📌 Check the pinned comment for the full article link! 🔒 Safety: The Unsung Hero of Manufacturing Growth and Efficiency 🏭 As India’s manufacturing sector flourishes under government initiatives like Make in India and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, one crucial element remains at the heart of sustainable growth—safety. According to Suresh Tanwar, Head of Audit & Consultancy (India) at the British Safety Council, safety is not just about compliance; it's a business strategy that directly impacts productivity, profitability, and long-term growth. 💡 India's manufacturing sector, which contributes nearly 17% to the GDP, is on track for remarkable expansion. However, with this growth comes a rising responsibility: worker safety. While technological advancements and policies are evolving, the grim reality remains—India faces over 48,000 on-the-job deaths annually, and thousands more suffer from long-term health conditions caused by poor working conditions. The gap between safety compliance and practice is still wide, especially in the unorganised sector. 🚨 But here's the game-changer: Safety as a strategic investment. When businesses prioritize safety, the rewards are multifaceted: Increased productivity 🚀 Reduced production delays and medical expenses 💸 Higher employee morale and retention 👩🔧👨🔧 Enhanced reputation and competitiveness 💪 A robust safety culture is built on leadership, employee training, feedback, and ongoing safety programs that evolve with the work environment. Suresh Tanwar emphasizes the importance of creating a culture where everyone takes responsibility for safety, ensuring a resilient and responsible workforce. 👥💬 As India aims to become a global manufacturing leader, the message is clear: Safety is not a barrier to progress—it's what makes sustainable growth possible. 🌏 Let’s continue building safe and thriving workplaces for a brighter future. 🌱 Tagging key Organisations - Tata Group, Make In India, Tata Motors, Tata Chemicals, Johnson & Johnson #SafetyFirst #ManufacturingGrowth #WorkplaceSafety #BusinessStrategy #SustainableGrowth #MakeInIndia #PLI #EmployeeWellbeing #SafetyCulture #HealthAndSafety #ManufacturingExcellence #IndustryLeadership #ProductivityBoost #RiskManagement #WorkerSafety #CorporateResponsibility #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #IndustrialSafety #SafetyTraining #IndianManufacturing

A fantastic day spent at the GXO Logistics, Inc. Driver of the Year 2025 Competition, celebrating their top 1% drivers in the company. The event took place at Telford International Centre and was so well organised by the GXO team. The event hall had many exhibitors, a speakers stand with planned events and the competition event space. Drivers demonstrated their expertise by manoeuvring vehicles around an obstacle course. It was amazing to watch the talents and skill of the drivers.    GXO has been working with the British Safety Council since 2012, and seeing firsthand their continuous commitment to celebrating safety in such a positive space is a real testament to the team. Congratulations to all the drivers.
