ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It gives me immense pleasure to present an analytical report on A study of safty measures and
environment management system, during desigdation report session at WIMCO (an
undertaking of ITC), Bareilly.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Mr.. ABHIJEET DAS , for his flourishing
suggestions, which help me a lot to complete my project.
PREFACE
The ability to manage is one of the most crucial skills in the world today. It is vital for
the continued growth of the advance countries and is an essential element in meeting
the aspiration of developing Nations.
Of course some people take different views of managing treating it as a bit human
behavior along with manager as means of a training personal income and status. Both
views are valid the study of management can be both interesting and rewarding. But
really compelling force that underlying the serious study of management is its profiled
social value.
Fortunately our understanding of the process of managing has improved significantly
in recent years. The process of modern day management revolves basically around
resource conversion. The management has various resources at its disposal via capital,
materials, human nature and environment. These resources are converting in to output
in the broad social welfare in the community. The financial analysis is distinct among
all the finance, as the position and condition of the company comes out.
The Indian Match Industry is poised for interesting and demanding times. The
translation of the Industry from a public monopoly to a competitive environment
now presents very interesting opportunities, both to the newer players and to
customers.

INTRODUCTION
Although technological innovations are reaching at heights, new and new concept are emerging
everyday; even then matchboxes can be found in any of the house in present times
also.
The common matchbox that is a part of each and almost every household in the modern day
world was invented by a chemist, JOHNY WALKER of Stockton-ontees, England
accidently. While conducting an experiment he has been using a stick to stir a
mixture of potash (potassium carbonate) and Antimony. When he scrapped it against
the stone floor to get rid of the blob, which had formed on the stick, it rapidly burst
into flames.
Today India is one of the leading match manufactures in the world. There are very sort of
match manufacturing factories in India in which WIMCO is one of the biggest
having Five centers all over the country.
In the year 1918, the Swedish Company set up its office in India with the objective of
manufacturing and selling matches in India. WIMCO Ltd. Is the oldest IndoSwedish venture in the country. It was launched as a private Ltd. Company on 7 th
September 1923 under the name of the WESTERN INDIA MATCH COMPANY
LTD. Within a period of 7 years, five match manufacturing factories set up by
WIMCO all over India. They were situated at Calcutta, Chennai, Ambernath, Dhubri
and Bareilly. And today-

WIMCO Ltd. Become a public co. Ltd. On 9 th July 1929. The companys name was changed to
its present name and a fresh certificate of incorporation, due to change of name was
issued by the Additional Registrar of companies, Maharastra Bombay, on 3 rd
December 1975.
With the passes of time , the company has engaged itself in the production and sale of the
matches, chlorates, perchlorates, bromine, gule and salt.
Sewdish Match Co. who has started the match making in India & even this Bareilly unit has
again collaborated in 1991 with the WIMCO Ltd. With 52% Swedish share capital. At present,
WIMCO is having 76% Swedish share capital.
Swedish Match Co. has, now introduced their own core value and principles of well being of
WIMCO Ltd.
The Nortern region of WIMCO Ltd. Covers whole area of nortern India consisting of UP,
Punjab, Delhi, Chhandigarh, Haryana HP, J&K and a part of Rajasthan as well as MP.
The Bareilly branch of WIMCO Ltd. In U.P. is located at Clutterbuck Ganj, on BareillyRampur road about 6-7 km. Away from Bareilly City. This factory started production of
matches in April 1930 with an initial production output of 130 cases per day (1cases=7200
matchbox). Production at that time included full size, three quarter size boxes filled with 60
sticks (80 sticks in big boxes) and under different labels. Semul was the only of wood used in
the production of matches. Employees learnt there their experience and a few were sent to
WIMCO Calcutta factory to learn some technical jobs.
After 1947, more machinery was added, more men employed & production increased by 460
cases per day.
In 1930, the factory employed approximately 450 people and at present the Bareilly branch has
approximately 1200 employees. Presently, daily production is 550 cases, in three shifts.
Although production process remains unchanged, the newer machines of better quality &
capable of producing at a faster rate were installed newer machines of better quality & capable
of producing at a faster rate were installed.
Now the factory is utilizing poplar wood for production of matches. Also, Bareilly branch has
adequate skilled experienced employees with required technical knowledge.

