Committee on Safety in Coal Mines
Minutes of the 41st Meeting of the Standing Committee on Safety in Coal Mines under the
Chairmanship of Hon’ble Minister of Coal held on 21st December, 2016
The 41st meeting of the Standing Committee on Safety in Coal Mines was held on 21st December, 2016 in
New Delhi under the Chairmanship of Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister of State(IC) Power, Coal, NRE and
Mines.
2. The List of the participants is enclosed at Annexure.
3. At the outset, Chairman and members of the Committee paid homage to those who laid down their lives in
discharging their duties in Coal Mining Industry since the last meeting of the Standing Committee on Safety in Coal
Mines.
4. Welcoming the members of the Standing Committee on Safety in Coal Mines, Secretary Coal requested
Adviser (P) to make brief presentation covering the agenda that was circulated.
5. Confirmation of the minutes of the 40th Meeting: The minutes of the 40th Meeting of the Standing
Committee on Safety in Coal Mines held on 22nd February, 2016 were confirmed unanimously.
6. Adviser (Projects), MOC made a PowerPoint presentation on the status of safety, action taken report (ATR)
on the recommendations of the previous meeting and the progress made in different aspects of safety issues since the
last meeting of the Committee. During the presentation, the members discussed at length the root causes of the fatal
accidents and steps required to avoid recurrence of such accidents.
(a) Root cause analysis of mine accident :
• Dr. B K Rai, representative of BMS, mentioned that recurrence of mine accidents is due to
inadequate root cause analysis. He suggested that actual cause of accident needs to be identified
thorough proper enquiry by the competent authority without any bias.
• Shri Nathulal Pandey, representative of HMS, mentioned that actual root causes are rarely revealed
in the accident enquiry system. He suggested that the aim of accident enquiry should be fact-finding
rather than responsibility fixing so that root cause of mine accident is identified and properly
analysed to avert recurrence.
• Shri Manas Mukherjee, representative of CITU, mentioned that all near-miss incidents should also
be thoroughly enquired to find out the root causes. He further mentioned that solution rests on pro-
active risk management and strengthening of Safety Committee at mine level. This needs
involvement of all employees, both departmental and contractual, in assessing the risk management
process.
• Shri C J Joseph, representative of AITUC, mentioned that risk assessment based Safety Management
Plan (SMP) needs to be formulated and implemented in true spirit to find out root causes of a mine
accident. He reiterated the need for strengthening Pit Safety Committee and Workman Inspectors for
improving safety in mines.
• Shri V P Singh, representative of Coal Mines Officers Association of India (CMOAI), also reiterated
6|Page
the need for strengthening of Pit Safety Committee institution to improve safety in mines. He
mentioned that for identifying the root cause the enquiry should focus on fact finding instead of
fixing responsibility.
• Dr. P.K. Sarkar, DDG (HQ), representing DGMS, mentioned that DGMS conducts accident enquiry
of all fatal accidents as per requirement of statute and also certain types of serious accidents
involving explosives and some major unsafe incidents. He agreed that during fatal accident enquiry
facts are not revealed by the concerned for identifying the root cause of the accident. The accidents
do not happen overnight and there is often, a history, which can be corroborated only through
recording and analysing the near miss incidents and the circumstances prevailing prior to and during
the course of accident. He further mentioned that present emphasis is on self-regulation; therefore,
enquiry of serious accidents should be conducted by respective International Safety Organisations
(ISOs).
• Secretary (Coal) desired to know whether such enquiries could be held through third party agencies
having expertise in safety matters.
• Director (Tech), CIL mentioned that Safety Committee and Workman Inspectors shall be utilized for
conducting enquiry into serious accidents and near miss incidents to prevent recurrence of mine
accidents instead of engaging third party agencies. TU representatives also reiterated the views
expressed by Director (T), CIL.
• Secretary (Coal) concluded that root cause analysis of all mine accidents should not only be a mere
ritual rather it should be done more seriously by officials of DGMS and ISOs of coal companies. He
further emphasized that the Pit Safety Committees must be strengthened and serious accidents and
near-miss incidences should also be enquired into thoroughly by the members of Safety Committee
and Workman Inspectors of respective mines in order to understand the root causes of accidents and
to inculcate the safety culture in the workforce.
(Action: DG, DGMS/Chairman CIL/CMD’s All Coal Companies)
(b) Safety of contractor workers& Vocational Training:
• Dr. B K Rai, BMS, mentioned that safety of contractor workers is not given due importance by the
management; proper training is not being imparted to them. In response it was mentioned that
adequate care is being taken for imparting training to contractor workers by coal companies
however, due to frequent change in the contractors, it cannot be ensured that same workers are
engaged by the new contractor.
• Shri M K Mukherjee, CITU, pointed out that frequent change of contractual workers is the root
cause of mine accidents.
• Shri Nathulal Pandey, HMS, mentioned that Initial Medical Examinations (IME) / Periodical
Medical Examinations (PME) of contractual employees are not being done properly and they are not
imparted proper training.
• Shri C J Joseph, AITUC, desired that quality training should be imparted to contractor workers.
• All TU members emphasized the need for revamping of existing vocational training (VT) centres
for imparting quality training to employees for enhancement of their knowledge, skill and safety
awareness keeping in view advancement in level of mechanization. They requested the management
7|Page
of coal companies to post competent officers who can take interest in training and improving safety
of the workers and working conditions. It was also proposed that all the Vocational Training
Centres (VTC) should be equipped with simulator based training of workers for improving safety
consciousness.
• Shri C J Joseph, AITUC, mentioned that the existing Mine Vocational Training Rules (MVTR) -
1966 are outdated and does not suit the requirement of the present day mining operations.
Therefore, these rules need to be amended by DGMS at the earliest. In response Dr. Sarkar, DDG
mentioned that a review of VTR is under process.
• It was noted that there is a considerable delay in the formulation of new Vocational Training Rules.
Secretary (Coal) desired that DGMS should formulate a draft proposal in this context and send the
same to all stakeholders for finalization of new VT Rules. He further desired that all the existing
VTCs should be strengthened for imparting quality training to employees. CIL Chairman was asked
to extend all possible help required by DGMS in the formulation of the draft of Vocational Training
Rules.
(Action : DG,DGMS/Chairman CIL)
(c ) Improvement of Medical facilities in coal companies:
• Dr. B.K. Rai, BMS, mentioned that most of company’s hospitals are defunct and there is a huge
shortage of trained nurses and other paramedical staff. He also desired that medical facilities being
provided to employees of coal companies need to be improved.
• Shri S.K.Pandey, BMS, mentioned that coverage of diseases under purview of PME should be
