A Study on Employee Safety Measures & Welfare Schemes
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Introduction to management:-
One of the most important human resource activities is managing ever since people forming
groups to accomplish aims they not achieve as individual managing has been essential to
ensure the co-ordination of individual efforts as society come to rely increasing on group
effort, and as many organized groups have become large, the task of managers has been rising
in importance. The purpose of management is to promote excellence among all persons is
organizations. Especially among mangers, hence aspiring managers, hence according to Louis,
“management is what a manager does”.
Definition:-
According to George terry “management is a distant process consisting of planning,

organizing, activating, and controlling, performance to determine and accomplish the
objectives by the use of human beings and other resources”
MEANING OF HRM
Human resource management means employing people developing their resources

utilizing maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and
organization requirements with a view to contribute to the goals of the organization
individual and the society.
DEFINITION
According to a “pulp subarea ” defines hrm is managing (planning ,organizing , directing

and controlling ) the functions of employing developing compensating and utilizing
human resources. resulting in the creation and development of human and industrial
relation which would shape future policies and practice of hrm with view to contribute
proportionately to the organizational individual and social goals.

EMPLOYEE SAFETY
Since the begging of the present century, employee safety and health problems at
work have been engaged attention of the psychologists, sociologists and the industrial
engineers. Psychologists are concerned with the theoretical considerations of accident
causation and the research into accident control, through proper selection, training and
the education of the employee; and the social and psychological factors that influence the
individual’s behavior in general. Engineers and safety officers usually render necessary
practical advice on certain aspects of safety in industry. They look upon prevention of
accidents basically as an engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of
mechanical safety devices. In fact, accident prevention and safety are inter related and,
therefore require a multi-dimensional approach. Its importance has increased because of
large-scale industrialization in which human beings are subjected to mechanical,
chemical, electrical and radiation hazards. Besides, modern industry is characterized by
complicated mechanisms, intricate job requirements, and fast moving production lines.
One of the important consequences of all this is increased dangers of human life, through
accidents.
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT AND INDUSTRIAL INJURY
The life of the industrial workers is full of risk and hazards. The injuries may be
caused as a result of any unsafe activities, or act of
their part or chance occurrence or as a result of some unsafe work condition or unsafe
act of employees themselves, or defective plant or shop layout, inadequate ventilation ,
unsafe and insufficient space for movement inside the plant or shop, etc.

An industrial accident may be defined as,” an occurrence which interferes with

the orderly progress of work in an industrial establishment”. According to Factories Act
of 1948, it is “an occurrence in an industrial establishment causing bodily injury to a
person for which him unfit to resume his duties in the next 48 hours.” In other words it is
an unexpected event which is neither expected nor designed to occur. It is always sudden
for a gradual process does not constitute an accident. Moreover, the event or occurrence
should be something to which a definite time, data and place can be assigned.
An industrial injury has been defined as “ a personal injury to an employee which

has been caused by an accident or an occupational disease, and which arise out of ,or in
the course of, employment , and which would entitle such employee to compensation
under the Workmen’s Compensation Act , 1923”.
NATURE OF ACCIDENT
The nature of an accident may vary from industry to industry. The employee may
fall from a height while engaged on a particular assignment; or he may be caught in a
machine while working on it; or he may fall against a machine; or parts of a machine
having a horizontal protruding motion may cause strike against him; or an explosives
used carelessly may explode, and injure an employee. Such accidents may result in
disablement or death.
Disablement¬- whether partial or total – may take a form of a loss of ability to

work or to move. Such incapacity may be partial or total. Both types of disablement may
be temporary or permanent.
 A temporary partial disablement reduces the earning capacity of an individual in

the employment in which he was engaged when he sustained an injury at the time
of accident.
 Permanent partial disablement reduces his ability to earn an income from any

employment which he was capable of undertaking at the time of the accident

occurred.
Total disablement, on the other hand, is a disablement, whether temporary or

permanent, which incapacitates a workman and makes it impossible for him to engage in
any work.
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Psychologists are concerned with the theoretical considerations of accident

causation and the research into the accident control, through proper selection, training
and education of the employee; and the social and psychological factors that influence the
individual’s behavior in general. Engineers and safety officers usually renders necessary
practical advice on certain aspects of safety in the industry. They look upon prevention of
accidents basically as an engineering problem to be tackled through proper designing of
mechanical safety devices. In fact accident prevention and safety are inter-related and,
therefore, require a multi-dimensional approach Its importance has increased because of
large–scale industrialization in which human beings are subject to mechanical, chemical,
electrical and radiation hazards.
Unsafe Conditions (work-related causes):
These, of sort or another, are the biggest cause of accidents. Such causes are associated
with defective plants, equipment, tools, materials., buildings etc. these can be termed
‘technical causes’. They arise when there are improper or inadequate safety guards on
machines; when machines break doen; when improper personal protection equipment is
instated; when mechanical or construction designs are defective. And unsafe; and when
control devices, which have been installed to make the operation of machines safe and
accident free are lacking or defective; or when there is an absence of proper maintenance
and supervision of these devices.

