A research survey is conducted in a large public electric utility in the State of Kerala, India. A safety survey with 3017 participants is the largest in that electrical utility. The objective of the research is to find out the relationships between personal factors and occupational accidents. Five personal factors and five safety climate factors were identified for the study. Analyzing the data revealed a significant correlation between these factors. Hence, it is clear that personal factors are playing a vital role in accident causation. So, this investigation helps to find out the major factors influencing occupational accidents like job stress, social support and self-esteem.

Renewable energy sources have been the backbone of our energy system during most of human history. It is increasingly becoming accepted that renewable energy has a decisive place in the future energy system and that the "future" may not be very far away, considering not just issues of their uneven distribution over the earth but also their greenhouse gas emissions and the environmental issues. Kerala State electric power scenario and pollutants emission from fossil fuel based plants has investigated in this paper. Reduction of this emission by hydro, solar and other renewable energy sourced power plants was carried out. The analysis shows that the states environmental power generation can be boosted up with the addition of the proposed solar projects. And can be fully solved in future especially by rooftop solar plants.
