Abstract |
Evolution of industries/companies started in the start of 19th century. Some small and major industries/company established in this century and this company/industries increases day by day throughout the world. Due to this evolution in industries small machinery is replaced with big or powerful machinery, power capacity also increases and system made more complex. Due to this or along with this risk and hazard also increases. In every moment or every second in the word some accident/incident are happening. Accident/incident are those unwanted/harmful phenomena which reduces earning capacity of employee, temporary or permanent disablement and subsequently losses to the industries/company. Accident or Incident reduces man-hour and production which subsequently results in losses. It should be eliminated at any cost so focusing on this point of view to reduce the consequences engineering controls, administrative controls, modern industrialization and many control methods have been created to reduce or eliminate this. Accident reviewing and process monitoring is one of them which helps to identify which type of incident or accident occurs most and also which type of job has higher rate of accidents or incidents or which is type of job is more hazardous or dangerous. Reporting of these accidents and maintain the documents of these helps to find out and analysis of accidents to figure out the maximum number of accidents occurred in a year with most focusing area which has uppermost accident rate. So by reviewing and identify the gaps such type of repetition of accidents can be eliminated or reduces. By keeping in mind to reduce accident/incident we analyzed all relevant data and after finding the accident rate, frequency rate, severity rate etc. We plotted the same on accidental graph, frequency graph and types of accident on pi-chart too. This graphs shows that accident rate, frequency rate severity rate are varies in uneven manner but it’s shows that in the start and mid it is higher and in the endings of the years it is lowest this is because taking proper action, enforcing workers to follows safety rules/regulations, engineering control, administrative control and realisation of facts of safety i.e. safety increases productivity and reduces loss of man-hour hence it is profitable to the industries. Hence we can say that taking proper action, monitoring, inspection and reviewing reduces the accident/incident so kept in mind this thought we inspected and monitored the system and found out some frequent and hidden risk/hazard and suggested best suited safety measure, so by following the same risk/hazard of the same problems will reduces/eliminated. In this way by following proper safety measure, reviewing the accident/incident and implementing the same will reduces the hazard/risk and production will go with flow. |
