Victaulic recently introduced Victaulic Tools for Revit, an innovative Autodesk® Revit® MEP add-in that increases drawing productivity, solves troublesome pipe routing problems and enables the creation of construction and fabrication documentation within Revit. The productivity tools within Victaulic Tools for Revit allow users to design virtual, intelligent models with all mechanical or pump room details in half the time compared

BIM systems offer considerable benefits when installing pipe, and Victaulic has taken extensive steps to allow users to effectively integrate its products. to current routing techniques within Revit. Recent product innovations on show at ACREX - Hall 05, Booth L-1A- include the company´s new and improved Quick Vic Style 107N line of Installation-Ready rigid couplings. With installation up to ten times faster than conventional pipe joining methods, InstallationReady systems were recently installed in the Ruby Hall Clinic in Hinjewadi, Pune. Ease of installation and maintenance – to minimise patient disruption -were critical and Victaulic couplings, valves and fittings were used to join

the hot and chilled water piping systems, providing fast, clean and safe installation in the mechanical room. Flexible couplings were chosen to accommodate expansion and contraction on pumps and chillers and with no noxious fumes or flames to consider, Victaulic provided a major advantage over other joining methods such as welding and flanging. “In so many sectors today, timescales for construction, repair and expansion have become increasingly tight, especially when it comes to vital systems such as HVAC,” says Pankaj Soni, Victaulic Country Manager

Xtralis VESD Aaspirating Smoke Detectors Provide Fire Prevention for the new Abu Dhabi Airport Midfield Terminal Xtralis VESDA VLS aspirating smoke detectors will provide fire prevention at the newAbu Dhabi International Airport Midfield Terminal Building (MTB), scheduled to open in 2017. The MTB will be the largest in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and one of the region’s most architecturally impressive structures. Xtralis VESDA & VESDA-E aspirating smoke detectors (ASD) now protect many of the United Arab Emirates super structures, including the Burj Khalifa, Emirates Palace Hotel, and Dubai & Abu Dhabi International Airports. Xtralis VESDA brand is the world’s most dominant aspirating smoke detector, with greater than65% ASD worldwide market share, according to estimates from IHS Technology. The new Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC) will have 700,000 sq-mof internal space for a passenger terminal (MTB), cargo facility, and restaurant and retail space. The size of the MTC is so impressive that it will be visible from 1.5 km away. The facility can accommodate 8,500 passengers per hour and up to 30 million per year. The central space of the terminal building could hold three full-sized football (soccer) pitches and features a ceiling 52mtall at its highest point, taller than the Emirates Palace and will include 28,000 sq-m of retail outlets and restaurants. Chief among the challenges

About Xtralis

with protecting the MTB was the massive open space where smoke will be diluted, an effect compounded by air-conditioning systems. VESDA’s early and reliable detection combined with the VLS capability of monitoring the protected space by sectors were key factors that resulted in the selection of the Xtralis solution. Additionally, temperatures in the terminal could range from hot to cold, depending on the weather, and VESDA was the only detector that could ensure early and reliable detection under these conditions. Xtralis provides comprehensive safety and security solutions for airports, including smoke and gas detection, perimeter security, and intrusion detection. The VESDA LaserScanner (VLS) is similar to the VESDA LaserPlus (VLP) detector, but also includes a valve mechanism in the inlet manifold and software to control the airflow from the four sectors (pipes).

FEBRUARY 2016

This configuration enables a single zone to be divided into four separate sectors, for example, distinguishing between separate voids within a room. The VLS draws air from all sectors in use. If the smoke level reaches the Adaptive Scan Threshold, the VLS performs a Fast Scan of each pipe to identify which pipe is carrying smoke. If more than one pipe is transporting smoke, the sector with the highest smoke concentration is scanned first. Once Fast Scan is completed and the sector with the highest smoke concentration is identified, the VLS continues to closely monitor all four sectors (pipes) to monitor fire growth and maintain full protection of the area. There are four alarm levels (Alert, Action, Fire 1 and Fire 2) for each sector

As one of the host cities, Newcastle created a fanzone area as an extension to its stadium for spectators to watch and enjoy all of the matches, as well as get involved in lots of fun rugby-related activities. With thousands of fans on site at any one point, Newcastle City Council chose to add the Sony SNC-VM772R 4K video security camera to its existing network to ensure maximum security and safety of the public.

