PREFACE
The ability to manage is one of the most crucial skills in the world today. It is vital for
the continued growth of the advance countries and is an essential element in meeting
the aspiration of developing Nations.
Of course some people take different views of managing treating it as a bit human
behavior along with manager as means of a training personal income and status. Both
views are valid the study of management can be both interesting and rewarding. But
really compelling force that underlying the serious study of management is its profiled
social value.
Fortunately our understanding of the process of managing has improved significantly
in recent years. The process of modern day management revolves basically around
resource conversion. The management has various resources at its disposal via capital,
materials, human nature and environment. These resources are converting in to output
in the broad social welfare in the community. The financial analysis is distinct among
all the finance, as the position and condition of the company comes out.

The Indian Match Industry is poised for interesting and demanding times. The
translation of the Industry from a public monopoly to a competitive environment
now presents very interesting opportunities, both to the newer players and to
customers.

INTRODUCTION

Although technological innovations are reaching at heights, new and new concept are emerging
everyday; even then matchboxes can be found in any of the house in present times
also.

The common matchbox that is a part of each and almost every household in the modern day
world was invented by a chemist, JOHNY WALKER of Stockton-ontees, England
accidently. While conducting an experiment he has been using a stick to stir a
mixture of potash (potassium carbonate) and Antimony. When he scrapped it against
the stone floor to get rid of the blob, which had formed on the stick, it rapidly burst
into flames.

Today India is one of the leading match manufactures in the world. There are very sort of
match manufacturing factories in India in which WIMCO is one of the biggest
having Five centers all over the country.

A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF WIMCO

In the year 1918, the Swedish Company set up its office in India with the objective of
manufacturing and selling matches in India. WIMCO Ltd. Is the oldest IndoSwedish venture in the country. It was launched as a private Ltd. Company on 7 th
September 1923 under the name of the WESTERN INDIA MATCH COMPANY
LTD. Within a period of 7 years, five match manufacturing factories set up by
WIMCO all over India. They were situated at Calcutta, Chennai, Ambernath, Dhubri
and Bareilly. And today-

WIMCO Ltd. Become a public co. Ltd. On 9 th July 1929. The companys name was changed to
its present name and a fresh certificate of incorporation, due to change of name was
issued by the Additional Registrar of companies, Maharastra Bombay, on 3 rd
December 1975.
With the passes of time , the company has engaged itself in the production and sale of the
matches, chlorates, perchlorates, bromine, gule and salt.

Sewdish Match Co. who has started the match making in India & even this Bareilly unit has
again collaborated in 1991 with the WIMCO Ltd. With 52% Swedish share capital. At present,
WIMCO is having 76% Swedish share capital.

Swedish Match Co. has, now introduced their own core value and principles of well being of
WIMCO Ltd.

WIMCO Ltd. The Northern Region

(Bareilly Branch)

The Nortern region of WIMCO Ltd. Covers whole area of nortern India consisting of UP,
Punjab, Delhi, Chhandigarh, Haryana HP, J&K and a part of Rajasthan as well as MP.
The Bareilly branch of WIMCO Ltd. In U.P. is located at Clutterbuck Ganj, on BareillyRampur road about 6-7 km. Away from Bareilly City. This factory started production of
matches in April 1930 with an initial production output of 130 cases per day (1cases=7200
matchbox). Production at that time included full size, three quarter size boxes filled with 60
sticks (80 sticks in big boxes) and under different labels. Semul was the only of wood used in
the production of matches. Employees learnt there their experience and a few were sent to
WIMCO Calcutta factory to learn some technical jobs.
After 1947, more machinery was added, more men employed & production increased by 460
cases per day.
In 1930, the factory employed approximately 450 people and at present the Bareilly branch has
approximately 1200 employees. Presently, daily production is 550 cases, in three shifts.
Although production process remains unchanged, the newer machines of better quality &
capable of producing at a faster rate were installed newer machines of better quality & capable
of producing at a faster rate were installed.
Now the factory is utilizing poplar wood for production of matches. Also, Bareilly branch has
adequate skilled experienced employees with required technical knowledge.

Safety control techniques in wimco

Hazard identification and their remeadies:

A large percentage of workplace accidents and injuries occur in office buildings. Like the shop
or laboratory, the office requires a few preventive measures to ensure a safe and healthful
environment.

