1.1.1 History of Anglo French Textiles

       Bajaj Auto came into existence on 29 November 1945 as M/s Bachraj Trading
Corporation Private Limited. It started off by selling imported two- and three-wheelers in


                                             6
India. In 1959, it obtained license from the Government of India to manufacture two- and
three-wheelers and it went public in 1960. In 1970, it rolled out its 100,000th vehicle. In
1977, it managed to produce and sell 100,000 vehicles in a single financial year. In 1985, it
started producing at Waluj near Aurangabad. In 1986, it managed to produce and sell
500,000 vehicles in a single financial year. In 1995, it rolled out its ten millionth vehicle
and produced and sold one million vehicles in a year.

Products
Bajaj has made a number of motorcycles, scooters and cars. Motorcycles in current
production are the XCD, Platina, Discover, Pulsar and Avenger. Bajaj also Distributes
many motorcycles in India for other manufacturers, such as the Kawasaki Ninja 250R,[11],
the Ninja 650R and new for 2012, the KTM Duke 200. [citation needed] Cars include the Bajaj
ULC ultra-low-cost car.




       Unfortunately in the middle of July 1983 there was a persistent labour unrest, which
brought down the performance of the mill. This situation gave way to sell the mill to Sri
Jatia and Somania group of Mumbai. At that time the mill was facing financial crisis due
to mismanagement and the besieged by labour problem. This culminated into stoppage of
the operation in the mill and ultimately the mill ceased to the function from July 1983.


       The closure of the mill adversely affected the economy of Union Territory of
Puducherry and caused social problems. The representation of the jobless employee, public
and reports of the press made the government of puducherry to reopen the mill. It also
passed an act to nationalize the mill, which came into effect from 24th December 1985.
(Thereafter it vested absolutely with the government of puducherry initially and
immediately, thereafter stands vested with Puducherry Textiles Corporation limited).


       Now Anglo French Textiles is functioning as three units. The Unit A and Unit B
are within the heart of the city on the Cuddalore highway, and the Unit C is located 10Kms
away from the Puducherry city.

1.1.8.4 Investigation of Accidents


       Case studies are being carried out to investigate the various causes of accidents by
appropriately choosing accidents cases. In this the causes are broadly classified as 3
categories as below.


           1. Unsafe act of men.
           2. Unsafe conditions of machines.
           3. Unsafe environment.




1.1.8.4.1 Accident Investigation Report


       The following is the sample of report noted during 2006 in Unit A of AFT is
considered for the cause of accidents.


Name: xxxxxx           Code No.: xxxxx               Category: Beam Carrier


Date: 05-06-2006.      Place: Weaving Preparatory.


Report: When working as beam carrier and while removing the empty warp from the beam
stand, unfortunately the roll slipped and his right hand middle finger and ring finger were
caught in between the roll shaft and beam bracket and caused cut and bleeding injury.


1.1.8.4.1.1 Nature of Injury: Cut and bleeding injury (Right hand middle and ring
finger).


Investigation: The empty warp weighing about 100 kgs was lifted by two operatives one at
each end from the beam bracket. While carrying the empty warp, the flange of the beam at
one end was struck by the M.S. rail and due to this shock the man at the other end lost
control thereby got his right middle finger crashed against the bracket.



                                             13
1.1.8.4.1.2 This has occurred due to the following reasons.


           1. The injured person was not probably holding the beam shaft rigidly.
           2. The other man did not lift the empty roll well above the M.S. rail so as to
               avoid obstruction to the flange. This requires considerable strength in the
               workmen.


1.1.8.4.1.3 Remedies


       1. Every workman should be instructed about the possible dangers of the work.
       2. Whenever huge weights are handles manually, persons of physical soundness
           should be employed there on.
       3. Lifting of heavy beams must be handled with the help of pulley.


1.1.8.5 Wet Drills


       This is an exercise carried out by the coordinated activities of the personnel in
Engineering, Security and Personnel Departments. This is carried out to maintain the
preparedness for fire fighting. This is also called mock fire drill.


       Once in a Quarter the security personnel are informed suddenly, break out of fire at
some department without prior intimation and the time is noted down, also the Engineering
department is informed the CSO arrives at this spot mentioned. The Security personnel are
expected to be present at the spot as soon as possible and arrange for extinguishing (mock
fire) by making ready with the fire hoses nozzles protective equipments etc.

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRIAL SAFETY




                                          15
Life of Industrial workers is becoming more and more prone to danger.             The
Industries are becoming more in number, size and sophistication. Every year, lakhs and
lakhs of workers meet accidents in factories, mines and workshops leading to injuries,
permanent disabilities and sometime deaths.

