The major and minor types of workplace accidents and injuries are studied by various departments over three consecutive study periods. In the year 2021, the study period was from February to July 2021. April to September was the study period in the year 2022. January to September was the study time in the year 2023. Due to the larger study period, major workplace accidents are higher in 2022 and 2021. It was found that the weaving, weaving, preparing, spinning, and batching departments had higher workplace accidents in 2023 compared to 2022 and 2021. The shuttle weaving department has the largest share of major workplace accidents, with a share of 25.2% of the total major workplace injury accidents, followed by the preparing department, which has a share of 22.1% of the total incidence of major accidents in 2023. In cases of major accidents, employees are taken to the ESI hospital and entertained on leave. In minor accidents, people are returned to the workplace after receiving first aid at the company's dispensary. The winding and spinning departments account for the third and fourth largest share of work-place accidents, at 17.8% and 15.7%, respectively. The batching department had a 9.47% share of major workplace accidents in the same study period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
