“Bilal initiated a powerful hand safety campaign, ‘BOLTAY HAATH’ in July 2015. The campaign was comprised of:

 Awareness sessions.
Modified jobs.
Introduced new types of hand protection gloves. Previously there were only 7 types of gloves. Now we have 14 types.
Developed a standardized matrix of gloves.
Gloves have been declared mandatory PPE.

The campaign was also spread to off the job. To give awareness to the families of workers, a few types of gloves were sent to each employee’s house, including gloves for oven, gloves for washing utensils, gloves for changing car tires and a finger protective tool used to avoid cuts during vegetable cutting.”