Thus, unsafe conditions include:
 Improperly guarded equipment.
 Defective equipment.
 Hazardous arrangement or procedure in and or around, machines or

equipment
 Unsafe storage; congestion, overloading.
 Inadequate safety devices.
 Wrong and faulty lay-out and bad location
 Improper illumination – glare, insufficient light.
 Improper ventilation – insufficient are charge, impure air source.
 Poor house – keeping
The other work related causes of accidents are;
a) The job itself: Some jobs are inherently more dangerous than others, such as
the job of crane man in comparison to that of the foreman. Similarly, work in
some departments (like personnel) is inherently safer than the work in others
(like production department.)
b) Work schedules, accidents increase late in the day. They do not usually occur
during the early hours of the work day. They are more frequent during the
night shift. This is due partly to fatigue and partly to the tact that night is the
period when one requires rest.
c) Psychological climate of the work place also affects the accident rate.
Psychological, mental and emotional imbalances are at the root of several
accidents.

2. Unsafe Acts: These acts may be the result of lack of knowledge or Skill on
the part of the employee, certain physical defects and wrong attitudes. These
acts include acts like:
 Operating without authority
 Failing to secure equipment or wringing other employees of possible

danger.
 Failing to use safe attire or personal protective equipment.
 Throwing materials on the floor carelessly.
 Operating or working at unsafe levels of speed, either too fast or too fast
or too slow.
 Making safety devices inoperative by removing, adjusting, disconnecting

them.
 Using unsafe equipment or using equipment unsafely.
 Using unsafe procedures in loading, placing, mixing, and combining.
 Taking unsafe position, under suspended loads, lifting improperly.
 Cleaning, adjusting, oiling, repairing, etc., or moving dangerous

equipment.
 Distracting, teasing, abusing, startling, quarreling, day-dreaming,

horseplay.
Personal characteristics also influence accident behaviours of individuals. For example,

characteristics like personality and motivation serve as a basis for certain behavior
tendencies – such as tendencies to take risks and undesirable attitudes.
3. Other Causes:
These causes arise out of unsafe situational and climate conditions and variations floors,
excessive glare, hear, humidity, dust and fume – laden atmosphere; very long hours of

work; unsatisfactory behaviour of domineering supervisors; excessive noise and

carelessness in the handling of such inflammable materials such as gasoline, solvents, oil
and grease, explosives etc.
Certain broad conclusions can be drawn on the basis of experience and studies
undertaken by psychologists such as:
 Young untrained and new workers generally sustain injuries more frequently than
older, trained and experienced employees.
 Those addicted to alcoholism and drugs, and those who suffer from boredom and
fatigue or indulge in exhibitions, generally account for a higher rate of accidents.
 The way the management motivates employees affects the rate and frequency of
accidents. The tensions which aggressive and negative supervisors generate
among the employees also tend to increase this rate and frequency.
 Unmarried employees generally have more accidents than married employees.
 Accidents are more frequent during the night shift.
 Woman employees have a better safety record than their male counterparts.
 Workers who work under Stressor who feel their jobs are threatened or insecure
seem to have more accidents than those who do not.
(B) EMPLOYEE SAFETY
Need for safety: Every organization should formulate and implement a safety policy.
The procedure to be adapted naturally depends upon the size of a company, the number
of plants it operates, the nature of the industry in which it is engaged, the production
technology it uses, and the attitude of the top management .After has spelt Old us safety
policy, a company should established a safety programme, the primary goals should be
reduce the number of hazardous factors, which likely to cause accidents, and (o develop
safe working habits among its employees. Companies should take concrete efforts to
provide safety measures. These safety measures will reduce the accidents The safety
organization plans and implements the safety procedures.

