Stating that the fire incident was very unfortunate, the spokesperson of the Berger Becker Coatings Pvt Ltd said the company followed all protocols and set up precautionary measures of the highest standard which can be compared to the best at the international level.
Brahamanand Parab, HR Manager of the company also admitted that in the past there were some issues which were later taken care of.
“We have set up maximum safety procedures in place. Apart from having a four-lakh litre water storage facility, there is a special alarm system in place and firefighting equipment. There are emergency exits and we conduct regular emergency drills. In fact, because of the system we could prevent casualties,” said Parab. “It was our bad luck that the fire incident happened despite impeccable measures in place,” he added. The HR manager admitted that there were some issues initially which were subsequently resolved. “There were some issues in the beginning which were resolved promptly. We also set up an effluent treatment plant (ETP) at the site,” he said.
