Axis Communications puts the eye in IoT, sets the expectations and trends for security & video surveillance Industry in 2016

s one of the early adopters of IoT with the launch of the security Industry’s first network camera in 1996, Axis Communications believes it represents a very real and practical step forward in how to connect disparate machines and widely dispersed data. IoT will allow network cameras to think independently and make smart decisions on their own, while connected systems will top the chart of emerging trends in 2016. Trends to lookout for in 2016: IoT: From cool features to useful solutions: As security solutions move beyond their roots in cameras, the entire gamut of network cameras will expand. For example: network cameras can be used for Building Information Management (BIM), Business Intelligence (BI) in retail and even leaping into scientific research with real-time analysis of traffic patterns and crowd movements. The IoT will allow for combined systems integrating previously disparate devices such as video surveillance cameras, smoke detectors, gas sensors, access control panels and loudspeakers into a common management console providing a ‘single pane of glass’ overview across entire buildings and sites. More cameras mean Big Data According to market researchers, video is now the fastest growing type of data in the world, and video generated by security and surveillance

systems is no small reason. While this vast amount of video data is largely being used for security purposes, it is increasingly valuable as a source of business intelligence. However, there still remains a significant challenge to effectively manage and use the endless amounts of video data being generated, so-called big data. Hence, we expect to see more investment in tools and other resources that can effectively mine and derive actionable intelligence from the big data that security systems are producing. Cutting the cords We expect to see more use of wireless technology in security and video surveillance, particularly as an enhancement to business optimization and improvement of the customer experience.

The never ending quest for more detail Security operators have an insatiable appetite for more clarity and detail in the images produced by their video surveillance systems. So continued improvement in megapixel technology is certainly in our future. Analytics provides the brain for smarter systems If IoT devices are the eyes & ears for increasingly interconnected systems, then analytics technology is the brain. We expect to see continued growing adoption of sophisticated video and audio analytics in the coming year, helping security systems evolve from passive monitoring to intelligent and adaptive recognition, situational awareness and analysis systems.

Morpho and Telit contribute to IOT-based emergency response project to save lives on Russian roads

orpho (Safran), a global leader in identity and security solutions, and Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that the specialized embedded SIM developed by Morpho has been successfully tested with Telit’s high performance 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular IoT modules for deployment in an Emergency Road Assistance project in Russia. The ERA GLONASS (Emergency Road Assistance based on Global Navigation Satellite) project has been launched to introduce a sensor-based in-vehicle emergency call system that in case of an accident automatically dials an emergency number linked to the nearest emergency center. Basic data – including the location – is sent to the local emergency services, meaning that the response can be faster, the size and scope of an incident can be assessed early and time can be saved in critical life-and-death situations. These life-saving measurements are made possible by the integration of a specialized embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC)* into the telematics control system of vehicles. Morpho has been working closely with the IoT enabler Telit to test special robust eUICCs that are developed specifically for the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) sector and additionally implement ERA GLONASS services. Extensive tests have now proven the seamless interoperability between Morpho’s ERA GLONASS eUICC and Telit’s cellular IoT modules to ensure that the unique requirements of the system are achieved. “For the automotive market, flexible

In Focus - Security demands for Emerging Markets in ASEAN

Mr. Riki Nishimura, General Manager of Visual Security Solutions Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP) at Sony Electronics Asia Pacific

46 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

ith the opening of local economies, emerging markets in the ASEAN region are experiencing an influx of foreign investments coupled with new infrastructure developments. The fast-paced growth also increases security demands, with governments placing more emphasis on the implementation of physical security systems and solutions in order to secure the premises, assets and its people. As a thought leader in the security and surveillance arena, Sony sees the tremendous potential of growing this business across the ASEAN region. “Sony’s reputation as the industry-leading technology innovator, solutions provider and trusted business partner showcases our offering goes beyond the dated vendor/customer practice. We concentrate on building relationships that empower our partners and customers,” said Mr. Riki Nishimura, General Manager of Visual Security Solutions Division, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP) at Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “With the whole gamut of video security

products, we are confident in providing solutions that cater to specific needs of our clients and ensure that it will be an effortless process for them. For example, Sony’s latest 4K video security camera (SNC-VM772R) aims to address the concerns of our business partners to achieve both high resolution and high sensitivity while battling the increased system costs.” Government as a core driving force Mr. Nishimura observed that the core driving force in these emerging markets would be government bodies followed by the banking/financial and retail sectors. “Increasingly, financial institutions are enhancing their surveillance systems to meet security, regulatory and compliance demands, while addressing their concerns for efficiency and productivity. On the other hand, retail market is also booming with the opening of more high-end boutiques which require higher security requirements.” He also remarked that the hospitality sector could be one of the new opportunities for the security industry. www.ind-safety.com

