Abstract: The present invention relates to an occupational safety and livelihood enhancement system for firecracker factory workers, particularly rural workers, including those from Scheduled Caste communities, employed in small and medium manufacturing units near Sivakasi. These workers handle explosive chemical compositions in sheds that lack adequate protection against static discharge, friction ignition, airborne dust, toxic fumes, overcrowding, and poor ergonomics. The result is frequent accidents, chronic respiratory illness, injury-related income loss, and low living standards. The invention provides a modular, low-cost, fully mechanical system that can be installed in existing licensed premises, with no electronic or networked components.
