How many employees should be trained in basic firefighting in a factory?

We operate an injection molding plastic factory in Chakan, Pune with 120 staff across three shifts. What is the legal percentage of staff that must be trained to use extinguishers?

Under the Factories Act 1948 and MIDC fire safety norms, a minimum of 15% to 20% of the total workforce (across all shifts) must be formally trained in fire prevention, basic firefighting, and emergency rescue operations. For a site with 120 employees, this means at least 6 to 8 employees per shift must hold training certificates from a licensed safety provider.
