near-Miss and Make-to-good
To encourage safety awareness among employees
and the contractor workforce, a scheme of near-miss
and make-to-good reporting is in place. All near
misses, minor injuries and incidents are reviewed,
analysed, and corrective actions taken.
Safety of Contract Workers
For us, the well-being and safety of our contract
workforce is a key concern. Our agreements with
contractors include provisions on various safety
related issues. For example, we reserve the right
to levy penalties for any unsafe act or violation of
safety norms on the contractors. To identify lapses
and areas of improvement, review meetings with
contractors are conducted every quarter.
At the plant entrance, risks and precautions are
explained to each worker. During operations,
the jobs are supervised by job in charges and
other senior officers to ensure safety compliance.
Whenever any violation is observed, the concerned
workmen and job supervisors are counselled and
violation, if any, is recorded.
