mandatory norms in the form of movie which must be followed by each person inside the
premises of the company. The person who is not following the company norms it is
considered as violation of the company norms and that person may be taken into custody.
After the movie, we were taken into the passage to enter inside the company. There were
hoardings and banners indicating certain norms of the company on both sides of the passage.
There were some safety mandatory norms like environmental Policy, quantity policy,
occupational and health policy, road safety policy, safe assembly point and the site layout of
