Occupational Health

ITC believes that a healthy workforce is critical for the sustainable growth of an organisation.

Apart from maintaining an excellent workplace with high standards of hygiene, a strict control is exercised on noise and dust levels and the adequacy of other parameters like lighting, ventilation, etc. is ensured in accordance with national/international codes and best practices. The Company encourages a comprehensive preventive medical examination to ensure the well-being of all its employees. This helps in pre-empting occupational illness. 8,135 employees were medically examined in 2005-06 (5.4% more than in 2004-05).

In 2005-06, there was no occupation-related disease reported by any Unit of the Company.
