Safety Goal: Zero Injuries and Losses in the work undertaken by L&T

Objective: The objective of this program is to ensure effective control of Injuries and Losses in Construction work undertaken by L&T, E&C Division. It describes the plans and essential procedures for the protection of men, and properties in Construction Work.

The Construction Industry functions in a dynamically changing work environment in which updating of equipment and standards is a continuous process resulting from changes in operating variables, regulatory requirements, and Safety Practices.

The Program is designed to assist all those who deal with safety program as a functional responsibility within context of their Job. Good Loss Prevention is an integral part of good Project Management.

Loss Prevention should be encouraged by example, knowledge, skills, overall attitude, and involvement in the total Safety Program.

All L&T, E&C Division and Subcontractor personnel involved in Construction activities, whether Management or Line employees, need to understand and follow the provisions in this Procedure.

Thrust Areas for Safety: Each one has the RESPONSIBILITY AT ALL LEVELS in management to enforce

standards of loss prevention within their department of project. Continuous EDUCATION, TRAINING & MONITORING. Establish and comply with Safety Regulations Take precautionary measure BEFORE an accident occurs. Create HAZARD FREE & CLEAN ENVIRONMENT. SAFETY PROMOTION through recognition of Safety Performance.
