The government organized a function on this 45th National Safety Day.
On this day, various accolades and awards are distributed in the industry to those managements who have been working in the safest manner throughout the year and have implemented the necessary safety managements in their industries. Along with this, even the workers are awarded, who have played a pivotal role in creating and maintaining an accident-free environment in their respective industries and working stations.

The Labour Minister of Punjab, Chunni Lal Bhagat was present at the occasion and he said that it is important for every industry to grow and develop at the highest pace but it should be done keeping in account, the safety of the workers, they are the most valuable element of any industry. Various industries have now drastically reduced their accident rate and he hopes to make Punjab a zero accident state very soon.

It is a great support for the labours to know that their efforts are being precious and the industries and the government are valuing them. The accidents that take place in an industry can be enormously huge and it is not just about the saving the life and health of labours or the expensive infrastructure and machinery of the industry but to also protect the people living around that place.
As hazardous materials are used in industries, which are sometimes highly flammable, so it can be very dangerous for the people living around, if any such incident takes place in an industry. On this significant day, all the workers and management, who were present at the occasion, pledged to take care of themselves and everyone around them in the industry. They pledged to work with safety.
