LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation since its inception on 5/9/1898, has been serving the Nation as the nodal agency regulating safety of hazardous substances namely explosives, compressed gases and petroleum. The Organisation has earned rare distinction as an institution of excellence in matters relating to safety in manufacture/refining, storage, transportation, handling etc of hazardous substances for over a century. Apart from the normal functions of enforcement of statutory safety regulations to safeguard Public safety, life, property and environment, the Organisation has rendered meritorious voluntary services in examination and disposal of explosives, improvised explosives devices till late eighties of the last century, some of which were of national importance encountered during freedom struggle of the country, terrorist activities in different regions in the country. Till early nineties of the last century, the officers of the Organisation were carrying out anti-sabotage checks and duties related to VVIP security, Airport Security etc. The Organisation has creditably rendered training to Police, Security and Intelligence personnel in detection, examination and disposal of explosives/explosive devices, as there was no other agency to impart such training in the country. The activities of the Organisation, over the years has increased exponentially and expanded in diverse fields. Today the Organisation deals with wide range of subjects relating to Explosives, Petroleum, Compressed Gases, Pressure Vessels, Gas Cylinders, Pipelines, LNG, CNG, Auto LPG etc.

 

The Organisation, although small in size, compared to many other Government organizations, with an existing strength of only 91 officers, is the only Organisation of its kind directly overseeing the safety requirements for over 2.71 lakhs hazardous units and offering expert technical and safety guidance to numerous industries and user companies, including Ministries of Defence, Railways, Shipping, Surface Transport, Environment and Forests, Civil Aviation and establishments of Atomic Energy and Space Research.

 

Initially, the activities of the Organisation were confined to enforcement of Explosives Act (4 of 1884) involving inspection of few explosives storage magazines and investigation of accidents related to storage and transportation of explosives. Subsequently, enforcement of Petroleum Act (8 of 1899) and Petroleum Rules which came into force on 17.02.1899 and Carbide of Calcium Rules framed under this Act notified on 11/08/1899, were also entrusted to this Organisation. However, owing to different sets of provincial Regulations prevailing in different provinces at that time, an impasse was created in effective administration of the Petroleum Act and Rules.

 

With a view to thrash out the impasse and bring uniformity in the system, the Chief Inspector of Explosives started an endeavour to frame a set of Rules for all states allowing variations essential for local conditions. Finally, the Petroleum Act, 1934 was promulgated in supersession of all earlier Regulations and the Petroleum Rules, 1937 came into force with effect from 30.03.1937 replacing the earlier Central and Provincial Rules. The consolidated Carbide of Calcium Rules came into force with effect from 18.03.1937. After Independence, through hazardous but useful materials like explosives, petroleum etc. found place in the Union List of the Constitution of India. Subsequently, the Petroleum Rules, 1937 were overhauled comprehensively and replaced by Petroleum Rules, 1976. The Petroleum Rules, 1976 were further reviewed and overhauled in view of changed scenario and also report of the Rajya Sabha Committee for Sub-ordinate Legislation and new rules Petroleum Rules, 2002 were brought into force with effect from 13/03/2002.

 

During the course of time, similarly there were several revisions and amendments in the Explosives Act and Rules. The earlier Explosives Rules, 1918 were replaced by Explosives Rules, 1940, which were again overhanled and replaced by the Explosives Rules, 1983, which have been again thoroughly reviewed and Present Explosives Rules, 2008have been brought in force since 29/12/2008.

 

Inflammable Substance Act, 1952 came into force from 1952. The Gas Cylinder Rules which were originally framed in the year 1940, were replaced by new comprehensive Gas Cylinder Rules, 1981. These Rules were again reviewed due to liberalized policy of Government of India and were replaced by new Gas Cylinder Rules, 2004 with effect from 21/08/2004.

 

The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 1981 were for the first time brought in force in the country to cover safety in storage and transportation of bulk compressed gases in pressure vessels. These rules have been appropriately amended time to time to cover new fields like cryogenic liquids Auto LPG Dispensing Stations etc.

 

Due to the complexity of functions and increased responsibility in implementing safety regulations over the entire length and breadth of the country, the Organisation has modernized its working procedures making use of latest tools of information technology. Consequently, all the offices of the Organisation have been networked through the central server installed at Nagpur, the data base of the Organisation has been digitized and access to the data has been made available to the public through the net. The members of the public can now have access to the status of their applications by visiting the Organisations website. The aim of the Organisation is to take benefit of modern work procedures, technology and upgraded manpower quality by imparting continuous training to officers and staff for turning itself into an Institute of Excellence. The reputation earned by this Organisation over the century is reflected by confidence shown by all related Industries, various Government Departments/Organisations and Autonomous Bodies in seeking advice and guidance in the matters relating to handling of hazardous substances.

 

Aided by its most efficient technical work force, congenial working conditions, proactive approach, up-gradation of knowledge base, deployment of IT techniques and over all traditional dedication to serve the cause of safety, the Organisation is now poised to scale new heights of excellence in the years to come.
