British Safety Council gives plant a Five Star salute, proving tyres aren’t the only things CEAT keeps inflated—so are safety standards.
Mumbai — CEAT Limited, India’s homegrown tyre giant, has once again hit the road to glory, this time cruising smoothly into a Five Star grading in the prestigious Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council. The Halol plant didn’t just roll through the audit—it aced it, earning top marks for the second time since 2016. Clearly, lightning and safety excellence can strike twice.
The comprehensive audit was no pit stop: it involved document checks, management grilling (in the nicest possible way), interviews with employees, and even sampling operational activities. Over fifty separate safety components were reviewed—proof that at CEAT, the only thing with more layers than a radial tyre is their commitment to workplace wellbeing.
Mike Robinson, CEO of the British Safety Council, cheered on the achievement, remarking that a Five Star rating isn’t just about meeting rules—it’s about running a proactive, people-first workplace where “safety is as essential as oxygen.”
Jayasankar Kuruppal, Senior VP of Manufacturing at CEAT, kept it grounded yet proud:
“Safety for us is not just a regulatory checkbox; it’s a cultural DNA. Receiving this award again shows the consistency of our team, our technology investments, and our belief that safe practices are the true tread pattern for sustainable success.”
With Halol now rejoining its siblings in Nagpur, Chennai, and Ambernath in the elite safety club, CEAT has turned the idea of “all-rounder performance” from marketing tagline into lived reality.
