There are quite a number of material handling equipment available for industrial use. Depending on the industry type, models of equipment are segregated. Specific usage increase the capacity and load. They can carry off. The handling also makes a difference when it comes to performance. Well maintained equipment definitely functions better in worse conditions.

Cherry picker is one of the most used material handling equipment for various purpose. The usage in not restricted to particular sector, it can be implemented in manufacturing, automobiles, food processing, textile, aerospace, railways, goods production and various other industries. The cherry picker handles, moves, arranges or transport equipments and items from one place to another and are used for proper handling of goods. They are also termed as boom lifts.

Boom lifts are associated with placing materials and goods and handling them in the best possible manner. They have the capacity to raise the products to certain heights and also moving them forward, backward. Made under high surveillance boom lift is technically advanced and is associated with quality equipment and better functioning. In the same lines, lift tables are there. They are flat platforms that can be lifted, rotated, moved and positioned as per usability.

Be it cherry picker, boom lift or lift tables; the equipment ensures simple working procedures and safety of its users. They are robust, easy-to-use equipment that improves the overall working of job sites. There are certain job sites like mining or outdoor projects, where these equipments face adverse working conditions and their strong and premium manufacturing resists them from ill functioning. The equipments are made to perform and they do their best in any given situation.

Hand Tool Hazards and Protection

Usually, hand and power tool hazards are caused through misuse and improper maintenance. You should remember the following when handling such tools:

Do not use wrenches when their jaws are sprung;
Never use impact tools, such as chisels and wedges, when their heads have mushroomed;
Tools with loose, cracked or splintered handles should never be used;
You must never use a screwdriver as a chisel;
Tools with taped handles should be checked first for any hidden cracks;
Use Personal Protective Equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves;
Keep floor surface where working free from debris and tripping or slipping hazards;
Keep cutting tools sharp.

Power Tool Hazards and Precautions

Power tools could be extremely hazardous when used improperly. They must always be fitted with guards and safety switches. Here are some precautions you should take while handling such tools:

Remember to disconnect all tools when they are not in use and also when their accessories are changed;
Before servicing and cleaning all tools must be disconnected from the power source;
People that are not involved with the work must be kept away from the work;
Never hold the switch button while carrying a plugged-in tool;
Before starting to work, make sure both your hands are free to operate the tool. You can do this by securing your work with clamps or a vice;
Do not wear loose clothing and jewelry that can get caught in moving parts;
Damaged electric tools must be removed and tagged with the words: “Do Not Use”;
Portable tools should never be carried by their cord;
Electric cords must not be used to hoist or lower tools;

Heavy equipment mechanics spend most of their working time with their equipment itself. They handle and control various tools, objects, and mechanical or electrical controls pertaining to that particular machine. They get to touch, feel and operate the machine. They usually have to use their muscles to carry, push or lift various objects or spares. Arms, fingers, wrists, etc., too need to be used to perform tasks while repairing a machine. The job of an equipment mechanic is challenging as well as demanding. It demands a strong physique coupled with an inherent ability with machines.

A typical workday starts with a round in the heavy machine shop, or a site visit, to inspect newly installed heavy machinery. It also comprises of checking and evaluation of machines that have been in use for a long period, and their maintenance. If a heavy equipment mechanic notices problems with the machine, he gets down to solving it. So one must be prepared to get ones hands dirty, or work in awkward positions.

Here are some routine tasks performed by heavy equipment mechanics:

. Carry out routine maintenance checks to ensure that machines work well.

. Operate the equipment to locate any defect.

. Diagnose components that require repair with the help of hand-held devices, meters, and measuring equipment.

. Examine, and repair parts if required, by taking apart equipment.

. Move or lift large equipment or parts by using hoists.

. Carry out the cleaning and oiling of these machines.

. Use gas and electric welders to repair broken parts or frames.

. Once the equipment is repaired, to check for safety and proper operation.

Frequently, heavy equipment mechanics have to travel to project sites or factories at distant places. Sometimes they work outdoors all through the day and night. So they have to get used to various terrain or climatic conditions. These mechanics are also often exposed to hazardous materials or chemicals, and there are chances of mishaps occurring. Hence, they need to take proper precautions and follow the safety instructions of their superiors. Many mechanics specialize in the repairs and maintenance of a specific category, like diesel engines, transmission systems, electrical systems or brakes.

On the relationship front, as the nature of work involves work at sites or machine shops, the chances of social interactions or human contacts are low. Naturally, there are fewer chances to forge new relationships. They usually interact with others just to learn what they need to know to carry out their job; the rest of the time is spent alone at their work. As for the wages, while it may be relatively low when starting out, it becomes more lucrative with time. Also, heavy equipment mechanics must possess the ability to make fast and accurate judgments, which lead to fast decisions. This quality or capability can be developed with experience.

