Our primary objectives are to ensure the safety of our people in occupational and operational
environments and to ensure safe and knowledgeable use of hazardous materials used during
operations.
HSE department monitors health, safety and environment of the organization under International
ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. With the team spirit HSE department ensures
effectiveness of OH & S systems, policies and programs to reduce workplace risks and promote safe

ensure occupational health, safety and environmental protection.

programs designed to reduce accidents and eliminate injuries at all our locations. The structure of
Emergency Response Teams is well defined and the required contingency plans have been established
which regulate emergency organization, responsibilities, list of key personnel, important telephone
