RAIPUR/BHILAI — In a major push toward workplace safety, the Universal Rail Mill (URM) of SAIL-Bhilai Steel Plant has launched “Suraksha Bandhan,” a dedicated initiative aimed at strengthening the safety culture among contract workers.
Inaugurated by Chief General Manager Shri Yogesh Shastri, the program establishes a direct bridge between the workforce and departmental leadership.
Key Objectives
The initiative is designed to move beyond traditional top-down safety protocols by fostering a participatory environment:
-
Direct Dialogue: Providing a structured platform for contract workers to share real-time feedback on operational challenges and safety needs.
-
Inclusive Decision-Making: Management will actively integrate field-level suggestions into safety standards.
-
Zero-Accident Goal: Encouraging collective responsibility and alertness to eliminate workplace mishaps.
A Culture of Self-Safety
During the launch, Shri Yogesh Shastri emphasized that safety should be personal.
-
Priority: He urged workers to view “self-safety” as the highest priority, motivated by the well-being of their families.
-
Frequency: To maintain momentum, “Suraksha Bandhan” sessions will now be conducted twice every week.
Strategic Importance
As the Universal Rail Mill handles critical operations for the Indian Railways, maintaining a “Zero Accident” environment is vital for uninterrupted production. By focusing on the contract workforce—often the most vulnerable segment in heavy industry—SAIL-Bhilai aims to build a more responsive and trust-based working environment.