Safety Organization and Committee: In some organization, safety work is primarily

carried out by safety committee. Its function is to ensure the establishment of safe
working condition in an organization. The size of the committee depends on the size of
an organization, and generally includes one or more persons from among the employees.
The idea is that the workers themselves should be interested in the safety programme
which arc designed and developed for their good and offer their own suggestions for the
procedures to be adopted for their safety.
Measure to Ensure Safety in Organizations
Appraisal of Employee Attitude to Safety Programmes: A knowledge of the attitude

of the employee to the safety programmes developed for them and specific measures
adopted for that purpose – such as the setting up of bulletin boards, displays of safety
measures, pamphlets, booklets, posters, magazines and motion picture which highlight
them – would help the safety director in presenting safety information to the employees
of an organization.
Safety Engineering: The adoption of proper engineering procedures to minimize and, if

possible, eliminate work hazards is fundamental to any organized safety programme. The
machinery, which poses danger to the employee working on it, is generally covered or
fenced carefully when it is operation. Safety glasses or plastic eye-shields to protect the
eyes from the hazards of fire, glare, dust and fumes; hard protective caps to prevent head
injuries; gas masks to prevent the inhalation of poisonous fumes; gloves to protect the
hands against acids and explosive materials; safety shoes, overall, skin guards and safety
apparels for the protection of the body- all these are provided for the use of workers.
Materials handing is the most prolific source of accidents. Hence the (low of materials
during all the stages of the manufacture of a product should be properly planned to
eliminate hazards. The flow of work between machines and department should be

facilitated by provision of proper equipment, and there should be will-designed and all
well-marked storage spaces, aisles and roadways to ensure risk free performance of work.
Safety Education and Training: Safety education for all levels of management
personnel and for employees is vital for any successful safety programme. The goal of
safety education is two-fold: to develop safety consciousness among employees and build
up a favorable attitude on their part towards safety measures and precautions; and
secondly, to ensure safe work performance on the part of each employee by developing
his skill in the use and operation of safety equipment.
Supervisor’s Role in Safety: Supervisor is key person in implementing the safety rules,
providing necessary safety equipment and checking and maintains the safety equipment
in good condition. In addition the supervisor has to monitor the employee activities with
regard to following the safety provisions meticulously. Super should also conduct safety
training from time to time to make the employee aware of the latest safety development
and provisions.
 Safety
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.
 Accidents
An Accident, 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.
 Causes of Accidents
The industrial safety experts have classified the various causes of accidents into
three broad categories:

1. Unsafe Conditions
2. Unsafe Acts
3. Other Causes
Workplace Safety: Continuous Improvement
Our Golden Rules are mandatory for all employees, as well as external contractors.
The Golden Rules of Occupational Safety: Thoroughness and Vigilance

Everyone must understand the basic rules of prevention and comply with them. These
golden rules reinforce and complete our procedures for identifying dangers and
controlling risks.
These essential rules were established using records of accidents observed in our different
businesses. They must be followed to the letter. Everyone should intervene as soon as a
deviation is observed and stop work if the risk is not controlled. The twelve themes
covered by these rules are summarized below and a detailed brochure can be downloaded
by clicking on the link.
1. High-risk situations
Do not start up or shut down equipment or installations without using the
appropriate written operating procedure.

Any situation where the risk level is temporarily increased is reported. Induced risks are
identified and analyzed and compensatory measures are implemented.
2. Traffic: Machine/vehicle/cyclist/pedestrians
Do not exceed the speed limits.
Traffic rules apply inside and outside sites.
3. Body mechanics and tools

Do not carry out work if you do not have the right tools for the job and the
environment.
Adopting an inappropriate posture when handling objects or using tools can cause
physical harm.
4. Protective equipment
Do not access installations and perform work without wearing general or task-
specific personal protective equipment (PPE).
Collective protection is preferred. Individual protection completes preventive measures
already taken.
5. Work permits
Do not perform work without a valid work permit.
Any work performed on site requires a permit.
6. Lifting
Do not walk under a load while lifting is taking place.
For any work involving a crane, hoist or other mechanical system, a preliminary risk
analysis is required. Equipment must be in good condition. Personnel must be qualified
and access to the area must be restricted.
7. Work on powered systems

Do not perform work without checking that the power and product source supply
has been rendered inoperative.

