Environment Health & Safety
HIL invests in a strong environmental, health and safety management, otherwise known as EHS. From an environmental standpoint, it involves creating a systematic approach to managing waste, complying with environmental regulations, or reducing the company’s carbon footprint. Successful EHS programs also include measures to address ergonomics, air quality, and other aspects of workplace safety that could affect the health and well-being of employees.
All Occupational Diseases are preventable by preventing exposure of hazardous substances to employees at work place. Hence, robust dust control systems are in place in all our plants.
Stack emissions and work place dust levels are evaluated to know the fibre concentration in the work environment. The measured levels in work place and stacks are less than permissible levels prescribed by MOEF. Operations team ensures that waste generated is minimal and the generated waste is recycled and / or properly disposed. Process water is totally recycled. Hence no effluents are let out. Safety department ensures availability and use for Personal Protective Equipments and conducts multi cause analysis of any incident. Steps are to prevent such reoccurrences. Safety Audit is also done periodically.
To prevent any occupational health issues, in addition to above environment engineering controls, a health surveillance program is in vogue as per Factories Rules. Pre employment, periodic and follow up medical examinations after cessation of employment are conducted as per regulatory norms. In addition to detailed physical examination and necessary investigations, Health education and counseling of employees on preventable aspects of disease is also done. Medical records are maintained up to 15 years after cessation of employment as per statutory norms. As Tobacco smoke multiplies the risk of asbestos related lung cancers, Tobacco smoking is banned in the factory premises since 1983.
