Safety is the paramount responsibility of each and every Railway employee. Individual executive
and technical departments look after and are accountable for safety within their own
departments.
The Safety department assists the management in monitoring the implementation of safety
measures on the Railways and in developing strategies to improve the safety record.

Safety consciousness amongst Railway employee is promoted through man-to-man counseling,
safety circulars, safety seminars and safety drives.

through, a) Display of banners, Hoardings at Stations and LCs b) display of posters at villages
and at stations, c) film shows at Stations and outside locations like Pilgrim centers, Melas/Jatras
and d) distribution of pamphlets at MLCs, villages nearby and at Toll gates on the highway.
