Yes or No
If yes, provide name, phone

Guidance to Reviewers
Compliance Evidence :
Reviewer needs to check duties,
qualifications and conditions of service of
such persons. Note: The statute holds for
factories employing more than 1000 and
500 people respectively, or for specifically
prescribed Maximum Accident Hazard
factories. The regulations require only
qualified Safety and Welfare Officers. A
qualified environmental officer is not
mandatory so far.
Compliance Evidence:
Consent to Operate for air and wastewater
discharge issued by State Pollution Control
Board (along with discharge and operational
conditions specified in the Consent). (This
depends on the nature of the process. If the
facility does not have any sources of air
emissions, then it need not have consent
from air act, in the similar fashion if the
facility does not produce trade effluents and
generates only domestic sewage and no of
employees less than 10, then there is no
need to require permission from water act,,
It needs to be assessed based on the nature
of the industry.)

Yes or No
Reviewer needs to obtain
copies of all permits.
If no, please list any missing

critical.<p> <b>Examples of such a process
include:</b><ul><li> Secured confidential grievance boxes

more than 3 high; all containers (including drums) should
be clean with only minimal amounts of waste on the

equipment access (2-3 feet or 1 meter), sufficient
ventilation so that no strong odors present, fire
suppression system for flammable wastes, secondary
containment (bunding) for liquid wastes, and separation of
incompatible wastes. Liquid wastes should be stored in
areas with impervious surfaces or in a bermed and
covered area away from drainage structures such as floor
or storm drains. Containers with ignitable liquids should
be adequately grounded and bonded. Storage areas
should have signs or markings such as "restricted entry"

Dormitory Fire Prevention
GE requires that there are at least two routes of exit from Dormitory Fire Prevention
each floor in company provided housing(e.g. apartments,
dormitory, housing colony). If there is only one staircase,
companies often state that their building meets local
building codes as constructed. As a first step, you should
verify that the site has a written local government approval
of their current construction. However, that is insufficient
to close the finding. There are many variables relative to
the design of the building and number of employees that
must be taken into consideration, which could lead to the
need for additional escape routes.NFPA 101, Life Safety
Code - Although this Code is intended for application in
the USA, it provides very useful guidance. A few key
expectations of this Code are:1. A sufficient number of
properly designed, unobstructed means of egress of
adequate capacity and arrangement.2. Must take into
consideration occupant load and travel distance.3.
Provision of alternate means of egress if one means is
blocked by fire, heat or smoke.The key issue noted above
is the properly designed
means of egress. Possible means of egress (with access
from every floor) are provided below, with the
recommended acceptance level for each

REQUIRED FOR BUILDINGS > 50 FEET or 17 Meters IN

ladder constructed of inflammable material.3. Detachable
emergency ladder (not preferred) may be acceptable
under certain limited conditions, as determined case by
case and reviewed internally within each business by the
health and safety leader. This should be accepted only as
a temporary remedy while a permanent structure is being
constructed. Ladders must be approved by a recognized
governing board with a maximum height of 50 feet or 17
meters. Some issues to consider before accepting this
interim option include: height of building, number of floors,
number of occupants per floor, amount of time required to
safely evacuate all building occupants, ladder construction
