Client Testimonial
EHS Officer, Specialty Chemicals Unit
“Good response from our team for the chemical spill drill and awareness session. We had a minor leak last year and this training was timely. They even explained the MSDS sheet details clearly.”
HR Coordinator, Shared Services Office
“Elion conducted ergonomics training for our office support staff. They gave tips that don’t need any budget—just posture, breaks, and seating angles. Everyone found it useful.”
Logistics Supervisor, FMCG Warehouse
“Warehouse safety training was organized at our distribution center. The module covered stacking, material flow, and emergency handling. One or two team leads found the content basic, but the newcomers appreciated it.”
Site Incharge, Metro Rail Project
“The hot work and gas cutting safety training helped us address some recent near-misses. Our fabrication contractors said it was the first time anyone explained why permits matter, not just how to fill them.”
HR Manager, Corporate Insurance Firm
“We held a training on ergonomics and workstation safety. Elion’s speaker had a practical approach—suggested small furniture changes and posture tips that didn’t cost much but helped our office staff.”
Plant Head, Frozen Foods Facility
“Elion covered cold storage safety and ammonia handling well. Some of our technicians said it was the first time they understood how to respond to leaks. We may request them for a follow-up drill.”
HR Officer, Apparel Manufacturing Unit
“Our garment unit required machine safety awareness for new joiners. Elion kept it interactive and used visuals from our own plant, which the workers related to.”
Operations Manager, Steel Trading Yard
“The crane and material handling training helped reduce near misses in our yard. The trainer also gave tips that were not in the slides, based on their field experience. That made a difference.”
Admin Manager, IT Park
“We requested a training module on emergency evacuation procedures. Elion included site-specific examples which helped. The mock drill later was well-coordinated too. Our fire wardens felt more confident after the session.”
