Modern hygienic industrial canteen amenity: A change factor for healthy physical work environment of the work force in Indian industrial units

Physical Working environment influences to a greater extent of the health of the workers. Hygienic environment is an important requisite for the maintenance of good health. The term 'hygiene' includes not only the material environment but also personal hygiene. The importance of the personal hygiene should continually be brought home to the industrial workers. The pre-employment interview with the doctor, nurse or welfare officer gives an opportunity for hints on personal hygiene. The main purpose of this study is to study work environment of the workforce and its impact on the employees' hygiene and to know the modern hygienic canteen facility as welfare amenity being provided by selected Indian Industrial Units. The study may help policy makers like management, trade unions and the Indian government to improve the existing state of affairs mainly by emphasizing on the amenities and welfare of the employees in the corporate sectors.