       Accidents may be caused by unsafe working environments, defective plant and
equipments, poor supervision, careless acts etc., Industrial safety management is a vital part
of the human resources management in any industry because it ensures job satisfaction, job
security and motivates the employees for higher productivity. Also, it helps in loss control
for the overall benefit of the organization. Hence, industrial safety is beneficial to the
workers as well as management.


1.2.1 SYNOPSIS
       A good organization not only gives importance to the sales, profit, increase
production etc., but also provide safety measures to achieve the best results. This study
highlights the various safety activities carries out at the Anglo French Textiles PTC (LTD)
for the employees and the organization as a whole. Also, it would help the management to
know about the feelings of the workers about the safety measures.


       Industrial engineers are concentrating their attention to improve the design of
workplace, layout, selection of equipment and machines.         Employees also should lay
emphasis on safety measures in their plants.


       Moreover, rules and regulations, laid down in the labour laws, make it obligatory on
the part of industrialist to provide certain minimum measures of safety to employees. This
study is based on collection of data from records of the Anglo French Textiles, Puducherry
and also personal interviews with the employees.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE


2.1 Introduction
       An organization is made up of four resources, namely men, material, money and
machinery. Of these, the first one is living one and the other three are non-living i.e., non-
human. It is the human or people that make use of non-human resources. Hence, people
are the most significant resources in an organization.         It is man who makes all the
difference in organizations. According to Peter F. Drucker, “man, of all the resources
available to man, can grow and develop”. Human resources are heterogeneous in the sense
that they differ in personality, perception, emotions, values, attitudes, motives and modes of
thoughts.


2.1.2 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.


2.1.3 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.


2.1.4 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

                                     25
4.1 RESEARCH – MEANING


       Research is an art of scientific investigation. According to Redmen and Mary
defines research as a “systematic effort to gain knowledge”.
       Research methodology is way to systematically solve the research problem. It is a
plan of action for a research project and explains in detail how data are collected and
analyzed. This research study is a descriptive research study.


4.2 RESEARCH DESIGN


       A research design is a plan that specifies the objectives of the study, method to be
adopted in the data collection, tools in data analysis and hypothesis to be framed.
“A research design is an arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to research purpose with economy in procedure”.


4.3 NATURE OF DATA
4.3.1 Primary data
       The primary data are collected from the employees of Anglo French Textiles PTC
Ltd., through a direct structured questionnaire.
4.3.2 Secondary data
       Company profiles, Company registers, websites, magazines, articles were used
widely as a support to primary data.




4.4 SAMPLING SIZE AND TECHNIQUE
4.4.1 Size of the sample




                                              26
It refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute as a
sample. In this study 100 employees of Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd., was selected as
size of sample.
4.4.2 Sample design
         The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling method.
This method is also called as the method of chance selection. Each and every item of
population has equal chance to be included in the sample.
4.4.3 Questionnaire
         The questions are arranged logical sequence. The questionnaire consists of a
variety of questions presented to the employees for the response. Dichotomous questions,
multiple choice questions, rating scale questions were used in constructing questionnaire.


4.5 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED
         To analyze and interpret collected data the following statistical tools were used.
     1) Percentage method
     2) Weighted average method
     3) Chi-square analysis


     4.5.1 Percentage method:
                  The percentage is used for making comparison between two or more series
     of data. It can be generally calculated as




                                            No. of respondents favorable
                                                                             x 100
            Percentage of respondent =
                                            Total no of respondents




       4.5.2 Weighted average method




                                              27
The weighted average method can be calculated by the following formula

                             XW = ∑ WX / ∑ X



Here
       XW represents the weighted average
       X represents the value of variable
       W represents the weight given to the variable.


4.5.3 Chi-square analysis:
       Chi-square analysis in statistics is to test the goodness of fit to verify
the distribution of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution.
Therefore it is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected
frequencies.


The formula for computing chi-square is as follows.


                  Chi-square = ∑ {(O-E)2 / E}


        The calculated value of chi-square is compared with the table of chi-square
        for the given degrees of freedom at the specified level of significance. If the
        calculated value is greater than the tabulated value then the difference
        between the observed frequency and the expected frequency are significant.
        the degrees of freedom is (n-2) where ‘n’ is number of observed
        frequencies and in case of contingency table the degrees of freedom is
        (C-1) (R-1) where C is number of columns and R is number of rows.

                            6.1 FINDINGS OF THE STUDY


       The most significant findings of the study are the high level of awareness about the
various available safety measures among all the classes of the respondents.


       50 percentages of the employees lies above the age of 50 and their experience in
this organization is found to be above 20 years.


       The training on safety and first aid are given to 70 percentages of the respondents.
The management’s conservancy in the case of accidents lies on the disability of the labors
and also the respondents are satisfied with the remedial measures taken by the organization.


