Larsen & Toubro (L&T), one of India’s leading engineering and construction companies, has always been committed to creating a safe and healthy workplace for its employees.
The conglomerate has been taking this commitment a step further by aiming to become a Zero Harm company. What does this mean for about 50,000 L&T employees, over 2 lakh workmen hustling across 800 plus project sites, 13 manufacturing campuses and multiple offices across 30 countries?
It means that L&T is doing everything possible to prevent accidents and injuries from happening at workplaces. This includes implementing rigorous safety procedures and training programs, constantly monitoring and improving workplace safety standards, as well as harnessing new age technologies for SMART applications. All, L&T work sites are certified under ISO 45001.
S N Subrahmanyan, CEO & MD, L&T shares his thoughts about ensuring Zero Harm at L&T workplaces, “Safety will not take root if it is only top driven; it must be bottom-up too, with the widespread realization that everyone needs to get home safe every single day. Create an attitude of safety, not just procedures. Watch your back and those of your colleagues and co-workers too. Do it right. Do it safely. Do it every time.”
Managing Safety “Top down and Bottom Up”
