CHAPTER 2
2.1 LITERATURE SURVEY
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
INDIA- HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK
INTRODUCTION

A safe and healthy work environment is the basic right of every worker. However, the
global situation falls far short of this right. The International Labor Organization (ILO)
estimates that more than 125 million workers are victims of occupational accidents and
disease in a single year. Of these approximately 220,000 workers die and about 10 million
are seriously disabled.
With world population increasing, the above figures are expected to rise significantly
if present conditions prevail. The situation is grim in the Third World. About 75 percent of
the global workforce lives and works in Third World countries, which have so many serious
problems like poverty and unemployment that the status of health and safety is very low.
INDIA

India has a very poor health and safety record. Much legislation exists to protect
workers rights and health but they are not implemented properly and only elite of workers
enjoys the benefits. Of the total workforce only 8.8 percent are organized. The workforce is
abundant, low skilled and easily available and the high rate of unemployment makes them
susceptible to exploitation. Getting work is more important than the hazards involved.

NATIONAL POLICY

Safety and health occupies a very significant position in India’s constitution which
prohibits employment of children under 14 in factories, mines and in hazardous occupations.
Policy aims to protect the health and strength of all workers. It prevents employment in
occupations unsuitable for the age and strength of the workers. It is the policy of the state to
make provisions for securing just and humane conditions of work. The constitution provides
a broad framework under which policies and programmes for occupational health and safety
could be established.
NATIONAL LEGISLATION
Legislation provides an essential foundation for safety. To be meaningful and effective
legislation should be reviewed and updated regularly as scientific knowledge develops. India
has had legislation on occupational health and safety for over 50 years. India was under
British rule in the 19th and the early 20th century, hence the principal health and safety laws
are based on the British Factories Act. The Factories Act 1948 is amended from time to time,
and especially after the Bhopal Gas disaster [See box], which could have been prevented.
This demanded a shift from dealing with disaster (or disease) to prevent its occurrence. The
Factories (Amendment) Act came into force on 1 December 1987.
The factory occupier must disclose information about:

Remove any dust or fumes from the workplace which may be injurious to workers;
Prevent overcrowding by maintaining a specific cubic area for each worker;

Maintain hoists and lifts;
Lifting machines, chains, ropes, and other lifting tackle must be maintained in good

handling, and provide protective measures and regular medical examinations.

The Chief Factory Inspector of the Factory Inspectorate enforces The Factories Act. But a
major problem is poor enforcement of the law. There are too few Factory Inspectors who are
not even provided with adequate resources.
HEALTH ISSUES
Taking the countries of the survey as a whole, the most common problems concerning
health hazards were noise, eyestrain and dust and fumes. Noise was experienced as a problem
of some degree - either minor or serious - in 67% of workplaces surveyed, eye strain in 62%
and dust and fumes in 58%. However, dust and fumes were considered as serious problems
more often than eyestrain. 24% of the respondents considered noise, 20% dust and fumes and
19% eye strain as serious problems

86% of the respondents considered it as a problem of some degree - minor or serious - and
56% as a serious problem. It was also considered a serious problem in more than 20% of the
workplaces in the chemical, textiles, clothing and leather





Eyestrain

Eyestrain was considered a problem to some degree, minor or serious, in the textile
industry, transport and communications; metal manufacturing, mining and quarrying, the
health industry, chemicals, etc. However, it was a serious problem more often in the transport

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 RESEARCH
INTRODUCTION
Business research is of recent origin and is largely supported by business
organizations that hope to achieve competitive advantages. Research methodology lays down
the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying the problem.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problems. It may
be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. It includes the
overall research design, the sampling procedure, data collection method and analysis
procedure.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A Research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data
in a manner that with economy in procedure. It stands for advance planning of the methods to
be adopted for collecting the relevant data and the techniques to be used in analysis, keeping
the view the objectives of the research and availability of time.
In general, Research design is the conceptual structure within which research is
conducted; it constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data.




DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive research includes surveys and fact-finding enquiries of different kinds.
The major purpose of this research is description of state of affairs as it exits at present.
SAMPLING DESIGN/TECHNIQUES
Sampling design is to clearly define set of objects, technically called the universe to
be studied. This research has finite set of universe and the sampling design used in the study
is non-probability sampling. Sampling technique used is convenience sampling.
SAMPLE UNIT/ SAMPLE SIZE
The number of items selected from the population constitutes the sample size.
The concern, which is considered for this study, is SALIENT SPRINGS
FASHIONS; around 250 workers are working in this concern. The sample taken for the
study is 100. As sample is taken according to the convenience of the researcher Convenience
sampling is used.
3.2 DATA COLLECTION
While deciding about the method of data collection for the study the researcher
should keep in mind the two types of data collection.
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data.

PRIMARY DATA

The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time and thus
happen to be original in character.
With help of the structured questionnaire, personally administered interview
technique has been used for the collection of Primary data from the respondents.
SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else and
which already have been passed through the statistical process
The secondary data has been collected from the company records, journals and
various websites.
3.3 SAMPLING DESIGN/TECHNIQUES
Sampling design is to clearly define set of objects, technically called the universe to
be studied. This research has finite set of universe and the sampling design used in the study
is non-probability sampling. Sampling technique used is convenience sampling.
SAMPLE UNIT/ SAMPLE SIZE
The number of items selected from the population constitutes the sample size. The
concern, which is considered for this study, is SALIENT SPRINGS FASHIONS; around
250 workers are working in this concern. The sample taken for the study is 100. As sample is
taken according to the convenience of the researcher Convenience sampling is used.




3.4 ANALYSIS & DATA INTERPRETATION
SIMPLE PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
Analysis is the process of placing the data in the ordered form, combining them with the
existing information and extracting the meaning from them. The raw data become
information only when they are analyzed and when put in a meaningful form.

INTERPRETATION
Interpretation is the process of relating various bits of information to other existing
information. Interpretation attempts to answer, What relationship exists between the
findings to the research objectives and hypothesis framed for the study in the beginning.












CHAPTER 4
4.1 ANALYSIS METHOD
SIMPLE PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS
The collected data is analyzed by using simple percentage method. Under this method,
percentage is used to compare the data collected (or) to interpret them.
CHI-SQUARE ANALYSIS
The collected data are statistically analyzed with chi-square test. The chi-square test
is a statistical measure used in the context of sampling analysis to determine if categorical
data shows dependency or the two classifications are independent.
