Abstract:

This study explores employee satisfaction with the safety and welfare measures at Madura Steel Industries Private Limited, a heavy manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu. Given the hazardous nature of the steel industry, the research examines how effectively safety standards and welfare provisions are implemented and their impact on employee morale, retention, and productivity. Data was gathered through structured questionnaires distributed across various departments and analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and correlation techniques. Findings indicate general satisfaction with safety practices, particularly in personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness. However, notable gaps exist in welfare services, especially healthcare, wellness initiatives, and recreational facilities. The study highlights the need for transparent, inclusive, and adaptive safety and welfare policies that meet compliance standards and enhance employee well-being and organizational performance. Strategic recommendations are provided to address these gaps and foster a safer, more supportive workplace environment.
