SAFETY IS THE MAJOR ASPECT THAT THE pandemic has altered for the lay man as well as for the industry. Every manufacturing company is taking utmost steps to keep its employees safe and the business intact. Underlining his company’s policy in this regard, Farrokh Cooper, Chairman & MD, Cooper Corporation mentions, “The top-down approach about following safety norms sends a clear message to shopfloor people. It helps us in developing ‘safe work culture in the organisation’ and safe work culture improves the morale of employees. Also, safety implementation will help us in increasing productivity, reduce overhead expenses, avoid undue litigations and improve the image of the company as safety comes under best business practices among the top industries.” Informing about the Cummins India’s safety approach
Aditi Sharma, Vice-President Quality, Manufacturing, HSE, NPRO & CSE, Cummins India says, “Our goal within the HSE function is to ensure that every single employee leaves work in the same or better condition. This is duly reflected in the lagging safety indicators, while globally we have reduced our incident rate by more than 50% in last decade even with strong growth trajectory, India ABO has been on the forefront of this – In 2019, we reduced recordable injuries by 25%, lost work day cases dropped by 41% & dangerous occurrence count decreased by 32%. We have an active risk assessment process and with current risk assessments our focus is on two aspects - 1. Continuation+ Acceleration - Culture, Ergonomics & risk management and 2. Development and Deployment - Non-process work and Management of Change (MOC).
