Experiment 8
1.Talk to your colleague working in the factory about the safety standards to be implemented in the factory after the visit of Inspector of Factories

Riyaz: Sorry to bother you Mr.Anand. Anything went wrong in our factory? I could see the visit of Safety inspector the other day.

Anand : Don’t think the other way Mr. Riyaz. It’s just their periodical visit.

Riyaz : Do you have any idea about how the Inspector reviewed our ESM ?

Anand: Yes, of course. I’m preparing the annual ESM report this year. The inspector says, our present ESM is not adequate.

Riyaz: What did he recommend to improve the safety standards?

Anand: He insisted to install Fire detectors with alarm system.

Riyaz: Of course, it’s essential.  What else?

Anand: We are going to set up emergency lifts for our factory.

Riyaz: Why is it necessary?

Anand: it’s mainly for rapid evacuation of incapacitated persons, especially during fire accidents.

Riyaz: Anything else?

Anand: We are planning to conduct a periodical Employers Health Care Camp to say goodbye to occupational diseases.

Riyaz: That sounds a nice safety measure! It’ll surely keep away lungs and skin diseases.

Anand: Yes Mr.Riyaz. Consideration of new fire resistant helmets, shoes, insurance packages and awareness programmes are also in the list to ensure OHS.  I’m sorry, it’s time to meet the manager.  Would you mind if we extend this discussion a little later?

Riyaz: Not at all. Thank you very much Mr.Anand. You've really awakened me.

Anand: It’s my pleasure!

(Note: ESM=Essential Safety Measures, OHS= Occupational Health and Safety)
