1) First Indian textile company obtains certification under Occupational
Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHASAS 18001) with the consultancy support of
Textiles Committee
M/s. Summer
India Textiles Pvt. Ltd. at Tiruchengode in Tamilnadu, became the first Indian textile
company, to have been certified under Occupational Health and Safety standard (OHASAS
18001) in the country. The Textiles Committee has provided consultancy and guided
the unit in achieving this certification.
OHASAS 18001,
which came into existence in the year 1999, is an independent, voluntary and verifiable
standard (modelled on ISO 9000/ISO 14000 standards) aimed at ensuring the development and
implementation of systems for ensuring occupational health and safety at the workplace.
By implementing this system/standard, the manufacturing company would demonstrate
its commitment towards the occupational health and safety issues which would result in not
only better working environment leading to improved productivity but also compliance to
national statutes and international market requirements.
With the
phasing out of quotas from 1st January 2005, the ability of Indian exporters to various
voluntary international standards, including occupational health and safety would
influence the market access, to a significant extent. In fact, existence of these
independent standards at a manufacturing place is one of the criterion being used by the
foreign buyers for selection of vendors. Therefore, implementation of this standard
coupled with other standards such as ISO 9000 Quality Management Systems, ISO 14000
Environmental Management Systems would greatly enhance the capability of Indian textile
manufacturer/exporter to access the international markets in a more effective manner.
Realizing the
importance of facilitating the Indian industry in meeting these standards, the Textiles
Committee has launched the consultancy of OHASAS 18001 during the year 2001. During
this short span of two years, 8 textile companies are using the services of the Committee
in implementation of this OHASAS standard. In addition, 220 companies have availed
of the consultancy services of the Textiles Committee in implementation of standards
related to quality (ISO 9000), environment (ISO 14000) and social responsibility (SA
8000).
Gaining inspiratiCon from the Summer India Textiles Mills
an integrated system for ISO –9000, ISO-14000 & SA-8000 is picking up very fast
in South Indian textile clusters mainly because of insistence of foreign
buyers. The integrated management systems are proved to be a powerful tool for market
access and better business opportunities.
