REMEDIAL MEASURES OF HEALTH AND SAFTY IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY PREPARED BY: AELYA SHAH University of Karachi SUBMITTED TO: MADAM SHUGUFTA INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVE:  To identify hazards in textile industry and provide with appropriate remedial measures. OUTCOME: • To make working environment more safer and healthier. Immediate action must be taken to control this hazard to save workers health and promote safety. DEFINE HEALTH AND SAFETY? • Regulations and procedures intended to prevent accident or injury in workplaces or public environments. REMEDIAL MEASURES: Remedial Measures means taking steps to alleviate something we don't desire to experience. AGENDA: • The study of Occupational Health and Safety in Textile industry examines to promote Health and safety to the workers in Pakistan. The Hazards and risk involved in the textile industry is high compared with other industries and least importance is given to textile industries. Most of accident does not come to the legal formalities. The People are not aware of Health & safety is due to the workers are uneducated and management not given importance due to promote OHS in Textile industry becomes a barriers in implementing OHS. The major hazards happen are physical, chemical, ergonomically & physiologically hazards along with these some of things which can create hazards are more working hours, improper ventilation. The RPN (Risk priority number) has been find out for all the hazards in the textile industry and FEA is done for the hazard with highest RPN no. EXPOSURE TO COTTON DUST EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS EXPOSURE TO NOISE ERGONOMIC ISSUES The Major Health And Safety Issues In The Textile Industry METHODOLOGY GINNING INDUSTRY: • The cotton in a machine which is used to separate the cotton fiber from the seeds and the cotton send to the textile for making yarn. The one of main Hazard in ginning industry is fire, the causes of fire happens in the Ginning Industry are Electrical, Manmade Behavior, spark from the Machine and stored Raw cotton in sunlight and other causes METHODOLOGY • SPINNING INDUSTRY: The textiles are fabricated into clothes. Noise is the main hazard in textile industry. The noise pollution (Regulation and control) rule 2000 in industrial area was 75db at Day Time [6 AM to 10 AM] and Night time [10 PM to 6 AM].The fire accidents occur in textile mills are often. The Hazards in the spinning mills are more compare to other sectors of textile industry because the Raw material cotton exposed to the fire easily. PHYSICAL ELECTRICAL ERGONOMICALLY PHYSIOLOGICAL TYPES OF HAZARDS PHYSICAL HAZARD It includes noise,fire,temperature etc HAZARD • NOISE (noise induced hearing loss Tinnitus) REMEDIAL MEASURE • Isolation of the machine and silencer must be kept • Inverted drive control noise in ring frame • Proper maintenance lubricating control noise PHYSICAL HAZARD HAZARD • DUST (causes respiratory problems and causes Byssinosis, a disease caused by cotton dust) REMEDIAL MEASURE • Dust collector • Proper house keeping • Necessary PPE should wear by worker [...]... as limiting the time spent in noisy environment • Scheduling noisy operation outside normal shifts or at distant location SUMMARY • The above presentation has demonstrated the hazards and risk involved and their remedial measures in the five main sector of textile industries Ginning Industry Spinning Industry Weaving Industry Dyeing Industry and Garment Industry but the spinning and ginning industries... machines, the proper maintenance and correct alignment of the gin machinery • Also OSHA standards can be used in textile industry of Pakistan in order to improve the health and safety aspects of the labor REFRENCES • [1] C.W Kan ,”Occupational safety and health management system in textile industry , international lconference textile & fashion 2012 july 3-4-12 bangok Thailand • [2] D.S Padmini ,” Unsafe work... environment in garments industries”,journal of environment research and development, volume 7 no.1A 2012 • [3] Nazia malik ,” Role of hazard control measure in occupational health and safety in the textile industry of Pakistan, pak j.agri sci vol 47(1), 72-76,2010 • [4] Hafiz Danish asraf.,”frequency of hearing loss among textile workers of wearing units in Karachi, Pakistan • [5] Jamro K (2013), Remedial measures. ..