Common causes of office accidents include the following:

a Slipping, tripping, and falling hazards
a. Burning, cutting, and pinching hazards
b. Improper lifting and handling techniques
c. Unobservant and inattentive employees
d. Improper office layout and arrangement
e. Dangerous electrical wiring
f. Exposure to toxic substances
g. Good Housekeeping Practices
h. Many office accidents are caused by poor housekeeping practices. By keeping the
office
i. floor both neat and clean, you can eliminate most slipping, tripping, and falling
hazards.
j. Other good housekeeping practices include the following:
k. Ensure that office lighting is adequate and available. Request the Physical Plant to
replace
l. burned out light bulbs, and have additional lighting installed, as necessary.
m. Ensure that electrical cords and phone cords do not cross walkways or otherwise pose a
n. tripping hazard. If you cannot move a cord, have a new outlet installed or secure the
cord
o. to the floor with cord covering strips. Do not tape cords down or run them underneath
p. carpet.
q. Report or repair tripping hazards such as defective tiles, boards, or carpet immediately.
r. Clean spills and pick up fallen debris immediately. Even a loose pencil could cause a
s. serious falling injury.

t. Keep office equipment, facilities, and machines in good condition.

u. Store items in an approved storage space. Take care to not stack boxes too high or too
v. tight. Ensure that boxes are clearly labeled with their contents.

Hazardous Objects and Materials

Unauthorized hazardous objects such as knives and firearms are not permitted in the
workplace. In addition, hazardous chemicals and materials should not be stored in the general
office. Hazardous materials include, but are not limited to, the following:
Carcinogens

Combustibles

Flammables

Gas cylinders

Irritants

Oxidizers

Reactives
See UTA Laboratory Safety Manual for detailed definitions of the above materials.

Preventing Cuts and Punctures

Cuts and punctures happen when people use everyday office supplies without exercising care.
Follow these guidelines to help reduce the chance for cuts and punctures:
When sealing envelopes, use a liquid dispenser, not your tongue. Be careful when using
kitchen knives, scissors, staplers, letter openers, and box openers. Any of these items could
cause a painful injury and should only be used for their intended purpose.
Avoid picking up broken glass with your bare hands. Wear gloves and use a broom and a dust
pan. Contact Custodial Service (2602) for assistance. Place used blades or broken glass in a
rigid container, such as a box, before disposing in a wastebasket.

Preventing Machine Accidents

Only use machines that you know how to operate. Never attempt to operate an unfamiliar
machine without reading the machine instructions or receiving directions from a qualified
employee. In addition, follow these guidelines to ensure machine safety:
Secure machines that tend to move during operation. Do not place machines near the edge of a
table or desk. Ensure that machines with moving parts are guarded to prevent accidents. Do not

remove these guards. Defective guards should be replaced. Unplug defective machines and
have them repaired immediately. Do not use any machine that smokes, sparks, shocks, or
appears defective in any way.
Close hand-operated paper cutters after each use and activate the guard. Take care when
working with copy machines. If you have to open the machine for maintenance, repair, or
troubleshooting, remember that some parts may be hot. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions for troubleshooting.
Unplug paper shredders before conducting maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting. Some items
can be very dangerous when worn around machinery with moving parts. Avoid wearing the
following items around machines within unguarded moving parts:
Loose belts

Jewelry

Long, loose hair

Long, loose sleeves or pants

Scarves

Preventing Slips and Falls

As outlined in the General Safety chapter of this manual, the easiest way to avoid slips and
falls is to pay attention to your surroundings and to avoid running or rushing. To ensure safety
for others in the office, however, follow these guidelines:
Arrange office furnishings in a manner that provides unobstructed areas for movement. Keep
stairs, steps, flooring, and carpeting well maintained. Ensure that glass doors have some type of
marking to keep people from walking through them.
Clearly mark any difference in floor level that could cause an accident. Secure throw rugs and
mats to prevent slipping hazards. Clean up fluid spills. Do not place wastebaskets or other
objects in walkways. Be aware of added risk of falling when entering a building if outside
weather is rain or snow.

Preventing Stress
To reduce stress and prevent fatigue, it is important to take mini-breaks (not many breaks)
throughout the day. If possible, change tasks at least once every two hours. Stretch your arms,
neck, and legs often if you do the same type of work for long periods of time. Rest your eyes

often by closing them or looking at something other than the work at hand. For a quick pickme-up, breathe deeply several times by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your
mouth. In addition, always try to eat your lunch somewhere other than your desk.
Other examples of stress-relieving exercises that can be done at your desk include the
following:
Head and Neck Stretch:
Slowly turn your head to the left, and hold it for three seconds. Slowly turn your head to the
right, and hold it for three seconds. Drop your chin gently towards your chest, and then tilt it
back as far as you can. Repeat these steps five to ten times.
Shoulder Roll:
Roll your shoulders forward and then backward using a circular motion.
Upper Back Stretch:
Grasp one arm below the elbow and pull gently towards the other shoulder. Hold this position
for five seconds and then repeat with the other arm.
Wrist Wave:
With your arms extended in front of you, raise and lower your hands several times.
Finger Stretch:
Make fists with your hands and hold tight for one second, then spread your fingers wide for
five seconds.

