L&T is committed to providing a safe, healthy and supportive work environment for all persons working at, or impacted by, its operations. This commitment extends across employees, non-permanent employees, contract workers, visitors and communities, with particular focus on EPC project environments where work involves elevated health and safety risks. Health, safety and well-being are integral to operational excellence, risk management and long term value creation, and are embedded across the project lifecycle from design and procurement through execution, commissioning and maintenance.
The EHS Council, chaired by the Deputy Managing Director and convened by the Corporate Head-EHS, functions as the apex governance body for occupational health and safety. The Council provides strategic direction, approves policies and standards, reviews performance and oversees continuous improvement initiatives. EHS performance, material risks, significant incidents and corrective actions are reviewed quarterly by the Executive Committee and the Board, reinforcing leadership accountability and tone from the top.

With a workforce of over 3,75,000 and presence across 600+ locations, consistent implementation of EHS systems and SOPs is inherently complex. To address this, L&T deploys a suite of digital solutions that strengthen our EHS management and reporting.
