emergency handling
We have a well-defined onsite disaster management
plan which also involves the local government and
other industries in the area. Mock drills and fire
drills are regularly conducted to test emergency
preparedness. Services of emergency equipment
are provided to district authorities on various
occasions as per their demand. Prompt services
for fire-fighting are also provided to surrounding
villages, and various fire-fighting and emergency
handling equipment have been added to further
improve the capability. The onsite emergency plan
and mutual aid and response group (MARG) shows
our commitment and preparedness towards any
crisis situation. We are in regular touch with nearby
industries so that there is mutual learning and
sharing of resources.

Safety training
To maintain and improve upon the well-established
safety systems, extensive trainings were conducted
by internal and external experts on rescue, fire-
fighting and emergency handling, electrical safety,

to deeply engrain a safety culture in our people,
especially those who are involved in plant operations.
At Chambal, a strong occupational health and
safety management system, OHSAS-18001:2007
is in place to ensure safety of employees, contractor
workforce as well as equipment and machinery.

We have implemented the process safety
management system (PSM) developed by
Occupational Safety & Health Administration, USA
in our operations, which is helping us proactively
identify, assess and control hazards. Process
incidents are continuously reviewed as per PSM
guidelines and trainings, and audits are regularly
conducted for overall improvement of safety
management systems.