       The Working conditions provided by the organization are not up to the mark, and
the severities of the accidents caused are major. The major cause of the accidents is due to
the unsafe environment and the unsafe act of the labour.




                                             51
45 percentages of the respondents says that the air pollution is the major disturbance

     time.

     guarded properly there is a chance to reduce majority accidents happening
     inside their organization.
6. The factory inspectorate should advise and assist employers in drawing up
     induction and training programme in safety.
7. Workers reluctance to use safety equipment either because it is inconvenient or
     because it has been used by others should be removed through education.

                                     CONCLUSION


       The Study on Industrial Safety Management in Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd.,
tells that most of the employees are dissatisfied with the safety management practiced
inside the organization. The organization has to concentrate more on safety measures and
can provide safety equipments like goggles, gloves, shoes, masks, etc., to improve the
safety inside the organization.


       The safety training must be given properly and compulsorily to avoid accidents
inside the organization.    The first aid training must be given to both the labour and
supervisors who are working in various departments. This will improve the safety of the
organization.

  • 26. 4.1 RESEARCH – MEANING Research is an art of scientific investigation. According to Redmen and Mary defines research as a “systematic effort to gain knowledge”. Research methodology is way to systematically solve the research problem. It is a plan of action for a research project and explains in detail how data are collected and analyzed. This research study is a descriptive research study. 4.2 RESEARCH DESIGN A research design is a plan that specifies the objectives of the study, method to be adopted in the data collection, tools in data analysis and hypothesis to be framed. “A research design is an arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to research purpose with economy in procedure”. 4.3 NATURE OF DATA 4.3.1 Primary data The primary data are collected from the employees of Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd., through a direct structured questionnaire. 4.3.2 Secondary data Company profiles, Company registers, websites, magazines, articles were used widely as a support to primary data. 4.4 SAMPLING SIZE AND TECHNIQUE 4.4.1 Size of the sample 26
  • 27. It refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute as a sample. In this study 100 employees of Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd., was selected as size of sample. 4.4.2 Sample design The sampling technique used in this study is simple random sampling method. This method is also called as the method of chance selection. Each and every item of population has equal chance to be included in the sample. 4.4.3 Questionnaire The questions are arranged logical sequence. The questionnaire consists of a variety of questions presented to the employees for the response. Dichotomous questions, multiple choice questions, rating scale questions were used in constructing questionnaire. 4.5 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED To analyze and interpret collected data the following statistical tools were used. 1) Percentage method 2) Weighted average method 3) Chi-square analysis 4.5.1 Percentage method: The percentage is used for making comparison between two or more series of data. It can be generally calculated as No. of respondents favorable x 100 Percentage of respondent = Total no of respondents 4.5.2 Weighted average method 27
  • 28. The weighted average method can be calculated by the following formula XW = ∑ WX / ∑ X Here XW represents the weighted average X represents the value of variable W represents the weight given to the variable. 4.5.3 Chi-square analysis: Chi-square analysis in statistics is to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected frequencies. The formula for computing chi-square is as follows. Chi-square = ∑ {(O-E)2 / E} The calculated value of chi-square is compared with the table of chi-square for the given degrees of freedom at the specified level of significance. If the calculated value is greater than the tabulated value then the difference between the observed frequency and the expected frequency are significant. the degrees of freedom is (n-2) where ‘n’ is number of observed frequencies and in case of contingency table the degrees of freedom is (C-1) (R-1) where C is number of columns and R is number of rows. 28

The organization should provide sufficient personal protective equipments to employees working in all the departments. 3. Every fatal accident should thoroughly be enquired into and given wide publicity among workers. 4. The Organization should arrange for the medical check- ups at regular period of time. 5. If the Organization follows material handling principles and the machines are guarded properly there is a chance to reduce majority accidents happening inside their organization. 6. The factory inspectorate should advise and assist employers in drawing up induction and training programme in safety. 7. Workers reluctance to use safety equipment either because it is inconvenient or because it has been used by others should be removed through education. 53
  • 54. 8. Analyzing each accident and including what safety practice was violated. Management must come forward to reward the department which considerably reduced the number of accidents in addition to some financial incentive etc. 9. To reduce dust from the cotton good quality cottons may be used. 10. The using of exhaust fans will reduce the steam inside the weaving preparatory department. CHAPTER – VII CONCLUSION The Study on Industrial Safety Management in Anglo French Textiles PTC Ltd., tells that most of the employees are dissatisfied with the safety management practiced inside the organization. The organization has to concentrate more on safety measures and can provide safety equipments like goggles, gloves, shoes, masks, etc., to improve the safety inside the organization. The safety training must be given properly and compulsorily to avoid accidents inside the organization. The first aid training must be given to both the labour and supervisors who are working in various departments. This will improve the safety of the organization. 54
