Abstract

Mapping Industrial Disasters, & relevant laws, based on the past incidences becomes relevant. The goal of the initiative is to prioritize prevention for further in-depth legal investigation & evaluation. We have mapped these to identify their pattern of manmade disaster in the environment, in their region of production, casualty and sickness, and further prevention of such as disaster-associated morbidity & mortality in community, leading to mass casualties, since the time immemorial. The legal know-how of regulations can aid the healthcare providers, in proper medicolegal documentation, in best interests of the victims.