SECURITY INDUSTRY » Business News

“Tourism is a huge economic driving force for these emerging markets. With the rising numbers of hotels and entertainment establishments, we foresee that this will generate demands for security and surveillance solutions.” Challenges in the distribution market Mr. Nishimura highlighted the possible challenges in the distribution markets of these countries especially for new foreign players. Apart from cultural taboos as well as possible language barrier, finding the ‘right’ local partner would be the key to effective market penetration. These ‘right’ partners will be able to facilitate and expedite market entry with their in-depth knowledge and

established networks and assist new players to establish a foothold within the market. In addition, there may be limits on new players through licensing requirements, restricted access to raw materials, product testing regulations, among other constraints. Nonetheless, Mr. Nishimura remained positive and stressed the importance of understanding the regulatory framework within these markets. “It is important that products meet the local standards apart from the global ones. This will definitely boost consumer confidence & reputation of the company in the long run.”

demands driving these emerging markets compared to other more developed regions, Mr. Nishimura commented that 4K imaging will soon be a global video security standard. “It is more than just increased resolution. It is expanding the application potential of security cameras and helping to transform security and surveillance. For example, the SNC-VM772R has received overwhelming responses across Europe and the product promises to be a real game changer for the market as customers unlock the true value of 4K imaging.”

features including built-in IR illuminators effective up to 20 meters and weather-proof IP66-rated housing. Adding another layer of security, 11 units of FD8137H and FD8169 were installed throughout Chaponashr’s well-lit office space, making use of the two models’ ability to handle natural or bright-light conditions thanks to WDR functionality. Finally, all of these extremely capable network cameras are connected to two NVRs via VIVOTEK’s VAST software with 200 licenses, allowing security footage to be recorded and monitored in realtime from a centralized, secure location within Chaponashr’s facility. Alex Kuo, Department manager of VIVOTEK’s International sales department I, is excited about the project, saying “thanks to the cooperation of these two innovative, forward-thinking firms, VIVOTEK once again has provided a high-tech, comprehensive monitoring solution to a company with a once difficult, but now superbly solved, security-monitoring dilemma. Chaponashr, Pooya Fara Negar (PFN) and VIVOTEK will continue to innovative and move forward in the 21st century within respective industries, and consumers and clients alike will continue to benefit from our advancements.”

COVER STORY

Making of United Manufacturing Company The foundation of United Manufacturing Company was laid by two promising entrepreneurs, namely, Late Mr. Hazur Singh and Late Mr. Amarjeet Singh in the year of 1968. The company initially began with the manufacture of loom and auto parts. A humble beginning which was a trail blazer carved a path of future glory for the company. The founders of the company were visionary and avant-garde who had envisaged that the future lay in industrialized India of tomorrow. In the year of 1978 company first ventured into the business of fire safety which would ultimately be its destiny. Having complete faith in their ability to compete with the best and bestowed with strong will and expertise, the duo diversified into a business which was destined to catapult the company to new heights. It is said that the longest journey starts with a small step. Likewise, the first order, though small, which was awarded by “DFS” was successfully executed. Thereafter, no one could stop the rapid rise of the company which has won innumerable laurels and recognitions. United Manufacturing Company (UMC) has now become synonymous with Innovative skills, expertise and competent leadership. The company gradually started earning an unenviable reputation for quality and workmanship of its products. The entrepreneurial spirit, inculcated by the founding fathers, has been the company’s inspiration throughout its journey. Going down the years gone by, UMC takes pride in having executed voluminous orders for recovery breakdown vans, bulk petroleum carriers, air craft re-fullers, water tankers, dumper placers, water cannons and many more for Government organisations and PSUs sector. The company has grown at a gruelling pace, riding on the hard work and calculated risks taken by the promoters. The visionary innovative spirit still pervades the corridors and drawing boards of the company. 58 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Q. In your opinion, what is the state of security industry in India and what is the trend you see in the space? Security Industry in India per say is still in its nascent stages and hence is unorganized compared to its peer the IT industry. Until recently, ‘security’was considered more of a LUXURY rather than a NEED. One of the major reasons behind its slow paced growth and current unorganized state is can be adhered to Government policies. In today’s scenario, the development of Smart Cities have forced the Government and Administrative bodies to focus on security solutions as a standard tool of safety along with making it a part of thelaw and order. Things have changed and are changing very fast. Security has now become the society’s NEED rather than remain a LUXURY. However, we still have a long way to go with the IP based solutions. Q. Which market are you targeting? As we already have a strong presence in the West Bengal, Jharkhand & Bihar, we aretargeting Odisha and North East areas for spreading our business. Q. What are the various security related products that you offer? We are completely into security 60 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Q. What is the advantage of Matrix products vis-à-vis the competition? Matrix is a brand that stands for ‘SUBSTANCE’ in terms of technology, depth, genuineness and going beyond the mere outer façade & offering more values in all areas. This is what differentiates Matrix from its competitors. It strives to offer MORE in everything it does – technology, applications, functions, features, performance, flexibility, reliability and support. Matrix positioning is based on offering more of these true, inherent values which customers expect from infrastructure solutions. The company provides specific solutions with heavy focus on quality and customer service. Key differentiators lie in providing pre-sales, post-sales and R&D support. Most importantly, Matrix has an in-house manufacturing unit and R&D centre to offer quick turnaround for clients. Q. What is your marketing and channel strategy? When we talk about end customer projects, we always believe in suggesting and delivering the most optimal solution possible, based on their requirements and pain areas. Instead of selling mere boxes, we believe in providing our customers with a solution that adds value to their business. With respect to ourchannel sales,we focus more on providing backend support to our channels members, thus entrusting them with self-capability to close deals and serve customer AMCs. They know they can always count on us as a FRIEND IN NEED.