Unlike any other career option, things like unusual working conditions, physical fatigue, lonely working environments, and frequent travel are a part and parcel of a heavy equipment mechanics job. If you are lucky and get to work with a large manufacturer like Caterpillar, you may become a globetrotter. People who are passionate about heavy machinery, their operations and maintenance, and are happy working alone, will find a career as a heavy equipment mechanic interesting and satisfying.

A boat trailer might have a single, double or even triple axle, based on its rated weight capacity. While a small boat trailer sports a guide hoist to haul the boat on to the trailer, bigger models have one- or two-speed mechanical winches. Most frames are made of a welded steel manufacture, which features weather proof paint. Lights and axles are totally submersible for launching.

Powerboats are normally purchased with custom trailers particularly for the boat, right down to the matching paint scheme. A boat trailer might also come with custom chrome wheels, electronic brakes, which work in racing bike with the vehicle’s brakes, and as well the other option accessories.

The “bed” of the boat trailer comprises of one or more sets of “bunks” or as well treated by wood planks covered with tough indoor and outdoor material. The bunks are placed lengthwise on either side of the trailer, biased inward. The hull rests alongside these bunks. A boat trailer could be at times with adjustable bunks, but most have motionless bunks. The shape of the hull decides the necessary placement of the bunks.

The boat trailer joins to a car or truck by way of a locking “coupler” placed at the end of the tow bar. The coupler slides down over the ball catch on the vehicle. When the boat trailer is not been used, the coupler could also be fitted with an optional flat lip coupler lock that would protect the boat trailer from theft by making it not possible to drop the coupler on to a ball hitch.

Before towing a boat, make sure that the winch and coupler both have been locked and the boat is now secured. The electrical harness needs to be connected and all lights needs to work properly. Routinely confirm tire pressure and tread wear. Some boat trailers offer a frame-mounted spare tire. For those that do not, this is an alteration worth considering.

INTRODUCTION

             Employee welfare defines as “efforts to make life worth living for workmen”.  These efforts have their origin either in some statute formed by the state or in some local custom or in collective agreement or in the employer’s own initiative.

To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings. To win over employee’s loyalty and increase their morale. To combat trade unionism and socialist ideas. To build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism. To develop efficiency and productivity among workers. To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits. To earn goodwill and enhance public image. To reduce the threat of further government intervention. To make recruitment more effective (because these benefits add to job appeal).

 Principles of Employee Welfare Service

            Following are generally given as the principles to be followed in setting up a employee welfare service:

The service should satisfy real needs of the workers.  This means that the manager must first determine what the employee’s real needs are with the active participation of workers. The service should such as can be handled by cafeteria approach.  Due to the difference in Sex, age, marital status, number of children, type of job and the income level of employees there are large differences in their choice of a particular benefit.  This is known as the cafeteria approach.  Such an approach individualises the benefit system though it may be difficult to operate and administer. The employer should not assume a benevolent posture. The cost of the service should be calculate and its financing  established on a sound basis. There should be periodical assessment or evaluation of the service and necessary timely on the basis of feedback.

 Types of Employee Welfare Services

¯     Safety Services

Prevention of accidents is an objective which requires o explanation. 

The costs of accidents are enormous in suffering to the injured, in reduction or loss of earnings, in disabilities and incapacities which afflict those involved and in compensation, insurance and legal costs, in lost time, filling in reports and attending to enquiries, and in spoilage of materials, equipment and tools to management.

            Accidents are the consequence of two basic factors:  technical and human.  Technical factors include all engineering deficiencies, related to plant, tools material and general work environment.  Thus, for example, improper lighting, inadequate ventilation, poor machine guarding and careless housekeeping are some hazards which may cause accidents.  Human factors include all unsafe acts on the part of employees.  An unsafe act is usually the result of carelessness.

            Young and new employees, because of their difficulty in adjusting to the work situation and to life in general, also have many more accidents than do old and nature workers.

 The Phenomenon of Accident Proneness.  Some persons believe wrongly in the theory that certain individuals are accident prone, that is , they have some personality trait as opposed to some characteristic of the environment which predisposes them to have more accidents than others in work condition where the risk of hazards is equal to all.

Components of a Safety Service

            Among the many components of a safety service the following have proved effective when applied in combination:

Appointment of safety officer

In big organizations, the appointment of a safety officer to head

the safety department is a must.  In small organizations, the personnel manager may look after the functions of this department.  The head of the safety department, who is usually a staff man, is granted power to inspect the plant for unsafe condition, to promote sound safety practices (through posters an d safety campaigns), to make safety rules, and to report violations to the plant manager.

Support by line management

The head of the safety department, whether enjoying a staff or a

functional position, by himself, cannot make a plan safe. His appointment lulls line management into assuming that all its safety problems have been solved.

