Tata Steel OMQ Division recruits 8 women security guards

Jamshedpur, June 24: For the first time ever, Tata Steel�s OMQ Division has recruited women security guards for safety and security of its employees. Tata Steel recruited five women security guards at Noamundi and three at Joda recently.

The three women security guards are deployed at Joda Hospital and the women guards at Noamundi are deployed at the office of GM, Cooperative store and Noamundi Hospital.

These women security guards are trained in self-defense, fire safety, first aid, etiquette, and handling security instruments.

As more and more women join the mining locations, there is a need to have women security guards as it becomes easy to communicate certain problems amongst women.

This is one step to ensure safety of women in the workplace. �Times have changed. I am happy to join Tata Steel as the women security guard.

This place offers me an opportunity to grow in a field which was never meant for women earlier,� one of the new recruits Rina Behera said.�
