Employee Health and Safety
We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace to all our employees. We have created an infrastructure, established mechanisms and procedures to prevent contingencies and help protect our employees and the assets they work with by following internationally accepted standards and practices.
We regularly regularly conduct safety committee meetings to encourage transparency and openness to resolve unsafe conditions and practices. We conduct regular training on various aspects of safety to ensure safe work practices. We hold initiatives like ‘Toolbox Talks’, encourage informal discussions on a safe and healthy work culture.
We have established and implemented a Safety Management System as per British Safety Council’s 5 Star Safety system. We have moved from 10pt MSDS* to 16pt MSDS in early 2013, by adopting international Globally Harmonized System (GHS) by ILO. GHS is adopted by many countries in Europe, Australia, America and Asia. We are one of the few companies in India which has proactively adopted this system.
The concept of safety is continuously reinforced amongst our employees through a number of channels such as periodic training, emergency mock drills, safety campaigns, periodic inspections and displays on safety. This had led to increased awareness levels on safety resulting in reporting of even minor incidents.
