Safety Details & Initiatives (IOS) in Solar Plants

"I Own Safety" (IOS) Drive: This initiative includes tracking and monitoring stakeholder engagement in safety, conducting internal audits, and implementing "Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment" (HIRA) workshops.

Safety Certifications & Awards: Greenko achieved a significant milestone by securing 10 British Safety Council International Safety Awards in 2025 across its operating plants.

Operational Safety Measures:

LOTO & PTW: Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and Permits to Work (PTW) are institutionalized.

Trained Personnel: EH&S personnel are deployed at sites for hazard identification and risk abatement.

Predictive Maintenance: The company uses drone technology and thermal imaging to monitor the condition of solar panels and electrical equipment.

PPE & Training: Regular safety training is provided, and strict PPE usage is enforced.

Safety Hierarchy: The concept of "Deemed Safety Officer" and "Element Owner" is utilized to drive ownership among team members. 

Safety Performance Metrics

Safety Awards: Greenko was recognized with a Safety Award (National Level) at the Global Safety Summit 2020.

Zero Harm Goal: The "Zero Harm" drive, initiated in 2022/23, focuses on reducing on-site injuries and accidents.

Training Hours: In FY 2021-22, the company increased its per capita safety training hours by 17.39%.

Fatalities: The company reported Zero Fatalities in its FY 2021-22 Integrated Report. 

Environmental & Operational Safety Controls

Compliance: Regular monitoring of noise and air quality is conducted to adhere to CPCB guidelines.

Waste Management: A "no use of single-use plastics" policy is encouraged, and solid waste is managed via authorized third parties.

Waste Water: Rainwater harvesting is implemented, and water conservation measures are used for cleaning solar modules. 

Note: The "I Own Safety" (IOS) initiative is a core component of Greenko’s safety management framework, often resulting in high-level recognition from bodies like the British Safety Council, but specific numeric "IOS scores" for individual sites are proprietary internal met
