A roadshow across major industrial belts across India to reinforce safety awareness
Dräger has initiated ‘Mission Suraksha’, a roadshow to reinforce safety awareness across India. ‘Mission Suraksha’ aligns with Dräger’s philosophy of protecting, supporting and saving lives.
As part of the mission, Dräger has designed a truck featuring its safety solutions for key industries including oil & gas, chemical, heavy metals and pharma. ‘Mission Suraksha’ was flagged off from Westin Hotel in Mumbai. The event was reportedly attended by eminent thought leaders from government and corporate businesses. After being flagged off, the next destination for the truck is the safety event, OSH India, 2014, at Bombay Exhibition Center.
The truck would then be showcased at the National Safety Council (NSC) in Belapur. Dräger has partnered with the National Safety Council in this mission to address the safety challenges across the key industrial belts of India.
Speaking at the occasion, Nikil Rao, Country Manager for Dräger in India, said, “I am confident that with ‘Mission Suraksha’ we shall be able to reach out to the remotest parts of India creating awareness about safety. I am delighted at the response that we have received at the launch events. Dräger is very happy to be associated with the National Safety Council in this mission. Through this association we want to reinforce safety practices across India.”
Inaugurating Dräger’s Safety event, VB Sant, Director General, National Safety Council (NSC) mentioned, “Safety is an intrinsic element towards protecting and saving human lives. At NSC our aim is to work collaboratively with stakeholders in building a national movement on safety, health and environment. We are delighted to associate with Dräger in their ‘Mission Suraksha’ as it complements our vision of creating preventive culture through raising awareness and rendering services that can further drive impactful measures in making workplaces safer, healthier and environment friendly.”
In a three phased launch, the Dräger truck plans to tour across India to enable visitors get a first-hand experience of Dräger’s latest innovations in safety technology.
