Social: Health and safety

Caring beyond compliance

At Adani Power, ensuring the well-being of our workforce is integral to our operations, reflecting our commitment to creating a safe and secure workplace.

Through structured policies and rigorous Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) frameworks implemented across all sites, we have established a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating risks. Adhering to international standards, including ISO 45001, we integrate safety into every aspect of our operational processes.

Our safety protocols begin even before new employees or contract agencies are onboarded, with mandatory inductions, training, and site-specific awareness programmes. Regular refresher sessions for permanent and contractual employees are conducted to ensure safety remains a shared responsibility. By embedding a 'culture of care', we empower our workforce to uphold safety as a personal and collective priority

In FY 2024-25, 69% of employees and 100% of workers participated in OH&S training sessions, reinforcing our goal of 'Zero Harm'. These initiatives are designed to continually enhance our safety practices, ensuring operational resilience while safeguarding the lives and well-being of all who work with us

Approach Towards Safety Leadership

We adhere to our safety protocols with clear leadership traits, ensuring a shared safety responsibility among the workforce where everyone understands safety beyond personal responsibility. To enhance the effectiveness of our safety leadership traits, we have identified 10 behavioural patterns that nurture our safety culture.

Project Chetna

Safety has always been a cornerstone of our operations at Adani Power. Recognising the vital necessity of safeguarding our workforce, we introduced Project Chetna to foster a culture of awareness and attentiveness toward safety procedures across all activities. During the reporting period, we launched ‘Project Chetna 2.0', designed to enhance and verify the existing Process Safety Management (PSM) practices

The scope of Project Chetna 2.0 includes several critical components of Process Safety Management:

  • Mechanical Integrity and Quality Assurance (MIQA): Identifying essential systems, developing MIQA plans, and monitoring progress across various sites
  • PSM Audit System: Creating audit protocols, training audit team members, and conducting mock audits at our Mundra station
  • Process Safety Management Critical Equipment (PSM CE): Identifying critical equipment, reviewing its status across multiple sites, and integrating updates into the PSM dashboard
  • Process Hazard Analysis (PHA): Reviewing and evaluating Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOPs) across different plants, emphasising the implementation of recommendations
  • PSM Dashboard: Revising and developing the PSM dashboard to track key performance indicators (KPIs) at departmental, station, and corporate levels
