BKT has announced that its Bhuj manufacturing plant has successfully achieved the coveted Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit rating, following a rigorous assessment conducted by the British Safety Council.
Announcing the news on its LinkedIn account, BKT said that the Five Star Audit is recognised globally as a best-practice benchmark in health and safety performance. The detailed evaluation involved a review of BKT’s occupational health and safety policies, processes, and practices. It also included interviews with senior management and employees, engagement with key stakeholders, and sampling of operational activities across the plant.
The five-star grading reflects BKT’s strong emphasis on safeguarding the wellbeing of its workforce while ensuring operational excellence. By attaining this rating, BKT has demonstrated its ongoing commitment to continually improving its health and safety management systems and aligning with international standards.
The British Safety Council, a leading authority on workplace health, safety and environmental management, stresses that no one should be injured or made ill through their work. BKT has echoed this philosophy by embedding a culture of prevention and care across its operations.
This achievement at the Bhuj plant is not only a recognition of BKT’s dedication to employee welfare but also a testament to the company’s vision of sustainable and responsible growth. The recognition strengthens BKT’s reputation as a manufacturer that prioritises the health, safety and wellbeing of its people while delivering on its long-term business objectives.
“We are extremely proud to have been awarded the prestigious five-star rating by the British Safety Council,” commented Rajiv Poddar, joint managing director of BKT.
“This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe, secure, and people-focused working environment. Health and safety are fundamental values at BKT and form an essential part of our corporate culture and long-term strategy.”
