Apollo Tyres’ India Plants Earn Five-Star Safety Rating
Apollo Tyres’ five manufacturing units in India have received the British Safety Council’s Five-Star Rating and Sword of Honour 2026. These awards recognize the company’s occupational health and safety management systems and sustained safety culture.
The recognition reflects the company’s focus on strengthening health and safety practices, maintaining operational discipline and ensuring employee well-being. It also highlights the company’s commitment to safety across its manufacturing operations. The recognition underscores processes that support safe facilities for tire manufacturing, quality control and related operations.
British Safety Council Audit Criteria
The British Safety Council’s Five-Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit comprehensively assesses an organization’s policies, processes and practices. The evaluation examines occupational health and safety management indicators through documentation reviews, stakeholder interviews and operational activity sampling.
Achieving this recognition across all five Indian manufacturing units highlights workforce participation in building a safe workplace. Safety performance supports consistent production, equipment uptime and compliant shop-floor procedures. These procedures inform tire maintenance, wheel alignment, balancing and TPMS service standards in downstream automotive repair environments.
