Eight safety measures by entrepreneurs;

- Provision of safety clothing such as gloves and safety vests in cases where the employees are engaged in manual work
- Use of safety signs to advise the employees appropriately such as slippery floor, exit only.

- Investing in a medical insurance scheme for all the employees to reduce their burden of medical costs.

- Safety training of all employees to avoid fatal accidents and injuries of employees at the work place.

- Health checkups- The entrepreneur should take a proactive stance on the prevention of lifestyle related disease and work-related illness. He should aim to effectively offer general and specialized health checkups as opportunities for employees to create healthier lifestyle choices, think about the relationship between their health and the workplace, and improve their work environment and way of working.

- Mental healthcare- The entrepreneur should further enhance mental health care by providing internal training for production-line workers through training for production line supervisors, individual services from his own industrial physician and counselors, a mental health counselling desk staffed by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, and counselling.

- No smoking policy-To protect the health of all of our workers, smokers and non-smokers alike, the employer should continually advise employees to stop smoking at their health
