4 trillion or US$67 billion in 2023) making

it the second highest collections in any IPO in India. On the first day of its listing

on the stock market, its shares soared 40% higher than IPO price. [25][26] With the

listing, CIL became the fourth most valued company on the Indian stock

exchanges with a market value of ₹2.16 lakh crore (equivalent to ₹4.8 trillion or

US$61 billion in 2023). CIL was included in the 30-member BSE SENSEX on 8

August 2011.

5.
B) Theoretical Background

Health and Safety measures are inevitable to any organization where workers are

involved. It’s an organization’s responsibility to provide to its workers beyond

the payment of wages for their services. The worker’s health and safety on and

off the job within the organization is a vital concern of the employer. The working

environment in a hospital adversely affects the worker’s health and safety

because of the excessive heat or cold, noise, odors, fumes, dust and lack of

sanitation and pure air etc., which leads to accident or injury or disablement or

loss of life to the workers. Providing a health and safer environment is a pre-

requisite for any productive effort. These must be held in check by providing

regular health check-up, protective devices and compensatory benefits to the

workers. This research deals with the study on the health and safety measures

provided to the workers at St. Paul`s Hospital Millennium Medical College.

WHAT IS SAFETY?

Safety refers to the absence of accidents. Stated differently, safely refers to the

protection of workers from the danger of accidents. Safety, in simple terms,

means freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury or loss. Industrial safety or

employee safety refers to the protection of workers from the danger of industrial

accidents.

6.
An accident then is an unplanned and uncontrolled event in which an action or

reaction of an object, a substance, a person, or a radiation results in personal

injury.

Components of safety

Organizations that have basic safety programs in place usually take one of two

paths: either turn attention away from safety to other priorities, thinking safety

performance is adequate, or turn attention to true safety excellence.

Unfortunately, many companies that seek excellence simply try to do better at

the basics, but do not realize the thinking and programs that got the organization

from bad to good in safety will not take it from good to excellent. The

organizations with the most excellent safety performance have added four core

components to their safety efforts/excellence.

1) Strategy – While basic safety programs are adequate in the beginning, a true

safety strategy is necessary to achieve the next level of excellent performance.

Strategies can align thinking and fit among programs. Alignment and fit are the

basic building blocks of organizational excellence. It takes every person and

every program working in the same direction with the same end goals in mind to

accomplish exceptional results. Who manages safety and how they do it must be

strategically decided and reinforced. How safety is communicated and motivated

must match the management style.

7.
Compliance must become a minimum standard, not the ultimate goal. Accident

prevention must be recognized as the outcome of excellence, not the primary

target. Strategy is how to win, not just how "not to lose."

2) Assessment – Many of our clients initially have argued that assessment should

precede strategy. However, we have found that a strategy based on an assessment

tends to fill gaps rather than be a true strategy. Once a strategy is developed, an

organizational assessment can identify the best opportunities to create alignment

and fit with the strategy, rather than simply identifying perceived gaps between

reality and some artificial ideal of perfection. Assessment is difficult in

organizations with trust issues. If employees are hesitant to point out issues for

fear of the consequences, outside help may be necessary to truly assess the current

status. Some organizations think they can overcome trust issues simply by using

a perception survey that is filled out individually by each worker. While such

surveys do provide a degree of anonymity, they don't allow for following up on

the details of the issues that have been identified. This must be done in interviews

or focus groups where the trust levels again become critical. Also, perception

surveys only are one of several areas of assessment that are necessary to truly

understand where an organization and its culture are in the progression toward

safety excellence.

8.
3) Coaching – Excellence is not simply the result of great leadership; it is the

result of leading great people. People become great through coaching. For an

organization to move from good to great, coaching must become a skill that's

regular use is expected and reinforced at every level of leadership. Performance

coaching should be an integral part of the organizational training curriculum and

refresher/follow-up training should be held regularly. It should be in the job

description of every leader and a top item on their performance appraisal. It

should be discussed in every leadership meeting and coaching best practices

should be shared.

The continuous improvement of the performance of direct reports should be the

primary goal of every leader and should become the standard by which their own

performance is judged. Specific safety improvement targets should be selected in

every work group and should be the focus of the coaching efforts. Every day,

specific safety improvements should be visible and expected. This improvement

should become the primary driver of safety, replacing the lagging indicators

which should approach zero as the improvement efforts bear fruit.

