Safety Issues in K.P. Metals

K.P. Metals is a leading automotive part manufacturing organisation based out of
Manesar. It deals in manufacturing of automotive spare parts and supplies these parts to
leading automotive organisations in India. There is a dedicated HR/IR department that
takes care of all employee issues including safety issues. The number of accidents at
the work-place of K.P. Metals showed a considerable increase in last 3 months. As a
result there has been an increase not only in the cost but also in the legal suits against
the organisation and also. This baffled management. hired a safety consultant to contain
the increasing number of accidents. The safety consultant conducted organisation wide
study of the safety policy, types of past accidents and also interviewed some of the
employees to understand their perspective on the safety-policy.
After collating the data, the consultant found that the safety policy was drafted in a
standard format and was not in accordance with the nature of job the employees were
doing. The safety policy clearly mentioned that the wet floor should have a signage
board with “Wet floor, Mind your steps” clearly mentioned on it. There was no such
signage board in the work floor. The safety policy also clearly mentioned that no worker
should be allowed to enter the workplace without the helmet even if the worker is not
working on the machine. There were many workers who were working without helmets
on dangerous machines. The safety consultant with help of HR/IR department, project
managers, inputs from the employees drafted a new customised safety policy and used
different inside-marketing tools to communicate the same across organisation. The new
safety policy categorically mentioned the rewards and punishments for not abiding by
the safety norms. It also made the supervisors responsible for any nonadherence to the
safety norms by workers. There was a subsequent decrease in the number of accidents
as soon as the new safety policy was introduced.
Discussion questions:
1. Read the case and discuss what else could be incorporated in the safety policy
to ensure a safe work environment.
2. What were the flaws in the previous safety policy and how the new safety policy
