OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY Praveen Kumar M1, Mugundhan.K2, Visagavel.K3 1PG Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India 2Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India 3 Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India Abstract The study of Occupational Health and Safety in Textile industry examines to promote Health and safety to the workers in India. The Hazards and risk involved in the textile industry is high compared with other industries and least importance are given to textile industries. Most of accident do 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(fault tree analysis) is done for the hazard with highest RPN no. Keywords: occupational health safety, Hazards, risk, legal formalities, working hours, RPN. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION The study of OHS in textile industry in Tamilnadu is studied by checklist method , questionnaire method, workers interaction. There are 1371 mills in Tamilnadu with working employees of 38461 workers. The Study monitor the OHS in textile industry includes five major sectors they are 1. Ginning Industry 2. Spinning Industry 3. Weaving Industry 4. Dyeing Industry 5. Garment Industry The hazards can be controlled by the industry with the co- operation of the management. Most of management does not aware of Health & safety and other problems is that the working people in the textile industries are uneducated and unaware of OHS. This condition is very difficult to control the HAZARDS and promote OHS to the workers .The hazards are prioritized by the based on the RPN number. The RPN number is calculated by the multiplication of severity, probability and detect ability. RPN = Severity x probability x Delectability. RPN is calculated for all the hazards involved which is involved in the textile industry. The maximum value of risk priority number is 1000. The process involved in spinning indusries are mixing, blow room, carding, comber, drawing ,simplex, spinning, auto corner ,packing. The hazards are also controlled by (1) safety Audit (2) safety survey (3) identifying Hazards (4) Risk Analysis (5) Risk estimation (6) Job safety analysis (7) safety promotion (8) emergency preparedness (9) safety sample (10) safety committee (11) safety inspection. 
2. LITERATURE REVIEW 
The hazards happening in the Textile industries are Mechanical Hazards, physical hazards, chemical hazards, Ergonomic hazards and physiological hazards. Exposure of cotton disease called Bysinosis .The Symptoms are chest tightness, breaking problem, asthma and irritation in the Respiratory track. The study tells about the accumulation of workers, improper condition of the machine, ergonomic problem faced by the worker, dust problems , poor lighting ,ventilation and unaware of personal protective equipment not given OHS in these industries. [padmini D.S et al.,2010]. Education is the fundamental right that helps the Growth of nation. The education help the workers to get knowledge about medical rights, legal and social behavior. The people are uneducated most of them do not know OHS at workplace .The Company unaware and lack of OHS some of them are training, housekeeping, accident prevention ,hospital facility ,safety signs[ Nazia Mlik et al.,2010].To control the noise level in the company premises and outside the company necessary action must be taken that noise regulation must be adopted.[ Hafiz Danish Ashraf et al .,2009 ].To maintain the quality and production, the health of worker is essential .The most important Hazard in occupational is noise. To maintain the quality and production ,the health of the worker is essential [ Ahmad HO et al.,2001].The Main cause of noise problem in the weaving and spinning industry is due to the poor design, overload and old machinery.[ James MG et al.,2009].In industries is noise is a big problem that affects the human peace and increase the stress.[Iqbal SM et al., 2007] . The musculoskeletal disorders are caused by continuous work , lifting high weight, doing job without appropriate procedures.[ Tiwari meenaxi et al.,2012].

4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 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. 4.2 Working and Living Condition of Worker 4.2.1 Overworked Labour Force 
All workers, whether they are willingly to work or non will to work they are forced to work for 12 hours. These 12 hours does not include overtime. some workers complaint that they are forcing to work more than that time. As per Factories act 1948 under chapter -6 working hours of Adults in section 51 ,no worker should not work more than 48 hours in a week and compensation Holiday must be given for Extra working days.. 4.2.2 Unprotected Working Condition As we know that inhalation of cotton fiber leads to BYSONIS. so It is compulsory to use Masks for these working Environment but no one following these safety Measure. As per factories act 1948,under chapter -4,under section 27 says, prohibition of employment of women and children near cotton opener. Types of Hazards 1) Physical hazards 
noise, fire, temperature. 2)Electrical hazards 
short circuit happens. 
3) Ergonomically hazards continuous work, improper work station. 
4) Physiological hazards personal problems, financial problem.