Q. What is your support strategy? For us, customer support has always been our top priority since the beginning. To enhance, our tag line states “Customer Satisfaction is Our Motto Because We Value Relationship.” Gone are the days of Box selling!In the current scenario, only a robust support system can let you sail in this tough market. It helps us in all aspects, starting from building Goodwill to Referral customers. Even channel partners can trust us blindly in terms of support, right from start to closing of the deal. Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India? As we said earlier, the current security market status in India is quite unstructured. Thus, keeping in mind its future potential, everyone and anyone is trying to set foot into this market. This,in turn leads to compromises in terms ofquality and after sales support because of the on-going price war between the Chinese products.An average Indian customer is generally price sensitive, which makes this market a tough deal. It is especially so for companies like ours, since we believe in providing customers with quality and value addition products such as the Matrix solutions, instead of cheap boxes. Q. What kind of plans and expectations do you have for this segment this year? From January onwards, we are coming very strong in the market with continuous road shows and dealer meets, showcasing all our product range and services. We would be focussing onstarting offices in the North East & Odisha areas. We are also planning to set foot into the East Indian market with enthusiastic and future oriented partners. www.ind-safety.com

Ammonia detection for cold storage

mmonia (NH3 also known as R717) is the most common refrigerant in industrial applications, while Carbon dioxide is gaining in low-temperature, cascaded systems where it primarily replaces ammonia. In new cold storage facilities in particular, the use of natural refrigerants is already an established market in a number of world regions, in the case of ammonia-only systems. The use of ammonia and other HFCfree solutions is not only driven as a means to preempt future use restrictions on fluorinated gases, but as an efficient tool to achieve good energy efficiency performance and emissions savings. Also in the near future technical development of alternatives in industrial refrigeration is expected to emphasize NH3 and CO2. However, with facilities around the world being subject to increasingly stringent safety regulations, owners of large industrial plants and equipment manufacturers start seeking refrigeration solutions that enable them to continue using or start implementing ammonia systems, while ensuring compliance with rigorous (and some times restrictive) safety regulations that concern installations that serve public areas or in regions with stringent policies. The type of product and its susceptibility to contamination (high, low, moderate) should be considered when trying to determine the type of sensor, setting and location of individual ammonia sensors. Environmental conditions also need to be considered. In grape storage, for example, fumigation with sulfur dioxide can be very detrimental to some types of ammonia sensors. Manufacturers’ literature should be consulted for any limitations of their particular sensor or system. For product such as fresh fruit in “controlled atmosphere” (CA) storage where oxygen is reduced to very low levels, 64 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

sensors that can reliably detect low levels (15 ppm or less) may be required. If a sampling type ammonia detection system is used, measures should be taken to keep the sampling intervals as low as possible (under 15 minutes). Sampling systems will require a higher level of maintenance and more frequent checks to assure they will properly respond to a leak or spill. Other than sound audible and/or visual alarms, you will need to decide what additional functions should be activated by the ammonia detection system, and at what level. Because oil used in refrigeration systems is designed to easily mix with the refrigerant, and oil traps are not 100 percent effective, some oil carryover will occur. This lowers the normal flammability limit of anhydrous ammonia (16 percent to 25 percent by volume in air) because it is now a mixture of oil and ammonia. For a machine room, a setting of 100 ppm to 200 ppm may be appropriate, with automatic activation of ventilation fans to aid in keeping the concentration below flammable limits.

For freezers used to store packaged frozen foods, 50 ppm is a common setting. While electrochemical sensors are the most common type of sensor in use, other sensor technologies such as infrared, solid state, polymer film and semi-conductor sensors can help increase sensor life while decreasing maintenance costs and requirements. The facility owner, system operators and maintenance personnel should become knowledgeable in the operation and design of their ammonia detection and isolation system. This new Ambetronics Ammonia gas detector unit GT-2500 is approved for temperatures ranges from minus 10 to plus 50 degrees Centigrade and is available in IP66 versions. This performance range makes it suitable for Cold storage, food processing environments and others with high humidity or condensation.