Background When looking for a security solution to meet the demands of the busy site, Newcastle City Council made it clear that optimum image quality was a top priority in order to ensure the most effective monitoring possible. With a large area to cover, it was crucial that the solution would be able to capture the entire site and the minute details of the scene to provide round the clock surveillance.

Challenges The site required a robust security solution which offered broad coverage and the best footage quality. The solution

needed to deliver all the benefits of 4K technology, particularly high image resolution, without adding to the strain on the video network. Newcastle City Council needed to cover a wide field of view on the site whilst simultaneously having the ability to zoom in to areas of interest within the scene to make identification undisputable every time.

Sony Solution Sony’s 4K SNC-VM772R security camera was installed to monitor the fanzone area. The 4K camera combines the enhanced resolution of up to 20MP with impressive low-light sensitivity, bandwidth optimization features and intelligent scene capture capability (to automatically deliver the best picture quality depending on the scene), ideal for on-site surveillance at the Rugby World Cup fanzone. Paul Angus, Community Safety Officer at Newcastle City Council explained: “When we were looking for a security solution on site, we wanted a top of the range product which delivered uncompromising image quality. Since installing the solution we have been very impressed with the enhanced image quality and wider scene capture. Compared to analogue

and HD models, we’ve been able to see details within a scene much more clearly and can easily differentiate between colours and shapes in the images we capture.”

Results The fully integrated, easy-tomanage system has delivered comprehensive security at the fanzone during the Rugby World Cup. Traditionally, high resolution imaging has come at the expense of low-light sensitivity. The high sensitivity and 1.0 type 20MP Exmor R™ sensor used in the SNC-VM772R means that 4K high resolution recording is maintained regardless of lighting levels, enabling clear image capture in light and dark conditions. The implementation of 4K has created a streamlined security solution on the site, so identification can be accurate each and every time. The camera has seamlessly integrated within the site’s large, existing security network, providing high image capture in the site’s key area.

Why Sony Was Selected Newcastle City Council tasked Universal Systems Solutions (USS) with providing detailed coverage of the entire site when it was at full capacity.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

FEBRUARY 2016

The organisation entrusted USS to deliver the quality security solution it needed and thanks to the depth of USS’s expertise and strong partnership with Sony, the company was able to seamlessly fulfill its customer’s requirements. This was achieved by implementing a reliable solution which fitted with the existing Sony models, providing 4K image coverage in the required area at a low bandwidth. Kevin Bruce, Director at USS says of the solution: “Having worked with Sony for many years, we remain impressed by the breadth and quality of its video security solutions which meet the high standards of our customers. The combination of the 4K camera’s lower bandwidth, night time viewing and back light compensation made it the ideal option for Newcastle City Council’s fanzone. Sony’s technology has been core to delivering against the brief and migrating to the latest futureproofed surveillance system for this project.” USS was impressed with the SNC-VM772R’s hassle-free fitting and ease of installation on site. The SNC toolbox mobile, a convenient app that provides a simpler and smarter video security camera setup for installers, meant the camera could be easily installed at a very high point and managed via a smartphone, omitting the need for the installers to climb up & down ladders to adjust the field of view.

Q. What are the threats for you as of today? There are also some internal threats such as the information & awareness about the quality of fire equipments. Buyers must be aware of the consequences in the absence of proper working of the equipment at the time of need. Price of human life is much costlier than few bucks. Few assemblers mislead users and put their lives in danger for some profits. They do not have technological assistance and proper manufacturing facility & hence required components are procured from various sources at cheap cost without taking in consideration quality aspect and they only assemble it in their units and the production is of cheap quality. Whereas the manufacturers like us

Highlighting the Fire and Security Association of India, Mr. Ajit Raghavan, introduced and explained the activities conducted by FSAI towards creating a Safe & Secure India through its 13 chapters/ sub chapters across India. He announced that FSAI had signed MOU signed with NFPA during the Intersec this year in Dubai, which will be a turning point in the Fire, Safety & Security industry in India. He also announced that FSAI had signed an MOU with the Council of Architecture for incorporating fire safety and security at designing stage of all buildings. Mr. Garry Singh said that safety and security risks were constantly changing with the evolvement of new technologies. Today, the need of an hour was to counter such threats to minimize the losses of lives and property. Mr. A.K. Sharma, Director of Delhi Fire Services explained that the Heritage Build-

