Environmental and Health Hazards in Cotton Spinning Industry

ABSTRACT

Spinning industries in India are labor-intensive traditional industries that are crucial in attracting unskilled labor from rural areas. The hazards and risks associated with the spinning sector are severe in comparison to other industries, although they receive less attention. The majority of accidents do not result in legal repercussions. The workers are unaware of the necessity of health and safety procedures since they are illiterate. Also, owing of the difficulties in adopting OHS (occupational health and safety), the management does not place a high priority on promoting it. The spinning industries are involved with a number of safety and health concerns. This article aims to review each of these difficulties in connection to the spinning industries in India along with potential solutions to these challenges.

摘要

印度的纺织业是劳动密集型传统产业,对吸引农村地区的非熟练劳动力至关重要. 与其他行业相比,纺纱行业的危害和风险是严重的,尽管它们受到的关注较少. 大多数事故不会造成法律后果. 工人们没有意识到健康和安全程序的必要性,因为他们是文盲. 此外,由于采用OHS(职业健康和安全)存在困难,管理层没有高度重视推广. 纺纱行业涉及许多安全和健康问题. 本文旨在回顾与印度纺织行业相关的每一个困难,以及应对这些挑战的潜在解决方案.
