This system is ready to back up me in my enquiry. As we know no whiz becomes blameless save at least we shag try to become perfect. There is address of issues in every air lading go and everyone wants to resolution these issues. To re bring in the big issue it pass on require lot of investment. But at least we squeeze out resolve the small issues because small issues nigh sentence flop birth to big issues. In this enquiry I am act to find all the small and big issues and station forward to companionship directors just as recommendations. In S chiffonierwell Freight serve in that respect argon lots of small issues which argon ignored and preciselyt joint solve very easily by just understanding and cooperating with all(prenominal) other. Some issues argon big which require wealth of company but as the charabanc of company Mr N besh Nandani guides me permission for this query to find out all the issues regarding Health and Safety in company.

So this research will help Air Freight Services and employees of Air Freight Services to take c atomic number 18 of health and pencil eraser precautions turn working.This research overly helps me to get the experience and alike bring on my good image in front of jitneys and directors of the company. The issues which are considered in this research are small and big issues. Small issues can be upstage by just understanding and cooperation but big issue requires snip and wealth of company. It all depends on the management of Scanwell, how they react for these issues. makeors demand the province for the health and resort in every system of rules.1.1 Background of look The heed system is based on nationally and internationally agreed principles, specify and pauseed to provide the necessary strength, flexibility and appropriate foundation for the victimisation of a sustain adequate to(p) health and sentry go culture throughout the all air committal services.The practical recommendations of the procedures and arrangements with in this research can be used by all those who find a responsibility for managing Health and Safety activities in Air Freight Services. The outcome of this research can be used by Air Freight services as a practical tool to achieving continual improvement of health and recourse performance.While working as a storage warehouse operator in S.F.S police detective found lots of small and big issues of health and asylum which can be easily discharged by just co-operating and understating among employees and management. Researcher wants to avoid the accidents to him and other workers thats why this research is conducted with the help of employees, management and managers permission. 1.2 Importance and Motivation of the StudyEvery person on this earth work only to live the life happily and calmly, if person dies by accident while working then its a big caper of a company who take the work from the employees but not considered their refuge while working. Topic of research or motivation of research endlessly comes from authors desires. As researcher already mentioned that he is working as a ware house operator in Scanwell Freight Services, so while working researcher found lots of issues regarding Health and Safety then researcher discuss some issues with my managers and operational managers as well of organisation and ask them that researcher want to do research on health and rubber teaching for this organisation and they motivate r esearcher by facial expression a very good words We appreciate your idea and we are with you and by finding the issues and solutions for the issues researcher can help my workmates too. Importance of this research is that this research is not only for S.F.S every organisation can take advantage from this research because Health and Safety is a major issue in every organisation.1.3 Objectives To station and investigate the issues which create/ increase the run a gamble of Health and Safety while working in Air freight Services. To find out the solutions for issues of Health and Safety comes while working in Air Freight Service.To critically analyse the factors of health and base hit which drop the put on the line of accidents while working?1.4 Research Question/Hypothesis more employees and managements responsibility towards Health and Safety in Air freight services reduce the risk factor in health and natural rubber in the organisation. Good employee training and induction p rogrammes to reduce the risk factor of Health and arctic in the organisation. Contingent objectning and its managements help to reduce the risk factor of Health and Safety in the organisation1.5 Research QuestionsWhat are the issues of risks of health and gumshoe which come while working in air freight services? What are the factors which reduce the risk of health and safety while working in air freight services?What are recommended strategy of the determine issues which reduce the risk factors while working in air freight services?1.6 Scope of the projectEvery freight services want to improve the health and safety within the organisation. As I am doing this research on Scanwell Freight Services, it will help our organisation to become perfect in Health and Safety. Scope of this research is very wide. This research will help an Air Freight Services to improve the Health and Safety Department and responsibilities of management and employees towards Health and Safety. This researc h also can be used by other organisations to observe the Health and Safety in