Ashok Kumar Bansal

This paper investigated reasons of industrial accidents in Satluj Jal Viduat Naigam Limited (SJVN), Shimla, Himachal Pradesh and alternative ways to resolve them. This study collected information from purposively selected fifty (50) employees with the help of questionnaire. The study was conducted in SJVN Ltd Company which is situated in Shimla (H.P.). From the statistical findings, it may be concluded that emerges that though there are variations in rate of accidents among the respondents across demographic variables- gender, education, experience, yet these are not associated with industrial accidents as the value of chi-square was not statistically significant on statistical scale. It means there is something else beyond these factors which may account for accidents and needs to be probed. It may be suggested that the company need to work much on preventives measures, mitigating various risks and focus on satisfaction of the employees to prevent accidents.