68 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

1.0 INTRODUCTION A fire may cause damage to persons and property. A major fire may affect several departments of a workplace or may cause extensive damage to property, serious injuries, loss of life and also a serious disruption both inside and outside the works. It is now recognized that most fires are foreseeable & that they can therefore be prevented by appropriate fire safety measures. Even though elimination of all damages and risks is not possible, an acceptable degree of safety, damage and risk can be established. The purpose of a fire risk assessment is not merely to quantify the risks that are present in the workplace, but to identify them and to eliminate, control, avoid, transfer or accept the risks. The first principle of a fire risk assessment is to identify sources of ignition and combustible materials, reduce their levels of occurrence in the workplace and ensure that they are kept apart as far as is practicable. Many use the term risk assessment loosely. The term, thus conveys different meanings to different people. The word risk has different meanings in different situations. Generally it refers to the probability or chances that an event may take place that has or might have adverse consequences. It is also used to imply that some situations are more dangerous than others, i.e. are “risky”. Thus the “risk” is a measure of both the probability and the consequence of all hazards in an activity. A “hazard” is an act or condition that has the potential to

cause damage to plant or workplace or equipment or result in an illness or injury. In other words hazard is a physical situation with a potential for human injury, damage to property, damage to environment or a combination of these. In many cases the term “hazard” and “risk” are used interchangeably. In short, hazard is a potential for harm and risk means, the likelihood of the harm occurring. Thus, the term risk assessment involves quantification of value judgement. This helps us to visualize the extent of risk and consequent loss and to decide, whether the risk is acceptable or not. The evaluation of fire risk in each workplace or an activity or in a building or in a section of an occupancy can be done either qualitatively or quantitatively. Qualitative risk analysis is used to determine what risks are present and quantitative analysis is used to determine the frequency or probability of certain serious consequences arising as a result of these risks. It may be borne in mind that instead of making an analysis of incurred damage, i.e. after the event, it may be of advantage to prepare an analysis of potential risks before an accident happens. It may also be borne in mind that in larger workplaces, different areas may represent quite different levels of fire risk, and therefore, it will be more appropriate to undertake individual fire risk assessments for each of these areas rather than just one fire risk assessment for the whole of the workplace. www.ind-safety.com

2.0 FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT METHODS Fire risk assessments can be carried out by various methods and six such methods are listed below: 1. The DOW Fire and Explosion Index, 2. The MOND Fire, Explosion and Toxicity Index, 3. The Risk Factor matrix method, 4. The Industrial method, 5. The Algorithmic method, 6. The SIX-step method. The DOW Fire and Explosion Index is a method of risk analysis, which quantifies the risks involved in any storage/process. The concept was developed by Dow Chemical Company from insurance point of view, in order to determine the insurance premium of an installation. It is a simple method for determining the greatest loss potential in a particular process, and the Index is used as part of Dow Risk Assessment. The MOND Fire, Explosion and Toxicity Index was developed by Mond Division of Imperial Chemical Industries, as an extension to the DOW Index. The MOND Index was developed from the 1973 version of the DOW Index. An extended version of the manual was issued in 1985 and an amended version was published in 1993. The Risk Factor Matrix method attempts to put the risk assessment onto a semi-quantitative basis. However, under this method, a single risk factor for the whole area being assessed. Each risk or situation to cause a fire can be measured by a numerical score based on the estimated frequency of each possible fire occurrence and its severity on a pre-determined matrix. 70 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

The Industrial method is in essence a variant of the risk factor matrix method, although the terminology is slightly different. Under this method one can calculate a risk factor for each of the defects in the fire safety in the area and then calculate average risk factor. The Algorithmic method is a two dimensional diagrammatic representation of the steps to be undertaken in order to make a decision, solve a problem or carry out a process. The SIX-Step method is a method suggested by the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997 of UK, which came into force on 01/12/1997. Due to space constraint, this article will deal only with the SIX-Step Method. Incidentally, in 2005, ISO had published a standard, (ISO–TS_16732– 2005: Fire safety engineering— Guidance on fire risk assessment), which gave guidance to safety professionals on risk assessments. This standard has been revised in 2012, which is in three parts. The Part–1: General, deals with Fire safety engineering Fire risk assessment. The ISO–16732 provides the conceptual basis for fire risk assessment by stating the principles underlying the quantification and interpretation of fire-related risk. According to ISO–16732, risk assessment is preceded by two steps, viz. (i) establishment of a context; including the fire safety objectives to be met, the subjects of the fire risk assessment to be performed, and related facts or assumptions and (ii) identification of the various hazards to be assessed. The ISO–16732, defines that a “hazard” is something with the potential to cause harm. According to this

