British and was subsequently renamed as Tablets (India) Limited".

5.2. SUGGESTIONS

 One main suggestion regarding safety health and environmental policy is

most of the employee feel that more awareness program relating to SHE
policy should be conducted.

 Another important suggestion is online air analysis should be done to

control accidents.

 More number of employee was dissatisfied with spittoons facilities

available in the organization so that should be maintain properly.

 Digital boards be kept in plant areas to ensure safety and pollution level
should be controlled.

95
5.3. CONCLUSION

The researcher had made an attempt to find the perception of

employees towards safety, health and environmental policy in TABLETS INDIA
LTD, Chennai and retreads such as awareness program regarding SHE policy to be
increased and others such as providing personal protective equipment’s, controlling
hazards in the workplace and hygienic work condition are properly maintained by
the organization. But few of them need to be redressed properly by management
to improve the SHE policy. Finally, the researcher requests the management to
make changes in suggested areas to improve SHE policy.
