Investigation of environment, health and safety
problem in leather industries has been carried. A working method has been
developed to carry out this investigation based on work environment theory,
local theory and theory about implementation processes and public regulations.
According to the working method the factory was physically investigated. The
management and workers of different location were interviewed who are working
with leather industries. After investigation it was found that the investigated
industry has some work related problem like high noise level, wastewater
problem, chemical exposure and extraction of ground water. It was notices that
the workers and management were afraid about fire in the work places. Besides
this health and safety problems the workers complaints about low wages, abuse of
labor rights and uncertainty of the job as well. It was observed that the health
and safety condition of a factory depends not only on internal factors like
workers behavior, management behavior and economical situation of the factory
but also on the internal factors like work environment regulation, practical
condition of enforcement of the work environment regulation and socioeconomic
situation of the country. |