Elimination of hazards

Although complete elimation of all hazards is virtually an

impossibility but following steps can be taken to help reduce them:

Job safety analysis

All job procedures and practices should be analysed by

an expert to discover hazards.  he should then suggest changes in their motion patterns, sequence and the like.

Placement

A poorly placed employee is more apt to incur injury

than a properly placed employee.  Employees should be placed on jobs only after carefully estimating and considering the job requirements with those which the individual apparently possesses.

Personal protective equipment

Endless variety of personal safety equipment is available

nowadays which can be used to prevent inju 

Safeguarding machinery

Guards must be securely fixed to all powerdriven

machinery.

Materials handling

Though often ignored, the careless handling of heavy and

inflammable materials is an important source of several injuries and fire.

Hand tools

Minor injuries often result from improperly using a good

tool or using a poorly designed tool.  Therefore, close supervision and instruction should be given to the employees on the proper tool to use an the proper use of the tool.

Safety training, education and publicity

Safety training is concerned with developing safety skills,

whereas safety education is concerned with increasing contest programmes, safety campaigns, suggestion awards, and various audiovisual aids can be considered as different forms of employee education.

Safety inspection

An inspection by a trained individual or a committee to detect

evidence of possible safety hazards (such as poor lighting, slippery floors, unguarded machines, faulty electrical installations, poor work methods and disregard of safety rules) is a very effective device to promote safety.

 Health Services

            The prevention of accident constitutes only on segment of the function of employee maintenance.  Another equally important segment is the employee’s general health, both physical and mental.

            There are two aspects of industrial health services

Preventive Curative, the former consists of pre-employment and periodic medical examination, removal or reduction of health hazards to the maximum extent possible, Surveillance over certain classes of workers such as women, young persons and persons exposed to special risks.

 Counseling Services

            An employee very often comes across problems which have emotional content.  For example, he may be nearing retirement and feeling insecure or he may be getting promotion and feeling hesitant to shoulder increased responsibility or he may be worried due to some family problem.

Employee Welfare in India

            The chapter on the Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution expresses the need for labour welfare thus:

The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic and political, shall inform all the institutions of the national life. The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing: That the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood; That the ownership and control of the material resources are so distributed as to subserve the common good.The State shall make provision for securing just and humane conditions of work and for maternity relief.

 Factories Act, 1948

            The principal Act to provide for various labour welfare measures in India is the Factories Act, 1948.

Hoists and lifts.  These shall be made of good material and strength, thoroughly examined at least once in every six months and suitably protected to prevent any person or thing from being trapped.

 Welfare of Employees

            Chapter V of the factories Act contains provisions about the welfare of employees.  These are as follows:

There shall be separate and adequately screened washing facilities for the use of male and female employees. There shall be suitable places provided for clothing not worn during working hours and for the dying of wet clothing.

The State Government may make rules requiring that in any specified factory employing more than 250 employees a canteen shall be provided and maintained by the occupier for the use of the employee. There shall be provided sufficiently lighted and ventilated lunch room if the number of employees ordinarily employed is more than 150.

 Restrictions in the Factories Act on the employment of young persons:

1.      Prohibition as to employment of children (Section 67)

            The welfare measures financed out of the funds relate to development of medical facilities, housing, supply of drinking water, support for education of dependents and recreation, etc.

Voluntary Benefits

            Benefits are also given voluntarily to workers by some progressive employers.  These include loans for purchasing houses and for educating children, leave travel concession, fair price shops for essential commodities and loans to buy personal conveyance.

Machinery Connected with Employee Welfare Work

1.      Chief inspector of Factories

It is the duty of the Chief inspector of factories (who generally works under the administrative control of the labour commissioner in each state) to ensure enforcement of various provisions of Factories Act i8n respect of safety, heath and welfare of workers.

2.      Central Labour Institute

The institute was set up in Bombay in 1966 to facilitate the proper implementation of the Factories Act, 1948; to provide a centre of information for inspectors, employers, workers and others concerned with the well being of industrial labour and to stimulate interest in the application of the principles of industrial safety, health and welfare.

3.      National Safety Council

The National Safety Council was wet up on 4th March, 1966 in Bombay at the initiative of the Union Ministry of Labour and Rehabilitation, Government of India, as an autonomous national body with the objective of generating developing and sustaining an movement of safety awareness at the national level.

4.      Director General of Mines Safety

The Director General of Mines Safety enforces the Mines Act, 1952.  He inspects electrical installation and machinery provided in the mines and determines the thickness of barriers of 2 adjacent mines in order to prevent spread of fire and danger of inundation.

Appraisal of Welfare Services

One of the main obstacles in the effective enforcement of the welfare provisions of the Factories Act has been the quantitative and qualitative inadequacy of the inspection staff. at present, a labour welfare officer is not able to enforce laws independently because he has to work under the pressure of management. Women workers do not make use of the crèche facilities either because they are dissuaded by the management to bring their children with them or because they have to face transport difficulties.