Equipment Safety
As mentioned earlier, common office machines, such as the following, require special safety
consideration: copiers, microwaves, adding machines, papers shredders, paper cutters,
typewriters, and computers. Be sure you know how to operate these machines before using
them, and never use one of these machines if you think it is defective.
Other office equipment that requires safety consideration includes furniture such as file
cabinets and shelves, desks, and chairs.

File Cabinets and Shelves

Because file cabinets and shelves tend to support heavy loads, treat them with special care.
Follow these safety guidelines for file cabinets:
Secure file cabinets that are not weighted at the bottom. Either bolt them to the floor or to the
wall. Ensure that file cabinet drawers cannot easily be pulled clear of the cabinet. Do not block
ventilation grates with file cabinets. Open only one drawer at a time to keep the cabinet from
toppling. Close drawers when they are not in use. Do not place heavy objects on top of
cabinets. Be aware that anything on top of a cabinet may fall off if a drawer is opened
suddenly. Close drawers slowly using the handle to avoid pinched fingers. Keep the bottom
drawer full. This will help stabilize the entire cabinet. In addition,

follow these safety

guidelines for office shelves:

Secure shelves by bolting them to the floor or wall. Place heavy objects on the bottom shelves.
This will keep the entire structure more stable. Ensure that there is at least 18 inches between
the top shelf items and the ceiling. This space will allow ceiling sprinklers (if present) to
function properly if a fire occurs. Do not block ventilation grates with shelves. Never climb on
shelves (even lower shelves). Use an approved ladder.

Desks
Follow these safety guidelines for office desks: Keep desks in good condition (i.e., free from
sharp edges, nails, etc.). Ensure that desks do not block exits or passageways. Ensure that
glass-top desks do not have sharp edges. Ensure that desks with spring-loaded tables function
properly. The table should not spring forth with enough force to cause an injury. Do not climb
on desks. Use an approved ladder. Keep desk drawers closed when not in use. Repair or report
any desk damage that could be hazardous.

Chairs
Safety guidelines for office chairs include the following: Do not lean back in office chairs,
particularly swivel chairs with rollers. Do not climb on any office chair. Use an approved
ladder. Office desk chairs should have adjustable back supports and seat height. Make sure that
your chair's back support position and seat height are comfortable. Take care when sitting in a
chair with rollers. Make sure it does not roll out from under you when you sit down. Repair or
report any chair damage that could be hazardous. Do not roll chairs over electrical cords.

Ladders
Always use an approved ladder or stool to reach any item above your extended arm height.
Never use a makeshift device, such as a desktop, file cabinet, bookshelf, or box, as a substitute
for a ladder.
Follow these guidelines when using ladders: Do not load a ladder above its intended weight
capacity. Place ladders on slip-free surfaces even if they have slip-resistant feet. Secure the
ladder if a slip-free surface is not available. Avoid placing ladders in walkways. Secure a ladder
if its location could cause an accident. Keep areas around ladders clean and free of debris. Do
not use a ladder in front of a door unless the door is locked and barricaded. Refer to the Shop
Safety chapter in this manual for more information on ladder safety.

Work Station Arrangement

With the extensive use of computers and other automated desk devices in the workplace,
employees must take special care to ensure proper work station arrangement. For the purpose
of this manual, a work station consists of the equipment and furniture associated with a typical
desk job (i.e., desk, chair, and computer components).
In recent years, computer screens or Video Display Terminals (VDTs) have received much
attention concerning nonionizing radiation levels. Tests prove, however, that VDTs do not
emitharmful levels of radiation. Improper work station arrangement combined with repetitive
motion, however, may contribute to visual and musculoskeletal fatigue.
Cumulative trauma disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome may result from the stress of
repetitive motion. Therefore, it is very important to arrange your work station properly and to
take breaks frequently. The following sections offer recommendations for ensuring employee
comfort through proper work station arrangement.

