Safety. Environment & Outages

Safety is Job One!

Electricity is a necessity in today's world. It powers everything from our morning coffee to the video games that keep children entertained. But electricity can be dangerous. It travels at speeds exceeding 134,000 miles per hour and exposure to just a few amps for a nanosecond can stop the human heart.

At NTPC, safety is job one. There is no room for compromise. Our highest priority is the safety of our employees, contractors and the public.

We want to share some safety tips to keep you, your family and your co-workers safe around electricity.
