Jaipur: The state government has given relaxation to hospitals in procuring No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the fire department. It issued an order in this regard on Thursday.
This was one of the demands of the Indian Medical Association (IMA). The IMA had said that issuance and renewal of fire safety certificates/NOCs for hospitals should be done once in every five years instead of every year.
The official order says, “A hospital or other health establishments which are two-storey building constructed over 1,000 square metre with no facility of beds do not require any fire safety certification or fire NOC.”
Also, hospitals or other health establishments with two-storey building constructed over 1,000 square metre plot area having 15 metre height need fire NOC once in five years.
“Till now, all hospitals, clinical establishments, including diagnostic centres and labs needed fire NOC every year. We took up the matter with the state government and our demand has been accepted. Now, at least 90% of hospitals and clinical establishments which needed fire NOC every year will either not require fire NOC or require it once in every five year,” said Dr Sunil Chugh, president of IMA’s state branch.
The hospitals or clinical establishments which are 15 metre high and constructed on land from 1,000 square metre area to 3,000 square metre area will need fire NOC every three years.
Hospitals and clinical establishments constructed on land more than 3,000 square metre and height of 15 metre or more will need fire NOC every year.
