Abstract

Safety management pillars, which play an important role in the pharmaceutical industry, the various precautions for handling the solvents and chemicals, which are flammable, irritant, corrosive, oxidizer and environmental impact when exposed to the abnormal condition have been presented. In this scenario it is very much important that the appropriate behavioral concepts are followed to get the desired output with the highest safety standards in the occupational environment, which leads to the narrowing down the unsafe acts, conditions and near misses in the working environment. By implementing the safety management pillar, adopting the behavioral based safety concept by the safety leadership team will result in more behavioral based safety (BBS) interactions. All the concepts of the safety implications, which are followed in the pharmaceutical industry is directly related to the subconscious minds, so people are trained in handling the normal and abnormal situation in the pharmaceutical industry, in this regard we have dedicated fire marshals and the emergency response team members to tackle the emergency situation. In order to strengthen the mindset of the individuals we have conducted mock drills, so that highest safety beliefs and values are maintained in the occupational environment. The paper briefly discusses on the practical aspects of the safety in the hazardous chemical industry like pharmaceutical industry, there is very less published combined information regarding safety management pillars, various behavioral aspects leading to the increased belief and values. Further In this paper we have tried to give an qualitative view picture of the how the different elements of the safety management pillars leading to increased safety beliefs and values have been adopted in the working environment.
