• The steel industry is capital intensive, and preservation of assets is both crucial to its sustenance and simultaneously expensive. Several strategic measures have been taken to address these issues;
     
  • A shift from predominantly preventive maintenance approach to condition based maintenance approach.
    
    
  • Agreement with Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) for diagnostic study of our maintenance systems, for achieving world-class standards in sustenance.
    
    
  • Use of latest technological aids for reaching world-class productivity in sustenance activities.
    
    
  • Vigorous introduction of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) on the shop floor.
    
    
• We have taken significant initiatives both from a financial perspective as well as for sustainability of the environment.
    
  • Waste heat recovery from hot stoves at “G” Blast Furnace, a Green Aid Plan project in collaboration with NSC and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan.
    
    
  • Harnessing of natural light to replace artificial illumination on the shop floor.
    
    
  • Efficient use of byproduct gases to reduce fossil fuel consumption (lowest ever coal middling consumption).

• Tata Steel has been awarded “Excellence in Energy Management – 2003” from CII.

• The year 2004 has been declared as the “Year of Safety”.
  
  
  • The aim is to achieve OHSAS-18001 & SA-8000 certification for the Steel Works at Jamshedpur.
    
    
  • We have won several safety awards, the most recent being “Ispat Suraksha Puraskar” (West Bokaro).
    
    
  • A movement has been initiated for attitudinal transformation of the workforce and power of IT has been extensively deployed for comprehensive monitoring and management of every single unsafe event.
    
    
  • M/s. DuPont, industry leader in safety development culture, have been engaged to accelerate the process.
