Health & Safety

APEX GROUP is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace across campuses and project sites. It is our endeavor as an organization to ensure that every task, job or assignment is performed in a safe manner. Our safety systems are extended to contractors working at our premises, and we encourage our suppliers to establish safety management at their premises.

The corporate Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy demonstrates our commitment to an accident-free workplace along with the management framework to be deployed across businesses. To stay relevant, the policy is periodically reviewed by the senior management.

Digitalization in EHS - Virtually Safe

Digitalization is extensively used across APEX GROUP’S businesses as a key enabler to improve safety performance. It is used to create e-learning modules at project sites, and devise virtual reality-based training modules. It also plays a key role in designing safety cards for reporting unsafe acts/conditions, incident investigation, safety inspection, improved Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) to reflect changing work methods, EHS suggestion systems; to name a few. A digital walk through a combination of hardware (smart glass) and software solutions are used to observe project progress, safety, quality, workmen welfare and administration from a remote location.

The project sites now use RFID tags to track material entering a site, along with advanced geospatial techniques and Internet of Things. 

Digitalization also empowers engineers by eliminating mundane activities, and helping them focus on progressive and more productive areas.

The most significant of these smart initiatives is the ‘BIM for Safety’ which is transforming the way EHS functions. BIM comprises 3D-models embedded with data and information, and has been an excellent platform to share resources and improve coordination. This path-breaking technology is used to enhance safety at work sites through identification and mitigation of risks, making a paradigm shift in EHS performance.

BIM for Safety was launched with a three-pronged mission to:

-  Reduce incidents through BIM tools

- Empower EHS personnel

- Effectively engage with other project stakeholders to improve safety on a daily basis
