Operation of lifting machineries used in steel plant for material handling is associated with a large number of hazards that can be reduced by safety inspection checklist, questionnaire study and other low-cost solutions. The relationship amongst work injuries and demographic variables like age, experience of crane operators in a steel plant is a critical parameter to assess the risk associated with this operation. This work focuses on measurement of relationship of work injuries with demographic variables, using self-reported injury experiences through Safety inspection checklist where ergonomically and psychological aspects of worker and operator conditions has been considered and job related risk using ‘job safety’ questionnaire as well as actual safety performance has been touched upon.
