National Law Institute University Bhopal:
The National Law Institute University has been successful in instilling a sense of broad perspective along with scholastic and reflexive capabilities bearing in mind larger national and humanitarian goals in its students’ Legal education never received the attention it deserved in this country. It is a paradox that the Constitution ushered in the ideal of the rule of law and adopted the policy of development through the law, but little attention was paid to legal studies. For almost half a century study of law in Indian Universities has been in the doldrums. It was increasingly realised by the professionals and academicians that the system of law teaching was thoroughly inadequate, unimaginative and divorced from the major public issues of the day but attempts to change that have been few and far between.

About The Seminar:
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) focuses primarily on protecting workers in the workplace from accidents, injuries, and exposure to harmful substances. While accidents can happen at any time, the employer must ensure that they take steps to reduce the risk of incidents and maintain a safe working environment. ILO standards on occupational safety and health provide essential tools for governments, employers and workers to establish such practices and ensure maximum safety at work. ILO’s Occupational Safety and Health Management System focuses on the following parameters:
|
1. Policy |
|
4. Evaluation 5. Auditing
|
It’s no secret that all industries have safety hazards of some sort. The most important aspect of a good OSH policy is identifying these hazards and ensuring that employees have the training, safety equipment, and other resources needed to work safely. Failure to implement effective policies and precautions can lead to
injuries, reduced productivity due to the absence or loss of skilled labour, workers’ compensation claims, and other civil and criminal liabilities under various labour laws across the globe.
According to the most recent ILO global estimates, 2.78 million work-related deaths are recorded yearly, of which 2.4 million are related to occupational diseases. In addition to the immense suffering caused for workers and their families, the associated economic costs are colossal for enterprises, countries and the world.
The losses in terms of compensation, lost work days, interrupted production, training and reconversion, and healthcare expenditure represent around 3.94 per cent of the world’s annual GDP. Employers face costly early retirements, loss of skilled staff, absenteeism and high insurance premiums.