4) Engagement – Aligning workers and coaching them is a good start toward

getting them engaged in safety, but more is needed. Workers need opportunities

to be involved in the work of safety in a meaningful way.

9.
Well-designed and executed behavior-based safety (BBS) processes are one

example of how this can be achieved. If workers are included in the design of the

process, and learn through discovery which behaviors can have the greatest

impact on accidental injuries, they develop a sense of ownership for this part of

safety. If they can be involved in meaningful observations, then this interaction

between workers becomes an extension of the safety coaching performed by

leadership. When this happens, all interactions between workers and leaders or

workers and other workers are aligned, and the two programs are fit for purpose

and they support the safety strategy. Organizations with good safety strategies

readily can select the process with the best fit and avoid the less-thaneffective

safety programs. Some or all of these four core components can and often do

become a part of initial, basic safety efforts. If they already are in place, they

should be used and not replaced. However, organizations with the most excellent

safety performance tend to adopt all four of these and strive to make them work

together with synergy and harmony. It is important not to wait until you have the

perfect plan to get started. Excellence is a process that grows from sincere intent

and effort and from having all the core components in place to enable success.

WHAT IS HEALTH?

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely

the absence of diseases.

10.
It’s a positive and dynamic concept which means something more than the

absence of illness.

(1) Physical Health: The health of employees results in reduced productivity,

high unsafe acts, and increased absenteeism. A healthy worker, on the other hand,

produces results opposite to these. In other words, healthy employees are more

productive, more safe conscious, and are more regular to work. The worker who

is healthy is always cheerful, confident looking and is an invaluable asset to the

organization.

(2) Mental Health: In recent years, mental health of employees, particularly that

of executives, has engaged the attention of employers. Three reasons may be

given for this development. First, mental breakdowns are common in modern

days because of pressures and tensions. Second, mental disturbances of various

types result in reduced productivity and lower profits for the organization. Third,

mental illness takes its toll through alcoholism, high employee turnover, and poor

human relationships. A mental health service is generally rendered in the

following ways:

(i) Psychiatric counseling.

(ii) Co-operation and consultation with outside psychiatrists and specialists.

(iii) Education of company personnel in the manner and the importance of mental

health.

11.
(iv) Development& maintenance of an effective human relations program.

TYPES OF ACCIDENTS

Accidents are of different types which may be classified as major and minor ones,

depending upon the severity of the injury. An accident which ends in a death, or

which results in a prolonged disability to the injured is a major one. A scratch or

a cut which does not seriously disable him/her is a minor accident, but an accident

nevertheless.

A mere incision or a deep scratch, say, on the leg or the shoulder, may or may

not immediately disable the worker, but he or she may develop disability later.

Again, a wound which may disable one worker may not disable another who

receives a similar injury.

An accident may be internal or external. If a worker falls, or an object falls on

him or her, it is possible he or she may show no external signs of injury, but he

or she may have fractured a bone or strained a muscle or nerve- which is an

internal injury.

A worker may be disabled by an injury for hour, half a day, a day, a week, a

month, or a few months.

If he or she recovers from such a disability, his or her disability is temporary. If

the injury is such that he or she will never recover fully, his or her disability is

permanent.

12.
NEED FOR SAFETY

(1) Cost Saving: Two types of costs are incurred by the management when an

accident occurs. There are the direct costs, in the form of compensation payable

to the dependents of the victim if the accident is fatal, and medical expenses

incurred in treating the patient if the accident is non-fatal. The management,

however, is not liable to meet the direct costs if the victim is insured under the

ESI scheme. When the victim is uninsured, compensation and medical expenses

are the responsibility of the management. More serious than the direct costs are

the indirect or hidden costs which the management cannot avoid. In fact, the

indirect costs are three to four times higher than the direct costs. Hidden costs

include loss on account of down-time of operators, slowed-up production rate of

other workers, materials spoiled and labour for cleaning and damages to

equipment.

(2) Increased Productivity: Safety plants are efficient plants. To a large extent,

safety promotes productivity. Employees in safe plants can devote more time to

improving the quality and quantity of their output and spend less time worrying

about their safety and well-being.

