STUDY ON MACHINERY HAZARDS AND RISKS IN APPAREL INDUSTRY (SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MAS KREEDA VAANAVIL (PVT) LTD)

Abstract

This study was designed to look at machinery hazards and risks in the apparel industry to find out how these injuries start and how they can be prevented. Researcher used qualitative method study. In order to validate the direct observation findings personal interview was used. Data was collected through direct observation and personal interviews. Researcher has done direct observation from 100 machine operators and personal interview has been conducted among 20 machine operators to whom the direct observation was done. The results demonstrated that Ergonomic, mechanical, electrical, thermal, Vibration and Noise hazards and risks have been raised by machines. Those hazards and risks may be causing accidents and diseases. Researcher found the solution for these issues. Engineering controls and administrative controls can minimize the uncertainties. Control of Administrative utilize work framework to lower hazards and risks by providing a proper and planned policies and ideas. Moreover, Engineering controls also provide and reduce these risks.