organisations. When customs investigate the organisation we can show them the new research and removed issues regarding Health and Safety. This thing also improves the organisation image in market and everyone wants to work with this organisation because of telephone in market and name in customs regarding Health and Safety. This research also shows the ways of improving management responsibilities regarding Health and Safety and transmit of discourse with employees.1.7 The outcomes of this project are tin the experience about safety while working in Air Freight Services.Get the cognition how to improve the safety while working under pres positive(predicate) and dead line of descent. Provide the study of responsibilities of employees and management towards Health and Safety. There are keep an eye oning techniques researcher identify from academic literature and will be able to develop research meth odology for this project.1.8 Research fireQualitative research approach will be use for this research based upon attend to formulation interview with close ended and gift ended questions with employees and management. From literature and word of honor on various traditions and approaches to good research, there are 4 strategies considered (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994 Johannessen, 1992). theoretical Research decimal Research Qualitative ResearchParticipatory Research1.9 Research philosophy (Positivism and phenomenology)Easterby- Smith (1999) says that there are three principal(prenominal) reasons why this whole mental exercise regarding the research philosophy you should follow in your research is important It can help you to choose the methods that you will use. Knowledge of research philosophy will enable and assist you to prise different research methods and avoid inappropriate use and unnecessary work by identifying the limitation of particular approaches at an early stage of your study. It may help you to be creative and innovative by either choosing or adapting research methods that are, as yet, outside your experience. In this research positivism and phenomenology philosophy will use. Positivism promotes a more objective interpretation of reality, development hard data from subjects and experiments, while phenomenology is concerned with methods that examine people and their complaisant behaviour (Gill and conjurationson, 1997). 1.10 Research method (Qualitative and vicenary)In this research the Qualitative and Quantitative methods will use but the of import method used is qualitative. In Quantitative research data can collect from case studies, other researches, internet, pie charts, ghant charts and books etc. Means old data on the other run qualitative method studys data collected from face to face interviews, telephonic interviews, questioners etc. Means new data (Best and Khan, 1989 89-90). In this research qualitative approach will use because every freight services have different types of issues and all these issues occurred while working, so only employees and management can find the issues. For collection of data and to find issues of health and safety face to face interviews requires with employees and management which shows that the approach should be qualitative. Qualitative research requires time and money.1.11 Research strategyResearch strategy refers to the general approaches and goals of a research study. The selection of research strategy is usually determined by the build of question you plan to address and kind of say you hope to obtain- in general terms, what you hope to accomplish. Research strategy use in this research is descriptive research strategy. Descriptive strategy means intended to answer question about the current state of individual variables for a specialized group of individuals (Authors Frederick J. Gravetter, Lori-Ann B. Forzano, 2008) e.g. this research is made on health and saf ety of Scanwell freight services and on every single field which require health and safety. 1.12 Primary and secondary data (Qualitative and Qualitative)In this research Primary and petty(a) both research will be done but match to need. Firstly research starts with secondary and then primary will be done like by interviews employees and management.1.13 Sampling Random and systematic consume will use in this research. First employees are selected randomly from different fields and interview will be done and the identified issues put in the system jibe to the precedency.1.14 Data CollectionQualitative and Quantitative data both methods of data collection will use for this research like face to face interview with close ended and open ended questions with employees or other relevant respondents like managers, experts of health and safety. Direct face to face or telephonic interview will be done to collect the selective study from management and employees by using exposure phon e in this way researcher will be able to identify the respondent is the rightfield person and the same person which has been elect as it is the ethics of research and through this researcher will be able to develop the validity and reliability of the research.. 