What it is

The SafaiMitra Suraksha Challenge targets zero hazardous entry into sewers and septic tanks and the safety of sanitation workers. We deliver the safety, equipment and protocol training that the Challenge and worker dignity require.

Why it matters
  • Worker safety is a legal and moral imperative
  • The Challenge scores cities on mechanised, safe practices
  • Protocols and PPE save lives
Zero hazardous entry

From manual entry to safe practice

The Challenge targets zero hazardous entry into sewers and tanks — safety training replaces life-threatening manual work with mechanised, protected practice.

Hazardous practice
  • Manual entry into sewers & tanks
  • No PPE or safety protocol
  • Life-threatening exposure
Safe, mechanised practice
  • Mechanised cleaning alternatives
  • PPE, protocols & permits
  • Trained, protected SafaiMitras

The Challenge scores cities on the shift from left to right.
