We extend our safety responsibility to our communities and engage with them regularly to impart knowledge on the importance of safety. We undertook various activities and initiatives throughout the reporting period to engage with them and educate them about the various safety measures.
Extending this initiative to schools, 20 workshops were conducted for students where over 200 students took the pledge to exercise safety in their daily lives. The workshops have so far touched the lives of 2,500 contract and regular employees, school children and families.
Be Safe - Outreach Through Radio
With the aim to promote safety beyond our boundaries and among the citizens of Rajasthan, a new initiative "Be Safe - Surakshit Rahiye" was launched in association with All India Radio (Rajasthan) through 19 radio stations. This 5-minute programme, with the message of safety for themselves and their families, is broadcast daily by AIR and reaches the masses in urban and rural Rajasthan. 100 programmes with numerous promos have been broadcast reaching out to almost 100% of radio listeners. Getting associated with AIR has enabled to drive this wave of safety awareness on a larger scale.
Safety Drives for Community
Safety is of prime importance at HZL. Hence, to extend this practice and inculcate it in the society, safety drives were organised in the communities we operate in from time to time. A mega safety awareness drive was organised by RTO Rajsamand in collaboration with Rajasthan Transport Department, District Administration Rajsamand and Police Department. HZL supported the programme by providing 100 helmets distributed to college girls by the Education Minister of Rajasthan. More than 500 school students, teachers, district government officials, including the Collector and SP of Rajsamand, were present at the programme.
Taking forward the guidance from our CEO and our combined vision of achieving Zero Harm in HZL, we started a new initiative in May 2018 - Be Safe Zindagi. As part of this initiative one true story of the employees, including the senior management and their families is being presented that talks about their personal experiences on road, industrial and personal safety. This is an effort to make all employees understand that it is not necessary to pass through a process of incidents to learn the essence of safety. Rather, we can, and we should draw lessons from others' experiences.
