The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) has been honoured with the prestigious Green Tech Safety award for its commendable efforts in enhancing workplace safety during the year 2022-23.

The foundation’s jury members commended RINL for its initiatives, including the utilisation of drone technology for inspecting high-rise structures, the development of software applications to track the usage of safety harnesses, and the provision of online safety training platforms.
