Organized by

INTRODUCTION

The Factories Act, 1948 is a social legislation and it provides for the health, safety, welfare, working hours, leave and other benefits for workers employed in factories. It seeks to provide protection to the worker from being exploited by establishments and it also provides for the improvement of working conditions within factory premises. It is enacted primarily with the object of protecting workers employed in factories against industrial and occupational hazards.

The workplace accidents are primarily due to unsafe human behavior which if corrected can bring down 90% of the injuries.  The safety of the workplace is influenced by a number of factors such as the organizational environment, management attitude and commitment, the nature of the job or task, and the personal attributes of the individual. Safety related behaviour at the workplace can be modified by addressing these major influences. The successful introduction of a behavioral safety process, focusing on identifying and reinforcing safe and reducing unsafe behaviour, is one means of improving safety performance.

Promoting safe behavior at work is a critical part of the management of health and safety, because behavior turns systems and procedures into reality. On their own, good systems do not ensure successful health and safety management, as the level of success is determined by how organizations ‘live’ their systems

Behavioral programmes have become popular in the safety domain, as there is evidence that a proportion of accidents are caused by unsafe behavior. Whilst a focus on changing unsafe behavior into safe behavior is appropriate, this should not deflect attention from also analyzing why people behave unsafely. To focus solely on changing individual behavior without considering necessary changes to how people are organised, managed, motivated, rewarded and their physical work environment, tools and equipment can result in treating the symptom only, without addressing the root causes of unsafe behavior.
