Abstract
This paper purports to show the dismal performance of workmen safety measures provided to the MCL employees. It provides evidence of the way in which the company is found to hide information related to number of cases of Pneumoconiosis. The increase in trends of many diseases also questions the sustainable standards of health among the employees indulged with mining activities. The present study brings out likely concealment of information by the company. The work conditions are particularly hazardous in an unorganized sector and specific sectors are more prone to particular health and life hazards.
