1.6 NEED FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE WORK

The need for the labour welfare arises from the very nature of the industrial system,
which is characterized by two basic factors; one, the conditions under which work is carried on
are not congenial for health; and second, when a labourer joins an industry, he has to work in
an entirely strange atmosphere, which creates problems of adjustment.

There is a social reason also as pointed out by the labour investigation committee, “the
provision of canteens improves the physiques, entertainment reduces the incidence of vices,
medical aid and maternity and child welfare services improve the health of the workers and
bring down the rates of general, material and infantile morality; and education facilities
increase their mental efficiency and economic productivity.

1.7 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

In today’s rapid industrialization set up, safety and welfare of the employees has
become a matter of concern. The organizations need to give proper safety and welfare facility
to employees so that it does not affect their work. Safety should be ensured for their life and
welfare should be given so that they give effective results. “The problem of the research
conducted is that whether the safety and welfare measure provided by the company satisfies
the employees working over there”. In order to express their views to the management I have
analyzed the satisfaction level and the effectiveness of these measures.
