In case of fire safety, the laws are neither adequately strong, nor serious penal action

is
effected unless the life losses & consequential losses affecting the common people are
involved.

There is no Government authority strongly equipped with adequately qualified manpower


who can visit to check on periodic basis more seriously in the domain of fire safety and
installations as done in case of EHS .
Unfortunately the property loss is taken as an individual loss to owner and not
much thought
is given to the National Loss though it is almost a crime which should not be
pardonable.

Fire safety is taken as implied inclusion. There is no expressed mention.


It goes without saying that the implied version and expressed version differ a lot

in result.
Earlier,

After the discontinuance of TAC, for last 15 years:In a way Fire Safety is somewhat a neglected portfolio.

Tariff Advisory Committee -Popularly known as TAC, used to visit industries to help
and achieve fire risk minimization through their general risk inspection, electrical
installation
check up and approval/audit of Fire safety installation
It is curious to observe that in Safety Policy which is a very important document, the
Fire

word is conspicuously absent.