standard, the subjects of fire risk assessment include the design and control of any part of the built environment, such as buildings or other structures. Fire risk assessment of a design consists of analysis of the risks, e.g. frequency and severity of harm, that are predicted to result, if the design is implemented, combined with an evaluation of the acceptability of those risks. As per ISO–16732, Fire risk assessment can be used to support any decisions about fire prevention or fire protection of new or existing built environments, such as buildings, where probabilistic aspects, such as fire ignition or the reliability of fire precautions, are important. Fire risk assessment can also be used to establish safety equivalent to a code, to assess the balance between the cost and the risk reduction benefit of a proposal, or to examine acceptable risk specifically for severe events. Fire risk assessment can also be used to provide general guidance or to support choices in the selection of scenarios and other elements of a deterministic analysis. The principles underlying the quantification of risk are presented in ISO–16732, in terms of the steps to be taken in conducting a fire risk assessment. The principles and concepts detailed in ISO–16732, can be applied to any fire safety objectives. However, ISO–16732, is not structured to confirm to any national regulation or other requirement regarding the use of fire risk assessment or type of analysis that is to be performed under the name of fire risk assessment. 3.0 THE SIX-STEP METHOD Though the SIX-Step method was www.ind-safety.com

FIRE INDUSTRY » Tech Update

initially introduced in the United Kingdom, very soon it became popular in other countries too due to its simplicity. The SIX-Step method entails a two-fold process: 1. Identifying the fire hazards: It involves the identification of the readily combustible or highly flammable materials, sources of heat, and unsatisfactory structural features, 2. Assessing the fire risk: Consider that a fire will occur and the consequences of such a fire on the employees in the workplace. As per the SIX-Step method, the overall process of fire risk assessment may be carried out as follows: Step 1: Identify the fire hazards, Step 2: Identify the people at risk, Step 3: Remove or reduce the fire hazards, Step 4: Assign the risk category, Step 5: Evaluate the existing fire safety arrangements, Step 6: Record the findings. 3.1 STEP 1: In Step 1, you can identify the fire hazards involved from readily combustible materials or highly flammable substances. These would include items such as paints and thinners, flammable solvents, solvent-based adhesives, flammable gases, combustible plastic foams, large areas of bare hardboard, highly flammable and/ or reactive chemicals or any other sources of fuel. It also involves in noting sources of heat such as flames or sparks from processes, sources of frictional heat, ovens, incinerators, oil or gas fired equipment or heaters, matches and lighters, ducts or flues, lightbulbs close to combustible materials, electrical leads, any electrical equipment, faulty wiring, portable heaters and any other sources of ignition.

many hazards. The items to be identified include ducts and flues, unstopped holes that have been cut into fire walls for the provision of services such as cables and pipework, large areas of hardboard, chipboard, or blockboard, uncompartmented roof spaces, excessively long escape routes and so on. 3.2 STEP 2: In Step 2, you can identify the people at risk in a fire. While identifying people who could be at risk in a fire, you have to consider the following things: • Those who may be asleep in the workplace, • Those present in large numbers, • Those who are unfamiliar with the layout of the workplace and/or the exit routes, • Those who may be exposed to a particular or specific fire risk, and • Those who have impaired sight, hearing or mobility. You would also have to take into account any persons who would be unable to react quickly enough or are unaware of the danger of fire because: • They work in remote areas, • They have learning difficulties or • They are outside contractors who are unaware of fire risks. 3.3 STEP 3: In Step 3, you can suggest the measures to remove or reduce the fire hazards, which have been identified in Step 1. For each of the hazards, consider whether it could be removed, reduced, replaced, separated, protected, repaired or cleaned. For example, it could be: • Remove excessive amounts of combustible materials, • Reduce the area of combustible wall linings, • Replace tungsten filament bulbs with fluorescent fittings and solvent-based adhesives with

water-based pastes, separate sources of heat from combustible materials, • Protect electrical equipment with thermostats, residual current devices and correctly rated fuses, • Repair torn upholstered furniture, • Clean dirty flues and ducts. The removal or reduction of hazards involved in this stage of the fire risk assessment can have enormous benefits at the end of the process, a much safer working environment will have been produced. Fire detection and suppression measures should also be reviewed at this stage. It should be reminded here that the suggestions offered at this stage should be done by assigning priority, i.e., immediately (first priority), in the medium term (second priority), or in the long term (third priority). 3.4 STEP 4: In Step 4, you can assign risk category. On completion of Step 3, depending upon what hazards still remain, we should assign a risk category to the workplace or, more likely, to individual parts of it. The risk categories are: low, normal and high. • Low Risk: where there is hardly any risk from fire, few combustible materials, no highly flammable substances, and virtually no sources of heat, • Normal Risk: where there are sufficient quantities of combustible materials and sources of heat to be of greater than low fire risk but where a fire would be likely to remain confined, or to spread but slowly, • High Risk: where there is a serious risk to life from fire, there are substantial quantities of combustible materials, there are any highly flammable substances, or there exists the likelihood of the rapid spread of fire, heat, or smoke. www.ind-safety.com

