Inspection of major industries completed, says official
District Fire Safety Officer Chintada Krupavaram has asked all the 38 major industries to accord a top priority to maintenance of the fire safety equipment and their constant monitoring to prevent mishaps.
Citing the industrial mishaps owing to the poor maintenance of safety equipment during the closure of factories during the COVID-induced lockdown last year, he said the factory managements must ensure the functioning of fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and fire hydrants among others.
“Inspection of all major industries including pharmaceutical companies were completed last week. A few companies were found to have failed in meeting the norms and standards prescribed by the Andhra Pradesh State Disaster Response and Fire Safety Department. We have issued notices to them and submit a report explaining the steps taken to ensure absolute safety on the respective premises,” Mr. Krupavaram told
