What SEBI asks, verbatim
Describe the measures taken by the entity to ensure a safe and healthy workplace
Describe measures to ensure safe and healthy workplace including policy, organizing, planning and implementation, evaluation and action for improvement.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 116.
In plain English
Explain what the company has done to keep workers safe and healthy, such as policies, plans, and actions. Show how they organize, monitor, and improve those safety measures. The information usually comes from the company’s internal safety and health reports or policies.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer starts with a clear statement of the policy, including its scope, objectives, and the governing body responsible for oversight. It then details the organisational structure, roles, and responsibilities for health and safety, the planning cycle (risk assessment, control implementation, monitoring), and the metrics used to evaluate performance (incident rates, near‑miss reporting, employee training hours). Assurers look for evidence of systematic evaluation and continuous improvement, such as audit results, corrective action plans, and evidence that lessons learned are fed back into policy revisions; a common gap is the omission of documented evidence of employee engagement or the lack of a formal review schedule.
Describes the completeness and granularity an assurer expects. No company figures are named.
