Pillar 3: Transforming the workplace

Aim 7: Prioritizing safety and health of all employees

Health and safety is our top priority, and we believe all fatalities, injuries and occupational hazards are preventable. Through strong safety leadership, we can create and maintain safe workplaces for all our people. Our safety culture empowers every individual to take responsibility for their own safety as well as for the safety of their colleagues and the communities in which they work. We at Vedanta believe that safety is a value that is paramount and in line with our safety related ethos, initiatives like right to refuse, driver management center etc. have been undertaken keeping in mind the needs & necessity of all workers.

We routinely assess our safety performance–by benchmarking our practices with peers, with an eye to build a best-in-class safe workplace for our employees and contract workers.