Some works require the energy to be safely discharge or the equipment to be purged and
vented. In such cases a lockout system is set up to isolate the energy or product according
to a specific method.
8. Confined spaces
Do not enter a confined space until isolation has been verified and the atmosphere
checked.
Do not enter a confined space (container, tank, well, etc…) without supervision and only
after the atmosphere and isolation have been checked.
9. Excavation work
Do not perform excavation work without a valid work permit comprising a map of
all underground hazards.
Manual or mechanical excavation work, including dragging rivers and seabed’s, can only
start after a risk analysis has been performed to identify all hazards in the zone and
related precautions have been taken.
10. Working at heights

Do not work at heights without a safety harness when there is no collective
protective equipment.
Work at heights is performed on fixed or mobile platforms with a guardrail designed for
the task at hand.
Work on rooftops (buildings, reservoirs) is performed only after the roof's solidity has
been checked and appropriate protection has been set up.
Ladders are a means of access only; their use must remain exceptional.
11. Change management

Do not make any technical or organizational changes without prior authorization.
Any changes in technique or organization must be the subject of a risk analysis.
12. Simultaneous operations or co-activities

Do not perform simultaneous operations or co-activities without a prior visit. All

work or operations inside a unit in operation can increase risk levels. Interferences due to
simultaneous operations or joint-activities must be identified and controlled.
EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Employee Welfare is an important facet of industrial relations, the extra dimension,
giving satisfaction to the worker in a way which evens a good wage cannot. With the
growth of industrialization and mechanization, it has acquired added importance. The
workers in industry cannot cope with the pace of modern life with minimum sustenance
amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and soul together. Employers have
also realized the importance of their role in providing these extra amenities. And yet, they
are not always able to fulfill workers demands however reasonable they might be. They
are primarily concerned with the viability of the enterprise. Employee welfare, though it
has been proved to contribute to efficiency in production, is expensive. Each employer
depending on his priorities gives varying degrees of importance to labour welfare.
It is because the government is not sure that all employers are progressive minded
and will provide basic welfare measures that it introduces statutory legislation from time
to time to bring about some measures of uniformity in the basic amenities available to
industrial workers.
After employees have been hired, trained and remunerated, they need to be
retained and maintained to serve the organisation better. Welfare facilities are designed to
take care of the well-being of the employees, they do not generally result in any monetary
benefit to the employees. Nor are these facilities provided by employers alone.
Governmental and non-governmental agencies and trade unions too, contribute towards
employee welfare.
Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits
and facilities offered to employees by the employer. Through such generous fringe
benefits the employer makes the life worth living for employees. The welfare amenities
are extended in addition to normal wages and other economic rewards available to
employees as per the legal provisions. Welfare measures may also be provided by the

government, trade unions and non-government agencies in addition to the employer. The
basic purpose of employee welfare is to enrich the life of the employees and keep them
happy and contended.
MEANING AND DEFINITION

Employee welfare, also referred to as betterment work for employees, relates to
taking care of the well-being of workers by employers, trade unions and government and
non-governmental agencies. It is rather difficult to define the term labour welfare
precisely because of the relatively of the concept.
The Oxford dictionary defines employee welfare as “efforts to make life worth
living for workmen”. It is however, difficult to precisely define the scope of these efforts.
Different writers have defined it in different ways. Some writers say that only voluntary
efforts on the part of employers to improve the conditions of employment in their
factories from the scope of employee welfare efforts. Some others say that it includes not
only voluntary efforts of the employer but also the minimum standards of hygiene and
safely laid down in general legislation. Here are some of the definitions given by some of
the experts.
“Employee welfare is a term which must necessarily be elastic, bearing a
somewhat different interpretation in one country from another, according to the different
social customs, the degree of industrialization and educational level of the workers”.
According to Dr Parandikar, “Employee welfare work is work for improving the
health, safety and general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers beyond
the minimum standard lay down by labour organisation”.
Employee welfare refers to all those efforts of employers, trade unions, voluntary
organizations and governmental agencies which help employees feel better and perform
better.
Employee welfare has 2 aspects—negative and positive.
On the negative side, employee welfare is concerned with counteracting the
baneful effects of the large-scale industrial system of production especially capitalistic, so
far as India is concerned on the personal/family, and social life of the worker. On its

positive side, it deals with the provision of opportunities for the worker and his/her
family for a good life as understood in its most comprehensive sense.
Employee welfare operates to neutralize the harmful effects of large scale
industrialization and urbanization. Provision of welfare amenities enables the workers to
live a richer and more satisfactory life and contributes to their efficiency and
productivity. It helps in maintaining industrial peace.
Some important objectives which actuate an employer to take up voluntary employee

welfare services are as follows:
 To win over employees loyalty and increase their morale.
 To build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absentesum
 To develop efficiency and productivity among workers.
 To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits.
 To earn goodwill and enhance public image.
 To reduce the threat of further government intervention.
 To make recruitment more effective (because these benefits add to job appeal).
EMPLOYEE PROTECTION AND WELFARE