revised and new diseases being caused due to vibrations of the machines, stress generated due to
work environment etc. should also be considered for inclusion in the context of PME. He further
mentioned that basic equipment for carrying out PME and IME is also not being maintained properly
in the hospitals of coal companiesinspite of repeated requests.
• Shri C.J. Joseph, AITUC desired that section 25(1) of the Mines Act-1952 should be modified and
list of notified diseases should be amended so that suitable changes in forms P & P-1 regarding IME
& PME respectively could be made.
(Action :Chairman CIL/CMD’s All Coal Companies)
(d) Shortage of statutory manpower:
• Shri Nathulal Pandey, HMS, mentioned that accidents are increasing due to shortage of statutory
manpower. In CIL there is a shortage of 21% considering in all categories of executives and
supervisors. This includes a shortage of about 20% in the category of over men and 21% in mining
sirdar. He requested that the available statutory qualified persons should be engaged against the
vacancies in order to reduce the shortage in short term.
• Shri C J Joseph, AITUC, mentioned that shortage of competent persons as per statute should be
filled up for safe operation in mines.
• Secretary (Coal) desired to know from DGMS, about the level of mechanization of mining methods
considered for assessing the requirement of statutory supervisors to be deployed at mine. Since, it
was on the basis of low level of mechanization in the past, he desired that the statutory norms of the
requirement of statutory manpower should be revisited taking into account the advancement in
mining technology particularly in opencast mines and mechanized underground mines.
• Dr. Sarkar, DDG (HQ), mentioned that the Coal Mines Regulation-1957 is under amendment which
8|Page
will take into account the requirement of statutory manpower keeping in view the present level of
mechanization.
(e) Man Riding System:
• Shri S K Pandey mentioned that installation of man riding systems should be expedited as the same
is pending for a long time.
(f) Expenditure on R&D:
• In regard to the utilization of safety budget, it was observed that though there is no shortage of
resources for safety purposes, however, only 72% of the budget provision was spent by CIL in 2015-
16. Shri C J Joseph, mentioned that expenditure on R&D projects on safety and conservation aspects
should be enhanced. Also coal companies were directed to look into the safety budgets and their
proper utilization.
(g) Strata Management:
• Shri S K Pandey, BMS, observed that roof and side fall accidents are increasing because of
improper implementation of the strata control techniques. He desired that all strata control cells
should be strengthened for preventing mine accidents due to roof and side fall.
(h) First Aid Competition:
• Shri C J Joseph, AITUC, mentioned that training of workmen in first aid is highly important in
saving the life of a person involved in any accident. It is therefore necessary to revive the first aid
training in mines and also to have a national level competition for updation of knowledge and skill
of employees in this area.
• Dr. P.K. Sarkar also endorsed the views on strengthening first-aid training in mines.
(Action :DG,DGMS/Chairman CIL/CMD’s All Coal Companies)
(i) Security of explosive magazines:
• Shri S K Pandey, BMS, pointed out that Protocol in this regard is not being implemented in true
spirit. He desired that the matter may be taken up for enhancing security of explosive magazines by
all the coal companies.
(Action :CMD’sAll Coal Companies)
(j) Parallel Police enquiry in case of mine accident:
• Shri V P Singh, CMOAI, referred to harassment of mining officials by local Police in the event of
any mine accident. In this context, he mentioned that verdict of different high courts are being
deliberately overlooked by Police. He requested Secretary (Coal) to intervene in this matter so that
double enquiry for same offence under the Mines Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC) is avoided and
harassment of mining officials is stopped.
• Shri C J Joseph, AITUC, desired that local authority should take requisite permission and/or intimate
MoC before prosecuting any coal mine owner and permission of respective CMD for prosecuting
Agent and/or Manager, who are held responsible for any mine accident.
• Adviser (P) mentioned that this issue was discussed earlier a number of times in the meetings of the
Standing Committee on Safety and Ministry of Coal had written to the Chief Secretaries of Coal
Mining States for appropriate action in the matter. However, a view was expressed by many of the
States that Mines Act and IPC are two different statutes and they cannot stop taking action as
requested by MoC.
• Citing the judgments of Hon’ble Odisha & Jharkhand High Court, Shri Nathulal Pandey, HMS,
9|Page
expressed that parallel enquiry in the event of any mine accident should be discontinued. In this
regard, he requested Secretary (Coal) to intervene in this matter for redressal of harassment of
mining officials by Local Police.
(Action :MOC)
7. In regard to improving the hospital management system Hon’ble Minister directed that:
• A Committee shall be constituted with two CMDs (Shri Gopal Singh, CMD, CCL & BCCL, Shri R
R Mishra, CMD, WCL & ECL), Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS), CIL and two TU members
for suggesting modalities for improving medical facilities in the existing hospitals and dispensaries
of CIL and its subsidiaries. In this context, he directed that the said committee shall visit Narayana
Hridyalaya Hospital, Bengluruto get first-hand experience regarding efficient management of health
care system with low cost. Further, a protocol may be developed in consultation with AIIMS, New
Delhi and the same should be implemented in a time bound manner.
(Action :Chairman CIL)
• Hon’ble Minister directed that no compromise shall be made on health issues of employees for
providing better health care facilities; the possibility of augmentation of health care services through
expert outsourced agencies may also be explored.
(Action: Chairman CIL/CMD’s All Coal Companies)
• Hon’ble Minister directed CIL to examine the demand of TUs for extension of additional ex Gratia
benefit of Rs. five lakh to the dependent of deceased contractor worker in line with the payment
made to dependent of departmental employees.
• Hon’ble Minister expressed his concern regarding air born dust in mines. He was of the view that
even in the opencast mines of Australia the air born dust in mines is an issue and it is being tackled
through effective water spraying and proper maintenance of haul roads. He directed all CMDs of
coal companies to pay special attention in controlling the air borne dust in mining areas for
improving the environment conditions.
• Hon’ble Minister further expressed his concern about the sustenance of coal mining operations
particularly in view of the low demand situation for coal globally. He mentioned that it is
imperative to go into the issue of cost effectiveness of production of coal.
8. Concluding the discussions, Secretary (Coal), emphasized that concerted and sustained
efforts are required for enhancement of safety standards in coal mines. He drew the attention to
the safety status in the coalmines of Australia for adopting them as benchmark by CIL and other
coal companies for improving safety in their mines. He urged upon the CMDs of CIL and other
subsidiaries to pay more attention to the safety matters as discussed in the meeting and put all
sincere efforts in improving the situation in mines.
9. The meeting ended with Vote of thanks to the Chair.