(3) Moral: Safety is important on human grounds too. Managers must undertake

accident prevention measures to minimize the pain and suffering the injured

worker and his/her family is often exposed to as a result of the accident.

13.
An employee is a worker in the factory/industry and the bread-winner for his/her

family. The happiness of his/her family depends upon the health and well-being

of the worker.

(4) Legal: There are legal reasons too for undertaking safety measures. There are

laws covering occupational health & safety, and penalties for non-compliance

have become quite severe. The responsibility extends to the safety and health of

the surrounding community, too. The supreme court held: An enterprise which is

engaged in a hazardous or inherently dangerous industry which poses a potential

threat to the health and safety of the persons working in the factory and industry

in the surrounding areas, owes an absolute and non-delegable duty to the

community to ensure that no harm results to anyone on account of the hazardous

or inherently dangerous nature. This implies unlimited liability. The civil law

establishes the extent of damages or compensation. In the criminal law, sentences

are prescribed under the pollution control laws. There is no legal ceiling on the

extent of liability.

HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK:

According to Cole (2002), employer has a common law duty to provide a safe

place of work for his or her employees and is liable at common law for accidents

encounter by his or her employees in the course of their employment.

14.
The duties (regarding health and safety) which employer owes his or her

employees basically include the following: the provision of a safe place of

employment. The provision of safe means of access to work. The provision of

safe systems of working.

The provision of adequate equipment, materials and clothing to enable employees

to carry out their work safely. The provision of competent co-workers. A duty of

care to ensure that employees are not subjected to any unreasonable risks in the

workplace.

BUILDING AN EFFECTIVE HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM

The components of effective health and safety management system are briefly

explained below:

(1) Management Leadership & Organizational Commitment: For this system

to be effective, management must show leadership and commitment to the

program. To achieve this, management should put the organization’s expectation

around health and safety into writing by developing a health and safety policy.

Employees who forms part of the health and safety committee, should be

involved in writing the policy, and to be signed by senior operating officer, to

indicate the commitment of management.

15.
(2) Roles & Responsibilities: Clearly defined and well communicated health and

safety roles and responsibilities for all levels of the organizations will create an

expectation of a standard level of performance and accountability among

employees, contractors, and visitors. All levels must be aware of their individual

roles and responsibilities under both state law and company standards.

(3) Management Commitment: For a health and safety management system to

be effective, management at all levels, should demonstrate their support of the

health and safety program. This may be demonstrated through management,

participation in health and safety leadership training meetings, facility

inspections incident investigations etc.

(4) Employee Participation: It is important for workers to be involved in the

development of the system in order to create ownership as well as help a better

fit with the culture of the organization.

(5) Hazard Identification & Assessment Process: Employers are required to

assess a work site for existing and potential hazards before work begins. Hazard

assessment data could be used to determine what worker–training needs to be

done, and to build the content of employee orientations and job training hazard

assessment data could be used as the basis for inspection checklists. In the case

of incident investigation, hazard assessment and control data can be used to help

determine if a system failure was the cause of an incident.

16.
(6) Determine Controls: Address identified hazards by assigning methods of

control to eliminate or reduce the hazard. The most effective controls can be

determined based on legal requirements, manufacturers’ specifications, company

rules, industry best practices, and worker inputs.

(7) Hazard Control: Once the hazard assessments are completed, the next step

in the development of health and safety management system is the

implementation of control measures to eliminate or reduce the risk of harm to

workers. In this case, employers should take all reasonable steps to eliminate or

control identified hazards in order to make the workplace safer.

(8) Enforcement of Controls: To enforce control methods, develop a

constructive enforcement policy, and communicate the consequences to

employees and the steps that will be taken if noncompliance occurs.

(9) Emergency Response Plan: A serious emergency (Such as explosion, fire,

or flood) could seriously affect the operation of a business and put the health,

safety, and livelihood of many employees in jeopardy. The best health and safety

management system cannot protect your company from all natural or unexpected

disasters; however, having a good emergency response plan (ERP) in place can

reduce the severity and risk of loss. Knowing what to do and who to contact can

save lives and reduce costs if disaster should strike.

