Tata Steel has adopted Environmental Management System (ISO-14001), Health & Safety Management Safety (OHSAS-18001) & Social Responsibility Management System (SA-8000) to manage its Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) impacts and performance. The EHS includes all aspects associated with products, services and operation as shown below;

Tata Steel has improved its compliance towards safety and environmental requirements of the importing countries by availing the services of the world-renowned company SGS India Limited to oversee export shipments. Risks associated with current and future products are integrated through R&D and actions are taken to minimise or eliminate the same at the product design stage itself. Future products are evaluated vis-à-vis public concerns. Public concerns associated with new projects are addressed in the risk analysis done for each project. To assess the risks to society and environment and to incorporate sustainability concerns in corporate strategy, Tata Steel has undertaken LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) under the aegis of Ministry of Environment and Forests. Under this project MoEF in collaboration with International Iron & Steel Institute had initiated Life Cycle Assessment output in 3 Steel Plants in India i.e. Tata Steel, Bhilai Steel Plant & Vizag Steel Plant. The study focused on environmental burdens of steel making starting from Mining to manufacture of steel up to the gate of the factory. Furthermore, “Carrying Capacity” of Jamshedpur has been carried out by NEERI in the year 2000, which serves as a blueprint for environment friendly development of this region. The year 2004 has been declared as “Safety Year” by the Managing Director and M/s. Dupont Safety Services have been engaged to introduce behavioural safety in the organization.
