| Industrialization is the main element of economic development and improved prospects for human well being. In India, people are experiencing the industrial progress. The pace at which people are projecting the growth (positive economic and social results), there is a need to be prepared for the associated fall out. Such growth will be accompanied by serious Environment, Health & Safety issues. These issues can only be tackled through improved awareness and implementation of good practices. Cleaner Technology, Behavioral and Process Safety are probably the answers to curb the adverse impact of industrialization.
Synchronization of human, machinery and the workplace environment play a crucial role in the sustenance of the organization. Machinery accidents do happen in spite of adopting high tech processes because of behavioral issues. Hence the attitude towards safety of both the employees and the top management is of utmost importance. Probably risk cannot be eliminated. However it can be reduced to an acceptable level. But due to process failure or human error accidents may happen. Hence there is a need to be prepared to control such crisis. Disaster management, communication on hazardous process, training on simulated emergency situation will help in controlling loss. Therefore every industry must have a Disaster Management Plan. CII Eastern Region has a dedicated Task Force on Safety with a focused objective of sensitizing industry members on better safety management to enable them to work towards an injury and illness free workplace. The Task Force strongly believes that the set of clearly-defined principles will result in improved safety performance, as well as better business results across the industry. CII Eastern Region has developed the Safety Principles Guidebook to encourage member industries to apply the principles in their respective workplaces. The Safety Task Force has created a virtual Safety Helpdesk to assist members in exchanging views and concerns on issues related to industrial safety & ergonomics and also to deliberate and develop strategies for ensuring safety for success and sustainability. The members are requested to post their queries to industrialsafety.er@cii.in CII Eastern Region has also embarked on a theme “SAFETY FOR YOU” with an objective to create awareness on safety principles in industry at large with a special focus on the MSMEs. It has also been decided to take the helpdesk to the members’ doorsteps to address their concerns and queries on safety in a clinical mode. Now CII Eastern Region is introducing this website which would take a step forward to sensitize industries and make workplaces safer to work in. |
