Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Government of Uttar Pradesh, Economic
Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), Petroleum and Natural
Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), Natural Disaster Management Authority
(NDMA) and Chemical & Industrial Disaster Management (CIDM) Board in
Lucknow.
"Uttar
Pradesh is one of the largest state in India. I thank FICCI for
organizing such programs in UP and focusing on the matter of industrial
security. It is said that prevention is better than cure and this is the
reason why this conference is important as it will prove to be
beneficial for the awareness of industrial safety among people," said Naik.
Industrial Development Minister, Govt. of UP, Satish Mahana said,
"Before setting up an industry, it is more important that how we plan,
make policies and create funds for disaster management. In the
Industrial plan, how industrial safety training will be given under PPP.
The government can give directions but society has to work on it.
People lose everything within seconds due to lack of proper training, so
it is necessary that workers are made aware of industrial security and
emergency preparedness."
Commissioner, Infrastructure and Industrial Development Department, Anup Chandra Pandey said,
"for every industrial safety four pillars are very important, firstly
the legal framework, protocols, resources and the most important thing
is to have participation of people. Following safety measures are
important and everyone should follow it."
Chief Secretary, Govt. of UP, Mr. Rajive Kumar said,
"Industry security is an important issue on which we must take a stand
because we are also a part of it. We need to provide training to the
small industries along with large industries."
O P Singh, IPS, Director General, UP Police said that
safety talks are important. Focus areas should be standards, procedures
and protocols. India has more than 300 districts that has MAH. When we
think of MAH within India, it requires a robust system for ensuring
safety. Once we are done with ensuring the safety then Industrial
Preparedness is important.
