Thank you, Ramesh, for drawing attention to the community in this industry. How can we add data and some real stories? The need of the hour is to work with a community that can bring change. Knowledge that cannot change the situation has no meaning.
Let Cite HR members in one particular city get to know each other and spare at least one hour a week (or 4 hours at a stretch in a month) to work on grassroots initiatives. Let our knowledge help reduce the sufferings of the people who serve us. How many of us visit restaurants in our city? Get some real stories of accidents that can be used as case studies. If Kejriwal can start India Against Corruption, why can't we start India Against workplace accidents?

I am so glad that after Ramesh Bhardwaj's post and subsequent responses, Raghu inspired Dipil to initiate a new thread. Dipil immediately acted upon and introduced the thread. We all are concerned about the working people in hotels and restaurant workers in this thread.
Safety and Health of Workers
Safety and health of workers can be ensured by:
1. Workers themselves, to some extent, though there are limitations. They can be trained and made aware of what needs to be done through pamphlets, etc. (formal and informal methods and routes).
2. Owners, who have a major responsibility. They may also be approached by civil society groups offering them technical help as needed.
3. The government also has a responsibility by drafting policy, collecting data, publishing and analyzing it for further refinement of policy or laws, enacting laws, enforcing them, prosecuting violators, and creating a conducive social environment.
We currently have no law providing legal protection for hotel and restaurant workers' safety and health at work. Even without a law, workers can be protected, but if a law is in place, it becomes mandatory and makes a significant difference.
For any campaign, we would need some good case studies to start with, and I invite everyone to share their experiences.
