Reinforcing its unwavering commitment to workplace safety and collective responsibility, Aditya Aluminium, Lapanga, a unit of Hindalco Industries Limited (HIL), successfully organized a high-impact motivational program titled “Suraksha Sankalp – Building a Culture of Care and Commitment” at its Expansion Project premises.

The initiative marked a significant step toward deepening safety consciousness across all levels of the organization, with a sharp focus on shop-floor practices and behaviour-based safety.

The program was graced by the esteemed presence of Umakanta Samantray, Assistant Director – Factories & Boilers, along with J.P. Nayak, Unit Head, and Kamal Kant Pandey, Project Head. Senior leaders including Eswar Rao, Abhay Mishra, Deepak Dash, Prabira Pujari, Kuntal Das and Ravi Pratap Singh, besides representatives from HIL and its business partners, also attended the event.

Participation in the program was overwhelming, with more than 500 attendees comprising senior leadership, middle management, engineers, supervisors and workmen from both HIL and contractor organisations. The enthusiastic turnout reflected the growing collective resolve to embed safety as a core value rather than a mere compliance requirement.

The event featured a series of engaging and thought-provoking sessions including incident learning discussions, workmen speeches, a safety quiz and a safety skit, all designed to create awareness through real-life experiences and interactive learning. These activities emphasized strict adherence to safety guidelines, the importance of peer-to-peer correction and the need to empower every individual to take ownership of safety at the workplace.

Addressing the gathering, the Assistant Director (Factories & Boilers) highlighted the critical role of implementing industrial safety regulations to prevent accidents and near-miss incidents. His practical insights and field-based examples were well received by the audience, prompting the HIL management to seek his continued guidance in future safety initiatives.

Both the Unit Head and the Project Head reinforced the importance of behaviour-based safety, sharing practical examples from operations to inspire consistent safe practices.

To recognize and encourage exemplary efforts, more than 60 employees and associates were felicitated for their significant contributions in implementing and promoting safety standards at the site.

The program concluded on a high note, reaffirming Aditya Aluminium’s steadfast commitment to building a robust safety culture, operational excellence and a workplace where care and commitment go hand in hand.
