INTRODUCTION:
Human resources are the set of individuals who make up
the workforce of an organization, business sector or an economy. "Human
capital" is sometimes used synonymously with human resources, although
human capital typically refers to a more narrow view; i.e., the knowledge
the individuals embody and can contribute to an organization. Likewise,
other terms sometimes used include "manpower", "talent", "labor" or
simply "people".
William R. Tracey, in The Human Resource Glossary defines
Human Resources as: "The people that staff and operate an organization";
as contrasted with the financial and material resources of an organization.
Human Resources is also the organizational function that deals with the
people and issues related to people such as compensation,
hiring,performance management, and training. A Human Resource is a
single person or employee within your organization.
THE BRITISH INSTITUTE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT-
Working environment means creating a conduce“It is the part of the
management function which is concerned with people at work and with
relationship within an enterprise. Its aim is to bring together and develop
into an effective organization the men and women who make up an
enterprise and having regard to the well being of an individual and of
working groups, to enable to make their best contribution to its success”

WORKERS SAFETY AND WELFARE:
In the early days industrialization started the hazards and
accident also started increasing. The newer technology process and
machine which were invented brought in its wake many hazards. Hither to
unknown and many precious lives was cost. The man himself who was
responsible for the industrialization becomes a victim of his own creation.
At that point of time it was thought that accidents are acts of guard and in
evitable.
In the year 1911, when the legislation for workmen
compensation Act was passed and the employees were asked to pay for
the job injuries then it was thought that it would be better and economical
if accidents itself could be prevented instead of spending on
compensation. This thinking leads to appreciate the importance of
accident and leads to satisfy movement. It was only a short step from this
to the realization that the majority of accident could be prevented and the
some ingenuity which invented the new technology and machines could be
effectively utilized in accident prevention.
Industrial workers have been exposed to additional accident
and poor health because and environmental pollution. Occupational
diseases and accidents created by rapid industrialization. These aspects of
3
industrial life have started getting additional attention from all concerned
employers, employees and their unions and government.
Due to rapid industrialization, mechanical, electrical chemical
and radiation hazards have increased at the workplace and industrial are
exposed. Industrial accident have drawn attention from such disciplines as
sociology, psychology & engineering, sociologist and psychologist have
been attempt to solve the problems of accident in terms pf proper
selection, training and education of workers and their socio-psychological
factor that make them prone to accidents. Engineer has made proper
designing of mechanical safety devices. Safety and accident prevention is
multi-dimensional issue and therefore require comprehensive approach.
An accident is an unplanned and uncontrolled event which
causes injury to a person. It implies that the events are unplanned and
uncontrollable by the person immediately before the occurrence of the
events.Under the factories Act 1948, “an accident is the occurrence in an
industrial establishment causing bodily injury to a person who makes him
unfits to resume his duties in the next 48 hours”.
Thus from an initial humanization approach the accident
prevention and safety movement has grown into a viable preposition
which could be economically and commercially justified. No industry and
that too in developing country like are could afford such losses. Hence, no
4
effect should be spared to prevent losses due to accident. The National
Safety Council of America considers as accident to mean “any unexpected
event that interrupts or interfaces with the orderly progress of the
production activity or process”
Accidents may cause damage to equipment or materials or
may delay production without resulting in an injury or fatality. However
many later investigation on safety and accidents points out that accidents
do cost minor sand major injuries to workers and sometime even death.
NATURE OF ACCIDENT:
The nature of accidents in an industrial setting causing injury
may show wide variation. It may be just a scratch on any part of the form a
resultant death.
A minor accident is one which causes injuries of a minor,
nature like a scratch or scratches. A minor accident is one which may be
either fatal or causes disability. Disability may take the form of a loss of
ability to work or move. Such disability may be either temporary or
permanent. Both these type of disabilities may be either or partial. A
temporary partial disability reduces the earning capacity of a person in the
employment in which he was engaged of the time of accident. A
5
permanent partial disability reduces his ability earn income from any
employment which he was capable of occurred.
