Infosys recognizes and accords the highest priority to safety and wellbeing of its employees and other relevant interested parties. The Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Management System at Infosys termed ‘Ozone’ is certified to ISO 45001;2018 Our HSE policy enunciates our philosophy and commitment towards management of key HSE aspects and drives our efforts in this area globally. Our stakeholders include investors, clients, employees, contract staff, suppliers, the government/regulators and the community, amongst others.
Risk assessment
Risk assessment is proactively conducted to identify hazards for all existing / new / modified activities, process, products or services and the implementation of measures to minimize or control impacts, and monitor them in a structured manner. Risk assessment is proactively conducted on a yearly basis or at the beginning of a new process or activity. Reactive risk assessments are also carried out at least once every quarter based on incidents that have occurred during the period. Hazardous conditions present are identified and prioritized for elimination and control.
Incident management
Incidents which include near misses / potential hazards / accidents are reported through internal applications, supervisors or mails. Root causes of incidents are identified, analyzed and appropriate corrective actions are taken to avoid recurrence or occurrence of incidents leading to injuries / losses.
Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) committees
Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) committees are established at each of our campuses and offices comprising of cross‑functional teams. The Development Center Head chair safety committee meetings at their respective locations in India. In our overseas offices these committees are formed based on the local legislations. The representation of employees in safety committees is 100%.
Training and awareness
Embedding HSE culture in the organization necessitates competency development. Training needs are identified based on the nature of jobs, which may have a significant impact on the environment or may pose occupational health and safety risks.
Training includes awareness-building, mock drills, classroom sessions and periodic demonstrations. HSEMS training is also a part of our employee induction programs. Job-specific and generic trainings are conducted for contractual staff during induction and later through refresher training
