Preparedness is the backbone of safety, and at Cairn, we believe in staying ready for every scenario, no matter how challenging. Regular mock drills not just strengthen our emergency response systems but also ensure seamless collaboration across teams and partners. On August 25, 2025, We conducted a large-scale Emergency Management Team (EMT) level mock drill at the RJ North MPT utility area, simulating a boiler explosion scenario. The exercise brought together Cairn employees, business partners and statutory local bodies, creating a holistic environment to test preparedness and response capabilities.
The drill began with the swift activation of the Incident Response Team (IRT), led by Mr. Hiren Parikh, IM-MPT and was later escalated to the EMT under the leadership of Mr. Shailendra Kumar Jetley, BU Director- RJ North, in line with Cairn’s Emergency Management Procedure. Both teams displayed calmness, professionalism and promptness in their response. Seamless coordination between the IRT and EMT enabled smooth decision-making, efficient mobilisation of resources and effective engagement with multiple stakeholders.
The exercise not only demonstrated Cairn’s strong emergency response framework but also highlighted areas for continuous improvement such as muster timings and communication systems. With active participation from business partners and flawless escalation from IRT to EMT, the mock drill reinforced Cairn’s culture of safety and commitment to protecting people, assets and the environment. The successful conduct of this drill stands as a testament to Cairn’s readiness for real-life scenarios and its focus on continuous learning and improvement.