Spinning industry: 
Spinning is the major part of textile 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 occurs 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. In spinning major hazard is cotton dust causes many health problems to the workers, RPN(Risk priority no) was high to this hazard. Table -3 Ergonomically Hazards:

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Special Issue: 11 | NCAMESHE - 2014 | Jun-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 168 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY Praveen Kumar M1, Mugundhan.K2, Visagavel.K3 1PG Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India 2Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India 3 Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering, Knowledge Institute of Technology, Tamilnadu, India Abstract The study of Occupational Health and Safety in Textile industry examines to promote Health and safety to the workers in India. The Hazards and risk involved in the textile industry is high compared with other industries and least importance are given to textile industries. Most of accident do 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(fault tree analysis) is done for the hazard with highest RPN no. Keywords: occupational health safety, Hazards, risk, legal formalities, working hours, RPN. --------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION The study of OHS in textile industry in Tamilnadu is studied by checklist method , questionnaire method, workers interaction. There are 1371 mills in Tamilnadu with working employees of 38461 workers. The Study monitor the OHS in textile industry includes five major sectors they are 1. Ginning Industry 2. Spinning Industry 3. Weaving Industry 4. Dyeing Industry 5. Garment Industry The hazards can be controlled by the industry with the co- operation of the management. Most of management does not aware of Health & safety and other problems is that the working people in the textile industries are uneducated and unaware of OHS. This condition is very difficult to control the HAZARDS and promote OHS to the workers .The hazards are prioritized by the based on the RPN number. The RPN number is calculated by the multiplication of severity, probability and detect ability. RPN = Severity x probability x Delectability. RPN is calculated for all the hazards involved which is involved in the textile industry. The maximum value of risk priority number is 1000. The process involved in spinning indusries are mixing, blow room, carding, comber, drawing ,simplex, spinning, auto corner ,packing. The hazards are also controlled by (1) safety Audit (2) safety survey (3) identifying Hazards (4) Risk Analysis (5) Risk estimation (6) Job safety analysis (7) safety promotion (8) emergency preparedness (9) safety sample (10) safety committee (11) safety inspection. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW The hazards happening in the Textile industries are Mechanical Hazards, physical hazards, chemical hazards, Ergonomic hazards and physiological hazards. Exposure of cotton disease called Bysinosis .The Symptoms are chest tightness, breaking problem, asthma and irritation in the Respiratory track. The study tells about the accumulation of workers, improper condition of the machine, ergonomic problem faced by the worker, dust problems , poor lighting ,ventilation and unaware of personal protective equipment not given OHS in these industries. [padmini D.S et al.,2010]. Education is the fundamental right that helps the Growth of nation. The education help the workers to get knowledge about medical rights, legal and social behavior. The people are uneducated most of them do not know OHS at workplace .The Company unaware and lack of OHS some of them are training, housekeeping, accident prevention ,hospital facility ,safety signs[ Nazia Mlik et al.,2010].To control the noise level in the company premises and outside the company necessary action must be taken that noise regulation must be adopted.[ Hafiz Danish Ashraf et al .,2009 ].To maintain the quality and production, the health of worker is essential .The most important Hazard in occupational is noise. To maintain the quality and production ,the health of the worker is essential [ Ahmad HO et al.,2001].The Main cause of noise problem in the weaving and spinning industry is due to the poor design, overload and old machinery.[ James MG et al.,2009].In industries is noise is a big problem that affects the human peace and increase the stress.[Iqbal SM et al., 2007] . The musculoskeletal disorders are caused by continuous work , lifting high weight, doing job without appropriate procedures.[ Tiwari meenaxi et al.,2012].

AIM AND OBJECTIVES The main objective of the study is conducted due to the Reasons : 1. Measure work environment issues such that noise, temperature, lighting humidity. 2. To find out Hazards in the Textile and tell the accurate control measure. 3. Detect unsafe working condition in the Textile industries. 4. METHODOLOGY 4.1 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. 4.2 Working and Living Condition of Worker 4.2.1 Overworked Labour Force All workers, whether they are willingly to work or non will to work they are forced to work for 12 hours. These 12 hours does not include overtime. some workers complaint that they are forcing to work more than that time. As per Factories act 1948 under chapter -6 working hours of Adults in section 51 ,no worker should not work more than 48 hours in a week and compensation Holiday must be given for Extra working days.. 4.2.2 Unprotected Working Condition As we know that inhalation of cotton fiber leads to BYSONIS. so It is compulsory to use Masks for these working Environment but no one following these safety Measure. As per factories act 1948,under chapter -4,under section 27 says, prohibition of employment of women and children near cotton opener. Types of Hazards 1) Physical hazards noise, fire, temperature. 2)Electrical hazards short circuit happens. 3) Ergonomically hazards continuous work, improper work station. 4) Physiological hazards personal problems, financial problem.
