As a next level to NSRS, NSCI has developed another scheme to recognise and reward for demonstrating excellence in Occupational Health and Safety Management System for complying more than NSRS Five Golden stars requirement. The safety shield assessment will be one step ahead of 5 Golden stars recognition and only those companies who win 5 Golden stars are eligible to apply for ‘Safety Shield’. After an extensive assessment, Safety Shield is being awarded to deserving industry. The winner is awarded with Safety Shield trophy and certificate.

NSRS is the most comprehensive qualitative, quantitative assessment tool to evaluate and measure the Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (OSHE) performance. NSRS is applicable to various industry groups such as factories, construction sites, Hospitals, Hotels, Malls IT parks and other commercial buildings.

Undertaking NSRS allows the industry to demonstrate their commitment to achieving excellence in OSHE standards.

NSRS is an in-depth assessment on 8 key elements, comprising of around 88 sub-elements aimed at achieving excellence in the OSH management system. It uses questionnaire with detailed guidance for evaluation.