In a partial disability the person concerned his entitled to
compensation to the extent to which his ability to earn is reduced. a total
disability either of temporary or permanent nature, in capacitates the
person and make it impossible for him to engage in any work he was
capable of performing at the time of accident which resulted in that
disability. In case of total disability the person is entitled for full
compensation.
ELEMENTS OF WORK ENVIRONMENT
Heat and Cold
6
In India, the most common physical hazard is heat. The direct
effects of heat exposure are burns, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and heat
cramps; the indirect effects are decreased efficiency, increased fatigue
and enhanced accident rates. Many industries have local “hot spots” –
ovens and furnaces, which radiate heat. Radiant heat is the main problem
in foundry, glass and steel industries, while heat stagnation is the principal
problem in jute and cotton textile. High temperatures are also found in
mines. Physical work under such conditions is very stressful and impairs
the health and efficiency of the workers. For gainful work involving
sustained and repeated effort, a reasonable temperature must be
maintained in each work room.
Important hazards associated with cold work are chilblains,
erythrocyanosis, immersion foot, and frostbite as a result of cutaneous
vasoconstriction. General hypothermia is not unusual.
Light
7
The workers may be exposed to the risk of poor illumination or
excessive brightness. The acute effects of poor illumination are eye strain,
headache, eye pain, lachrymation, congestion around the cornea and eye
fatigue. The chronic effects on health include “miners’snystagmus”.
Exposure to excessive brightness or “glare” is associated with discomfort,
annoyance and visual fatigue. Intense direct glare may also result in
blurring of vision and lead to accidents. There should be sufficient and
suitable lighting, natural or artificial, wherever persons are working.
Noise
Noise is a health hazard in many industries. The effects of noise are
of two types:
(i) Auditory effects - which consist of temporary or permanent hearing
loss
8
(ii) Non-auditory effects – which consist of nervousness, fatigue,
interference with communication by speech, decreased
efficiency and annoyance.
The degree of injury from exposure to noise depends upon a number of
factors such as intensity and frequency range, duration of exposure
and individual susceptibility.
Vibration
Vibration, especially in the frequency range 10 to 500 Hz. May be
encountered in work with pneumatic tools such as drills and hammers.
Vibration usually affects the hands and arms. After some months or years
of exposure, the fine blood vessels of the fingers may become increasingly
sensitive to spasm (white fingers). Exposure to vibration may also produce
injuries of the joints, of the hands, elbows and shoulders.
9
Ultraviolet Radiation
Occupational exposure to ultraviolet radiation occurs mainly in arc
welding. Such radiation occurs mainly affects the eyes, causing intense
conjunctivitis and keratitis (welder’s flash). Symptoms are redness of the
eyes and pain, these usually disappear in a few days with no permanent
effect on the vision or on the deeper structures of the eye.
Ionizing Radiation
Ionizing radiation is finding increasing application in medicine and
industry, e.g. x-rays and radioactive isotopes. Important radio-isotopes are
cobalt60 and phosphorus32. Certain tissues such as bone marrow are
more sensitive than others and from a genetic standpoint, there are
special hazards when the gonads are exposed. The radiation hazards
comprise genetic changes, malformation, cancer, leukemia, depilation,
ulceration, sterility and in extreme cases death. The International
Commission of Radiological Protection has set the maximum permissible
level of occupational exposure at5 rem per year to the whole body.
OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS
Chemical hazards
There is hardly any industry which does not make use of chemicals. The
chemical hazards are on the increase with the introduction of newer and
10
complex chemicals. Chemical agents act in three ways: local action,
inhalation and ingestion. The ill-effects produced depend upon the
duration of exposure, the quantum of exposure and individual
susceptibility.
Local Action
Inhalation
Ingestion
Biological hazards
Workers may be exposed to infective and parasitic agents at the
place of work. The occupational diseases in this category are brucellosis,
leptospirosis, anthrax, hydatidosis, psittacosis, tetanus, encephalitis,
fungal infections, schistosomiasis and a host of others. Persons working
among animal products (e.g. hair, wool, hides) and agricultural workers are
specially exposed to biological hazard
Mechanical hazards
The mechanical hazards in industry centre round machinery,
protruding and moving parts and the like. About 10% of accidents in
industry are said to be due to mechanical causes.