(ii) Non-transport M/c- 12.73%
(iii) Haulage and Winding-12.73%
• Contractual Workmen- 45.6% of total fatalities (ECL, MCL & NCL)
• Departmental Workmen- 54.4% of total fatalities (SECL, WCL, ECL)
Severity of Causes:
• Major Accident i.e. Dump slide at Rajmahal OCP caused 16.9% of total fatalities
Mitigative measures being adopted:
1. Preparation and implementation of Risk assessment based Safety Management Plans
(SMPs) for all OC mines of CIL.
2. Preparation and implementation of Risk assessment based site specific Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) for various operations related to OB Dumping.
3. Preparation and implementation of “Principal Hazard Management Plan (PHMP)”.
4. Preparation and implementation of “Triggered Action Response Plan (TARP)”.
5. Use of suitable device for monitoring the stability of OB Dump.
6. Establishment of Geo-Technical Cell for monitoring efficacy of safety in OB Dump.
• Man-Machine interface (Tipper/Dumper, Non-transport Machinery, Electricity)-

47.7% of total fatalities
1. Formulation and implementation of Mine-specific Traffic Rules.
2. Training of Contractor’s Workers involved in Coal & OB HOE jobs.
3. Training on Simulators to dumper & tipper operators.
4. Lighting arrangement using high mast towers for increasing level of illumination.
5. Fitment of Proximity Warning Devices, Rear view mirrors and camera, Audio-Visual Alarm
(AVA), Automatic Fire Detection & Suppression system etc in Dumpers / Tippers.
6. Ergonomically designed seats & AC Cabins for operators’ comfort.
7. GPS based Operator Independent Truck Dispatch System (OITDS) in large OCPs for
tracking movement of HEMMs inside OC mine for avoiding queuing / decongestion.
• Roof &Side fall in UG mines caused 17% of total fatalities

