## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND  FERTILIZERS (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

- (a) & (b): Based on the information received from the State Governments/UTs, the details of the number of incidents of leakage of harmful gas and chemicals reported in last 10 years along with number of persons affected including fatalities are given at Annex-I.
- (c): Central Government has notified Public Liability Insurance Act, 1992 which mandates industrial units handling hazardous substance to take out an insurance policy covering legal liability to pay compensation for injury / death to third party or damage to property affected by

accidents while handling such hazardous substance and for the matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.  In  case no insurance policy is taken by the required industrial units, the Central  Government  has  also  established  an  Environmental  Relief  Fund  (ERF)  in  2008  to provide immediate relief to the affected persons.

Government has enacted the Factories Act, 1948, for ensuring the occupational safety, health and welfare of the workers employed in the factories registered under the Act.  The Factories Act, 1948 and the rules framed thereunder are enforced by States / Union Territories through their Chief Inspector of Factories (CIF) / Director of Industrial Safety & Health (DISH). The Occupier and Managers of the factories registered under the Factories Act, 1948 are required to comply with the provisions of the Factories Act, 1948 and rules framed thereunder. In case of violations of any of the provisions thereof, the CIF / DISH of the State Governments are empowered to initiate penal action against the occupier and manager of the factories. Separate data regarding details of such prosecution and conviction with respect to the incident involving leakage of harmful gas and chemicals is not maintained. However the details of prosecutions under Section 92 and 96-A of the Factories Act, 1948 in respect of all cases involving violation of factories act, 1948  for the years 2013 to 2022 are placed at Annex-II.

(d): Government has taken the following actions to check the occurrence of such incidences in the future: -

- i. There  are  elaborate  provisions  in  the  Factories  Act,  1948  and  the  rules  framed thereunder pertaining to health, safety, welfare, hazardous processes, working hours, penalties and procedures etc.
- ii. National  Disaster  Management  Authority  (NDMA)  had  issued  National  Disaster Management  Guidelines  on  Chemical  Disasters  (Industrial)  in  April,  2007.  The Guidelines inter- alia contains the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders to deal with such situations.
- iii. NDMA had also released National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) in May, 2016 (updated in 2019) to assist stakeholders including State Governments in disaster risk management of various hazards including chemical (Industrial). The Plan provides a framework and direction to government agencies for all phases of disaster management i.e. prevention, mitigation, response and recovery.
- iv. Further, the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEF&CC) has also notified Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 (MSIHC Rules,  1989)  and  Chemical  Accident  (Emergency  Planning,  Preparedness  and Response) Rules, 1996 under the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The  rules  were  notified  with  the  objective  of  preventing  chemical  accidents  from industrial activities, mitigate associated impacts and provide statutory backup to crisis management set up with four-tier system at Central, State, District and Local level. The State Chief Inspector of Factories (CIFs) (appointed under the Factories Act, 1948) are the  nodal  agencies  to  enforce  directions  and  procedures  in  respect  of  industrial installations and isolated storages covered under the Factories Act, 1948 dealing with hazardous chemicals and pipelines including inter-state pipelines. Similarly, Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) has been mandated to approve the sites of industrial installation and isolated Storages.
- v. The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals has launched the training programme  on  'Chemical  and  Petrochemical  Industrial  Safety'.  These  training programmes are intended to enhance awareness and mitigating risk on chemical safety and  security  for  all  the  Major  Accident  Hazard  (MAH)  Units  identified  across  the country.
- vi. The  MoEF&CC  and  Central  Pollution  Control  Board  (CPCB)  have  developed  an 'Integrated Guidance Framework for Chemicals Safety in respect of Isolated Storage(s) and Industries covered under MSIHC Rules, 1989' in compliance to the directions of Hon'ble  National  Green  Tribunal.  The  framework  was  circulated  to  the  Chief Secretaries/  UT  Administrators  of  all  States/  UTs  in  January-2022.  The  Integrated Guidance Framework prescribes for regular inspections of industrial and chemical sites, ensuring  preparation  of  the  on-site  emergency  plans,  undertaking  safety  audits,  and sharing  information  among  other  stakeholders  agencies,  in  case  of  observed  noncompliance.
