Dr. S. S. Vijayanchali, Dr. E. Arumuga Gandhi

Abstract :

India has a population of over 1 billion, approximately one–thirds of which is working class. Out of more than 2 lakh registered factories around 5000 are classified as chemical industries with more than 5 lakh employees. A wide range of factors in work such as incorrect working methods, environmental hazards, toxic substances can have adverse effects on the human body. Globalization and rapid industrial growth in the last few years has resulted in emergence of occupational health related issues. Therefore, it is a felt need to ing out the real conditions of labourers in factories at which they are working. The present paper examines the plight of employees working in an ordnance factory in terms of their socio–economic status, working conditions, health status, and the possible means for overcoming the issues they faced.
