Dear Raghu,
Thanks for sharing the news with us. I will say something good that I heard - at least they conducted a statewide mock-drill. This is an appreciable initiative. Let's hope that this kind of event will be organized in the future. The main aspect is whether they will do something to fulfill the identified gaps or not. Let's hope for the best.

Only the government does it. I remember that while in the public sector, such drills were very common even in the industrial units of the public sector. But I rarely heard of any such mock drills being carried out in the private or corporate sector. Since no law binds any private or corporate sector to carry out such drills regarding preparedness, the industry will not do it. Even if there is a law, the industry would only do the minimum for compliance and not take such matters seriously.

Dear Mr. Surendera M. Bhanot,
The scenario is not as you are thinking. Our company is a private firm, and we are conducting mock drills compulsorily once a quarter. You could say that 80% of private or corporate sectors are not doing the same. However, they also prepare reports of the drills to submit to the factory inspectorate. The law is in place, and everyone is fulfilling it, but the question is to what extent is the actual implementation happening - mostly through papers.

Dear All,
I do not agree with you. Most of the major hazardous industries conduct mock drills regularly. In fact, in Nasik, we have a practice of conducting mock drills by inviting experts from other industries and representatives from the Factories Inspector's office. However, not only major hazardous industries but also other industries conduct them.
Suppose you have EOT cranes in the shop, an electrician goes for some work and gets an electrical shock. How to bring him down also needs to be practiced in mock drills. There can be small specific emergencies; first of all, we need to identify those, make a control plan, and conduct mock drills to identify gaps.
According to my observation, it is because of a lack of awareness that there can be some problems. I have helped at least three small and medium-scale industries to identify emergencies and prepared emergency control plans for them. The situation is not that bad.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear All,
Greetings!
As a corporate trainer, I have visited almost all segments of industries and have conducted mock drills for many of them. The basic idea of conducting mock drills is to be prepared for the worst. Unless we identify the worst, it is of no use conducting such kind of drills just to generate a bunch of papers.
Dipil has rightly said that 80% of the entities don't realize this fact, and they don't want to work on this either. I have seen the worst cases in the industries where at the last moment, they give me a call asking what to do in such cases. The workers are unaware of the consequences; they are even unaware of the MSDS of the chemicals they work with.
Emergency action plans are made and kept as records, but individuals are clueless about their responses in case of any emergency situations. The irony is that people are not familiar with the premises where they work, so in unforeseen circumstances, they can at least evacuate themselves safely.
I recollect my days in the Indian Navy where I served for 15 years. We used to conduct a fire mock drill every day. Sometimes it seemed time-consuming, but the ultimate goal was to save lives and property by putting out the fire in its initial stage.
No rule or act can demonstrate the skills we require, but we are the ones who have to set our standards. Let's hope we pull up our socks.

Dear Mr. Ajay,
Greetings!
As far as the evacuation plan of premises is concerned, it totally depends upon the layout of the premises and will not be a common thing.
There are factors like the number of employees to be evacuated, exits, emergency exits, rescue lifts, emergency management equipment such as fire extinguishers, hydrant posts, first aid kits, etc.
The above factors are primarily considered when making an evacuation plan. These are displayed as legends on your evacuation plan boards, which are placed at different locations within the premises.
The evacuation routes will vary depending on the location of the person evacuating, so careful planning is necessary to avoid any misunderstandings.
Additionally, the evacuation plan boards should be made using autoglow sheets so that they can be utilized in case of a power outage.
I hope you have gained valuable insights from this information.
Please find attached a model evacuation plan for your reference, which will provide you with further insight.
