In view of recent incidents related to high-risk processes involving O&M (Operations and Maintenance) vendors, we undertook an important initiative to ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of our operations. As part of this effort, we conducted PSM audit of O&M vendors involved in all high hazard processes.

For this, the scope and objectives of the audit, we made the audit checklist and schedule. Our aim is to assess each vendor's adherence to industry best practices and regulatory requirements, ultimately strengthening our partnership with them.

Findings of the audit was presented in top management meetings which helped in taking policy level decisions and improved the vendor performance in field of Process Safety
