In order to achieve advancement of Inspection and Certification I(I&C) of vehicles and increased safety on roads, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has incorporated an independent body Society for Automotive Fitness & Environment (SAFE) with membership from Industry, Testing Agencies and NGOs.
SAFE works to spread awareness among the various stakeholders on the concerns of in-use vehicles which would lead to safer vehicles and cleaner environment
SAFE organizes inspection clinics for in-use vehicles and training workshops in various parts of the country for technicians in the area of pollution checking. These programmes are aimed at creating awareness amongst vehicle owners on importance of regular maintenance of their vehicles. It is one of the most effective ways to control emission levels from vehicles in the country.
In addition, SAFE also organizes seminars and interactions on these subject with State Governments and other stakeholders for fostering better and safer mobility.
SAFE has also commenced various initiatives for imparting road safety education to students, drivers and the general public at large. Through Road Safety Awareness Programmes, SAFE tries to apprise the community on traffic rules and also to inculcate correct and responsible attitude towards fellow road users.
SAFE is a catalyst in the automobile industry’s endeavour to fulfil its commitment towards a cleaner and a safer environment and will continue to support and enhance the industry’s role as a responsible corporate citizen in the country.
