In this study the data of safety and health information is analyzed for eighteen states in India basing on latest information for the year 2010.The country wide information helps to compare different states in identifying improvements in safety performance. State and Sector wise data was also analyzed for the year 2010 by using Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution. Results of the analysis are useful to guide framing policies, amendments and decision making to improve safety performance.

Key words:  Analytic hierarchy process, average daily employment, Frequency Rate (FR), Severity Rate (SR), technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution, ,
