2 OCCUPATIONAL WELFARE1.IntroductionThe success of the business organization is dependent on the professional skills, positivemindset, job satisfaction and health of its manpower. At times, the manpower is exposed tocertain menial tasks generating job related risks. One of the important aspects of the socialpolicies in occupational welfare is, it is centered on the occupational health of the employeesin order to safegaurd the health and safety so that the employees feel motivated and secured.At present, the majority of the business organizations are giving importance on occupationalhealth and safety (OHS) policies (Dixon and Scheurell 2016). 2.Justification of the Chosen TopicOHS is the discipline of preserving and maintaining human and facility resources in theworkplace. OHS is a sensitive issue and proper maintenance of OHS depends solely on theemployees, managers and shareholders of a particular organization. At present, thepercentage of accidents occurring in the manufacturing industries is far greater than the othersectors. Dearth in awareness on safety norms, lack of planning in accident prevention,negligence in employee training and education, use of outdated machines or tools, use ofhazard prone materials and poorly designed transport devices along with lack of propersupport from the management are the main reasons behind such accidents. To curb thisimbalance between safety and production, focus on policy formulation is mandatory. Suchsocial policies will predict various types of injuries in the workplace and will benchmark thesafety performance. OHS standards aim to deliver acceptable degree of protection to everyworker in relation to the working conditions and threats of injury arise that may arise becauseof his or her job role (Routledge 2016).
