TITLE OF THE STUDY

A study on employee safety and health measures practised at Bescom Bangalore

INTRODUCTION

Employee health and safety in the organization means having workplace free from injury
accidents and hazards. Employee safety refers to protection of workers from the danger of
industrial accidents this is a primarily a management activity which is concerned with
reducing controlling and eliminating hazards from industrial units. Employee safety and
health at the workplace is of the work place organization ensure that employees are exposed
to a risk level which do not affect their physical emotional and mental health also the
organization do not encourage any activity which will disturb the work life of the employees.
Employees are trained appropriately about the work and about all precautionary measures
that will prevent accidents at the work place. Occupational health issues are often given less
attention than occupational safety issues because the former are generally more difficult to
confront.

Work plays a central role in people’s lives since most workers spend at least eight hours a
day in the workplace, whether it is on a plantation, in an office, factory etc. therefore, work
environments should be safe and healthy. Unfortunately, some employers assume little
responsibility don’t even know that they have the moral and often legal responsibility to
protect workers.

ABOUT COMPANY

BESCOM- Bangalore electricity supply company limited is responsible for power


distribution in eight districts of Karnataka (Bangalore urban, Bangalore rural,
chikkaballapura, kolar, davanagere, tumkur, Chitra Durga and ramanagara). BESCOM covers
an area of 41,092 sq. kms. With a population of over 207 lakhs. Bangalore electricity supply
company limited (BESCOM) has taken over the responsibility from KPTCL for the
distribution of electricity in 8 districts and commenced its operations from 1st June 2002.

In the year 1999, Karnataka embarked on a major reform of the power sector. As a first step,
Karnataka electricity board (KEB) was dissolved and in its place, the Karnataka power
transmission corporation limited (KPTCL) was incorporated. This was followed by the
constitution of Karnataka electricity regulatory commission (KERC) in November 1999. In
the next phase of the reform process, the transmission and distribution business managed by
KPTCL were unbundled in June 2002. BESCOM has taken over the responsibility from
KPTCL for the distribution of electricity in 8 districts and commenced its operations from 1 st
June 2002.
