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.

GMR Warora had applied for NSCI Safety Shield after having rated as 5-Golden Star. Their in-depth assessment was carried out and awarded them a Safety Shield. The Shield has been presented to GMR in the NSCI Safety Award function held on 17th March, 2023 in Goa.

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. It is modelled on IS 14489-2018 Code of Practice on Occupational Health and Safety Audit, National and International best practices and is at par with international standards to achieve zero harm goals. 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. Areas for improvement are suggested in the assessment report and organisations are given 2-3 month(s) time to comply points raised in the first visit. During second visit Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA) report along with their horizontal deployment and compliance reports would be reviewed and element-wise score worked out. Based on the score obtained overall grading in percentage shall be worked out and based on the grading number of Golden Stars i.e. 1 to 5 would be allotted.
