What are the key challenges faced by Indian industry in implementing HSE regulations and how you feel they can alleviate them?
Even as we speak about this in 2024, a herculean effort is needed to create awareness about HSE regulations across various sectors throughout the country only then can we achieve zero accidents. The current challenges are lack of awareness at micro & small sized industries. There is also a need for PPE manufacturers to not fall into the trap of competition in terms of pricing and start manufacturing and supplying products which actually meet the norms and guidelines.
