Siemens and TUV set up training centre for occupational safety in Mumbai

 
The training centre has been specifically designed by Siemens and TUV Rheinland to provide practical training on the latest safety equipment and techniques and thus taking the first step towards the ‘Zero Harm Culture’ that enables individuals to work responsibly and run projects without accidents. The centre will conduct certified training courses that develop ‘safety leaders’ in the project-based businesses and industries.
 
“The global skill centre for occupational safety is a critical milestone in Siemens’ journey of driving a culture of Zero Harm in the industry. The training centre is designed to meet the requirements of the industry for high-quality training on site safety measures. We hope to be the catalysts of a transformation in the approach toward safety and support the industry’s efforts to maintain a Zero Harm Culture at project sites and manufacturing units,” said Sunil Mathur, managing director and chief executive officer, Siemens Limited.

 
The flagship program of the centre - SITRUST or Siemens & TUV Rheinland Unique Safety Training - is a 3-day program that includes extensive practical training using a simulated construction site environment. The course provides an experiential learning of hazard and risk identification, safety planning, risk mitigation and implementation of controls. The training modules also include specialised training based on real-life scenarios of an operational nature in project or construction sites, such as electrical safety, fire safety and working at height.
