AKPL launches Suraksha Rath to boost port safety awareness

Adani Krishnapatnam Port Limited (AKPL) has introduced Suraksha Rath, a mobile safety awareness campaign aimed at enhancing training and messaging beyond traditional classroom settings. Directly targeting employees, contractors, and work areas across the port, this initiative seeks to instill a safety-first mindset as a way of life.

AKPL's chief executive officer, Jagdish Patel, highlighted the significance of Suraksha Rath during its launch. He emphasized that safety is not merely a priority but should be ingrained in every aspect of work. The Suraksha Rath will navigate various locations within the port, engaging individuals with safety protocols, rules, and regulations through audio and video visual aids.

Beyond the port premises, the Suraksha Rath will also serve to disseminate essential safety awareness in adjacent communities. By employing interactive demonstrations, audio-visual sessions, practical safety guidance, and engaging activities, the initiative aims to reinforce safe work practices, increase hazard awareness, and foster personal responsibility towards safety.

The Suraksha Rath initiative underscores AKPL's commitment to prioritizing safety in all its operations, ensuring a secure environment for everyone involved.
