Safety at every step

We are leading the way in deploying state-of-the-art technological solutions to reduce human-machine interaction, ultimately improving process efficiency and safety.


  • At the design stage, a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) study is conducted to decide the configuration of manufacturing equipment
  • Manufacturing of paints and intermediates is done through an automated process with a Distributed Control System (DCS)
  • The solvent and monomer tanks are equipped with dual controls to ensure that materials are not overfilled. Additionally, a pneumatic conveying system is used to transfer solid raw materials to the paint processing equipment
  • Automated system of packing lines of paints, transportation, and sorting of packing material
  • Robots are employed for palettising paint containers





Putting our employees first


In order to ensure the well-being and safety of our workforce, our occupational health and safety (OHS) framework is rigorously implemented. This framework incorporates regular assessments of potential health risks, conducted by an industrial hygienist every three years, to systematically identify and address hazards within our plant premises. Moreover, we conduct weekly monitoring of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions and fortnightly sampling for Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) at selected locations. These samples undergo meticulous analysis by accredited external laboratories. Additionally, ventilation studies are carried out biennially or in response to any changes in design or processes by qualified professionals across all our plant areas to uphold a secure working environment.







Safety monitoring mechanism


Our occupational health and safety (OHS) framework is designed to systematically identify various types of workplace hazards. This involves conducting Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) to assess general work-related hazards, utilising Bow-tie Analysis, HAZOP, and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for process safety hazards, conducting Fire Risk Assessment for fire-related risks, and performing Manual Material Handling Risk Assessment for tasks involving manual material handling.





Moreover, we have implemented a robust incident reporting system named ‘iSafe’ in all our manufacturing plants. In the event of an incident, a dedicated investigation team promptly convenes at the affected plant. By employing methodologies such as the 5-Why Analysis and Fishbone diagrams, they rigorously analyse the incident to identify its root causes. The findings, potential causes, and the resulting Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) are thoroughly reviewed at various levels within our organisation. These insights are then shared across all plants, cultivating a culture of shared learning. Furthermore, incident reports and the associated CAPA are presented to the Board of Directors quarterly.





Strengthening warehouse safety


In order to ensure the highest level of safety throughout our warehouses, our focus remains on adhering to electrical and fire safety regulations, implementing effective man-machine interface protocols, and maintaining material handling equipment, racking systems, and visual management standards. We also prioritise complying with basic requirements and statutory norms. Additionally, we diligently address electrical audit observations and develop a comprehensive manual outlining standard warehouse amenities. To further enhance safety and efficiency, we have introduced engineering innovations, including forklift cameras.
