SWOT ANALYSIS
FINDINGS , SUGGESTIONS&CONCLUSIONS
CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION
Meaning:
There are two slightly different meanings of safety. For example, home safety may indicate a building's ability to protect against external harm events (such as weather, home invasion, etc.), or may indicate that its internal installations (such as appliances, stairs, etc.) are safe (not dangerous or harmful) for its inhabitants. Discussions of safety often include mention of related terms. Security is such a term. With time the definitions between these two have often become interchanged, equated, and frequently appear juxtaposed in the same sentence. Readers unfortunately are left to conclude whether they comprise a redundancy. This confuses the uniqueness that should be reserved for each by itself. When seen as unique, as we intend here, each term will assume its rightful place in influencing and being influenced by the other.

Instant water heaters may be referred to as: inline, demand, and tank less water heaters, point of use or instantaneous water heaters. The way the instant water heater functions is unique in comparison to the traditional ones. A sensor controls the flow of water into the water heater. The automatically ignited burner heats the water that flows through the heat exchanger to the required heat. If you turn off the hot water tap, the heating process stops. There is a dial to adjust the temperature. The major benefit of an instant water heater is that there is always hot water in it.

Review of the literature-II 1) Intervention effectiveness research: A review of the literature on leading indicators Abstract
Workplace injuries and property damage and the safety and health programs designed to prevent them are expensive facets of contemporary industrial activities. Indeed, the National Safety Council estimates that the cost of work place injuries totaled $131 billion in 2000, a value equal to the combined profits of the top 13 Fortune 500 corporations in 1999.Optimizing intervention strategies to decrease rates of injury and property damage with less costly safety and health programs would contribute to improved productivity and economic vitality in activities that involve such risks. Organizations whose activities involve risk of injury or destruction of property commit human and financial resources to intervention activities intended to prevent accidents, fires, spills, chemical releases, and unplanned shutdowns. The cost of implementing safety related intervention activities can be high if they are not effectively designed and optimally implemented.
broken down into specific practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the connection between organizational-level HR practices and employee injuries.
The authors divide HRM practices into two groups: 1) Practices that a firm can unilaterally adopt that do not necessarily involve the workers in either the financial or the strategic management of the firm, and 2) practices that increase workers' involvement in the firm in one or both of these dimensions. The first group of practices includes the degree of management involvement with the safety efforts of the firm and the level of information sharing by management. The second group includes the number of programs that allow employees to participate in the financial returns of the company, the number of programs that allow employees to participate in their firms' strategic planning, and the intensity of employees' involvement in this strategic planning.
Traditional models of firm behavior ignore such HRM practices, assuming management simply chooses labor and capital to maximize firms' profits. Management is also assumed to know everything that workers know about their own behavior and about their firms' technology. But, as Butler and Park point out, this is not realistic. Asymmetric information, where, for example, employees have knowledge that is difficult or costly for management to obtain, is common. Therefore, the authors develop a new model of safety outcomes that incorporates HRM practices. They estimate this model using data on an important outcomesafety costs. Their results show that HRM practices do affect employees' injury claims, may help reduce injury claim frequency,
and can reduce injuryclaim severity. Furthermore, they weigh in on the question of whether these results occur because HRM practices are improving technical efficiency or because HRM practices are reducing disability benefits consumption associated with asymmetric information.
Butler and Park conclude with a set of policy implications for firms, workers, and workers' compensation policy.
5) A review of organizational factors and maturity measures for system safety analysis
System safety applications include mission assurance elements of accident prevention, detection, containment, and recovery, which differ from the project risks of cost and schedule impact widely covered in the risk management literature. However, as with project risk, system safety can be significantly affected both during design and
operation by organizational factors potentially limiting adequate risk analysis. The comprehensive literature review in this paper emphasizes factors within organizations, such as bias and self-blinding, with potential for negative influence on analysis of system safety. Measures to establish a mature analytical framework follow, with the CMMI-SE/SW model as a template for System Safety Analysis Maturity Levels. These measures establish grounds for increasing levels of detail, repeatable processes, traceable conclusions, quality control, and communicated expectations for analytical and review activities. The purpose of the proposed maturity measures is to introduce a balance to the organizational factors that can inhibit appropriate system safety analysis. 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1. Fencing of Machinery
In every factory, measures should be taken for secured fencing of machinery. Safeguards of substantial construction must be raised and constantly maintained and kept in position while the parts of machinery (they are fencing) are in motion or in use. Fencing is necessary in respect of: every moving part of a prime mover;
headrace and tailrace of every water-wheel and water turbine; every part of an electric generator, a motor or a rotary convertor; every part of transmission machinery; and
every dangerous part of any other machinery 2. Work on or near Machinery in Motion
Where in any factory, it becomes necessary to examine any part of machinery, while the machinery is in motion, such examination shall be carried out only by specially trained adult male workers. Such workers shall wear tight fitting clothing and their names shall be recorded in the register prescribed in this connection. The machinery in motion with which such workers would otherwise be liable to come in contact during the course of its examination, shall be securely fenced to prevent such contact. No woman or young person shall be allowed to clean, lubricate or adjust any part of a prime mover or transmission machinery, while the machinery is in motion.
In every factory, suitable devices for cutting off power in emergencies from running machinery shall be provided and maintained in every workroom.
5. Self-acting Machine
No traversing part of a self-acting machine in any factory, and no material carried thereon shall, if the space over which it runs, is a space cover which any person is liable to pass, whether in the course of his employment or otherwise, be allowed to run on its outward or inward traverse within a distance of eighteen inches from any fixed structure which is not a part of the machine. This is to safeguard the workers from being injured by self-acting machines.
prevent any person or thing from being trapped between any part of the hoist or lift and any fixed structure or moving part. iv) the maximum safe working load shall be plainly marked on every hoist or lift, and no load greater than such load shall be carried thereon. v) the cage of every hoist or lift used for carrying persons shall be fitted with a gate on each side from which access is afforded to a landing. vi) every gate shall be fitted with interlocking or other efficient device to secure that the gate cannot be opened except when the cage is at the landing and that the cage cannot be moved unless the gate is closed. Where in the hoists and lifts used for carrying persons, the cage is supported by rope or chain, there shall be at least two ropes or chains separately connected with the cage and balance weight, and each rope or chain with its attachments shall be capable of carrying the whole weight of the cage together with its maximum load. Efficient devices shall be provided and maintained capable of supporting the cage together with its maximum load in the event of breakage of the rope, chain or attachments. An efficient automatic device shall be provided and maintained to prevent the cage from overrunning.
c) While any person is employed or working on or near the wheel track of a travelling crane in any place where he would be liable to be struck by the crane, effective measures shall be taken to ensure that the crane does not approach within twenty feet of that place. A lifting machine or a chain, rope or lifting tackle shall be thoroughly examined in order to arrive at a reliable conclusion as to its safety.
Suggestions 1) Steps can be taken to enhance the working atmosphere. 2) Training programmers on safety measures to be conducted regularly. 3) Live demonstration on accident prevention techniques can be imparted to the employees. 4) The workplace can be designed in such a way so that accidents can b reduced 5) A separate cell to handle grievances can be opened
Conclusion
The safety measures are very important to the organizations without safety measures the organizations cannot run the factory in a profitable manner. So that the company to maintain the proper safety measures in the workplace. Through which reduces the accident in the organization and improve the productivity in the organization.
