...Health and Safety Introduction Health and Safety is a discipline with a broad scope involving many specialized fields. In its broadest sense, it should aim at: * the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations; * the prevention among workers of adverse effects on health caused by their working conditions; * the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health; * the placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to physical and mental needs; * the adaptation of work to humans. In other words, Health and Safety encompasses the social, mental and physical well-being of workers, that is the “whole person”. Successful occupational health and safety practice requires the collaboration and participation of both employers and workers in health and safety programmes, and involves the consideration of issues relating to occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology, education, engineering safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc. Occupational health issues are often given less attention than occupational safety issues because the former are generally more difficult to confront. However, when health is addressed, so is safety, because a healthy workplace is by definition also a safe work place.The important point is that issues of both health and safety must be addressed in every workplace. Importance of Health...

...LEGAL ELEMENT West Bengal's Nano Impasse: A Roadblock for Tata The slogans on signs in Singur -- the West Bengal site where Tata Motors plans to manufacture the Nano, its $2,500 small car -- say it all. Most are in Bengali, but the few in English capture the overriding sentiment. "Nano No No," reads one. "Atta not Tata," says another. Atta, which is flour made from whole wheat, refers to the core question of the dispute: Should fertile farmland be requisitioned for industrial purposes? Does food get priority or factories? According to faculty at Wharton and the Indian School of Business, the impasse over the plant in West Bengal threatens to increase the Nano's production costs and could delay its entry into the domestic market. Moreover, they say, it will likely impact investment in the region, as outside companies shy away from antiquated land laws and political disruption. As things stand today, work has been suspended at the Nano plant. Tata has closed shop because, as chairman Ratan Tata told journalists in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta): "I can't bring our managers and their families to West Bengal if they're going to be beaten, if there is going to be violence constantly, if their children are afraid to go to school." Tata has faced trouble ever since it got the go-ahead for the plant on May 18, 2006. Just a week later, there were angry demonstrations by farmers objecting to the "forcible" acquisition of land for the project. The Trinamool Congress, a political party...