Operator's Position
Your seating position at work is important to your comfort and safety. To reduce the painful
effects of repetitive motion, follow these guidelines when working with computers or

RISK MANAGEMENT IN WIMCO

Five steps to risk assessment

A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as
complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace
the ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward measures can
readily control risks, for example ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not
slip, or cupboard drawers are kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means
simple, cheap and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset your workforce is
protected. The law does not expect you to eliminate all risk, but you are required to protect
people as far as reasonably practicable. This guide tells you how to achieve that with a
minimum of fuss. This is not the only way to do a risk assessment, there are other methods that

work well, particularly for more complex risks and circumstances. However, we believe this
method is the most straightforward for most organisations.
What is risk assessment?
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to
people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do
more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a
failure to take reasonable control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect
your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have
to go to court. You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in
place a plan to control the risks.
How to assess the risks in your workplace
Follow the five steps in this leaflet: Step 1 Identify the hazards Step 2 Decide who might be
harmed and how Step 3 Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions Step 4 Record your
findings and implement them Step 5 Review your assessment and update if necessary Dont
overcomplicate the process. In many organisations, the risks are well known and the necessary
control measures are easy to apply. You probably already know whether, for example, you
have employees who move heavy loads and so could harm their backs, or where people are
most likely to slip or trip. If so, check that you have taken reasonable precautions to avoid
injury. If you run a small organisation and you are confident you understand whats involved,
you can do the assessment yourself. You dont have to be a health and safety expert. If you
work in a larger organisation, you could ask a health and safety advisor to help you. If you are
not confident, get help from someone who is competent. In all cases, you should make sure
that you involve your staff or their representatives in the process. They will have useful
information about how the work is done that will make your assessment of the risk more
thorough and effective. But remember, you are responsible for seeing that the assessment is
carried out properly. When thinking about your risk assessment, remember:
hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from
ladders, an open drawer etc; the
risk is the chance, high or low, that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards,
together with an indication of how serious the harm could be assessment

Step 1 Identify the hazards

First you need to work out how people could be harmed. When you work in a place every day
it is easy to overlook some hazards, so here are some tips to help you identify the ones that
matter:
Walk around your workplace and look at what could reasonably be expected to cause harm.
Ask your employees or their representatives what they think. They may have noticed things
that are not immediately obvious to you. HSE publishes practical guidance on where hazards
occur and how to control them. There is much information here on the hazards that might
affect your business. If you are a member of a trade association, contact them. Many produce
very helpful guidance. Check manufacturers instructions or data sheets for chemicals and
equipment as they can be very helpful in spelling out the hazards and putting them in their true
perspective. Have a look back at your accident and ill-health records these often help to
identify the less obvious hazards. Remember to think about long-term hazards to health eg
high levels of noise or exposure to harmful substances) as well as safety hazards.

Step 2 Decide who might be harmed and how

For each hazard you need to be clear about who might be harmed; it will help you identify the
best way of managing the risk. That doesnt mean listing everyone by name, but rather
identifying groups of people (eg people working in the storeroom or passers-by). In each
case, identify how they might be harmed, ie what type of injury or ill health might occur. For
example, shelf stackers may suffer back injury from repeated lifting of boxes. Remember:
some workers have particular requirements, eg new and young workers, new or expectant
mothers and people with disabilities may be at particular risk. Extra thought will be needed for
some hazards; cleaners, visitors, contractors, maintenance workers etc, who may not be in the
workplace all the time; members of the public, if they could be hurt by your activities; if you
share your workplace, you will need to think about how your work affects others present, as
well as how their work affects your staff talk to them; and ask your staff if they can think of
anyone you may have missed.

Step3 Health and Safety precautions

Having spotted the hazards, you then have to decide what to do about them. The law requires
you to do everything reasonably practicable to protect people from harm. You can work this
out for yourself, but the easiest way is to compare what you are doing with good practice. So
first, look at what youre already doing, think about what controls you have in place and how
the work is organised. Then compare this with the good practice and see if theres more you
should be doing to bring yourself up to standard. In asking yourself this, consider: Can I get
rid of the hazard altogether? If not, how can I control the risks so that harm is unlikely? When
controlling risks, apply the principles below, if possible in the following order: try a less risky
option (eg switch to using a less hazardous chemical); prevent access to the hazard (eg by
guarding); organise work to reduce exposure to the hazard (eg put barriers between
pedestrians and traffic); issue personal protective equipment (eg clothing, footwear, goggles
etc); and provide welfare facilities (eg first aid and washing facilities for removal of
contamination). Improving health and safety need not cost a lot. For instance, placing a mirror
on a dangerous blind corner to help prevent vehicle accidents is a low-cost precaution
considering the risks. Failure to take simple precautions can cost you a lot more if an accident
does happen. Involve staff, so that you can be sure that what you propose to do will work in
practice and wont introduce any new hazards.

