CIRCULAR
Sub: Safety Week Celebrations - 2015
Sir/
Madam
Greetings
4th March is celebrated as the National Safety
Day throughout the country. This year
also, Green Triangle Society, in
association with the Inspectorate of Factories & Boilers, Industrial
Associations, NGOs in the State, annually organizes a Safety Week (4-10 March)
during which various programmes are held in different industrial Estates to
rededicate ourselves to the cause of Safety.
To commemorate this occasion, Green Triangle Society in
association with Inspectorate of Factories & Boilers is organizing two
training programmes namely Safety in Engineering Industry
and Safety in Chemical Industries. This two training programs
will be held on Saturday 7th March 2015 at A LUA Verna and will be
one day duration (10 am to 5pm)
Safety in Chemical Industries
Chemicals have become an indispensable
part of human life, sustaining activities and development, preventing and
controlling many diseases, and increasing agricultural productivity. Despite
their benefits, chemicals may, especially when misused, cause adverse effects
on human health and environmental integrity. Widespread application of
chemicals throughout the world increases the potential of adverse effects.
Growth of chemical industries, both in developing and in developed countries,
is predicted to increase. In this context, it is recognized that the assessment
and management of risks from exposure to chemicals is among the highest
priorities in pursuing the principles of sustainable development.
It is time that we deliberate on
occupational health and safety in chemical industries in transitional economies
because as new industries develop, existing industries expand, and new
technology is introduced, the environment is increasingly placed at risk and
hazards to human health arise.
Safety in Engineering
Industries
India is one of the fast developing
industrialized countries. Engineering Industry is an important sector of Indian
economy. Apart from a significant contributor to GNP and Exports of the
country, it also provides job opportunities to lakhs of workers. Over the years
industrial Accidents in the Engineering Industry have affected many workers and
their family members, who have suffered due to injuries or loss of life of
their dear ones. Though the awareness of safety is increasing,, it is still not
moving at the desired pace.
Use of modern technology for automation/
mechanization for improving quality and productivity has given rise to new
hazards requiring different safety approach and techniques. A worker, being the
mainstay of every manufacturing unit, is a crucial human resource whose well
being is vital, not only for his family, but also for the Industry and the
Nation.
It is time that we deliberate on
occupational health and safety in engineering industries in transitional
economies because as new industries develop, existing industries expand, and
new technology is introduced, the environment is increasingly placed at risk
and hazards to human health arise.
We sincerely request you to participate in the
celebration by nominate at least one delegate per program.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
S. M.Paranjape
Hon. Secretary
