Winners: Product Company Chakan in Pune, India
In recognition of: Establishing a proactive safety culture through extensive training programs and by involving its employees in all aspects of safety management.

Their key of the success is participation of its employees in all aspects of managing safety. Even though the operations and its processes are quite complex, the organization has managed to mitigate the risks and reduce the number of injuries to an absolute minimum. This has resulted in a very transparent and mature safety culture where employees take responsibilities when it concerns their own safety.
