The New Plate Mill (NPM) department of SAIL, Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has undertaken a series of proactive safety initiatives aimed at reducing hazards and boosting operational efficiency.
The department has installed a Digital Danger Cautionary Lights on EOT cranes by a team led by Mr. Amit Rawat, DGM (NPM).
These lights project bright, visual warning spots on the floor, clearly indicating the crane’s movement path and the hook’s location.
Particularly useful in high-noise environments where audible alarms may not be effective, these visual alerts serve as a proactive safety measure, helping workers avoid crane operating zones and thus preventing accidents during material handling operations.
The project was executed under the close supervision of Mr. Suman Kumar, Senior Manager, DSO (NPM), under the guidance of Mr. R.K. Bisare, CGM (NPM & SPP) and Ms. Asha Sunil Kartha, CGM (Safety & Fire Services).
These additions are expected to significantly improve the safety standards at the shop floor while supporting the plant’s commitment towards a safer and more efficient working environment.
