Are Industries too Complacent on Safety Norms

yes,complacancy has been in the blood of indians and we should take lessons from the incident that happen. "everyone is accountable " when this will be embarked in each and every citizen of our country then n then only we can prosper and stay safe.

Yes   Biswabhusan.. i am absolutely with your  comment, its again failure of our safety machinery  and inadequate  safety facilities  resulting in Jaipur event.. its really big question.....on one side we are talking so much about nations safety and security what about all this kind of internal  industrial  safety measures...

Fire Accidents don’t just happen. They caused. Whatever may be the reason for fire, but the real cause behind every fire outbreak is carelessness, negligence or even ignorance on the part of the people. If we are careful, the fire accidents could be avoided. The spread of fire could be controlled and loss minimized.

Fire has always been a serious hazard with devastating results. Fire destroys the life of people and property earned with persistent efforts and sacrifice in a moment of carelessness causing loss of life, injuries and heavy damage. The loss due to fire cannot be replaced. The fire accidents with devastating results could be avoided if we are careful.

The following facts have been exposed in the fire incident at IOC – Jaipur:

1. There were no adequate foam and other required fire fighting materials or fire experts at the site to control or prevent the fire from spreading from one tank to the other. The Specialised fire fighting teams were called from Mumbai, Mathura and Delhi.
2. The leakage was discovered at around 4 pm and the fire took place at around 7 pm. Enough time to have taken corrective measures.
3. When there was possibility for an occasion of fire, why were the tanks made so near that it caught fire one by one making everyone helplessly wait and watch till all the fuel burn out.
4. Are there no advanced technologies in place to suppress / prevent fire.

 The State and the Company have announced compensation for the death / injury caused in the accident. But what about the death and diseases that are going to occur in future because of the pollution caused in this accident.

 Probably the company will recover the loss from Insurance. But, what about the Environment and Society as there is manifold loss being made due to the negligence or over-confidence or complacency of these industries.
