Environment & Safety
Committed to Workplace Safety & Ecological
Responsibility
Safety of personnel, machinery, and quarry operations is given the highest priority at VS
Quarry. Qualified and competent certificate holders are appointed to supervise mining activities
and ensure compliance with all statutory safety requirements. Employees are provided with
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety shoes, helmets, face masks,
ear muffs, and other necessary safety gear.
To minimize dust generation, water is regularly sprinkled before drilling operations and prior
to blasting activities. Internal haul roads and nearby public roads are also watered
periodically to control dust emissions and maintain a safe working environment.
An Environment Management Cell (EMC) has been constituted under the leadership
of the Mines Manager, reporting directly to the Managing Director. The EMC meets once every
month to review environmental protection measures, plan programs, and maintain signed meeting
minutes.
As part of environmental conservation, green belt development is undertaken around the quarry
premises through systematic tree plantation to control dust, improve the local microclimate, and
enhance the aesthetic value of the area. All afforestation and environmental protection
activities are regularly monitored and reviewed by the Environment Management Cell.
