Safety during PandemicWe place the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, contractors, and their families as our highest priority. It was critical that we keep running our plants and serving our customers while protecting our workers. Dorf Ketal Health & Safety teams provided consultation and services to employees to ensure that our workforce was heathy, educated on the facts of COVID-19 and supported them to do the vital work necessary to meet the needs of our customers around the globe.Safety Kiosk & PassbookWe have identified safety in operations as a critical risk and a key material topic. A smallest deviation or lapse in Safety Operating Procedures by a plant worker or an employee can result into a big hazard. To avert and mitigate health & safety risks, safety has to become a mindset and essential part of work-life culture. This requires continued focus on changing habits and attitude of the workers towards work.ChallengeWe have implemented an innovative project of Safety Kiosk & Passbook. Kiosk is an interactive safety training aid which helps to create a self-help safety program by attaching AVIs, images and text. It provides export and import features, aid for hearing impaired, navigation menu and quiz to test preparedness. A Safety Passbook printed from kiosk educates and makes an employee aware about Safety SOPS, risks & hazards. SolutionW e e x t e n s i v e l y p r o m o t e d vaccination for all our employees, t h e i r f a m i l y m e m b e r s a n d contractors and provided all necessary support in ensuring the availability of vaccination. Our goal was to ensure that the maximum number of employees could receive a vaccine, administered either off-site by local public health agencies or on-site at our facilities wherever feasible and permitted by local government. Throughout the year, we continued to adapt to the impacts of the COVID-19 virus variants as they spread around the globe. We kept our employees updated on the most recent variant information and mitigation efforts and we adjusted workplace procedures as needed to help keep our employees safe. We are proud to share that we ensured safety of all our employees globally during the pandemic.Safety Kiosk has helped to standardise the training and induction process for the new employees and visitors. This training was being done earlier through human interface and hence heterogeneity in providing training had the possibility of different response to crisis situation from different people. This standardised safety induction procedure helps to avert the safety risks due to lack of knowledge or preparedness on the part of new employee or contract worker or vendor.ImpactWe maintained a \implementing operational controls and PPE guidance in line with recommendations from the concerned authorities from time to time so that people could be protected while working at our sites.57