Step 4 Record your findings and implement them

Putting the results of your risk assessment into practice will make a difference when looking
after people and your business. Writing down the results of your risk assessment, and sharing
them with your staff, encourages you to do this. If you have fewer than five employees you do
not have to write anything down, though it is useful so that you can review it at a later date if,
for example, something changes. When writing down your results, keep it simple, for example
Tripping over rubbish: bins provided, staff instructed, weekly housekeeping checks, or
Fume from welding: local exhaust ventilation used and regularly checked.
We do not expect a risk assessment to be perfect, but it must be suitable and sufficient. You
need to be able to show that: a proper check was made; you asked who might be affected; you
dealt with all the significant hazards, taking into account the number of people who could be

involved; the precautions are reasonable, and the remaining risk is low; and you involved your
staff or their representatives in the process.
There is a template at the end of this leaflet that you can print off and use. If, like many
businesses, you find that there are quite a lot of improvements that you could make, big and
small, dont try to do everything at once. Make a plan of action to deal with the most
important things first. Health and safety inspectors acknowledge the efforts of businesses that
are clearly trying to make improvements. A good plan of action often includes a mixture of
different things such as: a few cheap or easy improvements that can be done quickly, perhaps
as temporary solution until more reliable controls are in place; long-term solutions to those
risks most likely to cause accidents or ill health; long-term solutions to those risks with the
worst potential consequences; arrangements for training employees on the main risks that
remain and how they are to be controlled; regular checks to make sure that the control
measures stay in place; and clear responsibilities who will lead on what action, and by when.
Remember, prioritise and tackle the most important things first. As you complete each action,
tick it off your plan.

Step 5 Review your risk assessment and update if necessary

workplaces stay the same. Sooner or later, you will bring in new equipment, substances and
procedures that could lead to new hazards. It makes sense, therefore, to review what you are
doing on an ongoing basis. Every year or so formally review where you are, to make sure you
are still improving, or at least not sliding back. Look at your risk assessment again. Have there
been any changes? Are there improvements you still need to make? Have your workers
spotted a problem? Have you learnt anything from accidents or near misses? Make sure your
risk assessment stays up to date. When you are running a business its all too easy to forget
about reviewing your risk assessment until something has gone wrong and its too late. Why
not set a review date for this risk assessment now? Write it down and note it in your diary as
an annual event. During the year, if there is a significant change, dont wait. Check your risk
assessment and, where necessary, amend it. If possible, it is best to think about the risk
assessment when youre planning your change that way you leave yourself more flexibility.

Safety Measures in Factories

Introduction
Increasing number of accidents involving workers has drawn our attention towards safety
measures in the factories. Accidents not only affect workers loosing their livelihood but also
employers in terms of compensation to be paid to the workers. Accidents are a significant
cause of dispute between workers and management. With the coming in of new set up of
industries e.g., steel production, engineering, fertilizers, chemicals and petro-chemicals, oil
refining etc., and increasing use of machine power, industrial complexities in terms of process
of production have increased. This has given rise to hazards and risks. Safety measures are to
be adopted against such risks and hazards. The Factories Act, 1948 has laid down certain
measures for the safety of workers employed in the factories. In this part, we shall study about
the safety measures in factories.

39.3 Need for safety measures

Safety measures result in improving the conditions under which workers are employed and
work. It improves not only their physical efficiency, but also provides protection to their life
and limb. Inadequate provision of safety measures in factories may lead to increase in the
number of accidents. Human failure due to carelessness, ignorance, inadequate skill, and
improper supervision have also contributed to accidents, and the consequent need for safety
measures. Other factors giving rise to the need for safety measures are:
rapid industrialization with its complexities in manufacturing process and layout;
expansion or modifications in existing factories;
setting up of new industries involving hazards not known earlier;
lack of safety consciousness on the part of both workers and management;
inadequate realisation of the financial implications of accidents.

39.4 Safety Measures

Safety measures which are provided in the Factories Act, 1948, are considered to be minimum
in terms of adequacy. Such measures are required to be effectively implemented. In addition to

implementing safety measures provided in the Factories Act, there is also need for providing
training in safety to workers, and installing safety equipment in the factories. Employers
should take the initiative in providing training in safety to employees. Workers unions should
take interest in safety promotion. Periodic training courses in accident prevention can be
organised. Safety should become a habit with employers and the workers alike. The Factories
Act provides for the following safety measures:

(i) Fencing of Machinery

In every factory, measures should be taken for secured fencing of machinery. Safeguards of
substantial construction must be raised and constantly maintained and kept in position while
the parts of machinery (they are fencing) are in motion or in use. Fencing is necessary in
respect of:
every moving part of a prime mover;
headrace and tailrace of every water-wheel and water turbine;
every part of an electric generator, a motor or a rotary convertor;
every part of transmission machinery; and
every dangerous part of any other machinery.

