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.

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
