SAFETY IS HOW
WE SUCCEED

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.

GOVERNANCE & OVERSIGHT

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.

VISION KNOW HARM

To strengthen systems and processes, the Company has introduced a refreshed approach to occupational safety in FY 2025 - 26. The approach is anchored on two objectives:

  • KNOW HARM focused on understanding hazards and risk management
  • No Harm ensuring prevention of harm to people, assets, and the environment

This framework is based on the principle that awareness alone is insufficient without action to prevent incidents. It aims to build a resilient safety culture that addresses gaps in traditional safety models and strengthens proactive risk management across operations. 

A vision built on three principles:

STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS FOR EHS

  • To strengthen L&T's EHS performance through the implementation of structured models, enhanced analytical tools, and standardised methodologies
  • To align L&T business priorities, improving accountability mechanisms, and refining cultural integration of EHS

Target > Achieve a 20% reduction in Serious Incidents and Fatalities (SIF) Frequency Rate by implementing Vision KNOW HARM in FY2026-27

 

EHS objectives and measuring criteria:

  • Empower staff and labor by strengthening risk prevention
  • Enable all within the organisation through EHS Awareness Improvement
  • Provide Ethical Leadership through Accountable Leadership reflecting culture and mindset

KEY STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

To drive the implementation of strategy, in addition to the existing systems, following interventions have taken place:

  • Back to Basics: A focused campaign to reinforce fundamental safety principles as the foundation of a strong EHS culture, driven through Company-wide programmes during Safety Month across major locations
  • Life Saving Rules (LSRs): Introduction and roll out of 11 non-negotiable Life Saving Rules replacing Golden Safety Rules, supported by standards and monthly awareness campaigns to drive consistent implementation
  • EHS Leaders Workshop: A three-day workshop with EHS leaders across businesses to align on strategy implementation and drive cultural transformation

DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR SAFETY

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.

  • SHEILD is a key platform implemented across businesses, enabling digital Permit to Work issuance, assignment of safety tasks, recording of observations, subcontractor performance evaluation and monitoring of EHS work plans, including training programmes. The platform also supports safety audits and performance analytics
  • VR Training: To enhance training effectiveness, particularly for contractual workers, Virtual Reality (VR) based modules and headsets are deployed for immersive safety training
  • Business specific applications such as ViewEHS and IB4U (Inspect Before Use) have been developed to address operational requirements
  • Advanced features such as GPS-tagged imagery and geofencing are integrated into select applications to capture real-time site conditions and enable access-based controls, improving transparency and compliance