STATUTORY WELFARE MEASURES:
The preamble to our Indian Constitution promises justice - social, economic and political.
It also stresses Equality of status and of opportunity. Article 23 of the Constitution
prohibits traffic in human beings and forced labour. Article 24 prohibits employment of
children in factories. The article 38 and 39 spelt under Directive Principles of State
Policy are now enforceable as per the dictums laid by our Supreme Court.
Constitution of India, Article 38: State to secure a social order for the promotion of
welfare of the people:
 The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and
protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic
and political, shall inform all the institutions of the national life.
 The State shall, in particular, strive to minimize the inequalities in income, and
endeavor to eliminate inequalities in status, facilities and opportunities, not only
amongst individuals but also amongst groups of people residing in different areas
or engaged in different vocations.

Constitution of India, Article 39: Certain principles of policy to be followed by the

State. -
The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing -
 That the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means to
livelihood;
 That the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so
distributed as best to sub serve the common good;
 That the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of
wealth and means of production to the common detriment ;
 That there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women;
 That the health and strength of workers, men and women, and the tender age of
children are not abused and that citizens are not forced by economic necessity to
enter avocations unsuited to their age or strength
 That children are given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner
and in conditions of freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected
against exploitation and against moral and material abandonment.
Through social security and social justice are spelt in our Constitution, they are never put
into practice thanks to our Executives who only pretend to implement the programmes of
the State. Some of the important Statutory Welfare measures given by the government are
as follows:
(i) The Factories Act of 1948
(ii) The Employees State Insurance Act 1948
(iii) The payment of Wages Act 1936
(iv) The Workmen's Compensation Act 1923
(v) The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952.
(vi) The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1962
(vii) The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961

ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTION TO TRANSPORT COMPANY
Transport or Transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place
to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry").
Industries which have the business of providing equipment, actual transport, transport of
people or goods and services used in transport of goods or people make up a large broad
and important sector of most national economies, and are collectively referred to as
transport industries
A Large motor vehicle design to carry passengers usually along a fixed route according to a
schedule.
Historically, the term bus or omni bus transportation has been used to carry
number of people in one vehicle without regard to type of power used to motivate the
vehicle or whether a fare was paid. Therefore, historically speaking, bus transportation
probably had its beginning in the era of the Romans. Still speaking historically, most
authorities agree that the first example of a fare been charged for ‘bus’ service occurred
in France in 1662, when coaches called, “Carrosses a Cinq Sols” commenced operating
in Paris. A decade later-on march 18, 1672 seven vehicles that may fairly be called omni
buses, built to carry 8 passengers, all inside, began to operate between the various
quarters of the city. However, as soon as the upper class ceased to patronize these new
coaches, revenue fell of and in less than a year, the service was discontinued.
One or two futile attempts to initiate omni bus route were made in England in
1800, it was not until 1820 did the first successful operation in England commence the
London general omni Bus Company eventually bought out and merged the companies
operating these services within the capital of England.
Bus or stage service was instituted in the United States of America in the latter
part of the 17th centuries. The first four open stage coach routes were opened in 1683
between Boston, MA and Portsmouth, NH. Until 1832, practically no changes were made
in transportation vehicles. In that year, the horse-drawn passenger vehicle on wheels was
introduced to city service and put into operation on Fourth Avenue, New York city.

MODERN MOTOR BUS BEGINNINGS:

England generally is recognized as the birth place of the modern commercial
motor bus industry. As early as 1904, the London general omni bus corporation received
a license from Scotland Yard to operate the first gasoline motor bus on the streets of the
city of London.
The first records of motor bus operation in the United States from 1905.In that
year, the Fifth avenue coach company, New York City, imported one of the London
buses for trail on Fifth Avenue, with a view to replacing the horse drawn vehicles then in
operation. This was also the first use of the double-deck bus in the United States. First
bus built in the United States was constructed in 1894 by the Mack brothers
In 1914 and 1915, Stone and Webster established 3 bus lines to feed their Inter-Urban
electric railways.
1914, the transit company operating in St.Louis. Early in 1914, two busses were put into
operation.
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
As humanity embraced the 1940’s, few foreign countries had kept pace with the
bus industry in the United States; with the exception of England and Switzerland. The
majority of busses were municipally operated in England, and the London transport
system was then the largest single bus company in the world. During 2nd World War the
buses in England, as elsewhere in the world, did yeomen service.
INDIANS ROAD
Almost two million kilometers, 960000 kilometers surfaced roads, and more than I
million kilometers constructed of gravel, crushed stone, or earth. Fifty-three highways,
almost 20000 kilometers in total length, rated as national highways; carry about 40% of
road traffic. Around 60% of all passenger traffic travels by road. Urban transit dominated
by motor vehicles; increasing use of two and three- wheel vehicles, automobiles,
minibuses, buses, trucks. Large cities have major urban bus systems. Bullocks, camels,
elephants and other beasts of burden seen throughout India.

