Dhenkanal(News Time Pro):

Tata Steel BSL follows a robust management system framework and a sound safety governance structure that drives its health and safety measures. We are constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation across our locations and are also ensuring regular communication with our workforce.

A Review Committee has been formed comprising of senior officials from all the locations and functions who meet daily and take actions as the situation warrants. Massive communication is being done through mass mails, hoardings, banners, stickers, standees, leaflets in Odia, Hindi and English as per the suggestions of World Health Organisation and Central and State governments. Besides thousands of leaflets in regional languages have been distributed among the workers, truck drivers coming to the plant and loudspeakers have also been deployed in workers’ colonies and in the plant premises to create awareness.
As part of the guidelines from our group, we will pay full salaries to the temporary workers and daily wage earners even if the workers are unable to work due to either quarantine measures, site closures, plant shutdowns or other reasons due the outbreak of Covid-19.

Beside other measures like, prohibition of biometric punching for attendance, deployment of Infrared thermometer gun to screen incoming employees at the main gate, hand sanitizers and encouragement of its use at all the canteens, guest houses, office premises, entry gates, etc have been undertaken.

A dedicated helpline number for the employees has been made available. School and Creches in the residential colony have been closed and female employees with children and expectant mothers have been asked to work from home. All functions, mass meetings, get-togethers have been prohibited. Frequent cleaning of canteen, Occupational Health Centre, office premises and mopping of floors is strictly enforced.