1. Elimination of manual loading.
2. Adoption of Mass Production Technology(CM&PSLW) in amenable underground mines.
(Annexure-4 Page-91)
3. Scientifically determined Rock Mass Rating (RMR) based Support System.
4. Strengthening of Strata Control Cell for monitoring efficacy of strata support system.
5. Roof bolting by using mechanized Drilling for Roof Bolting.
6. Use of Resin capsules in place of Cement capsules.
7. Use of modern Strata Monitoring Instruments such as Convergence recorder, Tale-Tell,
Borehole Extensometer, Loadcell etc.
8. Imparting quality training to support crews & front-line mine officials.

Analysis of major accidents that occurred during last one year
1. COAL INDIA LIMITED:
A. Fatal accident occurred on 01.02.2017 at Baherabandh UG Project, Hasdeo Area,

SECL.
Site of Accident: 80 Rise / 37 Level West at a distance of about 1 m from face in 40 LW

Dev. District.
Brief description of the of accident: On 01/02/2017 in Relay / 1st Shift, Late Besahu-
Driller & Late Rambharose- Support Mistry working as Driller, carried the drill machine
into the face and Late Sahdeo- Support Mistry working as Dresser carried a small local
made spade into the 80 R / 37 LW face. Shri Lakhan- Driller of that face drilling gang
was some distance behind them. Suddenly, a massive sandstone piece measuring about
4.2 m X 3.07 m X 0.25 m fell down from roof in the face at about 1.50 PM. Late Besahu,
Late Rambharose and Late Sahdeo got trapped under the massive sandstone piece and
succumbed to their injury.
Technical analysis of the accident:The following facts and contributory factors were
established:
a. Five rounds of blasting were carried in different faces including 80 R / 37 LW which

