Mr Ram Bhagirathibai Digambarrao Dahiphale, Additional Director, Directorate of Industrial Safety & Health, Government of Maharashtra, said "Safety is an essential part of human life, extending from the workplace to the home, and is integral to ensuring well-being in every environment. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has evolved with the times, incorporating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence to provide advanced protection. However, the fundamental need for the right PPE for the right person at the right job remains critical. In today's industrial landscape, ensuring the safety of all workers, including those employed through contractors, is paramount. Investing in the implementation of comprehensive safety measures and proper PPE is far more cost-effective than addressing the aftermath of accidents.

OSH India plays a vital role in spreading awareness, fostering innovation, and inspiring action toward achieving the ultimate goal of zero accidents in industries. It is a collective effort where every individual's contribution matters to create a safer, more sustainable future."
