Abstract :
Workers are considered as the backbone of any kind of enterprises. For better productivity of enterprises, workers should be provided with several facilities so that they could work with enthusiasm. Present study was planned with the objective to study the physical, safety and security related facilities and miscellaneous facilities provided to the workers of micro, small and medium scale food processing enterprises of Punjab. For the purpose of study, six micro, three small and two medium scale food processing enterprises were selected randomly from the procured list of enterprises. From each type of enterprises 50 respondents were selected randomly making a total of 150 respondents. An interview schedule was developed to note the facilities provided to the respondents by the enterprises. Results revealed that only three forth (72.72 %) of enterprises were having first aid facilities. It was surprised to observe that fire extinguisher was not available in any of the micro scale enterprises which could be a major safety risk and may lead to any miss-happening.
