The safety data reflects RIL’s commitment to ensuring a safer work environment for its employees and workers.
The company’s emphasis on maintaining stringent safety standards is evident in the declining numbers.

Overall, the data indicates RIL’s ongoing efforts to create a safer, healthier work environment.
Safety Performance Overview
RIL’s performance for the current financial year (2022-23) reveals significant strides towards a safer work environment. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for employees has slightly decreased to 0.21 from 0.22 in the previous financial year (2021-22).