Safety Measures in Factories ::27

(ii) Work on or near Machinery in Motion

Where in any factory, it becomes necessary to examine any part of machinery, while the
machinery is in motion, such examination shall be carried out only by specially trained adult
male workers. Such workers shall wear tight fitting clothing and their names shall be recorded
in the register prescribed in this connection. The machinery in motion with which such workers
would otherwise be liable to come in contact during the course of its examination, shall be
securely fenced to prevent such contact.
No woman or young person shall be allowed to clean, lubricate or adjust any part of a prime
mover or transmission machinery, while the machinery is in motion.

(iii) Employment of Young Persons on Dangerous Machines

The Factories Act prohibits employment of young persons on certain types of machines as
specified under Sec.23 of the Act. They can work only after they have been fully instructed as
to the dangers arising in connection with the machines and the precautions to be observed.
They should have received sufficient training in work at such machines. They should be under
adequate supervision by a person who has a thorough knowledge and experience of the
machines.

(iv) Striking Gear and Devices for cutting off Power

In every factory
i)

Suitable striking gear or other efficient mechanical appliances shall be provided and

shall, if the space over which it runs, is a space cover which any person is liable to pass,
whether in the course of his employment or otherwise, be allowed to run on its outward or
inward traverse within a distance of eighteen inches from any fixed structure which is not a
part of the machine. This is to safeguard the workers from being injured by self acting
machines.

(vi) Casing of New Machinery

Every set screw, bolt or key on any revolving shaft, spindle, wheel, or pinion shall be so sunk,
encased or otherwise effectively guarded as to prevent danger in all machinery driven by

power and installed in the factory. The State government is authorised to make rules specifying
further safeguards to be provided in respect of any dangerous part of any particular machine or
class or description of machines in this connection.

person at least once in every period of six months. A register shall be kept containing
the prescribed particulars of each such examination;

iii)

Every hoistway and liftway shall be sufficiently protected by an enclosure fitted with
gates, and the hoist or lift and every such enclosure shall be so constructed as to prevent
any person or thing from being trapped between any part of the hoist or lift and any
fixed structure or moving part.

iv)

The maximum safe working load shall be plainly marked on every hoist or lift, and no
load greater than such load shall be carried thereon.

v)

The cage of every hoist or lift used for carrying persons shall be fitted with a gate on
each side from which access is afforded to a landing.

vi)

Every gate shall be fitted with interlocking or other efficient device to secure that the
gate cannot be opened except when the cage is at the landing and that the cage cannot
be moved unless the gate is closed.

Where in the hoists and lifts used for carrying persons, the cage is supported by rope or chain,
there shall be at least two ropes or chains separately connected with the cage and balance
weight, and each rope or chain with its attachments shall be capable of carrying the whole
weight of the cage together with its maximum load.
Efficient devices shall be provided and maintained capable of supporting the cage together
with its maximum load in the event of breakage of the rope, chain or attachments. An efficient
automatic device shall be provided and maintained to prevent the cage from overrunning.

(ix) Lifting Machines, Chains, Ropes and Lifting Tackles

Lifting machine means any crane, crab, winch, teagle, pulley block, gin wheel, and runway.
Lifting tackle means chain slings, rope slings, hooks, shackles and swivels. In every factory,
following safety measures shall be adopted in respect of every lifting machine (other than a
hoist and lift) and every chain, rope and lifting tackle for the purpose of raising or lowering
persons, goods or materials
a)

All parts including the working gear of every lifting machine and every chain, rope or
lifting tackle shall be of good construction, sound material and adequate strength, and
free from defect;
properly maintained ; and
thoroughly examined by a competent person at least once in every period of
twelve months.

b)

working load which shall be plainly marked on it.

c)

While any person is employed or working on or near the wheel track of a travelling
crane in any place where he would be liable to be struck by the crane, effective
measures shall be taken to ensure that the crane does not approach within twenty feet of
that place.
A lifting machine or a chain, rope or lifting tackle shall be thoroughly examined in

order to arrive at a reliable conclusion as to its safety.

