India has a comprehensive legal framework governing EHS, especially relevant to industries like electronic, manufacturing, construction, and energy. Some key regulatory requirements include:

• Environment Protection Act, 1986 – Provides the foundation for environmental regulations and pollution control.
• Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 – Regulate industrial emissions and effluent discharge.
• The Hazardous and Other Wastes Rule, 2016 – Governs storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste.
• Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 – Consolidates and modernizes labour and safety laws.
• E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022 – Critical for the electronics sector, ensuring safe disposal and recycling of electronic waste.
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) under Companies Act, 2013 – Encourages companies to adopt sustainability and EHS initiatives.

Compliance with these regulations not only prevents legal penalties but also supports long-term business sustainability and global competitiveness.

An EHS audit is a structured assessment of an organization’s Environmental, Health and Safety practices to ensure they meet regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal policies. It evaluates compliance across areas such as licences and registrations, operational safety, environmental controls, waste management, emergency preparedness, and documentation. A well-executed EHS audit helps identify gaps, reduce risks, and establish a roadmap for continuous compliance and safer operations.

Most organizations should conduct EHS safety audits at least once every 12 months, but high-risk industries often require quarterly or bi-annual audits to stay fully compliant. Regulatory changes, expansion of operations, new machinery, or incident occurrences may also require additional audits. Regular EHS audits ensure that all routine compliance, documentation, licence renewals, EHS returns, and on-ground safety practices remain up to date and aligned with statutory expectations.

EHS consulting services offer comprehensive advisory across the full compliance lifecycle beginning with one-time licences and registrations, extending into recurring compliance management, statutory returns filing, audit support, and regulatory notice handling. The goal is to help organizations maintain complete EHS compliance while improving workplace safety, reducing operational risks, and supporting sustainable business operations.

Applying for a Fire NOC (No Objection Certificate) involves several key steps to ensure your facility meets fire safety regulations. First, gather site drawings, occupancy details, fire-fighting system data and prior approvals. Next, submit the application to the local fire department or Chief Fire Officer along with the required one-time licence/registration documents. Once the fire authority inspects the premises and verifies compliance with norms, you receive the Fire NOC. Also one should comply by the fire fighting requirements to obtain NOC. Aparajitha’s EHS Compliance service streamlines this end-to-end process securing registrations, coordinating inspections, managing renewals, and integrating the NOC into your centralised compliance repository.
