Emergency preparedness and response
With a sharp focus on preventive and prompt responsive safety measures, we have put in place an elaborate Emergency Preparedness & Response Plan (EP&RP).
Encompasses all phases and areas of port site operations
Lists out response processes, escalation hierarchies and control measures for extreme disaster scenarios
Includes regular simulation exercises with stakeholders to ensure emergency-readiness
Covers strong fire safety measures, including firefighting equipment, early detection sensors, and regular audits, complemented by training programmes and hazard awareness initiatives
Uncompromising Focus on Security
Our robust, well-defined security framework is central to our safety proposition. It is crafted to the mitigation of all types of potential risks, and considers geopolitical risk assessments to protect the workforce and operations.
- The multi-layered framework includes deployment of drone technology and routine patrolling for the protection of the facility
- Maritime security is ensured through collaborations with the Indian Coast Guard
- Periodic exercises, such as Sagar Kawach, are conducted with the Indian Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Police, to evaluate the response capabilities and ensure effective crisis coordination
Our OHS Performance in FY 2024-25
- Data-Driven Safety Insights: Reinforcing the role of data analysis in safety enhancement, the Adani GENSUITE platform played a crucial role in facilitating the reporting and analysis of 1,23,164 safety concerns in FY 2024-25. This highlighted the importance of a proactive approach to health and safety management.
- Learning from Incidents: Our rigorous safety measures notwithstanding, we lost 6 contractors during the fiscal year. We undertook detailed investigations to identify the root causes behind the incidents, and to develop strategies to prevent recurrence. We also shared the lessons learned with our workforce, emphasising the importance of strict adherence with the safety protocols.
