DLF gets British Safety Council award for office buildings

India's largest realty firm DLF has received the 'Sword of Honour' award from British Safety Council for maintaining highest safety standards in its 17 office buildings in Gurgaon.
DLF has become the first real estate organisation in the world (in office complex infrastructure development and operation) to earn this honour, it said in a statement.
"The British Safety Council has conferred the prestigious 'Sword of Honour' to 17 DLF office complexes in Gurgaon. DLF is conferred with this Safety Excellence Award for maintaining the highest standard in occupational health and safety," the statement said.
The British Safety Council's Sword of Honour award represents the pinnacle of achievement in the world of health and safety management.