National Commission on Employee Recommendations

The statutory provisions  on safety are adequate for the time being effective enforcement is the current need. Every fatal accident should thoroughly be enquired into and given wide publicity among workers. Employers should play a more concerted role in safety and accident prevention programme and in arousing safety consciousness. Safety should become a habit with the employers and workers instead of remaining a mere ritual as at present. Unions should take at least as much interest in safety promotion as they take in claims for higher wages.

 SOCIAL SECURITY

            The connotation of the term “Social Security” varies form country to country with different political ideologies.  In socialist countries, the avowed goal is complete protection to every citizen form the cradle to the grave.

            There are some components of Social Security:

Medical care Sickness benefit Unemployment benefit Old-age benefit Employment injury benefit Family benefit Maternity benefit Invalidity benefit and Survivor’s benefit

 Social Securities may be of two types

Social assistance under which the State finances the entire cost of the facilities and benefits provided. Social insurance, under the State organizes the facilities financed by contributions form the workers and employers, with or without a subsidy from the state.

Social Security in India

            At present both types of social security schemes are in vogue in our country.  Among the social assistance schemes are the most important.

            The social insurance method, which has gained much wider acceptance than the social assistance method, consists of the following enactments.

     The workmen’s Compensation Act, 1961.

     The Employee’s State Insurance Act, 1948.

     The employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948.

     The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961.

Employees’ compensation Act, 1923

a. Coverage.  This Act covers all workers employed in factories, mines, plantations, transport undertakings, construction works, railways, ships, circus and other hazardous occupations specified in schedule II of the Act.

The Act empowers the State Government to extend the coverage of the Act by adding any hazardous occupation to the list of such occupations is schedule II.

Administration.  The Act is administered by the State Government which appoints Commissioners for this purpose under sec. 20 of the Act. Benefits.  Under the Act, compensation is payable by the employer to a workman for all personal injuries caused to him by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment which disable him for more than 3 days.

2.      Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948

Other than seasonal factories, run with power and employing 20 or more workers. Administration.  The Act is administered by the ESI corporation, an autonomous body consisting of representatives of the Central and State Governments, employers, employees, medical profession and parliament. Benefits.  The Act, which provides for a system of compulsory insurance, is a landmark in the history of social security legislation in India.Medical Benefit.  An insured person or (where medical benefit bas been extended to his family) a member of his family who requires medical treatment is entitled to receive medical benefit free of charge. Sickness Benefit.  An insured person, when he is sick, is also entitled to get sickness benefit at the standard benefit rate corresponding to his average daily wage. An insured woman is entitled to receive maternity  benefit (which is twice the sickness benefit rate) for all days on which she does not work for remaining during a period of 12 weeks of which not more than 6 weeks shall precede the expected date of confinement. The Act makes a three-fold classification of injuries in the same way as is done in the workmen’s compensation Act. Dependant’s Benefit.  If an insured person meets with an accident in the course of his employment an dies as a result thereof, his dependants, i.e. his widow, legitimate or adopted sons and legitimate unmarried daughters get this benefit.

3.      The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961

Maternity benefit is one of the important benefits provided under the

Employees State Insurance Act, 1948.  Another important legislation in this respect is the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961.  The Act covers only those persons who are not covered by the Employees State Insurance Act.  The Act entitles a woman employee to claim maternity leave from her employer if she has actually worked for a period of at least 160 days in the 12 months immediately proceeding the day of her expected delivery.

The act further provides for the payment of medical bonus of Rs. 250

to the confined woman worker.

The committee on the status of women in India 1974 has, there fore,

recommended the following changes in the Act:

The administration of the fund should follow the pattern already established by the ESIC. For casual labour a minimum of 3 months of service should be considered as qualification service for this benefit. This will provide greater incentive to women workers to participate in trade union activities.

1.      The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

Coverage.  The Act applies to every factory, mine, oilfield, plantation, port and railway company and to every shop or establishment in which 10 or more persons are employed, or were employed, on any day of the preceding 12 months. Administration.  The Act is administered by a controlling authority appointed by the appropriate Government. Benefits.  Under the Act gratuity is payable to an employee on the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years.  The completion of continuous service of five years is, how ever, not necessary where the termination of the employment is due to death or disablementGratuity is payable at the rate of 15 days’ wages based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee for every complete year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.  But the amount of gratuity payable to an employee shall not exceed Rs. 3.5 lakh. Source of Funds.  Under the Act gratuity is payable entirely by the Employer.  For this purpose is required either (i) to obtain insurance with the Life Insurance Corporation, or (ii) to establish a gratuity fund. Thus it is his liability to pay the premium in the first case to make the contribution in the second case.