(x) Revolving Machinery

Effective measures shall be taken in every factory to ensure that the safe working peripheral
speed of every revolving vessel, cage, basket, flywheel, pulley disc or similar appliance driven
by power is not exceeded. A notice indicating the maximum safe working peripheral speed of
every revolving machinery shall be put up in every room in a factory in which the process of
grinding is

(xi) Pressure Plant

If in any factory, any part of the plant or machinery used in amanufacturing process is operated
at a presure above atmospheric Safety Measures in Factories pressure, effective measures
shall be taken to ensure that the safe working pressure of such part is not exceeded.

to the eyes from particles thrown off in the course of the process or (b) risk to the eyes by
reason of exposure to excessive lights, effective screens or suitable goggles shall be provided
for the protection of persons employed on, or in the immediate nearness of, the process.

(xvi) Precautions against Dangerous Fumes and use of Portable Light

i)

No person shall enter any chamber, tank, vat, pit, pipe or other confined space in a
factory in which dangerous fumes are likely to be present to such an extent as to cause
risk of persons being overcome thereby;

ii)

No portable electric light of voltage exceeding twenty four volts shall be permitted in
any factory for use inside any confined space. Where the fumes present are likely to be
inflammable no lamp or light, other than of flameproof nature, shall be allowed to be
used.

iii)

No person in any factory shall be allowed to enter any confined space, until all
practicable measures have been taken to reverse any fumes which may be present and
to prevent any ingress of fumes.

iv)

Suitable breathing apparatus, reviving apparatus and belts and ropes shall be kept in
every factory for instant use. All such apparatus shall be periodically examined and
certified by a competent person to be fit for use.

v)

No person shall be permitted to enter in any factory, any boiler, furnace, chamber, tank,
pipe, or other confined space for the purpose of working or making any examination
until it has been sufficiently cooled by ventilation or otherwise to be safe for persons to
enter.

(xvii) Explosive or Inflammable Dust, Gas etc.

If any manufacturing process in the factory produces dust, gas, fume, or vapour of such a
nature as is likely to explode on ignition, measures shall be taken to prevent any such
explosion by:

 effective enclosure of the plant or machinery used in the process;

removal or prevention of the accumulation of such dust, gas, fume or vapour;
exclusion or effective enclosure of all possible source of ignition.
Measures shall also be adopted to restrict the spread and effects of the explosion by providing
in the plant or machinery of chokes, baffles, vents, or other effective appliances.

(xviii) Precautions in case of fire

i)

Every factory shall be provided with such means of escape in case of fire as may be
prescribed;

ii)

In every factory, the doors affording exit from any room shall not be locked so that they
can not be easily and immediately opened from the inside while any person is within
the room, and all such doors, unless they are of sliding type, shall be constructed to
open outwards.

iii)

Every door, window or other exit affording a means to escape in case of fire shall be
distinctively marked in a language understood by the majority of the workers. Such
marking should be in red letters of adequate size or by some other effective and clearly
understood sign.

iv)

An effective and clearly audible means of giving warning, in case of fire, to every
person shall be provided in the factory.

v)

A free passageway giving access to each means of escape in case of fire shall be
maintained for the use of all workers in the factory.

vi)

Effective measures shall be taken to ensure that in every factory all workers are familiar
with the means of escape in case of fire and have been adequately trained in the routine
to be followed in such a case.

(xix) Safety of Building and Machinery

In case it appears that any building, machinery or plant in a factory is in such a condition that it
is dangerous to human life or safety, the manager of the factory may be served an order
specifying measures to be adopted as prescribed. Further, in case it appears that the use of any
building, machinery or plant in a factory involves imminent danger to human life or safety, an

order may be served prohibiting the use of such building or machinery, until it has been
repaired or altered.

Safety measures and efficiency of workers

There is a close relationship between safety measures and the efficiency of workers. Efficiency
results in increasing the average output per worker. It is reflected in increased productivity.
Safety measures are concerned not only with the physical efficiency, and safety of the workers,
but also his general well being. Being related with welfare, lack of safety exposes workers to
health hazards. It also involves occupational health risks.
Indian workers are generally considered to be less efficient as compared to workers in other
countries. Such a statement does not reflect any inherent deficiency on the part of workers. It is
stated to be due to longer hours of work, low wages, and poor living conditions. Health and
safety measures provided in factories are also of poor standard.
This may be stated as the basic reason for the inefficiency of workers in India. Climatic factors,
illiteracy, low standard of living may also affect the efficiency adversely, but the poor working
conditions happen to be the main reasons. Working environment in the factory is not conducive
to increased efficiency of worker. Under unhealthy surroundings, we cannot expect workers to
put in hard and sustained work. Safety measures as listed above partly prevent workers from
being exposed to the risk of accidents, and protection against dust and fumes and inflammable
gases, etc. These are partly welfare in nature e.g., preventing employment of young persons on
dangerous machines.
Other safety measures reduce the strain from working under difficult conditions.
There is a close relationship between safety measures and efficiency of workers.
Increase in number of accidents and declining efficiency has led to adoption of safety
measures in factories.
The Factories Act, 1948 has laid down certain measures to be adopted for the safety of
workers employed in factories.

