In its 65th year, the International Safety Awards recognise and celebrate organisations from around the world which have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health during the previous calendar year. The awards also acknowledge organisations that have shown commitment to well-being and mental health at work.

The awards will be presented in the month of May in Mumbai. Mike Robinson, chief executive of the British Safety Council, congratulated NTPC Khargone on their success in winning the award. “The British Safety Council applauds NTPC Khargone on their achievement. The award is in recognition of their commitment and hard work to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health. The vision of the British Safety Council is that no one should be injured or made ill through their work – anywhere in the world. Achieving this requires more than complying with legislation; it means people committed not only to health and safety but also more and more to workplace well-being and impelling others to follow suit.
Our heartfelt congratulations to NTPC Khargone. All of those working at NTPC Khargone should be enormously proud of their achievement.”
