Occupational Health
and Safety -
towards zero accident


  

ITC benchmarks against international best practices in the areas of Occupational Health and Safety. All Units of the Company target to attain zero-accident levels through comprehensive risk assessment and minimization and elimination of potential hazards. All ITC Units are mandated by policy to record and recall incidents and address the Safety issues involved therein.

All ITC Units identify potential Occupational Health and Safety hazards, whether physical or chemical. These are eliminated or controlled to ensure that exposures are well within the specified and applicable standards. ITC strives to provide safeguards of international standards for all plant and machinery in each of its Units.

ITC accords high priority to fire safety. All ITC locations deploy the latest comprehensive fire prevention and control technology.
