RINL Conducts Health Check-Ups for 2,000 Employees in Visakhapatnam
A big steel company in India called RINL runs a steel plant in Visakhapatnam.
For the last two months, doctors have been checking the health of the workers.
About 2,000 workers took part in these health check-ups.
The doctors measured things like blood pressure, heart rate, and blood sugar.
The check-ups happened right at the factory floors and in office buildings.
The health records are kept safe at a special centre so doctors can follow up.
Workers with health problems were told to see a doctor for more help.
The company wants workers to get regular check-ups so they stay healthy.
This helps catch health problems early before they become serious.
RINL, the corporate entity of Vizag Steel Plant, has held medical examinations on shop floors for the past two months.
Around 2,000 employees and contract workers were screened for blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar levels.
A dedicated medical team carried out the examinations at shop floors and administrative buildings.
Health screening details are maintained at the Occupational Safety and Health Record Centre (OSHRC) for documentation, monitoring and follow-up.
Employees found to have blood pressure or blood sugar issues were referred for further evaluation and medical advice.
