TRAINER’S MESSAGE

According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) more than 125 million workers are victims of occupational accidents and disease in a year and where out of these approximately 220,000 workers die and about 10 million are seriously disabled. Due to poor reporting and coverage systems in many countries, still the possible cause for accidents and the preventive method is not discovered. It is disheartening fact that India is one among the country where safety is given less importance.

Safety has its needs everywhere which starts from kindergarten, schools and colleges to heavy industries. Are we really aware of what should be done in case of emergency or we terrified of that situation? Even today, thousands of school children lose their life because of the hazards like collapse of building, window or a balcony, stairs, fire, food poisoning etc. The level of safety extends and increased based on the hazard in workplace or environment is increased. For many industries safety is the boon to safe guard an individual, property, possessions from various types of hazards which could be realized or concealed. There are various type of industries like Construction, Oil & Gas, Chemical, Mining, Electrical, Manufacturing, Aeronautical, Power, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, Food manufacturing & processing industries and so on which has more chance of accidents like slips, trips, falls, amputation, crushing, fire & explosion, electrocution, asphyxiation and finally fatality.
