When it comes to accidents, practice makes perfect - safe practices, that is. A number of initiatives have been introduced to cover various aspects of Health and Safety:

Senior leaders of the company practice Visible Felt Leadership (VFL), by making regular safety visits, where they observe employees at work and discuss operational as well as safety issues with them.
Behavior Based Safety (BBS) programs include Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment, helping improve hazard identification and risk awareness, and encouraging employees to take personal responsibility for managing and mitigating risks.
Safety extends beyond the plants. With a renewed focus towards on-ground implementation, ‘Road & Warehouse Safety 2020’ roadmap has been prepared with clear milestones. Vehicle & Traffic Safety has become a focus area in overall safety management. Every driver has been given a Defensive Driving Course (DDC) that comprehensively covers on-road risk assessment. This has been further reinforced with a new company policy called – ‘No DDC, No Load’.
In 2016, the Model Warehouses program was kick-started, with the senior leadership team taking the lead by adopting one warehouse each. So far, over 2500 warehouse workers have been trained and sensitised on safety processes.
Ambuja introduced ‘Safety Heroes’, to acknowledge outstanding contributions by individuals in safety and health activities. Around 200 individuals and 30 teams were named Safety Heroes in 2016.
Other notable programs focus on industrial hygiene sampling, and risk based annual health assessment of all employees.