BRIEF HISTORY OF TRANSPORT INDUSTRY

Transportation in India is a large and varied sector of the economy. Modes of conveyance
for transport of goods in India range from people’s heads and rickshaws to truck and
railroads cars. The national railroad was the major freight hauler independence, but road
transport in India grew rapidly after 1947 both rail and road transport important.
The share of India transportation investments in total public investment declined during
the period from the early 1950’s to the early 1980’s, real public transportation investment
also declined during much of that period because of the need for funds in the rest of the
economy. As a consequence, by the early 1980’s the system in India was barely meeting
the needs of the nation or preparing for future Economic growth.
Many roads, for example, were breaking up because of overuse and lack of maintenance,
rail roads required new track and rolling stock. Ports needed equipment and facilities,
particularly for bulk and container cargo, and at many airports national civil airlines
needed supporting equipment, including provision for instruments landings. The
government planned to devote 19% of the eight five year plan (1992 to 1996) budget to
transportation and communication, up fro5 devoted to the sector during the 7th plan.
Although there is a large private sector involvement in transportation in India, the

government plays a large regulatory and developmental role,. The central government has
ministries to handle civil aviation, Railroads and surface counterpart agencies are found
at the state and union territory level. Improving the entire transportation sector in the late
1990s in the ability of the sector to adjust to the central government’s national reform
initiatives, including privatization, deregulation, and reduced subsidies.
The sector must also adjust to foreign trend expansion, demographic pressures increasing
urbanization, technological change and obsolescence, energy availability, and
environmental and public safety concerns.
India has a major railroad, equipment production industry. Although some state of the art
electrical capacity to meet most of its standard locomotive and passengers, car and
ancillary equipment needs and has made plans to export locomotives. The research

design and standards organization of Indian railways engages in research and simulations
aimed at further improving the quality of domestic achievements. This has included high
speed passengers train (up to 140 kms per hrs) and freight trains (up to 80 kms per hr)
and solid state signaling equipment. Because some 2/3 of the nations fright is carried by
train, there is a serious freight car shortage. To overcome this and other industry related
transportation problems, Indian railways envision having to import up to 5000 freight
cars a year.
GROWTH OF TRANSPORT INDUSTRY
Mass rapid transit systems are operational in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi. The
first rapid transit system in India, Mumbai railway, was established in Mumbai in 1867.
The Mumbai suburban railway commutes 6.1 million passengers everyday and boats to
have the highest passenger density in the world. Rapid transit systems are under
construction in Hyderabad and Bangalore. To decongest Mumbai Growing traffic,
another metro system is construction. Presently three metro lines are operational in Delhi
and more are under construction. Rapid transit systems are proposed in NOIDA, GAO,
THANE, PUNE, AHAMADABAD and KOCHI. Next only to railways the most
preferred long distance transport option for the public are the buses. Most of the state
Road transport co operations have buses which contact major cities and towns.
There are private bus operators who run regular schedule of buses for connection
between major cities and towns. Most long distance buses are scheduled during the night.
Long distance travel in buses is quite common for distance up to 500 km. In some cases
there are connections for distance like 1000km with a travel of 24hrs. With an advent of
better buses (e.g., Volvos) and better highways, road transport has become a fast and
comfortable option for travelers.
PROSPECTS OF TRANSPORT INDUSTRY

Most transport media in use today are generally fossil fuel powered. The reason for this is
the ease of use and he existence of mature technologies harnessing this fuel source. Fossil
fuels represent a concentrated, relatively compact source of energy. The drawback of

such transportation media are that they are heavily polluting, and rely on limited energy
source. Many ideas exist which try either harness Renewable forms of energy, more
efficiently use fossil fuel, or use human power, or some hybrid of these, to move people
and things.
The list given contains some forms of transport not in general not in general use, but
considered as possibilities in the future:-
 Air propelled train (proposed by Ray Bradbury in 1953).