3.5 STEP 5: In Step 5, you will evaluate the existing fire safety measures are adequate or are in need of improvement. If improvements are necessary, the following steps can be considered: • The reduction of evacuation times/ escape route lengths, • The provision of additional escape routes, • The installation of more fire alarm call points, • The provision of more fire signs, • The installation of a sprinkler system, • The institution of better programmes of fire safety training, • The appointment of fire wardens. 3.6 STEP 6: In Step 6, you have to record the findings of the fire risk assessments. It entails recording the findings of the fire risk assessment. It should include the significant hazards found to be present, the details of any employee who are especially at risk, the details of disabled or handicapped persons to be evaluated in event of a fire emergency and the date on which the assessment was made. 4.0 CONCLUSION Fire risk assessment is recognized as an integral part of good management practice. It is an interactive process consisting of steps, which, when undertaken in sequence enable continual improvement in decision making. Fire risk management is a method of establishing the context, identifying, analyzing, treating, monitoring and communicating fire risks associated with any activity, function or process in a way that will enable organisations or workplaces to minimize losses, both human and property. When approaching a fire risk assessment, it should be borne in mind that there is no single correct way in which the assessment should 74 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

be made. No method is perfect, all have limitations of one sort or other. However, the methodology to be adopted should be a practical, structured &, above all, a logical one. Of course, the legal responsibilities for carrying out the fire risk assessment rests with the employer. Fire risk of the workplaces can be categorized based on the observations of the risk assessment team. It may be noted here that the risk categorization explained in Step 4, is a simple technic and is subjective, even though the assessment may sometimes lead to ambiguity. It should also be borne in mind that a fire risk assessment is not a onetime exercise, but one that needs to be reviewed and updated regularly. REFERENCES 1.

Biometric Access Control

Face Recognition

Mr. Kiron Kunte

ace recognition is one of the most flexible methods of biometric identification. It is an application that helps identify a person or verify a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database. Face recognition systems analyze specific features like the distance between the eyes, width of the nose, position of cheekbones, jaw line, chin and so forth. These numerical quantities are then combined in a single code that uniquely identifies each person. Face recognition technology is the fastest and least intrusive biometric technology. It only needs the most obvious individual identifier – the human face. Instead of requiring people to place their hand on a reader or precisely

78 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

position their eye in front of a scanner, face recognition systems unobtrusively take pictures of people’s faces as they enter a defined area. There is no intrusion or delay, and in most cases the subjects are entirely unaware of the process. They do not feel “under surveillance” or that their privacy has been invaded. How facial recognition works Every face has numerous distinguishable nodal points (landmarks), the different peaks and valleys that make up facial features. Each human face has approximately 80 nodal points. Some of these measured by the software are: • Distance between the eyes • Width of the nose • Depth of the eye sockets • The shape of the cheekbones • The length of the jaw line These nodal points are measured creating a numerical code, called a face print, repreenting the face in the database. In the past, facial recognition software has relied on a 2D image to compare or identify another 2D image from the database. To be effective and accurate,

the image captured needed to be of a face that was looking almost directly at the camera, with little variance of light or facial expression from the image in the database. This created a problem. In most instances the images were not taken in a controlled environment. Even the smallest changes in light or orientation could reduce the effectiveness of the system, so they couldn’t be matched to any face in the database, leading to a high rate of failure. 3D facial recognition has made face matching and recognition more accurate. This software uses a 3D model to provide more accuracy. 3D facial recognition uses distinctive features of the face where rigid tissue and bone is most apparent, such as the curves of the eye socket, nose and chin, to identify the subject. These areas are all unique and don’t change over time. Using depth and an axis of measurement that is not affected by lighting, 3D facial recognition can even be used in the dark. It has the ability to recognize a subject at different view angles with the potential to recognize up to www.ind-safety.com

variable subject being compared to a flat, stable image. New technology is addressing this challenge. When a 3D image is taken, different points (usually three) are identified. For example, the outside of the eye, the inside of the eye and the tip of the nose will be pulled out and measured. Once those measurements are in place, an algorithm is applied to the image to convert it to a 2D image. After conversion, the software compares the image with the 2D images in the database to find a potential match. 90 degrees (a face in profile). Using the 3D software, the system goes through a series of steps to verify the identity of an individual. Detection: Acquiring an image can be accomplished by digitally scanning an existing photograph (2D) or by using a video image to acquire a live picture of a subject (3D). Alignment: Once it detects a face, the system determines the head’s position, size and pose. The subject has the potential to be recognized up to 90 degrees, while with 2D, the head must be turned at least 35 degrees toward the camera. Measurement: The system then measures the curves of the face on a sub-millimetre scale and creates a template. Representation: The system translates the template into a unique code. This coding gives each template a set of numbers to represent the features on a subject’s face. Matching: If the image is 3D and the database contains 3D images, then matching will take place without any changes being made to the image. However, there is a challenge currently facing databases that are still in 2D images. 3D provides a live, moving www.ind-safety.com

