Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPL), a GSPC Group company, on Wednesday said it has achieved a five-star grading from the Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council.

A listed entity, GSPL underwent a detailed, quantified and objective evaluation of its occupational health and safety management system. The audit measured the organisation's performance against a number of key safety management indicators and achieved the highest rating, Atanu Chakroborty, Managing Director, said.

This audit provides organisations with a worldwide benchmark of their safety management systems against current global best practices to enable continual improvement.

Its specification was revised in 2013 to include performance measurements in two additional safety management indicators (Leadership and Continuous Improvement) which are continually assessed, alongside other indicators, throughout the audit process.

Within the revised audit, the council has placed a greater emphasis on the organisation’s approach to occupational health, employee well-being, safety culture, allocation of resources to health and safety and planning for change, all of which are considered important best practice factors.