17.
IMPORTANCE OF MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT ON HEALTH &

SAFETY

In order to develop a successful health and safety programme, it is essential that

there be strong management commitment and strong worker participation in the

effort to create and maintain a safe and healthy workplace. An effective

management addresses all work-related hazards, not only those covered by

government standards. All levels of management must make health and safety a

priority. They must communicate this by going out into the worksite to talk with

workers about their concerns and to observe work procedures and equipment. In

each workplace, the lines of responsibility from top to bottom need to be clear,

and workers should know who is responsible for different health and safety

issues.

Benefits of leadership commitment to health and safety at work :

Good leadership in OSH and consequently good occupational health and safety

standards within a company help differentiate the best performing enterprises

from the rest. Companies showing excellent OSH leadership commitment can be

recognized by safer and healthier working conditions, by employees who are

confident and competent in their work, by effective OSH policies in place and

followed by all staff and by individuals and teams recognized and rewarded for

their success.

18.
Such healthy culture fully supported by the management on all levels leads to a

continuous OSH improvement. As a result, the following pays off to the

company:-

• Reduced sickness absence,

• Enhanced productivity,

• Less work accidents,

• Less occupational diseases and work related health problems,

• Higher motivation and

• Lesser turnover.

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMME

A health and safety program is a definite plan of action designed to prevent

accidents and occupational diseases. Some form of a program is required under

occupational health and safety. Effective workplace health and safety

programmes can help to save the lives of workers by reducing hazards and their

consequences. Health and safety programmes also have positive effects on both

worker morale and productivity, which are important benefits. At the same time,

effective programmes can save employers a great deal of money.

For all of the reasons given below, it is crucial that employers, workers and

unions are committed to health and safety.

19.
a) Workplace hazards are controlled - at the source whenever possible.

b) Records of any exposure are maintained for many years.

c) Both workers and employers are informed/ training about health and safety

risks in the workplace.

d) There is an active and effective health and safety committee that includes both

workers and management.

e) Worker health and safety efforts are ongoing.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Sabarirajan,Meharajan.t [2001] - ‘EmployeeeMorale’ analyzed the

investigation on specialist welfare in Textile industry. The investigation shows

that 15% of the laborers are representatives are content with their welfare

measures.39 % of the representatives is ordinary with their welfare measures.

16% of them are in significantly disappointed level. This examination hurls light

on the impact of welfare measures on QWL among the specialists of material

production lines in Salam region." While portraying the Welfare in Indian

INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

Ken.w[2007] - ‘Uncertainty-WelfareeEconomicssof/Medical6Care’ the

objective of this research project was to develop a formal safety program that

addresses these problems, then to develop a method to promote the new program.

The development of the new program was to be accomplished by analyzing the

current safety program and comparing this program to others that the consultant

had developed, and similar industries. As a result of the review of the current

program, it is recommended by the consultant that the current program not be

scrapped in favor or a new program. It would be more beneficial to modify the

current program rather than to attempt to start over with a new safety program.

24.
Abdullah, Spickett, Rumchev&Dhaliwal [2007]- ‘laborrsafety&and

9measures’ study on organizational factors on safety in Taiwan and Japan

reported that the impact of organizational factors in the two nations were diverse

because of disparate culture. For instance, they discovered that Taiwanese

leadership style was "Top-Down Directive" where top management conveyed

safety strategies and associated with safety exercises while Japanese safety

leadership was more focused on "Bottom-Up Participative" where top

management promoted representatives' investment in any safety exercises.

Ragin [2007]- ‘Employeeehealth/0&0safety’ health and safety is a widespread

component that should be contemplated particularly in little and medium

enterprises as it is turning into a noteworthy issue for employers on the planet.

Tailor (1998) continues including that health and safety of specialists in little and

medium endeavors has long being dismissed in Africa and thusly there are

growing occasions of disasters occurring in close to nothing and medium

endeavors. There is for the most part nonattendance of organization reinforce in

pretty much nothing and medium endeavors as the dominant part of them look at

opening up of advantages rather than upgrading the working conditions therefore

the results are shortcoming and safety of the delegates.

25.
Joseph et.al. [2009]- ‘Privatization7and7employee5Relations’ examined in the

article calls attention to that the structure of a welfare state lays on its government

managed savings texture. Government, employers and trade unions have

completed a considerable measure to promote the betterment of worker's

conditions.

