Which of the following organisations will NOT be represented on the Steel Industry Safety Council as announced?
- A.Directorate General of Mines Safety
- B.Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation
- C.Securities and Exchange Board of India
- D.National Disaster Management Authority
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Securities and Exchange Board of India. That body regulates the securities market and has nothing to do with industrial safety in steel plants, so it does not figure in the composition of the new Council. Options A, B and D are all wrong choices for this question because each of those organisations has been named as a participant. The Directorate General of Mines Safety deals with safety in mines and related workplaces, the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation regulates hazardous substances such as fuels and explosives, and the National Disaster Management Authority is the apex body for disaster management in the country. Along with recognised steel technology institutions, they will bring technical and statutory expertise to the Council chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of Steel.
