KARAM Safety Expands Retail Network Amid Ongoing Industrial Fall Hazards in India
KARAM Safety has expanded its retail presence to over 800 stores across India and plans to reach 200,000 hardware and paint shops, aiming to improve access to certified personal protective equipment (PPE) nationwide. Falls from height remain a leading cause of industrial fatalities, with many workers lacking proper safety training and equipment. Safety harnesses, recommended by the Occupational Safety, Health and Work Condition Code 2020, are essential for work above 1.8 meters to prevent such accidents.