He agreed that it was somewhat difficult making the heritage sections of the city compliant to the new bylaws but nonetheless DFS is leaving no stone unturned for trying to increase the safety in such areas. He also talked about an enigma of applying By-Laws on Smart Cities and said that DFS is becoming more proactive by bringing in the fire service paperwork on an electronic platform. He said all the information about Fire Safety Norms, NOC, clearances and licenses would be made available on the web soon. Mr. Gyaneshwar Singh-IPS, also an Ex – GM Security Airport Authority of India found it necessary to maintain the balance between growth and security. He said that the risks to Aviation Industry had been always high because it was only always a soft target for maximum damage but gave

a high level of publicity. He said security was now being included at the design stage of the airports itself which was a welcome change. He stressed that urban policing and rural policing were hugely different and needed different ways of tackling. Smart cities shall need smart policing for which authorities were aware of. The Chief Guest at the conference, Mr. G.A. Bhat spoke about the enormous migration issues that Delhi is facing and which makes safety and security a big challenge. He mentioned the problems that Fire services across the country are facing because of the lesser no. of fire stations along with lesser no. of Fire-fighting staff. He said that the Modern Smart City will definitely have the latest fire safety and security systems/technologies in place but we shouldn’t forget that it will also lure anti - social elements and criminals or terrorists which make it important for us to foresee such threats and equip ourselves to

The first Security Panel discussion on “Role of Security in Preventing and Responding to Disasters” highlighted the lack of seriousness in tackling the Disaster Management because of our Indian Armed Forces/Para Military Forces were only relied upon to do the job. The role of Security in responding to a disaster is very similar to the day-to-day role of public safety and supporting the community. In preparing for a disaster, security professional trust in their training. Government authorities need to provide a more effective framework for unleashing the full potential of private sector contribution. This framework can include policies that contribute directly to safer industrial operation, and incentives for business to become more involved in Disaster Management Programs. There is a need to create awareness on community role and responsibility. As a country we need to move towards disaster resilience. The next Safety Panel Discussion delved on “Ensuring Safety of inhabitants: Challenges, Perspectives and Strategies”. The emergency

Safety of occupants of the buildings shall be addressed at a design stage and hence role of architects in planning of designed safe buildings needs emphasis. There was an urgent need of mapping the vulnerability profile of City of Delhi. Safe Transportation like Metro etc. is essential and speedy mode of transport which is required for the Modern Smart City. Retrofitting of ancient/heritage buildings shall need to be undertaken for their survival in case of natural disasters. FSAI Delhi Chapter also presented a surprising element for its audience to create the awareness amongst the public in the form of a road plays. The scintillating,

heart-touching ‘Nukkad Natak’ on Fire & Safety was performed by the college students and was applauded by many. In the last Fire Panel Discussion “Fire & Life Safety System: Transformation & Transitions and Transformation – Challenges & Mitigation”, it was emphasized that the intent of Project Cost Control over Safety should not be compromised at any cost.

What You Need to Know About Natural Gas Detectors

atural gas is an energy source that is commonly used in homes for cooking, heating, and water heating. It is primarily composed of methane. (Methane is a highly flammable chemical compound consisting of one carbon atom surrounded by four hydrogen atoms.) Although it only happens rarely, a natural gas leak can sometimes occur inside the home. A natural gas leak can be dangerous because it increases the risk of fire or explosion. Your local gas company works hard to provide adequate warning in the event of a gas leak. Because methane-and therefore, natural gas--does not have any odor, the gas company adds a warning “rotten-egg” smell (mercaptan or a similar sulfur-based compound) that can be easily detected by most people. However, people who have a diminished sense of smell may not be able to rely upon this safety mechanism. If you have a concern about your ability to smell the additive that signals a gas leak, you need

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

FEBRUARY 2016

to see a physician and use a different safety signal. A gas detector can be an important tool to help protect you and your family. Things to consider when selecting a natural gas detector : Natural gas detector units vary greatly in price, features, and ease of installation. Some of them must be professionally installed and may be connected to your home security system. Other brands resemble smoke detectors and are easy for you to install. Regardless of which detector you choose, certain facts are important: Alarm activation : It is important that the natural gas detector will not be set off by other elements in your home, such as cigarette smoke or humidity level. Many detectors will respond to other dangerous chemicals in addition to natural gas, such as propane (LP). • Lower Explosive Limit : The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the lowest amount of gas that will cause an explosion. Gas detectors vary in the

