The Hydrocarbon processing industry in India has been very conscious of complying with increasingly stringent health, safety and environmental regulations but there is a need to strive to go beyond compliance by drawing a roadmap that encompasses the following:

  • Adoption of best practices in plant design and operation to ensure not just improved efficiency, but also integrity of assets to guard against equipment and piping failures that can lead to hazardous situations, besides releasing liquid/gaseous hydrocarbons.
  • Giving health, safety and environment related issues the eminence that they merit in the scenario arising out of COP 21.
  • Safe handling, treatment & disposal of solid waste.