 Bounce tube pneumatic travel (proposed by Robert A. Heinlein in 1956).
 Copter harness (proposed by Robert A. Heinlein in 1954).
 Flying car.
 Gravity repulsion elevator (proposed by Isaac Asimov in 1951).
 Light sail (proposed by jack Vance in 1962).
 Magnetic levitation train (maglev).
 Rolling road (proposed by Robert A. Heinlein in 1940).
 Personal rapid transit.
 Projectile vehicle (proposed by Jules Verne in 1867).
 Side walk (proposed by Robert A. Heinlein in 1948).
 Space craft propulsion or space transport.
 Tact or beam (proposed by E.E Doc Smith in 1942).
 Wormhole.
 Teleportation, such as the transporter from star trek.
 The motorized bicycle.

Review of Literature
 Mr. Robert [2006] According his study Employee Welfare means this are the
benefits that an employee must receive from his/ her company. Like allowances,
housing for those companies who provides transportation, medical insurance,
food and some other facilities where the employee has right to demand.
 S.KUMAR (1993), “A study on the Labour welfare measures in AFT Ltd

Pondy”. The author concluded the objective of the study is to find out the welfare
facilities provided on the AFT and the employee’s suggestion and opinion about
welfare measures by using structure questionnaire and by concluding personal
simple random sample for a sample of 100. The study revealed the welfare
measure provided by the company was adequate except for a few systems like
housing scheme and pension scheme.

occupational health and employee well-being”. He concluded the research
addressing occupational health and employee well-being concentrates on 4 major
areas in organizational psychology, job insecurity, work hours, control at work
and managerial style. The heightened pressure can impact their behavior towards
employees.

 S.K.SRIVASTRA (2004) in a study on “Impact of labour welfare on employee

attitudes and job satisfaction”, found that, if the management goes on working for
welfare of labourers, the labourers feel satisfied with their job and the get the
motivation towards their work. For the study two hundred workers were selected
from private and public sector with the help of incidental sampling method and
both the sectors have been taken from Kanpur city. Further the result of the study
indicated that welfare activities/facilities affect the workers attitude towards
management and job satisfaction in both sectors.

Alison Earle and Jody Heymann (2006) in their study entitled “A Comparative
Analysis of Paid Leave for the Health Needs of Workers and their Families around the
World” state that the ability of workers to take time off work when they are ill, and
when their children or adult family members are ill, is critical to the health of workers
and their families. They have examined labour codes and labour related legislation for
178 countries available from the International Labour Organization, and 160
individual country reports in Social Security Programs throughout the world to
determine the availability of paid sick leave globally and explore whether there is a
correlation with four measures of macro-economic status. They find that 145 nations
from around the globe provide paid sick leave for working adults, 33 for care of
children and 16 for care of adult family members’ needs, and find no evidence of a
negative relationship between paid leave for personal or family health needs and
macro-economic status.
Venugopal, Bhaskar and Usha (2011) explain that human resources play a
very important role in the development of the business. They constitute the
organization at all levels and are regarded as a dynamic factor of production. The
study was conducted with the main objective of evaluating the effectiveness of
welfare measures in industrial sector and to suggest measures to make existing
welfare measures much more effective and comprehensive so that the benefits of the
employees will be increased. In order to get best results from the employees,

management must be aware of what employees expect from their employees. It is for
the management to see that whether the workers get economic, social and individual
satisfaction and employee welfare activities.
Swapna (2011) addresses social responsibility of the business in light of labour

welfare with special reference to Singareni Collieries Company Limited. The linkages
and the ethical considerations involved in employee welfare have been addressed with
implications for labour welfare. The concept of social responsibility in its narrow
contours has been equated with economic welfare. Conceptually as well as
operationally, labour welfare can achieve through social responsibility, which in turn
is closely linked to the concept of social welfare and the role of the state. Hence in
this way, it is understood the importance of social responsibility towards labour
welfare.
Vijaya Banu and Ashifa (2011) throws light on welfare measures followed in
public sector transport corporation. This study analyses the various dimensions of
labour welfare measures that are perceived to the labours. It highlights the perception
and levels of satisfaction of the labours regarding the various welfare measures and
the methods to improve the welfare schemes in public sector transport corporation.
Poongavanam (2011) explains that India’s labour force exhibits extremes ranging
from large numbers of illiterate workers unaccustomed to machinery or routine, to a
sizable pool of highly educated scientists, technicians and engineers, capable of
working anywhere in the world. He studied the labour welfare measures in Anglo
French Textiles. He concluded that welfare work in any industry aims, or should aim,
at improving the working and living conditions of workers and their families. The
concept of labour welfare varies from time to time, region to region, industry to
industry and country to country, depending upon various factors such as educational
level, social customs, degree of industrialization and the general standard of socio-
economic development.
Rama Satyanarayana and Jayaprakash Reddy (2012) carried out a research
to know the satisfaction levels of employees about labour welfare measures in KCP

