Godrej & Boyce, the material handling division of the Godrej Enterprises Group, has implemented several initiatives aimed at improving workplace safety and efficiency in warehouse operations. These efforts focus on both technological innovation and extensive skill development.
Recognising the significant role material handling plays in manufacturing and its associated risks, Godrej & Boyce introduced new safety features such as the Seat Belt Interlock System, Safety Lights, Operator Presence Sensors, and Smart Curve Control Technology, which reduces vehicle speed by 30% during turns. An Anti-Rollback System has also been added to prevent incidents on inclines.
In addition to equipment upgrades, the company has prioritised safety training, having trained over 3,500 forklift operators across India. By FY25, it aims to train 300 more operators, including women and transgender individuals, promoting inclusivity in the workforce.
