Announcing OSH India 2024, Mr Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India, emphasized the critical importance of occupational safety and health (OSH) in a rapidly growing economy like India. “As the world’s largest democracy with over 1.4 billion people, and 64% of its population in the working-age group, India has immense growth potential. However, the unorganized sector and MSMEs face unique challenges in workplace safety. The government’s renewed focus on the National Policy on Safety, Health, and Environment at the Workplace, backed by collaborative efforts, marks a positive step forward,” he said.
Highlighting the event’s significance, Mr. Mudras added, “OSH India 2024 offers a vital platform to unite industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders to address critical safety challenges. Through innovation showcases, training, and nationwide awareness, the expo aims to uplift workplace safety, health, and environmental standards, fostering better work environments and lives for millions. It underscores the collective responsibility to enhance safety, especially in high-risk sectors.”
