Labour Ministry appoints L&T CEO Subrahmanyan as Chairman of National Safety Council

The Ministry of labour and employment has appointed Larsen & Toubro’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director SN Subrahmanyan as the chairman of the National Safety Council for a period of three years.

Subrahmanyan will guide the National Safety Council which has a major role to play to ensure safety in workplaces under new Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (OSH Code, 2020), a government statement said.

The National Safety Council will be assisting Directorate General Factory Advice Service and Labour Institutes in re-writing the regulations governing OSH in the country which have not been updated for over 50 years, a government statement said.


Subrahmanyan has spent close to 37 years with the $21 billion-conglomerate L&T, where he started as a project planning engineer. He was appointed as the company’s CEO in 2017.