Psychological hazards
The psychosocial hazards arise from the workers’ failure to adapt to
an alien psychosocial environment. Frustration, lack of job satisfaction,
11
insecurity, poor human relationships, and emotional tension is some of the
psychosocial factors which may undermine both physical and mental
health of the workers. The capacity to adapt to different working
environments is influenced by many factors such as education, cultural
background, family life, social habits and what the worker expects from
employment.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
The purpose of personal protective equipment is to reduce employee
exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not
feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. PPE is
needed when there are hazards present. PPE has the serious limitation
that it does not eliminate the hazard at source and may result in
employees being exposed to the hazard if the equipment fails
Goggles:
12
These are tight-fitting eye protection that completely cover the eyes,
eye sockets and the facial area immediately surrounding the eyes and
provide protection from impact, dust and splashes. Some goggles will fit
over corrective lenses.
Helmets:
Helmets are needed to protect head from injuries. Helmets are womb by
people working in mines. It is also used by people at sites where work is
going over head. This is to prevent head from flying or falling objects.
Helmets should be of light weight
Safety shoes:
Safety shoes have impact-resistant toes and heat-resistant
soles that protect the feet against hot work surfaces common in roofing,
paving and hot metal industries. The metal insoles of some safety shoes
13
protect against puncture wounds. Safety shoes may also be designed to
be electrically conductive to prevent the buildup of static electricity in
areas with the potential for explosive atmospheres or nonconductive to
protect workers from workplace electrical hazards
Earmuffs:
Earmuffs require a perfect seal around the ear. Glasses,
facial hair, long hair or facial movements such as chewing may
reduce the protective value of earmuffs.
Face shields:
These transparent sheets of plastic extend from the eyebrows
to below the chin and across the entire width of the employee's head.
Some are polarized for glare protection. Face shields protect against
nuisance dusts and potential splashes or sprays of hazardous liquids
14
but will not provide adequate protection against impact hazards. Face
shields used in combination with goggles or safety spectacles will
provide additional protection against impact hazards.
Gloves:
Gloves are used for various purposes. The types of gloves
needed depend upon the nature of work. Gloves are used to protect
hand from cut, heat burn, chemical burn, electrical shocks etc; the
gloves should allow free movement of fingers and hand. It is dangerous
to wear gloves while working in a drilling machine, power press etc. the
gloves are made of cloths, rubbers, leather, asbestos etc,
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
The project made an attempt to study the following:
To study the workers awareness about the safety measures.
To study the occupational health and safety of the employee in the
working environment.
15
To recognize the occupational hazards and types of work generally
associated with those hazards
To know the working atmosphere
To enhance the employees satisfaction level

based in the first hand data collected from the sugar factories of eastern
utter Pradesh. The study made through structured Questionnaire
conducted that the condition of work sugar factories of eastern region of
utter Pradesh were not satisfactory particularly in respect of safety
measure, cleanliness, sanitation, drinking water, shatter etc.,
ELY WOOD (1999):
Work environment includes some factors, which either contributes
positively or negatively to achieving maximum employee productivity. We
cannot measure the effectiveness of a job design without the knowledge of
the working environment in which the design is place it is part of total
picture. The factors which either contributes positively or negatively to
employee productivity are: temperature, humidity and airflow, noise,
22
lighting, employee personal aspects, contaminants and hazards in work
environment
BERNNER (2004):
Work environment designed to suit employee’s
satisfaction and free flow of exchange of ideas is a better medium of
motivating employees towards higher productivity; work environment
when appropriately designed motivates employees toward higher
productivity.
KOHUN (1992):
Work environment “as an entirely “which comprise the
totality of forces, action and other influential factors that are
currently and, or potentially contending with the employees
activities and performance. Work environment in which the
