The centre, temporarily functioning from Kaleeswari Government College here, would be shifted to its own premises soon and would have a Deputy Chief Inspector among seven other appointments, a state government press release said.
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has sanctioned Rs 2.36 crore for this purpose, it said, adding the Centre would impart training on various aspects, including industrial safety and handling of chemicals.
The move comes in the wake of recurring fatal accidents in various cracker making units in Sivakasi.