were completely unsupported.
b. Support of these faces was not done before five rounds of drilling and blasting were
carried. Neither the roof bolts were jammed in the holes drilled in roof in 80 R / 37
LW.
c. On receiving instruction of Colliery Manager, either fencing of 80 R / 37 LW face or
stopping the victims from entering 80 R / 37 LW was not ensured.
d. General Shift Overman supervises the roof bolts supporting job regularly. On the
fateful day, the supporting work started quite late. UDM operators were directed for
drilling roof holes as required but steps were not taken to fence the places which were
unsupported till then.
e. There was practice of drilling holes as soon as any face becomes empty without
waiting for necessary instructions. Roof fall has occurred that time and the victims got
trapped.
f. Normally, Dresser moves along with Mining Sirdar for thorough inspection and
dressing of all work places. If the instruction of Colliery Manager had been
communicated to face drilling gang and the Dresser, at least the Dresser would not
have gone to remove the small quantity of coal left in the toe of the face with the
small spade.
g. Implementation of SSR in all the shifts were not put into practice in the mine.
h. Knowing about supports lag of about 30 m in total, sufficient nos. of roof bolt packing
persons were not provided.

9. K K Tripathi, Sr. Mgr (Min)/ Colliery Mgr. Warning letter issued.
B. Fatal accident occurred on 25/07/2017 at Kuardi-Tirat UG Mine, Satgram Area,

ECL.
Site of accident: 11 Dip / 23 West Level pumping station.
Brief description of accident: On 25.07.2017, the Nonia Jore, a tributary to the Damodar
River, was overflowing above withdrawal level and even after 11:00 AM it was above
danger level. The deployment of mine workers was ceased by mine management. The
team of three persons; namely Overman, Sri Chandi Charan Chatterjee, Explosive
Carrier, Sri Maniruddin Mia & SDL Operator Sri Bishwanath Bouri went down the mine
at about 05:45 PM. After inspecting the pump at 44L/7Dip, they were returning back.
Suddenly, huge inrush of water from the rise side took place causing tumbling of all three
persons. Sri Chandi Charan, Overman & Sri Maniruddin Mia, Explosive carrier any how
managed to hold the power cable & escaped from there having little bit injury but Sri
Bishwanath Bouri, SDL Operator couldn’t be able to manage himself & got flown away
by the major force of incoming water current.
Technical analysis of the accident: The following facts and contributory factors were
established:
a. There was heavy rain in the area since last two to three days. On the day i.e.
25.07.2017, the authority of Panchet & Maithon Dam (situated on the upstream side
of Damodar River) released huge water in the order of about one lac Cusec. The
Nonia Jore which was already saturated with heavy rain could not be able to discharge
61 | P a g e
it quickly to the Damodar River. Therefore, back flushing of water from Damodar
River took place which caused the sudden rise of water level in the Nonia Jore.
b. In the morning of 25.07.2017, water level in the Nonia Jore was above withdrawal
level & accordingly coal production was totally suspended by the mine management
barring anybody to go down the mine as there was apprehension of danger of inrush
of water to the mine workings.
c. In the meantime, it was reported that one big tree near 5 No. colony was uprooted &
water was in rushing to the mine through this cracks/pothole. The same was filled by
mine authority till 02:00 PM through JCB. Inspection of the low lying areas were
continued by the mine management for search of waterlogging & repeated potholing.
d. At about 04:45 PM, there was discussion between the Agent, Colliery Manager &
Safety Officer about the condition of the pump located belowground near 44L/7Dip &
they all were concerned about drowning of the said pump. Ultimately, decision was
taken by local mine management to inspect & assess the condition of the said pump
belowground.
e. Accordingly, Assistant Manager of the mine arranged to have inspection &
assessment of the said pump by a team of overman, Sri Chandi Charan Chatterjee,
explosive Carrier, Sri Maniruddin Mia, & SDL operator, Sri Bishwanath Bouri. The
aforesaid team went down the mine at about 05:45 PM (2nd Shift). At about 06:20
PM, it was reported by banks man, Islam Mian that huge inrush of water to the
belowground workings took place.
Status of enquiry:
Enquiry is completed.
Action taken:
Warning will be issued to the executives, Sri S. Kundu, Colliery Manager, S. Sarkar,
Asst. Manager & B K Singh, Safety Officer.
2. SCCL : Analysis of major accidents that occurred during last 1 year:
There was no any major accidents during last 1 year.

