​Siemens India, in collaboration with TÜV Rheinland India, have set up the Global Skill Center for Occupational Safety in Mumbai, India to provide practical training on the latest safety equipment and techniques. This is the first step towards the "Zero Harm Culture" that enables individuals to work responsibly and run projects without accidents. The center will conduct certified training courses that develop "Safety Leaders" in the project-based businesses and industries. The certification program is meant for occupational safety practitioners, project/site managers, construction managers, site supervisors/engineers, and safety marshals. This will set a benchmark in the field of safety in India.

The center's flagship program – SITRUST™ (Siemens & TÜV Rheinland Unique Safety Training) – is a 3-day program that includes extensive practical training using a simulated construction site environment. The course provides experiential learning of hazard and risk identification, safety planning, risk mitigation, and implementation of controls. The unique feature of the practical training program is the concept of Story Boards – a case study-based learning on safety management at the workplace.  In addition, the training modules also include specialized training based on real-life scenarios of project or construction sites, such as electrical safety, fire safety, and working at high altitudes.

Thomas Fuhrmann, CEO & Managing Director, TÜV Rheinland South Asia, said that Siemens has a deep commitment to improving the safety of construction/project sites in India; as the training partner, TÜV Rheinland will bring global training expertise to ensure the highest standards of health and safety are taught to participants.
