Ensuring occupational health and safety in our campuses has always been our priority. Being honoured for our efforts at the Golden Peacock Awards, which are regarded as a benchmark of corporate leadership and excellence worldwide, is a milestone for us.
We have been conferred with the globally acclaimed Golden Peacock Occupational Health & Safety Award (GPOHSA) 2020! It’s all because of our integrated approach and significant achievements in the field of occupational health and safety.
Let’s have a look at what all we are doing in this regard:
Ensuring your health and safety is a commitment for us. We even see health and safety policies as part of the way we run our business and to this end, have developed OH&S objectives that are also consistent with our OH&S policy. The objectives and policy have been developed keeping various parameters— legal compliance, hazards assessments, competency and continual improvement— in mind. There is a periodic review conducted to identify the opportunities for improvement and hurdles. We also review the key performance indicators and risk assessments from time to time to avoid any perilous condition at our sites. Our reporting system is so streamlined that even a near-miss reported, and later, learning is imparted to all employees.
We have done a training need analysis for each role which was later incorporated in the training need. All our staff, including the contractor and subcontractor staff, is trained on fire safety, first aid and how to use a fire extinguisher. We maintain an annual training tracker that is updated and reviewed every month. We have covered 100% of employees till March 20, 2020, and 72% of employees to date. After March 20, 2020, an online training tool has been incorporated into our training system. More than 90% of our supervisors and engineers are trained in plant safety. Approximately 100% of our contract workers are trained in industrial safety.

Winning the Golden Peacock Occupational Health & Safety Award 2020 is a testament to our continuous and ongoing efforts.
