A delegation of PUCL, Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti, Vyavasayik Swasthya Suraksha Mandal and the Vadodara Kamdar Union, which met Collector Anil Mukim on Monday, also drew his attention to a directive of March 4, 1998, by the Gujarat High Court for implementation of certain provisions of the Act. The directive had come following a petition by the Vadodara unit of the PUCL. The delegation stated that hardly any industrial unit followed the directive, let alone following the law in the first place. The PUCL has also sent notices to all chemical units in Vadodara about the relevant sections of the Act. The PUCL petition then had followed such notices to units in Ankleshwar and Nandesari.

The provisions under section 41 (B) and other sections of the Factories Act, made stringent after the Bhopal gas tragedy, which the organisations claim are not being implemented, makes it mandatory that:
The occupier of every factory, involving a hazardous process, disclose all information regarding dangers, including health hazards, and the measures to overcome them to the workers, the chief inspector, the local authority and the general public in the vicinity.

The occupier shall lay down a detailed policy with respect to workers' health and safety and intimate such policy to the chief inspector.

The information shall include the quantity, specifications and other characteristics of wastes and the manner of their disposal.

The occupier shall lay down measures for the handling, usage, transportation and storage of hazardous substances inside the factory premises and disposal of such substances outside factory premises and publicise them among workers and general public.

According to a survey by the Vadodara PUCL, most of the hazardous chemical units in the region do not have any system of informing either the people or the workers of the dangers involved.
