Fire License Dilemma: How Can Our Factory Secure One Safely and Efficiently?

Dear all, I am working in a factory where we do not have a fire license. Kindly suggest to us how we can obtain one.

Please contact the fire officer at the nearest fire station. Once you are at the fire station, you can meet the fire officer who will provide you with all the details regarding the fire license.

You can visit the nearest fire station, where you will meet the fire officer who will provide you with full details for your fire license.

First, you apply with the required documents (like the area of the premises, working area of the premises, fire load calculation, details of fire extinguishers, and fire protection equipment, etc.) at the nearest fire station. The fire officer will schedule a date for the visit to the company premises. After visiting the company, he will suggest some improvements in the factory premises. If he is satisfied with your improvements, he will give the NOC for a year.

Mr. Samir is right. Further, in some states, there is a Fire and Emergency department. When you apply for the NOC, the said department instructs the local Fire Officer to inspect the unit. After that, he gives his report to the Fire and Emergency department along with his recommendations. If improvements in fire equipment and workplace are required, further action is taken, i.e., issuing the NOC or providing a time limit for improvements. The NOC is required in many cases, such as in our case where the SPCB and sometimes the Factories Department require the same.

Moreover, in any fire incident, obtaining the NOC is a mandatory requirement for filing an insurance claim.
