  • Abstract:
  • Road and workplace safety are critical dimensions of corporate responsibility, particularly in heavy industries where employee mobility and transportation form a core part of operations. In Tata Steel, driving behavior and safety are pivotal given the company’s vast logistics operations and internal transport needs. Human Factor Engineering (HFE) facilitates the integration of ergonomic, cognitive, and technological elements to improve safety outcomes by aligning human capabilities with system demands. This study examines the impact of digital and technological interventions (such as telematics, driver monitoring systems, wearable sensors, and safety information systems) on driving behavior and safety performance among Tata Steel drivers. A mixed-methods approach involving a structured questionnaire and observational analysis was applied to a sample of 150 drivers selected through stratified random sampling. Statistical tools including descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and regression analysis were used to test three hypotheses linked to the objectives of the study. Findings indicate a significant positive effect of HFE-oriented digital interventions on driving behavior and safety compliance. The study concludes with recommendations for strengthening technology adoption, personalized training interventions, and real-time feedback mechanisms to enhance safety outcomes.
