Welfare impact of ship recycling.
Though the ship breaking improves
National economy and plays an important role in steel
recycling, it also poses a threat to the environment and
working peoples welfare and safety. This can be overcome
With proper management. Our workers are given proper
training with respect to their job and supervised by
Qualified personnel. The nodal agency of Alang GMB has
established a workers training center at Alang, where
Laborer’s and supervisors are given training and conduct
Refresher courses time to time. We fully advocate
Environment friendly ship breaking with health prevention
making ship recycling at our Yards “GREEN RECYCLING”
Which is as close to the standards set by the International
Bodies as possible.
