Safety First

SUHAS BAXI, MD, SOUTH ASIA, KONECRANES, IS WORKING TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY HIS COMPANY EMPLOYEES, BUT ALSO OTHERS, ARE MAKING SAFETY AT THE WORKPLACE A PRIORITY.

What does Safety Week personally mean to you? 

I think there needs to be realisation of what your company stands for, and, hence, what you stand for. For me, personally, this organisation’s values, and one of the big values, is safety at the workplace, safety of our employees, safety of our people who operate our equipment not only at the workplace but also beyond their workplace.

As a leader, not only do I consider this as a value, but I also believe in it as an inbuilt value. We have been propagating safety within the company for a long period of time. We think, however, that we will truly be able to propagate the culture if we take this even outside the factory premises and it is the reason why for the last two years we have been making Safety Week an event. Health and safety is imbibed.

What are some of the safety measure you have undertaken at your own plant?
