Enormous effort is put into researching & marketing “The Perfect Potato Crisp”, while research into stress at work, for example, is ignored.
How important are the staff working conditions? Should employers research and improve the working condition of their staff or should they concentrate more on their product?
-----------------------------
The staff is the human resource that is the most precious asset for any company; and safe working conditions are most important. Hence companies must not only concentrate on to the production but also on to improving working conditions for the staff.
Production of perfect potato crisp is the job involved in a food industry. A major difficulty in food industry producing potato crisp can be good housekeeping. Stale and spoiled raw material must be disposed off promptly. Bad housekeeping attracts cockroaches, rats, and mosquitoes etc. This results into health hazards for the workers. It can also cause accidents by way of workers slipping on floors thereby causing injury or fractures.
Three main resources for any industry are “Man, Money & Material”. Men are most precious asset. Hence utmost care must be exercised for the safety of the workers, otherwise production shall be paralyzed. With the time, working conditions change, and it is essential for the management to continue research and improve working conditions from time to time.
I know of giant Oil Company of India that is highly Safety oriented. The company has a wonderful Fire & Safety Department fully equipped to combat any big fire. This company keeps researching on Fire & Safety practices and it is recipient of numerous International Safety Awards. It has fully equipped Medical Department for the medical help to the workers and their dependents. This company provides safest working conditions to the employees. The company is high profit making company that is listed in international magazine “FORTUNE-500”.
In conclusion safety is most important hence companies must research into the area of safety and improve it. Absence of safe working conditions can cause accidents and health hazards to workers thereby paralyzing the work and cause production losses.
