2. WHY NEED ATTENTION ON SAFETY
1. Over 7700 people die each day from work-related accidents
or diseases – that’s nearly 2.78 million every year
2. Every 15 sec, a worker dies from a work related accident or
disease, and 153 people experience a work related injury.
These represent an enormous burden for organizations and
society as a whole, costing over 2.78 million deaths a year,
not to mention the more than 374 million non-fatal
accidents.
3. The burden of occupational injuries and diseases is
significant, both for employers and the wider economy,
resulting in losses from early retirements, staff absence and
rising insurance premium (3.94% global GDP or 2.99
trillion USD indirect and direct costs – failing to invest in
safety and health is nearly equal to the combined GDP of the
130 POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD)

6. INDUSTRIAL SAFETY MEANS
Industrial safety refers to the
management of all operations and events
within an industry in order to protect its
employees and assets by minimizing
hazards, risks, accidents, and near
misses.
7. SIGNIFICANCE OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Industrial accident causes a great loss to both the
Employer and Employee.
Cost of compensation
Cost of medical-aid
Cost of training a new worker
Cost of the lost time
Cost of Investigation
Cost of supervision &
inspections
Cost of the Govt. in terms of Factories Inspector & other
statutory authority
Cost of spoilage of materials Cost
of the damage of machinery
Cost of wages payable during injury
Cost of loss of morale
Cost of loss to the worker and his
8. OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
To prevent accidents in the plant by reducing the hazard to
minimum
To eliminate accident caused work stoppage and lost
production
To achieve lower workmen’s compensation and reduce all
other direct and indirect costs of accidents
To evaluate employees morale by promoting safe work
place and good working condition
To educate all members of the organization in continuous
state of safety mindless and to make supervision competent
and intensely safety minded.
