Vijayawada:: JSW Paints, part of the $12 billion JSW Group has taken the initiative to provide safety and sanitization training for its contractor partners across markets. In light of the heightened awareness towards hygiene and sanitization, the company sought to empower its partners under the Star Contractor Partners Program by conducting training modules on preparedness against COVID-19.

With economic activity steadily resuming post months of lockdown, adherence to safety practices by customer-facing partners such as painting contractors is crucial. The JSW Paints training module covers all precautions suggested by the World Health Organization(WHO) and Government of India regarding hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene and sanitization. The Company’s programme clearly defines the precautions that one needs to take while completing painting jobs at a customer’s site.

According to Mr. A S Sundaresan, Joint MD and CEO of JSW Paints, Consumers depend on Contractors for painting safely! It is imperative to ensure safe painting practices in Consumer’s homes. We are training our Star Contractors as per WHO and Government of India guidelines. Through this thoughtful initiative we are making the contractor community aware about the importance of maintaining hygiene, adherence to safety practices and the sanitization necessary to ensure homes are safe. We are committed to providing consumers with a safe painting experience by ensuring that they have access to a trained & certified JSW Paints contractor.”

The awareness JSW Paints has given us regarding COVID-19 has helped us a lot. They have provided us with masks and sanitizers. By showing the JSW Paints certificate, customers who were hesitant to start painting also welcomed us to start the work.

Before the lockdown we had agreed to do painting work for some customers but due to Covid-19, work had stopped with people hesitant to start painting again. After showing this Star Contractor Partner Certificate of JSW Paints and assuring customers that we will take proper precautions while painting, they allowed us to continue the work.

Due to Covid-19 we lost our work but after receiving the training and certificate from JSW Paints, we went to customers who allowed us to proceed with painting. As trained by JSW Paints, we are doing the work as per the safety guidelines by wearing masks and gloves which has impressed our customers and helped us find more work sites.

Before the certification training, we had no work but after we receiving the Certificate we started showing it customers and gained their trust to start work again.

Adapting to the new normal, contractors have enthusiastically taken the training on a video call. Post the training, these contractors give a test through dedicated call centre operatives and receive a digital certificate based on their performance.
