Experts in Nashik discussed how factories can become safer.
They said possible dangers should be identified and studied scientifically.
Regular safety checks can help find problems early.
Factories should also prepare for emergencies.
The seminar covered fires, protecting people, and lightning risks.
Experts said a building’s height and location can affect the safety measures it needs.
Good planning can protect workers, buildings and equipment.
It can also reduce interruptions and money lost after accidents.

Nashik Industries & Manufacturers’ Association President Ashish Nahar called for regular safety audits and preventive measures.