Limited (Cement Division). For the purpose of the study, convenience random
sampling method was adopted. Out of 925 employees, 90 were selected covering
almost all the departments. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The
results of the research reveal that majority of the employees are satisfied with all the
welfare measures provided by the organization. The overall satisfaction level of
employees about welfare measures cover under study is satisfactory. However, a few
are not satisfied with welfare measures provided by the organization. Therefore it is
suggested that the existing welfare measures may be improved further. Such welfare
measures enrich the employees’ standard of living and their satisfaction levels.The
above reviews show that most of the studies on welfare measures have been carried
out in public and private enterprises. These studies have not covered the entire
measures of labour welfare measures. Selection of limited samples and lack of
studying the relationship between demographic variables
RESEARCH DESIGN
Introduction
To get a better knowledge about any subject/topic, one must have theoretical
knowledge and also practical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge can be gained through
books but practical knowledge should be gained only through projects, attending
workshops. While I was studying about the subject theoretically, I got interested in this
particular topic “Employee safety and welfare measures”. The reason for choosing this
topic is,
Generally, accidents results in the loss of number of man-hours and this loss
affects the productivity. Satisfying or fulfilling the safety and security needs of the
workers, would give them a better opportunity and more time to concentrate on job
performance. So Safety and Welfare are the two areas that play a vital role in achieving
productivity and job satisfaction in any organization. Hence I choose this project.

Development of industry depends largely on the strength of the staff. The importance of
employee welfare measures, as early as 1931, accepted, when an employee of the Royal
Commission. When "a good place, he / she is unable where by his own fixed / herself.
Employee benefits programs may be seen as a wise investment it should and usually does
not lead to greater efficiency in the form of profit in return. " Employee benefits, known
as the employees to improve the work, and then perch employers, trade unions,
government and non-governmental bodies to consider workers' health care.

COMPANY PROFILE
In the long, the earth has been ample smaller. The transportation trade, transport freights
via trains, boats, hydroplanes, and Lorries, is victimization state-the-art
telecommunication-from global-system mobile communications (GSM) satellites to radio
tags- to trace freight and guarantee fast and secure delivery of wares. But in addition to
advanced enhancements, a simple mental box has been polar in unifying the earth of
freight shipping.
Transport and arrangement organizations extending from Taiwan shipping monster
evergreen marine to Europe's arrangement, Airfreight, and transportation group emerge
have at least 1 think about normal; the ever blessing instrumentation. The transportation
business has more than eight million institutionalized. Instrumentation overall
exploitation basic dealing with methodology and instrumentation in current expansion
allow multi-purpose clumps of cargo, as aftereffects of consistent unit are normally
staked on railcars, towed by trucks, or set in ships holds. The 1966 concurrence on the
association for institutionalization (ISO) is only one in each of the numerous ISO-
masterminded universal assertions that have prompted additional sparing cargo transport.
The sea shipping business decisions such crucial weights as which work U.S. based
shipper. Developing at in regards to 4 wheel drives a year, the business has looked for
after to strengthen efficiencies finished up containerization, also as through programmed

things considered hoped to low-tech arrangements. Some hour of the world's middle class
naval force is enrolled beneath open registries, among that ship-proprietors unit subjects
to bring down wages, less duties, and less-prohibitive tenets, giving arrangement offices
unit an obtrusive business area, as fabricates look for to supply arrangement instead of
keep up transportation inventories.

The transportation exchange is colossal, encompassing all from metropolitan transport,

tram, and voyager prepare frameworks that get individuals to and personnel to the

MEANING OF TRANSPORT:
Transport means conveyance or movement of goods and persons from one place to
another.
INDIAN TRANSPORT SYSTEM:

In India street transport administrations are worked both by open and private areas
however quick increment of traveller activity has prompted sharp rivalry among the
private organizations and individuals were not able duplicate up with the costs changed
by them.
Another purpose behind the foundation of open transportation framework was developing
populace, which was outside the ability to control of private organizations and therefore
