Industrial Safety in India accounts to superior numbers of
companies having their production units here. These industrial safety products
manufacturers make sure that they follow correct guidelines set up by the
government of India, so as to avoid any unlikeable claims move up their head
during the manufacturing process.
There are so many fields that are very dangerous to work,
such as the chemical industry, gas refineries, mines and a variety of other
places. These bear physical hazards for the people working over there and hence
in other words, also called as occupational hazards.
Industrial safety is generally very important for all foremost
occupations. There are physical, mechanical, biological and chemical hazards as
well as social and psychological issues for workers, who expend hours within
their work place. Industry wise construction, service and agriculture sectors'
occupational safety we are going to put some light on.
As per the Indian Bureau of Labour Statistics, mining,
fishing, metalworking, aviation, transportation and agriculture industries are
the most dangerous ones for workers.
Construction
Construction area is one of the most dangerous fields of
work, where the labour are in constant exposure to fatal accidents like falling
from heights, accidental injuries due to objects and building material falling
over people working on the ground and many more.
To certify their safety, the construction companies
employing them, make sure to give them proper equipment and uniform that
protects them from accidents. Helmets, safety vests, boots and gloves need to
be of the best quality approved by the industry measures. Apart from that the
employees must be taught properly to combat with the unexpected incidents and
keep themselves safe from such damaging events. These construction sites
sometimes even affect the non-workers, for example road construction work
sometime results into accidents of the traffic passing through it. To prevent
this, proper barricades must be set, with neon sign boards, so that drivers
would be able to move through the way cautiously.
Agriculture
Work-related injuries, skin diseases, noise-related hearing
loss, lung diseases and specific cancers relating to prolonged sun exposure and
chemical use in the form of fertilizers and pesticides in the farms are common
for the agriculture industry.
Farmers get injured by the farm machineries they use and
tractor roll over. Putting rollover protection bar and training them to use the
chemicals by protecting themselves are the only practical options for their
safety.
Service Sector
Most people think that service sector needs no physical work
and hence must be the most profitable and less painful field of work. Opposite
to the belief, it is one of the tensest environments to keep working every day.
The inactive life styles of the employees make them obese,
as they keep sitting on the same chair for hours, without break. They get pressure
due to too much work load; people working on computers even face neck and back
problems along with ophthalmic issues to top the list. Safety in this sector
means sitting in a proper position to support back and limbs, using computer
specific glasses, taking breaks in intervals to relax the body and avoiding
stress.
Every industry can function with sufficient
safety measures, if the organization and worker become aware of the
shortcomings and keep working.
