Analysing the influence of non-reported pain and risk experienced by employees in the textile industry

Abstract

One of the major aspects that decide the success of any industry is the competence and condition of its workers. When we think of the textile industry, we do not imagine the workers being hard at work, as we are inclined to do when we think of workers in automobile industries. Yet the reality is that the workers in textile industries work really hard, so hard in fact that if you analyze the type of work done in the different departments, you could easily deduce the fact that pain of a low intensity is experienced by the workers. However, because of the low intensity of the pain, it is not reported. The problem is that this pain builds up over time and evolves into major physiological problems in the future. Yet, these pains could be avoided or at the very least reduced. The problems have to do with the way the work is being done in that particular company or inherent flaws in the way the company is done or lack of education, etc. solving these problems might really help the mental and physical health of the workers. This is the motivation that drives this paper.
