We have formed joint committees at all levels, comprising representatives from all stakeholders, including employees, workers (both permanent and non-permanent), to ensure the effective functioning of programs and services that promote health and safety. These committees regularly evaluate and assess the effectiveness of our health and safety initiatives, identifying areas for improvement and planning for future enhancements. 

We have set up an EHS department at all our establishments to ensure the health and safety of our workforce, in collaboration with the joint committees. 

The EHS department conducts regular risk and hazard assessments at the workplace to identify potential risks and hazards and prioritizes action plans to address these issues promptly and effectively. We have implemented various mechanisms to assess risks and hazards, including Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA).

We have a robust mechanism of internal and external audits throughout the year to ensure due diligence and the quality of health and safety services provided at the workplace.

We provide training and awareness programs for our workforce, supply chain partners, and communities to educate them on various safety aspects, such as emergency preparedness, safety guidelines, and best practice

We use MOC to manage risks from system changes, improving safety and reducing turnaround time. We conduct risk analyses using techniques like HAZOP and QRA to identify hidden risks and prevent incidents

Our Occupational Health Services are guided by our OH Manual, which complies with the Indian Factories Act 1948, OHSAS 18001, ISO 45001, and FSSAI regulations, ensuring a robust framework for employee health and safety.

We have implemented a "right to stop unsafe work" policy, gathered feedback on new PPEs, and conducted mock drills with the National Disaster Response Force. Our safety committees, comprising diverse members, promote a culture of continuous learning and development, ensuring a safe and successful work environment

Our CMS ensures contractor safety through a two-part process: (a) Pre-Qualification (PQ): Evaluating contractors before work begins. (b) Post-Contractor

Ongoing management and monitoring

We conduct pre-employment medical check-ups as per statutory and non-statutory requirements aligned with the job requirements. Periodical medical in-house check-ups with specific tests identified per risk assessment of employees working in different departments exposed to various occupational health hazards. We carry out most of these tests using in-house equipment, such as spirometers, audiometers, vision testers, and peak flow meters. Health assessments are conducted prior to an employee's return to work, and medical fitness certificates are verified, validated, and maintained as records

We provide ergonomic workstations to prevent musculoskeletal problems by designing better workstations through ergonomic surveys and improvements and strengthening workplace monitoring. In FY25, we conducted a thorough ergonomic assessment at our Tirupati Plant to assess ergonomic-related improvements. We also conducted a qualitative industrial hygiene survey at our Halol Plant to assess the physical and chemical properties present in the work environment, such as lux, noise, dust, VOC, and CO. 

The scope of improvement in occupational health services is through periodic internal and external IMS audits

We immunize specific categories of employees per job requirements for specific protection under primary prevention protocol. As per statutory requirements, we manage biomedical waste generated as part of occupational health services. 

We conduct statutory training, including first aid and CPR for our employees. We have formulated Emergency Evacuation Action Plans by providing training and conducting mock drills with employees to respond to emergencies.

A systematic approach to proactively identify potential hazards and risks in various processes, such as heat treatment, painting, and bulk storage of petroleum products. This enables us to take preventive measures to avoid harm and ensure a safe working environment. 

A detailed study that breaks down jobs into a series of steps to identify potential hazards and plan actions to mitigate OHS risks. This is an integral part of our management of change process and non-routine activities

A method to estimate the likelihood and consequences of hazardous events, providing quantitative results to inform decision-making. We have conducted QRA for bulk storage of propane gas and petroleum products, among others. 

A comprehensive approach to establish a stringent system for identifying risks, planning mitigation measures, and ensuring safety, health, and human rights for all stakeholders.
