Abstract
The core area of this paper is to know and understand the safety issues of the people working in an organization (Radhika, 2020). The aspect of safety directly affects our health and routine. Organizations today are very dynamic and continuously change their policies based on the requirements of people. Workplace safety is one of the sectors which should be concentrated in every organization. This study can help to remove some of the unfair practices as well as add some new policies to the organization's culture.It is a fact that, when employees feel safe and comfortable, then there can be more productivity and the duties can be performed in a perfectly organized manner. So, in the organization, if the employees feel difficulty, it is necessary to take measures for their safety. Safety measures depend on how large the company is, and the nature and type of business it operates. With proper and respectful communication, people will feel happy and there will be zeal to work harder.Therefore, safety policies should be implemented and monitored on regular basis. The goal of these policies should be to eliminate the hazardous elements which disturb the peaceful working culture of the company and help it in its development as well as in growth. Overall, it should create a positive and safe atmosphere for all individuals. Individual personalities are also analyzed as their perception of the respective company (Clarke and Robertson (2005, 371)).
