F. SAFETY

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.

Safety propaganda to promote safety consciousness among the Public/Passengers is done through, a)
film shows at Stations and outside locations like Pilgrim centers, Melas/Jatras, b) display of posters at
villages and at stations, c) Display of banners, Hoardings at Stations and LCs and d) distribution of
pamphlets at MLCs, villages nearby and at Toll gates on the highway.