 The safety measures result in increasing the efficiency of workers. It results in increasing
the productivity. It improves not only workers physical efficiency, but provide for protection
against risks of injury and ill-health.
Safety measures in factories include provision for fencing and prohibition of work on or
over the machinery in motion; provision of striking gear and devices for cutting off power;
casing of new machinery; hoist and lifts; protection of eyes; precaution against dangerous
fumes; explosions and inflammable dust and gas, fire, and
provision of safety of buildings and machinery.

ENVIRONMENT

What is Environment?
Our Environment is our surrounding. This includes living and non-living things around us. The
non-living components of environment are land, water and air. The living components are
germs, plants, animals and people.
All plants and animals adjust to the environment in which they are born and live. A charge in
any component of the environment may cause discomfort and affect normal life. Any
unfavorable change or degeneration in the environment is known as Environmental Pollution.
We need to protect our environment to live happily.

How to Maintain a Good Environment?

For better environment, all its components should be protected from pollution and the
surroundings should be clean. We need to take good care of our land, water resources, forests
and atmosphere . it is also necessary to ensure a balance between these resources and living
creatures, to meet our needs.

Protection of Land
Land is the upper layer of our planet earth. It is made up of soil and rocks. Land stores water
and provides a surface to live on. Soil contains nutrients and air to nurse germs and plants.
Fertility of the soil has been built up over hundreds of years. Soil is likely to be washed away
with rain water or blown away by wind, if it is not protected under the cover of grasses, crops
or trees.

Conservation of Water
Water is our line. With water, plants grow well, crops yield more and the atmosphere remains
cool. Flowing water is also a source of energy and mode of transport.
Rain is the main source of water. It is absorbed by soil and stored under the ground. A Part of
this water, which is not absorbed, flows into rivers and finally reaches the sea. Being salty, sea
water is neither fit for human consumption nor plant growth. It is necessary to keep the water
clean fro drinking purpose and conserve it for growing crops and trees.

Protection of Forests
Forests is an important part of the environment, because trees clean the air and keep the
atmosphere cool. We cannot live without plants, because the oxygen need for breathing is
produced by plants.
Trees absorb sunlight and reduce the heat. Plants provide fodder for animals, firewood, timber,
medicines, honey, wax, gum, lace and food for us. Tree roots penetrate deep into the soil and
from cavities in the ground. The dry leaves which fall on ground, cover the soil and absorb
more rain water, which slowly percolates through the soil. Thus, a large portion of the rain
water can be retained in the field, by planting more trees. Flooding or rivers can be prevented
by protecting trees in the forest.

SOCIAL SECURITY

6.1 Social Security caters to the universal human need for reassurance and support in times of
unemployment, illness, disability, death and old age. The State bears the primary responsibility
for developing appropriate systems for providing protection and assistance to its workforce and
their families. Public support systems for social security in India have gained prominence over
traditional family support in tune with the trends of urbanization and work place migrations.
The dependence on social security varies as per the need and income status.

Labor and Employment Laws of India

Industrial Relations, Wage, Welfare and Social Securities. The enactments are all based upon
Constitution of India and the resolutions taken in ILO conventions from time to time. Indian
labor law refers to laws regulating employment. There over fifty national laws and many more
state-level laws. Traditionally Indian Governments at federal and state level have sought to
ensure a high degree of protection for workers through endorsement of labor laws.
While conforming to the essentials of the laws of contracts, a contract of employment must
adhere also to the provisions of applicable labor laws and the rules contained under the
Standing Orders of the establishment. Indian labor laws divide industry into two broad
categories

enforced by the State Government through their Factory inspectorates. The said Act
empowers the State Governments to frame rules, so that the local conditions prevailing in the
State are appropriately reflected in the enforcement. The said Act puts special emphasis on
welfare, health and safety of workers. The said Act is instrumental in strengthening the
provisions relating to safety and health at work, providing for statutory health surveys,
requiring appointment of safety officers, establishment of canteen, crches, and welfare
committees etc. in large factories. The said Act also provides specific safe guards against use
and handling of hazardous substance by occupiers of factories and laying down of emergency
standards and measures.
2. The Shops & Establishment Act

rules for the Act. The object of this Act is to provide statutory obligation and rights to
