SUBMITTED TO: SUBMTTED BY:DR. ANAMIKA CHETRI AMAN NAGALIA B.B.A. VI SEM HRINTRODUCTION:

Organized efforts and procedures for identifying workplace hazards and reducing accidents and exposure to harmful situations and substances. It also includes training of personnel in accident prevention, accident response, emergency preparedness, and use of protective clothing and equipment.Due to rapid industrialization, industrial workers are exposed to several types of hazards and accidents. Every year lakhs of workers are injured due to mechanical, chemical, electrical and radiation hazards and it leads to partial or total disablement. So in recent years, greater attention is given to health and safety due to pressure from government, trade unions, labour laws and awareness of employers.The efficiency of workers depends to a great extends on the environment in which the work. Work environment consists of all the factors, which act and react on the body and mind of an employee. The primary aim is to create an environment, which ensures the greatest ease of work and removes all causes of worries.Occupational health and safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized fields. In its broadest sense, it should aim at:a) The promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations.b) The prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their working conditions.c) The protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health.d) The placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to physical and mental needs.e) The adaptation of work to humans.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Health and Safety measures are inevitable to any organization where workers are involved. Its an organizations responsibility to provide to its workers beyond the payment of wages for their services. The workers health and safety on and off the job within the organization is a vital concern of the employer. The working environment in a factory adversely affects the workers 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.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

To Study the health and safety measure adopted in HIMALAYA DRUGS. To study the awareness of the workers about health and safety in the work place To find out the Occurrence of Accident Happened at the work place. To find out the Satisfaction Laval of Employee towards health and safety measures provided by HIMALAYA. To Give Suggestions to improve the Health and safety In the Organization.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:Research methodology describes how the research study was undertaken. This includes the specifications of source of data, research design, and method of data collection, the sampling method and the tools used.SAMPLE DESIGN:Geographical area:The study will be conducted in DEHRADUN..Sample units:The sampling units used by the low and middle level employees in production department in Himalaya employees. SAMPLE SIZE The number of samples to be collected by the researcher is 135.Sampling procedure / Sampling method:The sampling method that will be used for this study is Convenience sampling method, which is selected according to the easy and convenience of the researcher.

SOURCE OF DATA: Primary data:The researcher will collect both by direct survey from the employees through questionnaire. The researcher will use structured questionnaire.Secondary data:Here the researcher will collect secondary data from the company profile, industry profile and official web sites.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:Research instrument that will be used for data collecting is questionnaire and interview schedule.QuestionnaireThe questionnaire will be prepared in a well-structured and non disguised form so that it is easily understandable and answerable by everyone. The type of questions include in the questionnaire will be open-ended questions, multiple choice questions and dichotomous questions.Interview ScheduleThe interview method of collecting data involves presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral-verbal responses. Then the responses are filled up in the questionnaire, for further analysis.REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

House of Lords Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee (2009) This report evaluated the impact of the 2005 Work at Height regulation in the UK as part of an evaluation of a body of secondary legislation conducted by the House of Lords. The report concluded that the legislation appeared to have achieved its key objective of a reduction in the number of falls from height although this conclusion is based only on a change in the outcome measure without consideration of any other changes that may have occurred in the industry. A key finding of the evaluation was that there were a number of unintended consequences associated with introduction of the legislation. Sales of ladders fell significantly due to a rumour that they were banned under the legislation which was not correct. There were also a number of cases of alternative products being introduced to replace ladders that actually increased the risks and resulted in some accidents.Vickers, et al. (2005) This study investigated small firms awareness of and responses to health and safety legislation. The key findings were that awareness varied by industry sector, by the ethnic background of the owner/manager of the business and size of the business. Retail businesses were less likely to be able to identify relevant health and safety legislation and micro businesses were less likely to be aware of legislation. The study found no overall differences between white-owned and ethnic minorityowned/managed businesses however there were significant differences between ethnic minority groups. Pakistani and Bangladeshi businesses were the least likely to be aware of legislation. The authors do not identify a clear explanation for this finding but suggest it might be linked with other cultural variables including acceptance of authority. Vickers et al (205) note that some small businesses may actually work in relatively safe manner while being unaware of work health and safety regulations. Inspectors described these businesses as lacking in formal systems and paperwork but showing good health and safety practice. This was seen as being due to a commitment to good housekeeping and organisation of the business as well as a concern for the workforce. Where these businesses had significant problems this tended to be due to less obvious issues such as exposure to hazardous substances.Nielsen (2007) Nielsen (2007) investigated the effect of the communicative interaction between inspectors and businesses in a sample of Danish businesses. The study looked at how the amount of communication between the inspector and the business influenced the treatment that businesses received from the inspector. The aim of the study was to explore factors leading to differential treatment of businesses by inspectors. The study involved a detailed analysis of the records of communication between inspectors and businesses. Nielsens analyses showed that higher levels of communicative interaction between the inspector and the company resulted in the company receiving more lenient treatment from the inspector. Higher levels of communication also resulted in businesses being more likely to make changes as a result of the inspection.
