Regulatory compliance in India is undergoing a paradigm shift. With the implementation of the New Labour Codes and stricter Environmental norms from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), industrial organizations must evolve or face significant operational risks.
1. Improper Hazardous Waste Categorization
Many facilities still struggle with the distinction between hazardous and non-hazardous waste under the 2016 Rules. Incorrect categorization leads to improper storage and disposal, which is a primary trigger for SPCB show-cause notices.
2. Outdated Fire Safety NoCs
A recent audit of 50 industrial units in NCR revealed that over 30% were operating with expired Fire NoCs or had made structural changes without notifying the fire department. In the event of an incident, insurance claims are routinely rejected on these grounds.
3. Inadequate PPE Training
Simply providing equipment is not enough. Compliance requires documented evidence of training sessions and fit-testing. The "One Size Fits All" approach is no longer acceptable under the new health and safety standards.

4. Poor Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) Documentation
Running an ETP is only half the battle. Maintaining the Logbook with accurate parameters (pH, TSS, COD, BOD) is critical. Gaps in logging are often interpreted as proof of non-operation during night shifts by inspecting authorities.
