We embrace and celebrate quality and professional work conduct as fundamental pillars of the corporate manufacturing paradigm. We understand that operating with such equipment and introducing the best technologies in the process requires the most constant effort and strict compliance with safety measures. Through evaluating the roles of professional engineers, technicians, and operators, the employees take through intense training that keeps them informed of the equipment operation, word hazards, and risk control measures.
Appropriate protective measures embraced in the company include wearing of protective gears while handling machines and equipment, safeguarding of operating machines, and regular inspection and servicing of the equipment. Furthermore, we promote the culture of safety and promote organisational learning by reviewing near-misses and incidents, brainstorming about possible solutions, and improving them regularly. First and foremost, caught between ethics and stakeholder interests, we commit to considering the rights of our employees and ensuring that the work environment is secure in order to fulfil our ethical obligations while preserving the quality and safety of the automotive components manufactured for our customers.
Safety is Our Priority
Risk management at IGS Engineering PTV Ltd is therefore not just an empty word, but tangible. It should be noted that it is an important aspect capable of buttressing the quality of automotive parts and components produced continuously. The fact that our products are manufactured mostly through complex means with technology, heavy equipment, and intricate operations that involve the use of chemicals and radiation that at times may pose a great danger to the workers and the environment makes it paramount for us to incorporate safety practices into our operations in a holistic method.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Hazard management is one of the key facets that any organization must undertake to protect their employees and one of the first line of response towards controlling workplace hazards is use of personal protective equipment. It is stated that there is a need to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for specific functions, for example; safety eye wears for shield of flying objects, hearing protection such as ear plugs/ muffs that help in reducing noise exposure, foot wears particularly the steel covered ones to protect the feet from falling items, and heat resisting leather gloves when handling very hot items. Apart from training, we take time and monitor our employees on ways to understand the effectiveness of the PPE and how to use them properly during their operations.
Machine Guarding and Lockout/Tagout
This group of manufacturing tools such as the CNC machining centres, presses, and welding systems among others present inherent hazards if they are not adequately protected and isolated. For high-intensity protected zones or restricted access to hazardous areas, we use technology-based protective measures like physical barriers, light curtains, and interlocking. Moreover, it requires that work must be organized in such a manner that a machine is adequately isolated and made non-functional before anyone starts work on it – a feature separating Lockout/Tagout procedures from simple lockout.
Hazardous Material Handling
Automotive manufacturing entails the application of a variety of fluids and lubricants or the provision of cleaning solvents, all of which are potentially hazardous . These materials should be properly labelled for identification while their storage and disposal should involve special containment such as secondary containment units.
In dealing with these materials, there are supposed to be equipment such as fume hood or even mechanical ventilation systems. In the case of dangerous substances, our employees are well trained on how to transport and handle them to avoid the impact of those materials.
Ergonomics and Workplace Design
Repetitive motions, awkward postures, and manual material handling can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and injuries over time. At IGS Engineering, we prioritize ergonomic principles in the design of our workstations, tools, and workflows. This includes the use of lift-assist devices, adjustable workstations, and job rotation to minimize strain and fatigue. Our facility layout is optimized to promote efficient material flow and underrate disproportionate manual handling.
Continuous Improvement and Training
Safety is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to constantly improving our practices through regular audits, incident investigations, and the implementation of corrective and preventive actions. Our safety protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the industry’s best methods and regulatory changes. Furthermore, we invest heavily in employee training programs, guaranteeing that our workforce is well-versed in safe work practices, emergency response procedures, and the proper use of safety equipment.
By prioritizing safety at every level, from individual PPE to exhaustive workplace design, we not only safeguard the well-being of our employees but also ensure the integrity and quality of the automotive components we simulate. A safe work environment fosters a culture of excellence, allowing our skilled workforce to operate at high efficiency and deliver products that meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and durability for our valued customers.
