51st Safety Week at WPS

The National Safety Week is an important event at WPS with safety being an essential aspect of manufacturing businesses. A safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and illness, but can also lower injury/illness costs, increase productivity and quality, and raise employee morale. In other words, safety is good for business. The theme this time around - "Nurture young minds - Develop safety culture" - is something we have tried to inculcate in our activities this year.

This year's activities started off with our employees undertaking a 'Safety Oath' on the first day of the National Safety Week followed by forklift and SCBA safety demo training on the next day.

In the subsequent days, we also organized safety quizzes, undertook a mock fire drill for security staff, conducted a safety exhibition, had a fire extinguisher race, organized a blood donation camp at a client’s site and on the last day of the week, we held a speech competition on topics of safety.

Khande Navmi Puja

The ‘Khande Navmi Puja’ is an annual tradition we follow at WPS during Navratri, where the machinery in the Factory is worshipped. The same Puja is held at our other installation sites as well. On this occasion, all the machinery and instruments are thoroughly cleaned and worshipped. This tradition is also known as ‘Ayudha Puja’. This Puja is considered to be a meaningful custom that focuses specific attention to one’s profession and its related tools and connotes that a divine force is working behind it to perform well and for getting the proper rewards. We made sure to follow all the Covid-19 safety protocols while performing the Puja so that we can be safe, healthy and blessed!

COVID Final Vaccination Drive

Getting both doses of the Covid-19 vaccination is absolutely essential to be protected against the infectious disease. We truly care about the health and well-being of our employees which is why we arranged a Covid-19 vaccination drive for their second dose. The first vaccination drive was conducted on the 10th of June 2021.

The latest vaccination drive held at our facility is our way of safeguarding our employees and contributing to the national campaign to prevent the further spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The goal was to improve individual working style, enhance work satisfaction and boost productivity to build a stronger team.
