Recommendations
Having less safety devices for the workers like shoe and
cloths, extensive over duty of workers, luck of cleanliness of
the shop and poor safety planning are basic problems that I
observed in the company. So I would like to recommend the
company to create safe working environment in the
production shops by doing the following things:
 Effective planning for safety such as providing adequate
ventilation, sufficient working area to the operator, clear
pathways for movement of materials and parts
 The company should providing both enough “safety first”
knowledge and safety materials for the workers.
 The company should create clean and attractive work
place for better production of products and should give
shift duties for workers to overcome extensive over duty
of workers.
