SAFETY, HEALTH and ENVIRONMENT MANUAL October 2013 Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Ltd. New Delhi October, 2013 FOREWORD Dedicated Freight Corridor is an ambitious infrastructure project undertaken by Ministry of Railways with an aim to provide clean & environment friendly mode of transportation for bulk & faster goods movement along Golden Quadrilateral and its Diagonals. Safety, Health and Environment Protection is of paramount importance in planning, construction and operation stages of Dedicated Freight Corridor. In DFCCIL, an approved Corporate Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Policy is in place. SHE Policy aims to ensure sustainable development and safe, healthy work environment and pollution free condition. Keeping in view of the SHE Policy, Safety, Health and Environment Manual has been prepared. SHE Manual is a reference document which provides elaborate guidelines on Safety, Occupational Health, Environment Protection and Penalties for not adhering to SHE procedures at DFCC work sites. It is expected that site specific SHE manual based on DFCCIL’s SHE Manual will be developed by the work executors for implementation. SEMU team of DFCCIL deserves congratulations for preparing this useful & practical SHE Manual. I am sure all departments and unit offices of DFCCIL will make good use of the manual. (R. K.