Josephine .M Rudolph L. [2011]- ‘Safetyypracticessinssmalleenterprise’ The

purpose of this research is to understand the views of different employees in small

and medium enterprises about what can be done to improve the health and safety

in work places. From the findings, it shows that when good health and safety

practices are not put in place, accidents ,major and minor injuries can happen,

and it is what most of the employees in other companies have so far experienced.

Zanko, M. & Dawson, P. [2012].-‘ assessing0occupational0training0and0

health&safety’ In examining the research literature on word related health and

safety (OHS), this paper contends that the development in the quantity of

specialists in OHS has brought about an accentuation on approach and practice a

long way from more educational concerns effectively tended to by scholastics in

the controls of brain research and human science.

26.
A rest has happened, and this is demonstrate by the general nonattendance of

moves in administration, despite the way that OHS is continuously observed as a

key operational and key stress of business associations.

Ramanigopal. C [2012]-‘Industrial7Relations’finished up the organization has

given greatest exertion and commitment to actualize the work laws and directions

and it has prevailing with regards to executing powerful safety and health

administration thinking about the kind of safety and health issues, mishaps,

representatives and innovation in its hierarchical settings and additionally great

level of satisfaction among representatives in regards to healthy and safety has

been accomplished.

Bellary. Logasakthi and Rajagopal [2013] - ‘Employee Satisfaction’charmed

specialization. Retaining of employees in an organization needs a lot of effort like

better treatment, good pay factor and status in the society. Welfare measures for the

employees, working environment facilities are like power given to them in carrying

out their activities, so the welfare measures should be implemented effectively.

productivity and smooth running of an organization. Employees are considered as

the assets of an organization to their wellbeing importance should be given, so health

SUGGESTION

WELFARE
➢ Canteen facilities should be provided in the documentation complex for the traffic
department employees
➢ Dining hall arrangement should be provided for the employees with proper facilities.

➢ Pure drinking water facilities should be provided at the working places of the
employees.
➢ For the employees children’s education allowance should be improved, for lower
cater level employees full school fees should be given for the needy students.

HEALTH

➢ Employee’s health has been affected with pollution factors so the administration
office should be reengineered with dust free glass doors& windows.
➢ Employees have been satisfied with the rural industries hospital, even though employees
need referrals for outside treatment so, it should be given to the needy employees.

SAFETY

➢ Awareness regarding safety should be given to the workers related to the use of Personal
Protective Equipments like documentary films, seminars taken over by speaker & real
life examples like direct talk among the workers with the affected worker by the non use
of PPE’s.
➢ There should be proper supervision in the working areas; while the worker is not using
respective PPE’s for the specified work then strict action should be taken over the
worker, as simple mistake leads to a big problem.
➢ Workers should not get irritate to use PPE’s, so well equipped and newly designed
Personal Protective Equipments should be given to them so it will make a desire towards
PPE’s and they will became a regular user of PPE’s.

