Sai Life Sciences Sustainability Report 2020

69 We embarked on the journey of process safety in the year 2015 to develop and disseminate knowledge of safer and cleaner process technologies. The safety of our plants and processes is a critical element of our stewardship practices and allows us to protect our workforce and support business goals. We took significant steps towards improving process safety by establishing a Process Safety division and a dedicated process safety testing lab in 2015. Since then, we have developed and strengthened our expertise in this area. Over the last few years, we have added advanced testing equipment in our safety lab and established the complete bandwidth for thermal safety testing and powder safety testing. We have also added a Micro Reaction Calorimeter during the reporting period, enabling thermal screening of high-pressure reactions, including hydrogenation reaction. Our Process Safety team, which has over 50 years of combined industry experience, uses a systematic approach to identify, evaluate, and control hazards involved in each process and provide recommendations. The compilation of a process safety dossier capturing environmental, process safety and industrial hygiene aspects and risks is a ready reference for customer discussions and technology transfer and scale-up decisions, a key milestone in process development.
