We have achieved the one goal that we have always hoped to achieve - to
have the status of “THE WORLD’S BEST STEEL MAKER” conferred on us. On June
22, World Steel Dynamics Inc., USA, the world’s leading steel information service
provider announced that it has ranked Tata Steel as the best steel company in the world.
The organisation rated 23 world class steel makers of the world - across Asia, Europe,
Australia and the Americas. Tata Steel, as the Company has always reiterated, was
evaluated as being the BEST. The study rated each of the companies on the basis of 20
individual parameters including cash operating costs, harnessing technological revolution,
profitability in 2000-2004, the balance sheet of the Company, dominance in the
country/region, domestic market growth, expanding capacity, access to outside funds, cost
cutting and the like, before arriving at its decision.
Among these, Tata Steel scored a 10 on the following parameters -
dominance in country/region, expanding capacity, access to outside funds, iron ore and
coking coal mines and location with respect to raw materials - enabling it to zoom to the
top. The Company scored nine points in areas such as environment & safety and stock
market performance.

safety
A safe work environment
provides a great sense of security not only to the employee but also to the entire family.
It puts everyone at ease and increases the employee’s level of committment. In order
to create awareness on the basic safety norms that need to be observed, a Safety Meeting
was organised on March 16, 2005 at pit top of 6 and 7 Pits Colliery. The meeting was
attended in large numbers by all supervisors, officers and union representatives. Mr Kumar
Akhilesh, Safety Officer presented a database of accidents in the past five years along
with the reasons for their occurrence and the steps taken for improvement.
It indeed was a perfect example of ‘learning from one’s own
mistakes’! |
