A safety committee meeting was held at the Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL) headquarters. The meeting was presided over by NCL CMD B Sairam.
In his address, Sairam described the discussions held during the meeting as constructive. He emphasized that training for all employees—including contractual staff—is indispensable for ensuring safety and stressed the need to develop the Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) located at the projects into model and specialized training centers. He also appreciated NCL's innovative e-training initiative, the 'VTC Portal'.
He called for ensuring regular health check-ups for all contractual workers through health camps and issued directives for the continuous improvement of welfare facilities. In light of current global conditions arising from conflicts, he highlighted the use of e-vehicles in mining operations as the need of the hour. He further stated that it is our responsibility to continue fulfilling the nation's energy aspirations, even amidst challenging circumstances.