1.15 Data recording pass with flying colors moral thought will be done. All the data will record very safely to avoid leakage. To record data Microsoft social occasion tools will be used. Evidence of data also will be saved and Harvard reference method will be used.1.16 Target groupsFor this research Scanwell Freight Service UK is taken as an example and research will be done on Scanwell Freight Service UK .Health and Safety of employees while working inside Scanwell Freight Service UK will be analyze and analyzed. Main target is employees of Scanwell Freight Service UK.1.17 Resources used for the research psychoanalysisAs I am working as a do in House Operator in Scanwell Freight Services UK, so briny resource will be Sc anwell Freight ServicesShambu HouseAmberley Way, HounslowTW4 6BHMain aim of this research is to improve the health and safety in airfreight services by improving the Management system of health and safety and as researcher working as a Ware House Operator in Scanwell Freight Services (SFS), so I choose this organisation for my research. This organisation is ready to help me in my research. 1.18 Research LimitationFrom my point of view there is no limitation of this research but the issues which I am considering in this research are big issues which require a wealth of the company. But to remove all the small issues of this company it requires no wealth just require the understanding and cooperation of all the employees.If company wants to remove the big issues it also require long time because I am considering some construction issues too in this research. So for construction it requires a time. These issues cannot solve by understating it requires wealth and time.Chapter 2 lit Revi ew2.1 knowledgeableness Literature review is a secondary data. For this research all the secondary data comes from internet and mentor health and safety services which contain all the safety information and responsibilities of management regarding health and safety. In freight services its compulsory for everyone who works with the organisation should know all the information about Health and Safety. This literature review considers all the safety information which is necessary to knows by everyone. Literature review is an examination of scholarly information and research based information on a specific topic. In other words its a review of whats cognise, not suspected or assumed, about a specific subject. Its goal is to create a complete, completed representation of the knowledge and research based theory available on a topic.An integral part of a research process, then, is gaining an understanding what is and isnt known about the reality of a situation, event, or circumstances. One simple definition for the need to work toward that understanding is this if people dont know reality, then how can they develop a research study or a plan to address a problem or concern with any metier? An understanding of reality is essential to avoid creating a plan that addresses fable rather than reality. So, researchers, regardless of academic level or professional position, use appropriate quality literature to accomplish the goals. If it is applied review, it will to survey known information about a topic and help identify information that is not yet known so the best end for action or for further examination of a situation can be made. In other words, filling a gap in the literature isnt the main goal. The main goal is to understand the missing and alert knowledge. The question or questions used should guide that kind of applied knowledge acquisition. If its a simple review, the question will be more general, as will the survey of literature conducted. The question will be one that dedicates an overview of the information provided in numerous sources on the topic being considered. It will also be one that lays groundwork for future research of greater depth. In other word, it will provide insight into areas that will each be reviewable in greater depth in future research.2.2 Literature Review2.2.1 Management Responsibilities towards Health and Safety The main responsibility regarding safety and health is continuously at the highest level of system which is the handler of the organisation, but still the duty is carve up into all the levels according to the inevitably and control.These Responsibilities also includesThe legislative body should stop that the research on Health and Safety will be held at least 2 times in a year. This research will maintain the Health and Safety in the organisation and also employees get the chance to talk about their issues and recommendation. It also increases the faith of employees and customs that inspect the freight services regarding health and safety.The legislative body of all the workers should check that the system for the health and safety moldiness and also maintained regularly according to needs of the health and safety principles. Table for the system should be prepared and always on the get word out board which will help the workers to go for complaints and also helps new workers to maintains health and safety needs. Principles should be developed and communicated all over the organisation. If the system needs improvements or any changes take place it should be communicated all over the management. All the resources which requires for the daily needs for workers always available in organisation, so management have to take care of that. These resources can be safety jackets, safety gloves, safety shoes and safety signs etc. Duties of the workers should be clear explained and make sure that no changes take place in duties unless it will discussed with the top level emplo yees e.g. Fork develop drivers only drives fork lift no others have access to drive the fork lift without permissions from the outrage managers.Training