FICCI is organizing a two-day Conference on ‘Industrial Safety & Disaster Risk Reduction. With the Indian Manufacturing Industry encompassing a wide spectrum of chemical, petroleum, petrochemical, fertilizer, and other hazardous products, environmental and health risks have become significant challenges. This heightened risk has led to an increase in industrial accidents.

 

The conference aims to redefine corporate participation in disaster management activities, shifting from post-disaster activities to proactive prevention, preparedness, and mitigation initiatives, aligning with the efforts of the National Disaster Management Authority, Government of India. It serves as a crucial multi-stakeholder platform for companies and stakeholders to address specific issues, challenges, present case studies, highlight strengths, and share visions on this vital subject. The conference offers invaluable opportunities for hands-on training, capacity building, and community development, benefiting safety professionals and responders both on-site and off-site during emergencies.

 

The focus of the programme is facilitation of knowledge exchange on best practices to make industry safer through better emergency planning, risk assessment and use of technology for the early detection of potential risks and environmental hazards.
