Saniya Mansoori, Anjani Kumar Dwivedi

Abstract: Industrial operations, especially in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, carry significant environmental and safety risks. The handling, storage, and processing of hazardous substances create a high probability of accidents such as fires, explosions, toxic releases, and chemical spills, which, if not managed effectively, may escalate into large-scale industrial disasters. This study focuses on evaluating and optimizing the On-Site Emergency Plan at IPCA Laboratories Ltd., Ratlam, a major pharmaceutical manufacturing unit. The objective of this project was to gain practical experience and knowledge on the implementation and effectiveness of a safety work system in a real-life industrial setting, the research highlights both the strengths and gaps in current practices. The case study of IPCA Laboratories Ltd., Ratlam, provides practical insights into safety protocols, emergency preparedness, and disaster mitigation efforts. The aim is to enhance the effectiveness of industrial risk management through structured plans, modern methodologies, and regulatory compliance.