and education will be given to new appoint round before starts work it will reduce the chances of accident.Employee Responsibilities towards Health and SafetyEmployees responsibilities towards health and safety should be must because the duties are given according to experience and qualifications. They have to do their job only because work in air freight services is very d vexationous, only thats why everybody have their own duties e.g. one person whose duty is only off loading the PMCS and BINS from the lorries only do the offloading because one wrong step can take the life out. Forklift connects to the Lories and rollers are picked up PMC which is appx 3 to 4 ton heavy(p) comes with a high speed towards fork lift. If inexperienced person sit on forklift, forklift shakes with the weight and PMC fall downs. It may give bir th to a huge accident which can easily take the life away of the person who picks the roller up and forklift driver too. All the duties should be under section 7 and 8 of the health and safety at work. In Scanwell freight services all the employees have different duties there are 5 drivers, 2 forklift drivers drives only inside building for handling pallets and raking the palletized vegetables, one off loader and 2 person for breaking the PMCS and BINS and floor manager makes the tickets and keep eye on every employee to make sure that all the health and safety precautions to be taken care or not. Others are office staff. One very good thing I like in this organisation is that the director physically comes every night to make sure that no body miss use their duties. He always says precaution and safety first. Employees should have to take care of the following stepsTake responsible care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions. Cooperat e with management to meet the employers ratified duties and work in accordance with company procedures. Not intentionally or recklessly interface with or misuse anything provided in the interest of health, safety or welfare and refrain from actions (or inactivity) which might endanger themselves, or others. adjoin their commitment to health and safety by their behaviour and cooperate in the investigation of accidents and chances.Use all equipments safely, including that provided for their personal protection and report to management any defects in equipments or other danger at once, or as soon as it is safe to do so. Comply with all safety instructions or procedure and not undertaken any tasks that they are not trained for.2.2.3 Health and Safety Organisation Chart commonly the system is same in all the air freight services but some time depends upon the size of the organisation. Scanwell Freight Services merge chart for Health and Safety System2.2.4 Assignment of Individuals F or effective arrangements of health and safety the duties of folks and tasks should be very visibly identifies. For policy reservation director should be delegated and day to day safety issues goes to a line manager or floor manager. Management can develop polices and give recommendation for issues comes in organisation but the last decision is of the directors of the company. If the issues are urgent and small then it can be easily solve on the basis of the mangers and assistance managers. Because managers have the right to spend specific amount of money on the organisation by own. Responsibilities should be divided into two categories General SpecificGeneral ResponsibilitiesAccording to rules and policies the general responsibilities goes to Director Employees Director responsibilities are as followsDirector has to give first priority to safety issues to improve the health and safety or to remove the issues comes regarding health and safety in an organisation Director has to en sure that objectives outline of system of safety and health will be clear and practical by the person who controls it.Director has to ensure that the principles and policies of health and safety should be analyse regularly and changed according to conditions.Director has to ensure that the policies and principles will reach to every person attached to company and also ensure that all the safety hazards will be known by all the employees.Director has to ensure that no resources and substance should be used without having proper hazards and controls. Employees responsibilities are as followsMain responsibility of employees is to always take care of their own safety while working and the others who working with them.Help the system of health and safety by doing their duties in proper manner and according to the procedures of the company.Rash crusade of forklifts should be avoided to avoid accidents because by rash driving of forklift somebody who working in warehouse can be injured a nd even driver of forklift also be injured if accident occur.Behaviour should be cool, anger should be controlled. Use of alcoholic beverage and smoking should be avoided inside the warehouse, alcohol may become cause of anger and smoking inside warehouse may become cause of fire.Employees should not take the job in hand for which they are not trained.Specific ResponsibilitiesSpecific responsibilities will be given to specific persons at specific levels like Director responsibilities is to be check and sign the principles and policies of health and safety. Operational mangers have to check whether all the resources required for work available or not. Floor managers have main duties regarding health and safety because