remove these guards. Defective guards should be replaced. Unplug defective machines and
have them repaired immediately. Do not use any machine that smokes, sparks, shocks, or
appears defective in any way.
Close hand-operated paper cutters after each use and activate the guard. Take care when
working with copy machines. If you have to open the machine for maintenance, repair, or
troubleshooting, remember that some parts may be hot. Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions for troubleshooting.
Unplug paper shredders before conducting maintenance, repair, or troubleshooting. Some items
can be very dangerous when worn around machinery with moving parts. Avoid wearing the
following items around machines within unguarded moving parts:
Loose belts
Jewelry
Scarves
Preventing Stress
To reduce stress and prevent fatigue, it is important to take mini-breaks (not many breaks)
throughout the day. If possible, change tasks at least once every two hours. Stretch your arms,
neck, and legs often if you do the same type of work for long periods of time. Rest your eyes
often by closing them or looking at something other than the work at hand. For a quick pickme-up, breathe deeply several times by inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your
mouth. In addition, always try to eat your lunch somewhere other than your desk.
Other examples of stress-relieving exercises that can be done at your desk include the
following:
Head and Neck Stretch:
Slowly turn your head to the left, and hold it for three seconds. Slowly turn your head to the
right, and hold it for three seconds. Drop your chin gently towards your chest, and then tilt it
back as far as you can. Repeat these steps five to ten times.
Shoulder Roll:
Roll your shoulders forward and then backward using a circular motion.
Upper Back Stretch:
Grasp one arm below the elbow and pull gently towards the other shoulder. Hold this position
for five seconds and then repeat with the other arm.
Wrist Wave:
With your arms extended in front of you, raise and lower your hands several times.
Finger Stretch:
Make fists with your hands and hold tight for one second, then spread your fingers wide for
five seconds.
Equipment Safety
As mentioned earlier, common office machines, such as the following, require special safety
consideration: copiers, microwaves, adding machines, papers shredders, paper cutters,
typewriters, and computers. Be sure you know how to operate these machines before using
them, and never use one of these machines if you think it is defective.
Other office equipment that requires safety consideration includes furniture such as file
cabinets and shelves, desks, and chairs.
Because file cabinets and shelves tend to support heavy loads, treat them with special care.
Follow these safety guidelines for file cabinets:
Secure file cabinets that are not weighted at the bottom. Either bolt them to the floor or to the
wall. Ensure that file cabinet drawers cannot easily be pulled clear of the cabinet. Do not block
ventilation grates with file cabinets. Open only one drawer at a time to keep the cabinet from
toppling. Close drawers when they are not in use. Do not place heavy objects on top of
cabinets. Be aware that anything on top of a cabinet may fall off if a drawer is opened
suddenly. Close drawers slowly using the handle to avoid pinched fingers. Keep the bottom
drawer full. This will help stabilize the entire cabinet. In addition,
Desks
Follow these safety guidelines for office desks: Keep desks in good condition (i.e., free from
sharp edges, nails, etc.). Ensure that desks do not block exits or passageways. Ensure that
glass-top desks do not have sharp edges. Ensure that desks with spring-loaded tables function
properly. The table should not spring forth with enough force to cause an injury. Do not climb
on desks. Use an approved ladder. Keep desk drawers closed when not in use. Repair or report
any desk damage that could be hazardous.
Chairs
Safety guidelines for office chairs include the following: Do not lean back in office chairs,
particularly swivel chairs with rollers. Do not climb on any office chair. Use an approved
ladder. Office desk chairs should have adjustable back supports and seat height. Make sure that
your chair's back support position and seat height are comfortable. Take care when sitting in a
chair with rollers. Make sure it does not roll out from under you when you sit down. Repair or
report any chair damage that could be hazardous. Do not roll chairs over electrical cords.
Ladders
Always use an approved ladder or stool to reach any item above your extended arm height.
Never use a makeshift device, such as a desktop, file cabinet, bookshelf, or box, as a substitute
for a ladder.
Follow these guidelines when using ladders: Do not load a ladder above its intended weight
capacity. Place ladders on slip-free surfaces even if they have slip-resistant feet. Secure the
ladder if a slip-free surface is not available. Avoid placing ladders in walkways. Secure a ladder
if its location could cause an accident. Keep areas around ladders clean and free of debris. Do
not use a ladder in front of a door unless the door is locked and barricaded. Refer to the Shop
Safety chapter in this manual for more information on ladder safety.
Operator's Position
Your seating position at work is important to your comfort and safety. To reduce the painful
effects of repetitive motion, follow these guidelines when working with computers or
typewriters:
Always sit up straight. Make sure your chair is adjusted to provide adequate support to your
back. Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest. Lower legs should be approximately
vertical, and thighs should be approximately horizontal. The majority of your weight should be
on the buttocks. Ensure that there is at least 1 inch of clearance between the top of your thighs
and the bottom of the desk or table. Keep your wrists in a natural position. They should not rest
on the edge of the desk.
Keep the front edge of your chair approximately 4 inches behind your knees.
RISK MANAGEMENT IN WIMCO
work well, particularly for more complex risks and circumstances. However, we believe this
method is the most straightforward for most organisations.
What is risk assessment?
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to
people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do
more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a
failure to take reasonable control measures. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect
your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have
to go to court. You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in
place a plan to control the risks.
How to assess the risks in your workplace
Follow the five steps in this leaflet: Step 1 Identify the hazards Step 2 Decide who might be
harmed and how Step 3 Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions Step 4 Record your
findings and implement them Step 5 Review your assessment and update if necessary Dont
overcomplicate the process. In many organisations, the risks are well known and the necessary
control measures are easy to apply. You probably already know whether, for example, you
have employees who move heavy loads and so could harm their backs, or where people are
most likely to slip or trip. If so, check that you have taken reasonable precautions to avoid
injury. If you run a small organisation and you are confident you understand whats involved,
you can do the assessment yourself. You dont have to be a health and safety expert. If you
work in a larger organisation, you could ask a health and safety advisor to help you. If you are
not confident, get help from someone who is competent. In all cases, you should make sure
that you involve your staff or their representatives in the process. They will have useful
information about how the work is done that will make your assessment of the risk more
thorough and effective. But remember, you are responsible for seeing that the assessment is
carried out properly. When thinking about your risk assessment, remember:
hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from
ladders, an open drawer etc; the
risk is the chance, high or low, that somebody could be harmed by these and other hazards,
together with an indication of how serious the harm could be assessment
involved; the precautions are reasonable, and the remaining risk is low; and you involved your
staff or their representatives in the process.
There is a template at the end of this leaflet that you can print off and use. If, like many
businesses, you find that there are quite a lot of improvements that you could make, big and
small, dont try to do everything at once. Make a plan of action to deal with the most
important things first. Health and safety inspectors acknowledge the efforts of businesses that
are clearly trying to make improvements. A good plan of action often includes a mixture of
different things such as: a few cheap or easy improvements that can be done quickly, perhaps
as temporary solution until more reliable controls are in place; long-term solutions to those
risks most likely to cause accidents or ill health; long-term solutions to those risks with the
worst potential consequences; arrangements for training employees on the main risks that
remain and how they are to be controlled; regular checks to make sure that the control
measures stay in place; and clear responsibilities who will lead on what action, and by when.
Remember, prioritise and tackle the most important things first. As you complete each action,
tick it off your plan.
implementing safety measures provided in the Factories Act, there is also need for providing
training in safety to workers, and installing safety equipment in the factories. Employers
should take the initiative in providing training in safety to employees. Workers unions should
take interest in safety promotion. Periodic training courses in accident prevention can be
organised. Safety should become a habit with employers and the workers alike. The Factories
Act provides for the following safety measures:

order may be served prohibiting the use of such building or machinery, until it has been
repaired or altered.
The safety measures result in increasing the efficiency of workers. It results in increasing
the productivity. It improves not only workers physical efficiency, but provide for protection
against risks of injury and ill-health.
Safety measures in factories include provision for fencing and prohibition of work on or
over the machinery in motion; provision of striking gear and devices for cutting off power;
casing of new machinery; hoist and lifts; protection of eyes; precaution against dangerous
fumes; explosions and inflammable dust and gas, fire, and
provision of safety of buildings and machinery.

What is Environment?
Our Environment is our surrounding. This includes living and non-living things around us. The
non-living components of environment are land, water and air. The living components are
germs, plants, animals and people.
All plants and animals adjust to the environment in which they are born and live. A charge in
any component of the environment may cause discomfort and affect normal life. Any
unfavorable change or degeneration in the environment is known as Environmental Pollution.
We need to protect our environment to live happily.
Protection of Land
Land is the upper layer of our planet earth. It is made up of soil and rocks. Land stores water
and provides a surface to live on. Soil contains nutrients and air to nurse germs and plants.
Fertility of the soil has been built up over hundreds of years. Soil is likely to be washed away
with rain water or blown away by wind, if it is not protected under the cover of grasses, crops
or trees.
Conservation of Water
Water is our line. With water, plants grow well, crops yield more and the atmosphere remains
cool. Flowing water is also a source of energy and mode of transport.
Rain is the main source of water. It is absorbed by soil and stored under the ground. A Part of
this water, which is not absorbed, flows into rivers and finally reaches the sea. Being salty, sea
water is neither fit for human consumption nor plant growth. It is necessary to keep the water
clean fro drinking purpose and conserve it for growing crops and trees.
Protection of Forests
Forests is an important part of the environment, because trees clean the air and keep the
atmosphere cool. We cannot live without plants, because the oxygen need for breathing is
produced by plants.
Trees absorb sunlight and reduce the heat. Plants provide fodder for animals, firewood, timber,
medicines, honey, wax, gum, lace and food for us. Tree roots penetrate deep into the soil and
from cavities in the ground. The dry leaves which fall on ground, cover the soil and absorb
more rain water, which slowly percolates through the soil. Thus, a large portion of the rain
water can be retained in the field, by planting more trees. Flooding or rivers can be prevented
by protecting trees in the forest.

SOCIAL SECURITY
6.1 Social Security caters to the universal human need for reassurance and support in times of
unemployment, illness, disability, death and old age. The State bears the primary responsibility
for developing appropriate systems for providing protection and assistance to its workforce and
their families. Public support systems for social security in India have gained prominence over
traditional family support in tune with the trends of urbanization and work place migrations.
The dependence on social security varies as per the need and income status.