Verification or Identification: In verification, an image is matched to only one image in the database (1:1). For example, an image taken of a subject may be matched to an image in the database to verify whether the subject is who he says he is. If identification is the goal, then the image is compared to all images in the database resulting in a score for each potential match (1:N). In this instance, one needs to take an image and compare it to a database of ‘mug shots’ to identify who the subject is. Applications Face recognition is ideal for high traffic areas that are open to the general public, such as: • Airports and railway stations • Corporations • Cash points • Stadiums • Public transportation • Financial institutions • Government offices • Businesses of all kinds • A potential tool for averting terrorist crimes Limitations Image quality affects how well facial-recognition algorithms work. The image quality of scanning video is quite low compared with that of a digital camera. Image size – Pixels captured matter. An

already small image size, coupled with a target distant from the camera, means that the detected face is only 100 to 200 pixels on a side. Further, having to scan an image for varying face sizes is a processor-intensive activity. Face angle - The relative angle of the target’s face influences the recognition score profoundly. When a face is enrolled in the recognition software, usually multiple angles are used (profile, frontal and 45-degree are common). The more direct the image (both enrolled and probe image) and the higher its resolution, the higher the score of any resulting matches. Processing and storage High-definition video requires a significant amounts of disk space. Processing every frame of video is an enormous undertaking, so usually only a fraction (10 percent to 25 percent) is actually run through a recognition system. To minimize total processing time, agencies can use clusters of computers. However, adding computers involves considerable data transfer over a network, which can be bound by input-output restrictions, further limiting processing speed. Summary : One of the strongest positive aspects of facial recognition is that it is non-intrusive. Verification or identification can be accomplished from two feet away or more, and without requiring the user to wait for long periods of time or do anything more than look at the camera. Face recognition is also very difficult to fool. It works by comparing facial landmarks - specific proportions and angles of defined facial features - which cannot easily be concealed by beards, eyeglasses or makeup. As with any developing technology, the incredible potential of facial recognition has limitations, but manufacturers are striving to enhance the usability and accuracy of the systems.

Metal detectable knives are cutting edge multi purpose tools

etal detectable knives come in all shapes and sizes, and used for various purposes. These knives are purposed for safety as well as utility, as they can be revealed by x-ray or other scanning devices, thus deterring criminals from smuggling them through airports or other locations. Metal detectable knives come in straight edge or scalloped blade design. Many are designed with retractable blades so they can be safely carried in a pocket or stowed away with other tools. The best knives are made from high carbon stainless steel, as these knives hold their sharpness longer and need less refreshing. Knives range in price from box store bargains to high quality collectible tools that cost thousands of dollars. A kitchen knife, or cook’s knife, is made for heavy duty use in the restaurant or catering fields. These metal detectable knives are made for fast, precise cutting and are made from the highest quality steel. A cook’s knife is an important tool of their trade; therefore, many chefs have their own prized

collection of gleaming steel slicing and carving tools, both straight-edged and scalloped. Scalloped knives are particularly useful for cutting meat, as the curved edge lets in air and helps the meat not stick to the blade. These scalloped edge knives are also popular with hunting and fishing enthusiasts, as they make for smooth cleaning of fish or game. Pointed nosed knives are used for puncturing or inserting into material. The most common metal detectable knives are single edge, which means the top of the blade is thicker and not sharpened, while the bottom of the knife does the cutting duty. For particularly tough cutting jobs, a serrated or partially serrated knife serves for sawing through material. Some metal detectable knives, like swan or penguin shaped knives, are disposable and have a metal detectable additive built in. Although designed for limited use, some of these models have twin blades for longer life. Many metal detectable knives are used for industrial purposes, such as

retractable box cutters and knives for cutting material or paper. Scissors are technically a type of knife, as they have steel blades and can be sharpened to a fine steel edge. The medical profession uses knives not only as surgical implements, but for cutting safety belts or other restrictions for patients who have been in an accident. Lastly, there are some knives designed for self-defense like combat or tactical knives, and they are also sold in many outlets. Some of these knives are made or ceramic to be inscrutable to metal detectors and are illegal in many areas. For safety sake, it is always advisable to only purchase and use metal detectable knives and only carry them for their intended use and within area regulations. In the right hands and for the correct purpose, metal detectable knives are reliable, important tools with many uses. When teaching your child to cook, clean fish or do other tasks, make sure they are old enough and given the proper instruction to use metal detectable knives responsibly.