coal to the industries located in Western India in the States of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat
and also in Southern India in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. A
large numbers of Power Houses under Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Punjab and
Uttar Pradesh - Electricity Boards are major consumers of its coal along with cement, steel, chemical,
fertilizer, paper and brick Industries in these states. 1.Mr. Manoj Kumar is the present Chairman-cum-
Managing Director of Western Coalfields. The total production of the Western Coalfields limited
stood at 57.64.15 MT during 2019–20 against 39.73 MT during 2013–14, an increase of 3.6%.[3] The
firm has set up 20 new coal projects of 40 MT per annum capacity since 2014–15. Western Coalfields
Ltd has launched a roadmap to achieve beyond 75 million tonnes of output by FY 2023-24 as its
contribution towards the ambitious 1 billion tonnes target of parent firm Coal India.[4]
On 6 June 2020, Western Coalfields inaugurated two mines in Madhya Pradesh and 1 mine in
Maharashtra. Adasa UG to OC Mine in Nagpur and Two mines in Chhindwara Sharda mines in
Kanhan Area and Dhankhasa mines in Pench Area. Coal mining in India had primarily been a private
sector enterprise. This changed in September 1956 when the Government of India established its own
coal company National Coal Development Corporation (NCDC).[21] Collieries run by the Railways
formed the nucleus of NCDC. This was to fulfill the fast growing energy requirements in the country
to support rapid industrialization taking place through Five-Year Plans of the Government. In the
same year, Singareni Colliery Company, which was operating in Andhra Pradesh since 1920, was also
brought under the Government control when the Central Government and state Government of
Andhra Pradesh acquired 45% and 55% shares respectively2.In 1971, the Government of India
nationalized all the 214 coking-coal mines and 12 coke-ovens running in the private sector, excluding
those held by TISCO and IISCO for their captive use. On 1 January 1972, a new Government
company Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) was formed to take control of these nationalized mines
and coke-ovens. On 30 January 1973, all the remaining 711 non-coking coalmines of the country in
private sector were also nationalized. 184 of these mines were handed over to BCCL, and remaining
527 were handed over to a newly opened department Coal Mines Authority. 4 months later, on 14
June 1973, this department was converted into a separate Government company CMAL. NCDC,
earlier formed in 1957, was merged with CMAL, and 45% share-holding of Central Government in
Singareni Collieries Company Ltd was also handed over to CMAL.
By 1973, all coking coalmines were under BCCL, which was functioning as a subsidiary of Steel
Authority of India (SAIL) under Department of Steel of the Ministry of Steel and Mines; and all non-
coking coalmines were under CMAL, which was under Department of Mines of the Ministry of Steel
Compliance must become a minimum standard, not the ultimate goal. Accident prevention must be
recognized as the outcome of excellence, not the primary target. Strategy is how to win, not just how
"not to lose."
2) Assessment – Many of our clients initially have argued that assessment should precede strategy.
However, we have found that a strategy based on an assessment tends to fill gaps rather than be a true
strategy. Once a strategy is developed, an organizational assessment can identify the best
opportunities to create alignment and fit with the strategy, rather than simply identifying perceived
gaps between reality and some artificial ideal of perfection. Assessment is difficult in organizations
with trust issues. If employees are hesitant to point out issues for fear of the consequences, outside
help may be necessary to truly assess the current status. Some organizations think they can overcome
trust issues simply by using a perception survey that is filled out individually by each worker. While
such surveys do provide a degree of anonymity, they don't allow for following up on the details of the
issues that have been identified. This must be done in interviews or focus groups where the trust
levels again become critical. Also, perception surveys only are one of several areas of assessment that
are necessary to truly understand where an organization and its culture are in the progression toward
safety excellence.
8.3) Coaching – Excellence is not simply the result of great leadership; it is the result of leading great
people. People become great through coaching. For an organization to move from good to great,
coaching must become a skill that's regular use is expected and reinforced at every level of leadership.
Performance coaching should be an integral part of the organizational training curriculum and
refresher/follow-up training should be held regularly. It should be in the job description of every
leader and a top item on their performance appraisal. It should be discussed in every leadership
meeting and coaching best practices should be shared.
The continuous improvement of the performance of direct reports should be the primary goal of every
leader and should become the standard by which their own performance is judged. Specific safety
improvement targets should be selected in every work group and should be the focus of the coaching
efforts. Every day, specific safety improvements should be visible and expected. This improvement
should become the primary driver of safety, replacing the lagging indicators which should approach
zero as the improvement efforts bear fruit.
4) Engagement – Aligning workers and coaching them is a good start toward getting them engaged in
safety, but more is needed. Workers need opportunities to be involved in the work of safety in a
meaningful way.
9.Well-designed and executed behavior-based safety (BBS) processes are one example of how this
can be achieved. If workers are included in the design of the process, and learn through discovery
which behaviors can have the greatest impact on accidental injuries, they develop a sense of
ownership for this part of safety. If they can be involved in meaningful observations, then this
interaction between workers becomes an extension of the safety coaching performed by leadership.
When this happens, all interactions between workers and leaders or workers and other workers are
aligned, and the two programs are fit for purpose and they support the safety strategy. Organizations
with good safety strategies readily can select the process with the best fit and avoid the less-
thaneffective safety programs. Some or all of these four core components can and often do become a
part of initial, basic safety efforts. If they already are in place, they should be used and not replaced.
However, organizations with the most excellent safety performance tend to adopt all four of these and
strive to make them work together with synergy and harmony. It is important not to wait until you
have the perfect plan to get started. Excellence is a process that grows from sincere intent and effort