3. NLCIL:
Analysis of major accidents that occurred during last one year.

recommendations of 11th National Conference for Safety in Mines by incorporating X-
Ray Chest, Audiometry, Spirometry and 12-Lead ECG.
4.Further Mitigation measures undertaken against Occupational Health hazard and Risk
in subsidiaries of CIL:
a) Air Pollution control measures:
• The dust is controlled at source by installation of fixed sprinklers at CHPs, coal stock
yards, weighbridges and along transportation roads. In major CHPs, fixed sprinklers have
been provided at the transfer points and bunkers.
• Mobile water sprinkler are also deployed along the haul roads;
• In addition, effective dust suppression has been achieved through water sprinkling by
mobile water tankers along the coal transportation roads and haul roads. Further, effective
plantation in the mine lease area has been done to arrest the propagation and dispersion of
dust significantly.
79 | P a g e
• CIL and subsidiaries are having drills fitted with wet drilling and dust extractors in order
to control generation of dust.
• More & more efforts for more coal being transported by conveyors / rails to minimise
generation of dust by reducing road transportation.
• The quality of ambient air in and around the mine is monitored every fortnight as per
Environment (Protection) Amendment to ensure minimum adverse health risk to mine
employees and settlement in the vicinity.
• Roads are black-topped, coal carrying trucks are optimally loaded and covered with
tarpaulin. Further, road side plantation is also carried out.
b) Water pollution Control measures:
• The Effluent from the mines is treated in settling tank before discharging in natural
course. The treated effluent is used for supply of water to the residential areas, adjoining
villages and industrial uses like water sprinkling in coal transfer points and other places of
dust generation, good housekeeping and plantation for overall improvement of the
environment.
• Oil & grease traps are installed and operated in workshop to separate & collect oil &
grease from workshop effluent.
• Effluent treatment plants (ETP) are installed and operated efficiently for treatment of
workshop effluent & CHP effluent.
• Sewage treatment plant (STP) is installed and operated for treatment of large domestic
sewage.
• The quality of the final effluent is monitored in terms of the relevant Indian standards,
before it is discharged to natural drainage or in open land to minimise health risks to
employees and the surrounding.
c) Noise pollution Control measures:
Noise pollution is created due to operation of HEMM deployed and Workshops, CHPs and
due to blasting operations. This is reduced by-
• Proper maintenance of equipment to minimize vibration;

• Green belt provided around the mine as well as residential area;
• Stress on use blasting free technology of Surface Miner in OC mines and, Continuous
Miner in UG mines.
• Ear Muff or Ear Plugs provided to Workers at highly noisy areas to prevent aliment
relating to hearing impairment.
d) Hazardous Waste Management –

• Storage protocols are being followed in all the stores.
• Detoxification of oil barrels is being done by pneumatic pressure/rinse/wash with
solvents.
80 | P a g e
• Hazardous waste (burnt oil from machines and used batteries) is being disposed off
through the registered recycling agencies of CPCB.
• Bio medical and other hazardous wastes from the medical units are being disposed as per
the laid down methods /procedures.
2. SCCL:
• Injuries due to accidents constitute the greatest health hazard among mine workers
and pneumoconiosis, caused by the inhalation of dust, is the major occupational
disease. In addition, adverse environmental conditions such as high temperature and
humidity, changes in Atmospheric pressure, poor lighting, excessive noise and
vibration, poor air quality, ionizing radiation, and the accumulation of dust and
poisonous gases make mining one of the most dangerous of occupations.
• In SCCL, all Periodical Medical Examination (PME) Centers have been equipped
with required medical appliances and personnel. Doctors, in charge of PME centers
have been trained in occupational health. Due importance is given for detection of
occupational diseases at early stages and all the workers are undergoing PME.
Notified occupational diseases, if any, are being reported scrupulously.
• Occupational Diseases Board was constituted, regular meetings are held and its
recommendations are followed/ implemented. All the doctors working in PME centers
are trained in Occupational diseases.
• There are 10 PME centers. Comprehensive health cards for each workman integrating
their working conditions with their health profile are being prepared. IME is being
done to all departmental and contract workmen before deploying them for duty, PME
is being done to the employees below 45 years of age once in every 5 years and once
in two and half years to all those employees above forty five years of age.
• A study on occupational health management was conducted in SCCL by Ex-DMS
(Medical) and report submitted thereupon was circulated among Area General
Managers for implementation.
3. NLC:
Periodical Medical Examination is conducted for all the employees once in three year. No
occupational diseases are detected
