We believe safety in the outside realm can only be complete with a sense of inner security and well-being. Through OSH Chennai and SAFE South India, we have provided opportunities to safety & health suppliers and service providers from across the world to showcase their innovations and knowledge in a vastly untapped Indian and South Indian market. This will help promote a robust culture of safety and security, direly needed in today’s world”.