and from having all the core components in place to enable success. WHAT IS HEALTH?
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of
diseases. 10.It’s a positive and dynamic concept which means something more than the absence of
illness.
(1) Physical Health: The health of employees results in reduced productivity, high unsafe acts, and
increased absenteeism. A healthy worker, on the other hand, produces results opposite to these. In
other words, healthy employees are more productive, more safe conscious, and are more regular to
work. The worker who is healthy is always cheerful, confident looking and is an invaluable asset to
the organization.
(2) Mental Health: In recent years, mental health of employees, particularly that of executives, has
engaged the attention of employers. Three reasons may be given for this development. First, mental
breakdowns are common in modern days because of pressures and tensions. Second, mental
disturbances of various types result in reduced productivity and lower profits for the organization.
Third, mental illness takes its toll through alcoholism, high employee turnover, and poor human
relationships. A mental health service is generally rendered in the following ways:
(i) Psychiatric counseling.
(ii) Co-operation and consultation with outside psychiatrists and specialists.
(iii) Education of company personnel in the manner and the importance of mental health.
11.(iv) Development& maintenance of an effective human relations program.
TYPES OF ACCIDENTS
Accidents are of different types which may be classified as major and minor ones, depending upon the
severity of the injury. An accident which ends in a death, or which results in a prolonged disability to
the injured is a major one. A scratch or a cut which does not seriously disable him/her is a minor
accident, but an accident nevertheless.
A mere incision or a deep scratch, say, on the leg or the shoulder, may or may not immediately
disable the worker, but he or she may develop disability later. Again, a wound which may disable one
worker may not disable another who receives a similar injury.
An accident may be internal or external. If a worker falls, or an object falls on him or her, it is
possible he or she may show no external signs of injury, but he or she may have fractured a bone or
strained a muscle or nerve- which is an internal injury.
A worker may be disabled by an injury for hour, half a day, a day, a week, a month, or a few months.
If he or she recovers from such a disability, his or her disability is temporary. If the injury is such that
he or she will never recover fully, his or her disability is permanent.
12.NEED FOR SAFETY (1) Cost Saving: Two types of costs are incurred by the management when
an accident occurs. There are the direct costs, in the form of compensation payable to the dependents
of the victim if the accident is fatal, and medical expenses incurred in treating the patient if the
accident is non-fatal. The management, however, is not liable to meet the direct costs if the victim is
insured under the ESI scheme. When the victim is uninsured, compensation and medical expenses are
the responsibility of the management. More serious than the direct costs are the indirect or hidden
costs which the management cannot avoid. In fact, the indirect costs are three to four times higher
than the direct costs. Hidden costs include loss on account of down-time of operators, slowed-up
production rate of other workers, materials spoiled and labour for cleaning and damages to equipment.
(2) Increased Productivity: Safety plants are efficient plants. To a large extent, safety promotes
productivity. Employees in safe plants can devote more time to improving the quality and quantity of
their output and spend less time worrying about their safety and well-being.
(3) Moral: Safety is important on human grounds too. Managers must undertake accident prevention
measures to minimize the pain and suffering the injured worker and his/her family is often exposed to
as a result of the accident. 13An employee is a worker in the factory/industry and the bread-winner for
his/her family. The happiness of his/her family depends upon the health and well-being of the worker.
(4) Legal: There are legal reasons too for undertaking safety measures. There are laws covering
occupational health & safety, and penalties for non-compliance have become quite severe. The
responsibility extends to the safety and health of the surrounding community, too. The supreme court
held: An enterprise which is engaged in a hazardous or inherently dangerous industry which poses a
potential threat to the health and safety of the persons working in the factory and industry in the
surrounding areas, owes an absolute and non-delegable duty to the community to ensure that no harm
results to anyone on account of the hazardous or inherently dangerous nature. This implies unlimited
liability. The civil law establishes the extent of damages or compensation. In the criminal law,
sentences are prescribed under the pollution control laws. There is no legal ceiling on the extent of
liability.
HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK:
According to Cole (2002), employer has a common law duty to provide a safe place of work for his or
her employees and is liable at common law for accidents encounter by his or her employees in the
course of their employment. 14.The duties (regarding health and safety) which employer owes his or
her employees basically include the following: the provision of a safe place of employment. The
provision of safe means of access to work. The provision of safe systems of working.
Such healthy culture fully supported by the management on all levels leads to a continuous OSH
improvement. As a result, the following pays off to the company:-
• Reduced sickness absence,
• Enhanced productivity,
• Less work accidents,
• Less occupational diseases and work related health problems,
• Higher motivation and
• Lesser turnover.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMME
A health and safety program is a definite plan of action designed to prevent accidents and
occupational diseases. Some form of a program is required under occupational health and safety.
Effective workplace health and safety programmes can help to save the lives of workers by reducing
hazards and their consequences. Health and safety programmes also have positive effects on both
worker morale and productivity, which are important benefits. At the same time, effective
programmes can save employers a great deal of money.
For all of the reasons given below, it is crucial that employers, workers and unions are committed to
health and safety.
19.
a) Workplace hazards are controlled - at the source whenever possible.
b) Records of any exposure are maintained for many years.
c) Both workers and employers are informed/ training about health and safety risks in the workplace.
d) There is an active and effective health and safety committee that includes both workers and
management.
e) Worker health and safety efforts are ongoing

