Dear All,

I Require details of methods adopted in all process

industries, (better if they are cement plants), to

control accidents / incidents of Contract labour. I am

facing a high accident rate because of the contract

labour.

I require inputs for preparing a safety booklet for

contract manpower & contractors depicting Do's &

Dont's

Kindly send me inputs if you have the same in your

plants.

Likewise I am planning for training programmes for the

contract labour. I want to be more pictorial. kindly

send me presentations of such type if you have the

same or some inputs for the same. The main problem is

that they are illiterate & adamant.

Thanks in anticipation

Dear Mr.Narayana Reddy You have spoken about a very common problem, which many of us face. I do agree that Contract Workmen contribute to a large extent in the Company HSE Performance, particularly when you talk about Industries like Cement, Steel or Construction where a majority of the risk prone workforce are from the illiterate or unskilled categories. This forum needs to have a broader analysis of this problem to devise the right course of action. I have been working in the steel/cement/construction industry for the last 12 years & my personal experience is that the problem is more related to the socio-economic conditions of these persons. They do not enjoy the luxury of choice in their jobs or in ways of performing their jobs. Most of the times they do not have the option like the regular workforce . Either they do or lose their bread. Laws do exist to protect them, but practically we very

well know the situation. Risk taking has become a part of their lives over years and it needs a patient, sustained effort backed by managerial commitment is necessary to bring about a change. They should be made to realize the gory results of an accident/injury and the family hardships. Rewards rather than punishments, one to one approach & ensuring supervisor commitment could help improve the situation. Also, control on contractors like pre tender HSE peformance assessment at qualification stage in addition to stringent penalties could help better the situation. Training, as you rightly said is a powerful tool in enhancing their awareness & this may need to be followed up by Individual Behavioral Safety Audits. Please let us know on the particuar areas/subjects you would like to focus upon in your proposed training

programmes, so that we can contribute in a more effective way.
