1.0 Introduction of Health & Safety at Workplace
Workplace safety is a composite field related to safety, health and welfare of
people at work. It narrates the strategy and methods in place to ensure health and safety
of employees within a workplace. Workplace safety includes employee awareness related
to the knowledge of basic safety, workplace hazards, risks relating to hazards,
implementation of hazard preventions, and putting into practice necessary safer methods,
techniques, process, and safety culture in the workplace. It also includes safety rules and
regulations designed mostly on the basis of existing government policies.
Every organization puts in place a number of safety rules and regulations for
its people. Safety training and education for employees is imparted periodically with a
view to making them aware about and updating them with latest safety measures.
Workplace safety is about putting a stop to injury and sickness to employees in the
workplace. Therefore, it is about safeguarding assets and health and life of the
employees. It also features in cutting down the cost of lost-work hours, time spent in
putting short-term help and the schedule and services that may fall off due to less of
service providers, pressure on those providers who are selecting the absent employees
portion or poor case, having to shut out or shut down a program due to lack of providers.
Before analyzing various aspects of workplace safety, it is pertinent to know the reasons
for ensuring safety in life. We attach top priority to safety and security in places we live,
stay, visit or working.
To Say no to Accidents–Accidents are fallouts of recklessness and lack of responsibility.
When we don’t follow required safety, norms end up in getting injured or even in ending
our valuable lives. It is true with regard to our home and workplace alike.
To Stay Healthy and Energetic- should have a healthy food habit, which is itself a safety
measure, to keep us healthy and lively for work at home and in workplaces

.To have Longevity in Life– should take care of ourselves everywhere we are and of
others for leading a safe and meaningful life.
To create Public Awareness–Promotion of safety norms everywhere creates public
awareness and discipline. It is true of workplaces and motivates new employees to take
up safety measures necessary for their safety.
To avoid loss of Property and Life–The basic aim of safety measures is to prevent the
occurrences of mishaps and hazards that sometimes cause heavy loss of life and property.
To Devise Planning for Safety–Need for safety paves the way for devising an effective
planning for all-round safety of employees in an organization.
Workplace safety and health surrounds the social, mental and physical well-
being of employees in all professions. Imperfect and unhygienic working situations have
the possibility to upset an employee’s health and safety. Harmful and risky working
conditions can be found anywhere, whether the workplace is in a building or in a house
or in other country. Regrettably some employers don’t have a bit of common sense for
the prevention of risks and hazards to employees’ health and safety.
In fact, some employers are not even aware of the fact that they have the legal
responsibility to safeguard the employees from work-related hazards and risks. As a
result of this problem, and a shortage of knowledge and attention given to health and
safety, work-related mishaps are usual in all parts of the world. Work-related hazards and
illnesses are usual in almost all the parts of the world and often have many personal and
secondary negative results for employees and their families. A single hazards and
sickness can mean extensive financial loss to both the employees and the employers.
1.1 Basic Objectives of Workplace Safety
The basic objectives of workplace safety are as follows:
Preservation of and assistance for employees’ or workers’ health and well-being.
Enhancing workability of employees by ensuring a safe and congenial work
environment.
Growth of the organization that remains free from prospective hazards and mishaps.
Encouraging a favorable social climate in the organization that motivates the employees
to work efficiently towards organizational progress and prosperity.
