Hello everyone,
I am working in a Japanese MNC and looking into Management Systems. I am searching for the compliance requirements regarding the minimum number of Emergency Dealing Team Members. Can anyone tell me what the minimum requirement is for firefighters and first aiders in a factory as per any law, act, or rule applicable to manufacturing in Haryana?

Hello,
As per the Factories Act, 1948 which is applicable to your manufacturing unit in Haryana, India, the number of emergency response team members (firefighters and first aiders) is not explicitly stated but there are guidelines about safety provisions which you might find useful:
🚨 Fire Safety
1. The Act requires that every factory should take necessary precautions for the prevention of fire. This includes providing a sufficient number of fire exits, firefighting equipment, and trained personnel to use them. The number of firefighters should be determined based on the size, nature, and risks associated with your particular factory.
2. For a practical approach, you can conduct a Fire Risk Assessment which will help you determine the required number of firefighters. This assessment should consider factors such as the size of the premises, the number of floors, the materials used in the manufacturing process, the number of employees, etc.
🚑 First Aid
1. According to Section 45 of the Act, for every factory employing more than 150 workers, there should be an ambulance room with a qualified nurse and a part-time doctor. Factories with fewer than 500 workers should have the services of a doctor for at least 2 hours a day.
2. For factories employing fewer than 150 workers, there must be adequately equipped first-aid boxes - one for every 150 workers. Each box should be in the charge of a separate responsible person who is trained in first aid treatment.
3. Again, a practical approach would be to conduct a Health Risk Assessment which would help you determine the number of first aiders needed based on factors such as the nature of work, the number of employees, shifts, etc.
Please remember these are just guidelines and the actual number of emergency dealing team members might vary for your specific situation. It's always a good idea to consult with local safety authorities or a legal expert for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.
