12. Describe the measures taken by the entity to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.

As a part of the EHS Management system, a project-specific EHS plan is prepared at the commencement of every new project, which determines the broad parameters of EHS management. This plan identifies the hazardous operations and the risks arising from such hazards which are within the scope of the work. It also specifies the required integrated preventive measures (controls) to mitigate the same.

The Management provides strong, demonstrable and visible leadership and commitment to EHS through personal examples and actions. This forms the crux of the Live Injury-Free Each Day (L.I.F.E) goal. Management personnel participate in EHS meetings, conduct site inspections and Audits, to encourage and develop a positive attitude towards EHS within JKIL projects and operations. The Management ensure that adequate resources were available and responsibilities allocated for implementing the JKIL LIFE framework. Roles and responsibilities, targets and objectives, goals, training needs and required conduct is clearly defined, agreed and communicated across the organization.

We view health and safety as an important management task that requires a culture of continual improvement. Our projectlevel EHS team supports our operations and employees in integrating health and safety standards into their operational planning, business decisions, and daily process activities. Given the nature of our operations, occupational health and safety is always our top priority. We have established and implemented an Occupational Health and Safety Management System aligned to the ISO 45001:2018 standards. Our project site personnel are trained to identify, alleviate, and control risks specific to their operation. Health and safety-related training, awareness sessions and inspections are being carried out on a periodic basis.

Furthermore, to support, there is a systematic risk management process in place to identify and control hazards in projects/units which require verification of conformity. Therefore, a process has been established for carrying out internal EHS audits. This process mandates organizing internal audits for active projects, and it is verified by audit teams specific to each business, at least once in six months.

Certain projects were selected for frequent auditing, depending on their status, importance, and risk profile. This was in addition to any external audits carried out by accredited auditors.

This enables identification of the key areas of risk which in turn guides the projects to proactively manage and focus resources to prevent any accidents or incidents. Such analysis is shared throughout the group businesses structure, to support JKIL Mission ZERO HARM objective.

Efforts have been made in understanding the Company’s high-risk profile holistically. EHS risk management culture has been inculcated across the Company. Steps taken include:

  • Inducted Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) into the HSES Management Community of central knowledge sharing module

  • Inter business EHS Audits to evaluate and reinforce EHSMS for lateral sharing of best EHS practices.

  • Implementation of Behavior Based Safety to reinforce positive safe behavior at workplaces and trends and monitor action for improvement of BBS culture across project sites.

  • Senior Management audits based on standard checklist developed by the EHS Council.

These efforts have led to a capture of data on high-risk hazardous activities in JKIL’s Business verticals. This helps to devise an action plan to enhance the ability of stakeholders to manage such activities with a higher degree of awareness and suitable training − using technology such as AR/VR from external agencies as well as subject matter experts. Employees strive to achieve EHS excellence in their respective functions and align their actions and business decisions.
