Being a pioneer ropeway corporate entity in India, it was natural for UBL to do benchmarking on qualitative norms pertaining to project management, operation and safety standards in the tough and not so common domain of Ropeways. UBL is primarily in the business of operating and maintaining ropeways in India. It presently operates and maintains five ropeways in India namely Mansadevi Udan Khatola and Chandidevi Udan Khatola in Hardwar, Kalidevi Udan Khatola and Ambaji Udan Khatola in Gujarat and Malampuzha Udan Khatola in Kerala. In future, there is a likelihood of simultaneously operating and maintaining many more ropeways including Girnar ropeway in Junagadh district of Gujarat. Ropeway being a public transportation mode and being of high capacity requires high level of safety and security at all times. Therefore, we need to integrate our resources with that of local administration and respective State Government in order enhance comfort and safety of the passengers. Reflection on Safety and Security Though statistics indicates ropeway as the safest means of transport (1 in 108 passenger), but incidents/ accidents do happen. Hence, there is a perennial need to maintain functional efficiency, reliability and risk protection in the use and maintenance of ropeways. More importantly the ropeways are public sites and are liable to suffer from environmentally induced threats, risks and hazards as well as human-caused occurrences, particularly in the present security environment prevailing in the country. Hence, the general and unit specific risk threat analysis is very essential to vitalize the safety and security set up. In this direction, possible reflections on safety and security of company’s ropeway sites have been considered, analyzed and standard operating guidelines is being spelled out to build up the Integrated safety and security system of company’s present and future business locations.
