SAFETY POLICY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Safety is always Anuptech's top priority & goal. Achieving a zero accident work system is of prime importance to us. In our seven years of existence, we had the misfortune of encountering three or four minor incidents. We believe that all such accidents are avoidable. So we make it a point to inculcate this philosophy into our work culture.

It is our earnest endeavor to avert any untoward incidents from occurring. It is towards achieving this goal that we have formulated the below mentioned Safety Policy manual, and constantly strive to reinvent better safety procedures which guarantee an accident free work zone.

1.1 Prior to the decision to conduct Welding, Flame cutting or Grinding operations, the Floor Manager, Welding Instructors and/or Floor Assistants shall review the project and inspect the area for potential Hazards.

1.2 The Floor Manager shall inform the Welding Instructor/Supervisor whenever Welding, Flame cutting or Grinding operations are planned.

1.3 The Floor Manager or Instructor shall inspect all equipment in order to determine that it is in proper working order and in a fire safe condition. Any equipment deemed to be unsafe will not be used and shall instantly be removed from the network.

2.0 TRAINING:

2.1 Welding Instructors/Supervisors shall be responsible for training candidates to be familiar with the processes of Welding, Flame cutting and Grinding.
