#NIFS " Ensure compliance with fire safety norms for a successful fire prevention program" Article By Dr. Yashoda Tammineni, HOD, HSE Dept.

Fire can be rare with proper care

The incidence of fires and explosions has increased in number over the years and authorities are still failing to implement policies and review to minimize the incidence rate. In spite of several incidences enumerated earlier, the rate of fire accidents is not coming down the nationwide. The incidence of a fire breaking at ONGC is not fresh news. There were several incidences earlier recorded in their operations in drilling activities and some in the treatment plants themselves. Of late the latest fire broken at Uran ONGC plant has taken about 5 lives causing heavy damage to the plant.

It’s reminded time again the preventive measures that are to be taken care of these fire accidents have to be strictly implemented and a thorough assessment has to be reviewed to minimize the incidence rate. Most of the fire accidents reveal the disguising status of implementation of fire safety and drives attention amongst the public.
