The injuries of workers in sugar mills resulted due to
lack of safety measures, no proper training and
education program. Most of the machines were not
provided with the safety covers to the rotating machine
parts which was one of the cause of injuries. Excessive
noise and vibration of machines parts, poor ventilation
and lighting during working hours had adverse effects
on workers health. Tests have shown that the quality of
drinking water was not of good quality. Leakage of
different lubricant on the workplace of the workers
causes the frequent slippery problems. In most of the
mills, there was no first aid facility. No preventive
maintenance staff was deputed at the sensitive sections
of sugar mills. In sugar mills of Pakistan, workers
injuries can be reduced by adopting the basic safety
measures and modifications in the existing design
according the ergonomics and occupational health
standards.
