Following the ‘gas leak’ on 3 June, Brandix India Apparel City has decided to set up a National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL).
Recognised by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the laboratory would be used to analyse air quality, including critical air pollutants, on the company premises.
A mobile continuous ambient air quality station also has been set up by the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) to monitor the air quality.
After the incident of gas leak, almost 10 days ago, the authorities of the district and other Government agencies had directed that the company stop its operations until further notice.
The company would also procure multi-gas detection equipment for permanent installation on its premises to safeguard against possible future incidents of this nature. The company would also station a team of doctors on the factory premises for a period of one week from the day of commencing the operations as a precautionary measure.