23.REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Sabarirajan,Meharajan.t [2001] - ‘EmployeeeMorale’ analyzed the investigation on specialist welfare
in Textile industry. The investigation shows that 15% of the laborers are representatives are content
with their welfare measures.39 % of the representatives is ordinary with their welfare measures. 16%
of them are in significantly disappointed level. This examination hurls light on the impact of welfare
measures on QWL among the specialists of material production lines in Salam region." While
portraying the Welfare in Indian INDUSTRIAL SECTOR Ken.w[2007] - ‘Uncertainty-
WelfareeEconomicssof/Medical6Care’ the objective of this researchproject was to develop a formal
safety program that addresses these problems, then to develop a method to promote the new program.
The development of the new program was to be accomplished by analyzing the current safety
program and comparing this program to others that the consultant had developed, and similar
industries. As a result of the review of the current program, it is recommended by the consultant that
the current program not be scrapped in favor or a new program. It would be more beneficial to modify
the current program rather than to attempt to start over with a new safety program. 24.
Abdullah, Spickett, Rumchev&Dhaliwal [2007]- ‘laborrsafety&and 9measures’ study on
organizational factors on safety in Taiwan and Japan reported that the impact of organizational factors
in the two nations were diverse because of disparate culture. For instance, they discovered that
Taiwanese leadership style was "Top-Down Directive" where top management conveyed safety
strategies and associated with safety exercises while Japanese safety leadership was more focused on
"Bottom-Up Participative" where top management promoted representatives' investment in any safety
exercises.
Ragin [2007]- ‘Employeeehealth/0&0safety’ health and safety is a widespread component that should
be contemplated particularly in little and medium enterprises as it is turning into a noteworthy issue
for employers on the planet. Tailor (1998) continues including that health and safety of specialists in
little and medium endeavors has long being dismissed in Africa and thusly there are growing
occasions of disasters occurring in close to nothing and medium endeavors. There is for the most part
nonattendance of organization reinforce in pretty much nothing and medium endeavors as the
dominant part of them look at opening up of advantages rather than upgrading the working conditions
therefore the results are shortcoming and safety of the delegates. 25.
Joseph et.al. [2009]- ‘Privatization7and7employee5Relations’ examined in the article calls attention
to that the structure of a welfare state lays on its government managed savings texture. Government,
employers and trade unions have completed a considerable measure to promote the betterment of
worker's conditions. Josephine .M Rudolph L. [2011]- ‘Safetyypracticessinssmalleenterprise’ The
purpose of this research is to understand the views of different employees in small and medium
enterprises about what can be done to improve the health and safety in work places. From the
findings, it shows that when good health and safety practices are not put in place, accidents ,major and
minor injuries can happen, and it is what most of the employees in other companies have so far
experienced.
OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS & VARIABLES OF THE STUDY:People with required skills to make
an organization are generally referred to as human resources. The term human resources can also be
explained in the sense that it is a resource like any natural resource. 27.RESEARCH DESIGN:
