Employee awareness and participation are vital for achieving high standards of
occupational health and safety, and in protecting the environment. ITC employees are
encouraged to participate in EHS committees, suggestion schemes, safety quizzes &
competitions and in observing important EHS events like National Safety Day, Fire Safety

ITC continues
to invest substantial resources in EHS training of employees and service providers. The
European Union standards and OHSAS 18001 strongly recommend the ‘risk based
approach’ to EHS management.
During 2004-05, 398 Managers from various
ITC Units were trained in Risk Assessment on EHS, significantly improving the
Company’s ability to pre-empt and manage EHS risks. The Confederation of Indian
Industry (CII), National Safety Council and Loss Prevention Association of India have
supported ITC's initiatives in imparting training on Waste Management, Risk Management and
Fire Safety. |
