Overview

Rapid Technological developments and large scale Mechanization in

Petrochemical, Chemical, Engineering Industries, Construction activities etc.,

have resulted in complex Safety & Health problems in these Industries. Hence

these Industries need the services of qualified safety professionals exclusively to

take care of various Safety and Health aspects of their personnel/other persons

who are likely to be affected by any adverse effects arising from these Industries.

Recognizing this need and also to facilit4ate the Factory Management in fulfilling

the Statutory requirements regarding appointment of Safety officers under

Section 40-B of The Factories Act, 1948, this Institute has been conducting the

Diploma Course in Industrial Safety, since 1982.

Further, the Factory Managements may be aware about the Amendments

made in the year 1987 to the provisions of The Factories Act, 1948 which places

several responsibilities on the occupiers of Factories, including specific

responsibilities on the Occupiers of Factories, carrying out ‘Hazardous

Processes’. These added responsibilities on the Factory Managements have in

turn increased the responsibilities of the safety officers, who have to help and

assist the managements in complying with the various provisions of the Act, as

amended. The Diploma in Industrial Safety offered by the Regional Labour

Institute is a recognized statutory qualification for appointment as Safety Officers

as per The Factories Act, 1948. The Diploma is awarded by the Directorate of

Technical Education, Govt. of Tamil Nadu, Chennai.
