PUNE: The first
edition of Industrial Safety Summit with an aim to make factories accident free
kicked off in Pune today. The summit, organised in collaboration with
the Federation of Chakan Industries, SAMA and Schmersal India Pvt in
Pimpri near Pune, seeks to deliberate on and create solutions for all-round
safety of the stakeholders, an official statement said.
The objective of this exercise is to emphasise the importance
of safety of industrial workers and have zero accident in factories. This
one-day summit covers topics like behavioural and machine safety, material
handling and PNG safety. There is a need to focus on secondary steel
sector producing steel through electric arc furnace route as it contributes to
over 65 per cent of the total finished long steel products output, All India
Induction Furnaces Association (AIIFA) today said.
"We all know the government has set an ambitious
target of producing 300 Million Tonnes of steel and this industry can play a
vital role in achieving this," AIIFA General Secretary Kamal Agarwal said. The
industry which produces steel through the cost- effective electrical arc
furnace route has always played an important link in the overall supply chain
of steel in India, he said and added the sector needs focus of the government.
While the existing integrated steel plants have gone for major
modernisation-cum-expansion to increase the production of crude steel,
"the secondary steel sector consisting of electric arc furnace (EAF) and
induction furnace (IF) have remained either stagnant or on the down
trend," an industry member said. Power Mech Projects today said the
company has bagged eight orders worth Rs 381 crore for infrastructure
development.
"The company has received Letter of Award, Letter of
Intent/Work orders worth Rs 381 crore," Power Mech Projects said in a BSE
filing.
