At Appaswamy Real Estates, safety is the backbone of everything we do. For us, it’s about ensuring everyone on our team feels secure and supported. That’s why hitting 6 million safe man-hours on the Altezza project and 1.4 million safe man-hours on the Wingfield project is such a proud moment for us. These milestones represent countless lives protected, families reassured, and a commitment that runs deep in every aspect of our work.
These achievements reflect the dedication, hard work, and careful planning that go into keeping our sites safe daily. It’s a collective effort that shows how much we value the people who make our projects possible. Here’s a closer look at how we’re making safety a way of life:
Safety is embedded in every phase of our operations. From the moment a worker steps onto our site, their safety becomes our responsibility. We ensure this through:
Understanding risks and mitigating them is central to our safety strategy. We implement detailed Work Method Statements (WMS) and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) measures, ensuring that every worker is aware of potential hazards and how to handle them. Regular communication and enforcement of these measures ensure consistent adherence.
While adhering to the Tamil Nadu Building and Other Construction Workers Act and related regulations is a baseline, we go beyond compliance to set new benchmarks in safety. With the active support of our management, safety becomes a shared responsibility across all levels.
Emergencies can strike at any time, which is why our Emergency Preparedness Plan is robust and regularly tested. Mock drills covering scenarios such as fires, electrical hazards, natural disasters, and height-related risks keep our teams ready to act swiftly and effectively.
Safety is a dynamic process. Through quarterly site audits, weekly hazard reports, and the investigation of near-misses and first-aid incidents, we continuously refine our practices. Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) are promptly implemented to address any gaps.
We believe that safety is a collective effort. Regular Contractor Safety Committee meetings foster open dialogue, enabling us to address concerns and resolve issues collaboratively. Additionally, our specialized training sessions, including Toolbox Talks, First Aid Training, and Motivational Programs, ensure that every worker feels informed and valued.
Achieving these milestones is not just about numbers; it’s about creating a culture where every worker feels secure, valued, and motivated. A safe work environment enhances productivity, reduces downtime, and builds trust among all stakeholders—from workers to clients. More importantly, it aligns with our core values of integrity, responsibility, and excellence.
As we celebrate these achievements, we remain steadfast in our commitment to safety. The journey doesn’t end here. With each project, we aim to raise the bar even higher, ensuring that safety remains the cornerstone of our operations. Together, we will continue to build not just structures, but a legacy of trust, excellence, and well-being.
Join Us in Building a Safer Tomorrow Safety is a shared responsibility, and we invite you to be a part of our journey. Whether you’re a worker, a contractor, or a client, your safety is our priority. Let’s work together to create environments where everyone thrives.
