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. According to a press note, the award was received by AK Bagchi, RINL’s Director (Projects) and Additional Charge Director (Operations), on behalf of RINL.

The award ceremony took place in New Delhi, where former Assam Governor, Jagdish Mukhi, presented the award.

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.
