Reinforcing its commitment to workplace and community well-being, Reliance Jio is observing National Safety Month with a wide range of impactful awareness campaigns and engagement activities across Odisha. The month-long initiative features safety drills, interactive learning sessions, awareness drives, and creative competitions aimed at promoting a strong culture of safety among employees, their families, and the wider public.

The campaign was launched earlier this month in Bhubaneswar by Gaurav Kumar, State Business Head, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, marking the beginning of a comprehensive series of programmes aligned with the theme of the 55th National Safety Month — ‘Engage, Educate and Empower People to Enhance Safety’. The initiative emphasises the importance of proactive safety practices and encourages stakeholders to actively participate in building safer workplaces and communities.

As part of the awareness campaign, a variety of activities have been organised across multiple Jio facilities in the state, highlighting the significance of occupational safety, health awareness, road safety protocols, and the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPEs) at workplaces. Through structured sessions and interactive engagements, participants are being sensitised to safety best practices that can prevent accidents and ensure preparedness in everyday work environments.

In addition to formal awareness sessions, Jio has introduced engaging activities such as painting and poster-making competitions, safety pledge initiatives, quiz contests, and distribution of safety badges. These programmes have witnessed enthusiastic participation from employees and their families, particularly children, helping instill awareness through creative expression and practical learning. Events have been conducted across key cities including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Brahmapur, Rayagada, Bhawanipatna, Keonjhar, Angul, Sambalpur, Rourkela, Baripada, and Bhadrak, ensuring wide outreach across Odisha.

The initiatives are designed not only to educate but also to inspire behavioural change by making safety a shared responsibility. By encouraging involvement at every level, the campaign aims to nurture a proactive safety culture that extends beyond workplaces into homes and communities.

Notably, National Safety Month is spearheaded by the National Safety Council of India, beginning with National Safety Day observed on March 4, which commemorates the Foundation Day of the National Safety Council. Through its extensive awareness efforts, Reliance Jio reiterates its commitment to fostering a culture where safety remains a priority, ensuring the well-being of employees, their families, and society at large.