employees are working on floor in front of floor managers. All individuals have to control their responsible areas. Health and Safety responsible employee have to check and control all the safety equipments and make sure that all the standards meant for Health and Safet y controlled and maintained by employees and all the employees working according to tasks assigns. Action should taken Make sure that all the workers know about their tasks and agree to their household tasks. Strengthen the memoranda contained in the principles and rule by different activities.2.2.5 Sign up care for Health and SafetyFor assistance in Health and Safety there are lots of organisations and qualified peoples, they got the certificates for Health and Safety. So every organisation hires certified peoples for Health and Safety or tie ups with organisations work for Health and Safety services. These organisations assist freight services to maintaining the health and safety in organisations. Scanwell Freight services also sign up NewWest Mentor Services for consulting to take guidance and advice regarding Health and Safety. NetWest Mentor services are designed to take care of all the laws of Health and Safety in organisation. It includes premises, tools, machines, safety eq uipments and most important is employees safety while working.2.2.6 Communication of Health and Safety Policies and principles within the organisation So frequently we hear of a segmentation in communication being the cause of Health and Safety incidents, some with devastating consequences. The sad fact is that often these situations could have been easily avoided by implementing simple procedure to improve communications between working parties.An incident at West Coast Traincare in 2004 illustrates only too well the devastating effect of poor communication and the price is paid. The situation arose when employee Mr slash was replacing the bracken pads underneath a set of carriages at hand over in Oxley, Wolverhampton. Two colleagues also working on the train conducting brake tests on the attached locomotive. During the course of testing, one of them released the trains breaking system cause the train to move forward. Mr Birch right hand was subsequently wiped out(p) by one of the carriage wheels, causing injuries that resulted in the amputation of all his fingers and two knuckles. HSE Investigation inspector, Steve Turmer, commented at the time,Very simple steps could have prevented this accident. The staff was not adequately protected and there is lack of communication between the various groups. West Coast Traincare pleaded guilty to breaching section 2(1) of Health and Safety at work etc. Act 1974 in that it did not ensure the safety of persons in its employment or operate under the safe system of work for staff undertaking maintenance activities. The company was fined 13,000 with make up of 3500. Effective Health and Safety is not a just piece of music exercise and companies must refrain from a tick box system of compliance. General communication and awareness exercise can help to ensure that the intentions laid out in Health and Safety policy and financial support procedure are implemented and adhered to. There is no legal urgency to communicat ion in set fashion and it is down to the employee to choose the right method according to the need. However there are a genuine pointers which will improve the impact of any chosen communication method. In other words of poet William Butler Yeats,Think like a quick of scent man but communicate in the language of the people. This is echoed by workplace laws Health and Safety Consultants Bill Scholes who suggests, Understanding your audience is the key to delivering the Health and Safety message and the key to identifying the right mode of communication.John Bartlett says that Appreciating the general concept of the need for good health and safety is very different from understanding how the specifics apply to the dynamic of a particular workspace, Workplace laws Safety and Health Practitioner. Therfore in order to communicate risk management effectively its got to be made relevant and pertinent to the labor.The laws also needs to be interpreted sensible, Chris Streatfeild of Green street BremanThe key principle in communication health and safety is proportionality. It shouldnt go over the top so that were condemning every activity as unsafe. You need to conduct a risk assessment but what u need to do as a result of that needs to be proportionate to the risk identifiedDiana Wright says thatwithin the communication message, employees need to remind that down to them as well. It is essential to promote individual ownership so employees avoid the its not my department altitude all the commonly found within the workplace.A very similar view point is taken by John Bartlett who reminds us, It is important to engender a feeling of responsibility when communicating Health and Safety as this empower peoples. Its not about wrapper employees in cotton wool but giving people the information and confidence to make sensible decisions about how they work.The main types of communication are formal (including health and safety meetings, trainings and newsletters) and informa l (walkabouts, one to one unofficial chats and open forums) the HSE recommends a mix of both. The size and structure of an organization, variegation of roles and geographical location of employees will all have an effect on determining the best communication.
