The relationship between occupational risk and labour relations in a tyre manufacturing company

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the “working-interface concept” to determine whether a high risk work environment can influence general labour relations between employees and the employer. “Occupational Risk” was examined for this purpose to determine how an unfit workplace can influence employee productivity and work performance, as part of the employee’s right to a safe -, healthy -, and workable workplace. The relationship between man, machine and environment was investigated to understand how manufacturing and material handling; ergonomics and human resource management interlink.
