  Delhi Metro gets OHSAS 18001
  
  The Delhi Metro has been awarded OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment sequence 18001) by Registro Italiano Navale India Pvt. Ltd. (RINA), Genova.
  DMRC may be the only operational metro to receive this certificate in such a short span of time. DMRC had earlier received ISO 14001.
• Metro Receives ISO 14001 Certificate
  

  Metro Receives ISO 14001 Certificate
  
  The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today received the ISO 14001 certificate for establishing an environmental management system making it the First Metro in the World to receive this certification at the construction stage of the Metro. The Certificate was received by Mr. E. Sreedharan, Managing director, DMRC from Mr. K.T. Ramakrishnan, Managing Director, Registero Italino Navale India (RINA).
  
  ISO 14001 standards have initially been adopted on the Delhi University to ISBT section and the Trinagar to Rithala section of the Delhi Metro Project. The United States-Asia Environment Programme (US-AEP), the New York Mass Rapid Transit System and the Confederation India Industry assisted the DMRC in achieving this certification within 15 months.
  
  The DMRC Corporate Culture already specifies that the Metro construction should not lead to ecological or environmental degradation and for every tree cut during the construction ten trees have been planted in advance by DMRC as compensatory afforestation. In addition Environmental impact assessments are done for every section of the Metro to ensure that the ecological balance is not disturbed by Metro construction activites.
  
  The Metro in Delhi is currently running between Shahdara and Rithala.
• MRTS: An Eco-Friendly Project

  MRTS : An Eco-Friendly Project
  
  The proposed Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), the first phase of which is slated for completion by 2005 is going to be one of the most eco-friendly projects in Delhi. With International Consultants being associated with the project the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation which is building the MRTS aims at using the latest technical know how available in Metro Systems worldwide.
  
  MRTS will result in time saving for commuters, reliable and safer journeys, reduction in atmospheric pollution, reduction in accident rates, reduced fuel consumption, reduced vehicle operating costs and increase in the average speed of road vehicles. This would result in the improvement in the quality of life making Delhi a much more attractive city for economic investment and growth.
  
  In the survey and construction stage all efforts are being made by the Corporation to save trees. Through proper care 30% of trees in the alignment have been saved and the Corporation is taking full care to ensure adequate compensatory forestry in consultation with the forest department of Delhi for all trees and shrubs affected by the construction.
  
  A detailed Environmental Impact Assessment has been done in 1994 to minimize the negative environmental impact of the Project during the construction stage of the Project. Storm water drains have been identified at various sites for drainage of wastewater from construction and sites have been earmarked at convenient locations for temporary and permanent disposal of soil arising out of tunneling and other construction works. A close check will be kept on air and noise pollution during construction and adequate rehabilitation and fire protection measures will be taken to ensure minimum inconvenience to the public.
  
  The corporation has been coordinating with various bodies to control traffic, water supply, and electricity, Telephone lines etc. that will be affected during construction.
  
  The above efforts of the corporation are aimed at providing an efficient and fast transportation system to the people of Delhi with minimum inconvenience.
  
  For every tree cut during construction the DMRC is planting 10 trees as compensatory afforestation . Around 26000 trees have been planted at Najafgard, Isapur and Rebla Khanpur.
