Bhubaneswar (Odisha), Feb. 11, 2025: Reinforcing its unwavering commitment to safe mining operations, India’s largest producer of aluminium Vedanta organised the latest edition of its Annual Mines Safety Fortnight (AMSF) at its Jamkani coal mine in Odisha\u2019s Sundargarh district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-week-long programme, organised in collaboration with the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS), witnessed enthusiastic participation of over 500 employees and business partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the programme focused on the theme: \u201cAapka pariwar aapka intezar kar raha hai\u201d, it emphasized on the critical importance of safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure well-being of employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prafull Ranjan Thakur, Director of Mines Safety, DGMS Bhubaneswar, said, \u201cI would like to congratulate the Jamkani coal mine team of Vedanta Aluminium for successfully organising the Annual Mines Safety Fortnight Programme. The team\u2019s commitment to holding regular safety drills and awareness programmes, strict adherence to safety protocols and a secure one-way access road for heavy earth moving machinery, sets a high benchmark for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting Vedanta Aluminium’s safety-first culture, Mr. David Stone, CEO (Coal Mines) Aluminium, said, “As an organization, safety has been an integral part of our core values, and ensuring a zero-harm environment at the workplace remains our key objective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are accelerating this goal through consistent implementation of best practices across all operational levels and creating a seamless framework for compliance. The Annual Mines Safety Fortnight initiative demonstrates our commitment to fostering a \u2018culture of care\u2019 and ensuring a secure environment for all stakeholders,\u201d added the CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the fortnight, the mines team of Vedanta Aluminium proactively raised awareness about safety among its employees, their families, and local communities through regular workshops. These include defensive mock drills, fire safety sessions, first aid training programmes and road safety awareness drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key highlight of the initiative was the safety inspection carried out by an external AMSF team of 10 experts, comprising an Internal Safety Organisation (ISO) observer and senior officials from Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL). The safety evaluation underscored Vedanta Aluminium\u2019s steadfast commitment to upholding the highest safety standards across its mining operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
