Sustainable initiatives in terms of environment and occupational health and safety by companies like Essel and Adani Group Coal Mine India are notable. The use of eco-friendly surface miners is one such measure undertaken by Adani. This, in turn, reduces labor and time requirements as well as the chances of safety complications.
Similar technology is also being used at Rajmahal's coalfield in Jharkhand by the Aditya Birla-backed Essel Mining Division. This technology greatly increases the safety of miners by eliminating the need to drill and blast.
Safety is a key aspect of operations such as mines, so it is vital that organizations have a culture that promotes occupational safety. Adani Group has been focusing a lot on safety practices throughout its coal mine projects in India.
Safe work practices have led to zero incidents at Parsa Mine Site since inception. Adani has been awarded multiple awards, including the Greentech Safety Award (Metals and Mining Category).
Safety concerns continue to grow as the coal industry continues to produce a lot of it. It is essential to conduct training and awareness programs for employees, while also deploying the most up-to-date technology and equipment.
