INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE AND RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY
INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE is committed to ensuring that SAFETY in training is the prime consideration in any program conducted. We believe that the responsibilities for safety should be clearly defined in the INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE AND RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY ,which acknowledges that people is the most important resource who must be protected in our program, against the risk of injury and fatal accident. As such, every resource is made available to ensure the safety and risk management objectives are achieved.
The policy shall be communicated, implemented, maintained and audited at all levels of the organisation. Periodical reviews and audits are incorporated in the policy and amended when necessary.
This policy is ratified by Founder of INDAIN ATV SAFETY INSTITUTE.
The INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE Safety and Risk Management Policy is simple, straight forward and is designed to enhance responsibility and ownership through effective delegation of roles. The roles of members of the INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE staff are designated keeping in mind each member’s functional responsibility and natural competence in handling issues of emergency and safety.
Remember SAFETY IS AN AWARENESS OF DANGER. This attitude needs to be ingrained in your mind, and underpin everything you do at INDIAN SAFETY INSTITUTE!
Safety first, Safety last and safety in between.
