Abstract: Workers are the most significant resources for an
association as they contribute the most towards the
accomplishment of an association which relies upon the basic
abilities of its human capital that pays to the occupational safety
and health of employees in the work environment. The present
study is led with the objective to highlight occupational safety and
health actions for the employees and their satisfaction level
accompanied occupational health and safety services provided by
the chosen pharmaceutical organizations. It additionally
highlighted the awareness and training program undertaken by
the organizations. The analysis of the current study has been done
by suitable mathematical and statistical tools consisting of
percentage analysis, mean (average), standard deviation, and
correlation and regression analysis depending upon the objectives
of the study. The outcomes demonstrated that the representatives
of both organizations are genuinely happy with the continuous
training program on risk of health and safety of workers. With
regard to health and safety at work, the chosen pharmaceutical
companies offer their employees with numerous facilities.
Likewise, the fulfillment level of the employees by means of these
measures is high, which is a decent picture of a balanced
relationship between the management and the employees.
Keywords : Pharmaceutical organizations, Human Capital,

I. INTRODUCTION
Health and safety at work are one among the foremost vital
aspects of human concern. It aims to adapt the operating
atmosphere to employees for the upliftment and prolongation
of the very best level of mental, physical and social wellbeing
of employees. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) or
Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) are two localities
involved with the security, health, and well-being of
individuals involved in work. Safety and health programs at
work embrace making a secure and healthy work atmosphere.
As per the definition of the World Health Organization
(WHO), “occupational health deals with all aspects of health
and safety at the workplace and places a powerful stress on
primary hindrance of risks”. Health has been explicated as "a
condition of complete physical, mental and social prosperity

and isn't merely the non-existence of un-wellness or
infirmity". The research study identified health risks and
outlined awareness of work-related health risks for
pharmaceutical workers. This included evaluating health risks
for workers, assessing health risks for workers and possible
control to prevent and mitigate the impact of hazards on
workers' health and well-being. General health risks within
the pharmaceutical business embrace exposure to dirt and
noise, repetitive motion disorders, methanol exposure, and
ultraviolet illumination exposure.
A. Objective of the Study
The main aim of this study is to have a comparative study of
employee satisfaction level with respect to the occupational
health and safety measures in pharmaceutical industries.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
A literature search is a fundamental section of the complete
research procedure and makes an important contribution to
nearly every operational step. Cooper and Phillips (2004)
analyzed the importance of knowledge and understanding of
the link and contact between work and health in the exercise
of health and safety at work. The working environment and
working conditions can have a positive or negative impact on
the safety and health of employees. Workers' health can also
affect their routine and performance, depending on
environmental factors and the nature of industrial
organization and policies. Poor health affected workers'
productivity and productivity. Haldiya et al. (2005) have
shown that it is important to have good safety precautions for
salt production, as salt production involves several stages and
the entire process is work-oriented. The masks must be of
higher quality and handy handling, the filter need to be
expanded and forestall the terrible scent of plastic and fabric,
the glasses ought to be of desirable exceptional at low cost.
Workers should be aware of the results on their physical and
mental health when working in the salt industry, so that they
can follow the protection measures to accurately guard
themselves from hazardous diseases. Karkoszka and
Szewieczek (2007) concluded that the implementation of the
occupational safety coverage primarily based on the
assessment of the OSH danger leads to an enhancement of the
analyzed procedures via the prevention measures and for that
reason to a discount of the OSH risk to an suited level. The
draftsman concluded that all measures taken in the
corporation ought to be systematized to ensure secure and
hygienic working conditions for employees and to facilitate
this thru the introduction of the OSH administration system.