Sparkling Success for Hikvision CCTV Solution

hought to produce around 90 percent of the world’s jade and gems, Myanmar is particularly famous for its ruby, jade, and sapphire stones. The colour and quality of the country’s gems have made them popular around the world and they fetch record-breaking prices at international auctions. Some of the biggest sales are held in the Mani Yadanar Jade Hall in Myanmar’s capital city, Nay Pyi Taw. So when, after just four years, images from the old analog CCTV system degraded significantly only weeks away from the sales, an all-IP totally-new solution for the 24 acre compound was an urgent priority. Introduction Myanmar, previously known as Burma, began selling jade and other precious stones at specialist gem shows in 1964. With demand continuing to increase, the ‘Gems and Jade Emporiums’ are now held three times a year at the Mani Yadanar Jade Hall. This three storey dome-shaped structure is owned by the Myanmar Gems and

82 | JANUARY 2016 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Jewellery Entrepreneur Association and lies within a 24 acre compound, with the Jade warehouses lying on the North and South sides. A 142-camera CCTV system had been installed in 2011 to watch over the multi-million dollar sales but, after just four years, the image quality was badly affected by degradation of the long distance coaxial cables and damage to the electrical cables, DC power adaptors and the CCTV camera LEDs. In addition, new jade warehouses had been constructed within the compound. With the next Gem Emporium due in the middle of June 2015, more than ten of the world’s premier CCTV suppliers, including Hikvision, submitted bids in early March 2015 to install a digital IP CCTV surveillance system. Nawarat Global Technology, working with Hikvision, was awarded the contract on 24th March with a completion date of 11th June. The Solution A total of 161 Hikvision IP cameras were specified to cover the entire compound www.ind-safety.com

SECURITY INDUSTRY » Tech Update

connected to five 32-channel Hikvision NVRs in the central control room, plus three further NVRs in secondary control rooms, through more than 3.5km of shielded fibre cables, with accompanying electrical cabling for the centralized power supply. A total of 54 IP cameras now cover the three levels of the Jade Hall while the remaining 107 cameras are used to monitor the 24-acre compound. The vast majority of the cameras are DS-2CD2T32-I5 bullet cameras, with 148 installed throughout the complex, with a variety of mini-dome, dome and speed-dome cameras completing the line-up. Implementation : “When the security solution at the Jade Hall was renewed, we naturally mandated a solution that would fulfill all of our security requirements throughout the complex,” says Mr Thar Tun, Systems Integrator at the Myanmar Gems and Jewellery Entrepreneur Association. “However, we also wanted to enable customers to view live images of the jewellery within the hall and, to meet this challenge, a system capable of supplying live feeds onto two television screens from a single Network Video Recorder was required. “However, the biggest problem we faced during the integration process lay with the outer buildings surrounding the Jade Hall within the complex. The solution required us to install underground fibre cables leading to all of these buildings from a centralized electrical power supply. In a very short space of time, we put down over 3.5km of 4, 12 and 24-core fibre cable, all accompanied by 3-core electrical cable for the centralized power system. We also put in over 12km of network cable for the IP cameras. “The new solution also had to meet our requirements for reliability, robustness, durability, efficiency, ease of maintenance, high video quality on all IP cameras, and a minimum of three months’ storage duration on hard www.ind-safety.com

drives.” Commenting on the choice of the Hikvision DS-2CD2T32-I5 3-megapixel bullet camera as the mainstay of the system, Mr Tun highlighted its 80 metre IR range. “This camera is especially designed for low-illumination environments with true day/night cycling capability. The DS-2CD2T32-I5 also features 3D Digital Noise Reduction, Digital WDR and an IP66 weatherproof casing,” he says. “The camera is also equipped with a wide variety of SMART alarm triggers, including Line Crossing, Intrusion Detection, Motion detection, Dynamic analysis, Tampering alarm, Network disconnect, IP address conflict, and Storage exception – all of which we expect to make use of as we optimize and refine the system. The combination of all these features makes the DS-2CD2T32-I5 an ideal primary camera for the new surveillance solution.” Of the central control centre, Mr Tun says, “Rounding out the solution is the main control room, containing twelve 42 inch LED television screen, five 32 channel DS-9632NI-XT NVR’s, each equipped with sixteen 4-Terabye hard drives, enabling the Jade Hall’s security department to store footage for up to three months. The control room is monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week by a team of six. In addition to the main control room, there are also three additional sub-control rooms within the complex. Two of these are located at the security gate, and the other in the main management office in the Jade Hall. Within each sub-control room is one DS-7732NI-ST NVR with two 4TB hard drives and one 32 inch LED television screen.” Installation : The installation process was performed by Mr Ye Tun Win, Managing Director, and his team of engineers, at Nawarat Global Technology Co., Ltd. On the installation process, Mr Win says, “We successfully installed the entire 161-camera security and surveillance system within 57

working days at Manai Yadanar Jade Hall, making this project the biggest IP camera Installation project yet undertaken in Myanmar. The project began on April 4th, 2015, and concluded on June 10th. In addition, we also installed 43 IP cameras within the Myanmar Gems Trade Center, in Yangon, which was opened by of Myanmar Gem and Jewellery Entrepreneur Association in September 2014.” Looking Towards the Future On the future of the new surveillance solution, Mr Tun says, “The project was successfully completed in time for the Fifty Second Gems and Jade Emporium, which was held on June 24th. “So far it has proven to be a resounding success, exponentially increasing the efficiency of our security solution through Hikvision’s SMART technology, and making the job of our security teams much easier, through features such as Intrusion Detection, and Motion Detection.