www.ind-safety.com

SAFETY INDUSTRY

level of gas that will set off an alarm (for example, 15% of the LEL, 20% of the LEL, etc.). Detectors that sense lower levels of gas will warn you more quickly of the presence of natural gas than detectors that sense higher levels. • Location of detector : The distance between your gas detector and the potential sources of a gas leak is important. Gas detectors are similar to smoke detectors, in that they need to be installed in a location where their audible warning is likely to be heard and where the material of concern-natural gas--is likely to accumulate, such as a basement. The installation instructions for your gas detector will assist you in identifying appropriate locations in which to install your detector. If you have multiple sources of natural gas in your home, you might need two gas detectors or one detector with dual sensors. This is especially true if the gas sources are spaced far apart. • Type of alarm : Some gas detectors use both a light and a sound to alert you to a gas leak. Some use only a sound. Regardless of which type of alarm you prefer, you should make sure that you will be alerted from any area of your home. An alarm that you can’t see or hear will not help you. • Gas detector maintenance : Most gas detectors are either battery-operated, or have a battery back-up system for a 230-volt electrical power supply. Often, there is a “test” button on the gas detector that will allow you to make sure that the detector’s alarm and batteries are working properly. Remember to check the batteries and the alarm regularly. Some gas detectors will warn you if there is a power loss or other malfunction. Read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully so that you know how and when to

www.ind-safety.com

test your detector to make sure it is working properly. Gas detectors use sensors to find out if there are dangerous levels of natural gas nearby. Like batteries, sensors can wear out. When purchasing a gas detector, ask about the average life of the sensor. Also ask if there is a warning to indicate when the sensor needs replacing. You also may want to know whether the sensor can be replaced if it wears out. Some types of gas detectors must be calibrated in order to continue functioning properly. Calibration is the method by which an instrument is finetuned to provide accurate measurements. Ask if the gas detector model that you are buying will require this service. If the answer is “yes,” find out how often you need to have it checked, and ask for the name of the firm that can perform the calibration. What to do if your gas detector alerts you to a natural gas leak 1. Leave the house immediately. 2. DO NOT makes calls from your home. Phones are capable of producing a spark, which could start a fire or explosion. Contact your local gas utility company or call ….. from a phone outside and away from your home. 3. DO NOT light a match or other combustible material. Likewise, DO NOT turn any light switches on or off, and DO NOT plug or unplug electrical appliances such as a television or vacuum cleaner. These activities also can produce a spark that could start a fire or explosion. 4. Do not re-enter the house until the gas company finds the source of the leak and corrects it. Medical complications/symptoms: Exposure to low levels of natural gas is

TECH UPDATE

not harmful to your health. However, if a gas leak is severe, the amount of oxygen available for breathing could be dramatically reduced, which can lead to asphyxia. Symptoms of asphyxia include • Dizziness • Fatigue • Nausea • Headache • Irregular breathing Exposure to extremely high levels of natural gas can cause loss of consciousness or even death. Treatments: An individual exposed to natural gas asphyxia needs to get fresh air immediately and medical attention as soon as possible. If the person is unconscious and not breathing, move him or her to a location where there is fresh air and administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until help arrives. Problems associated with the elderly: Smell sensitivity begins to decrease in the seventh decade of life. A large segment of the elderly population has difficulty detecting mercaptan, the foul-smelling chemical added as a warning agent to natural gas. For individuals with a diminished sense of smell and taste, natural gas detectors provide an early warning before gas builds to dangerous levels. Sources of natural gas • Leaks from gas appliances, heating systems, and water heaters • Leaks from interior natural gas piping systems • Migration of natural gas indoors from leaks in outdoor piping systems For more information, Website: www.ambetronics.com

1.0 INTRODUCTION Welding, cutting and allied operations take place in a wide variety of locations under many different conditions. These operations are carried out in factories, building construction sites, pits, vats, mines, tanks, ship compartments and literally everywhere that metals are joined or cut. It is a major industrial process, which uses heat and / or pressure to join metals. Among the different welding techniques, arc welding has become the most widely used. The accidents happening during the welding process are very typical and involve number of injuries. Hot metal slag and spatter often can be dangerous to the operator and to the surroundings. Many welding, cutting and allied processes produce fumes and gases which may be harmful to workers health. In confined spaces the gases might displace breathing air and cause asphyxiation. Excess noise is a known health hazard in welding, cutting and allied operations. Arc welding emits harmful rays like ultraviolet rays and infrared rays and fumes which may cause unpleasantness. This article will focus on some of the hazards involved in welding & cutting operations and precautions to be taken to mitigate them. Before we discuss the various hazards involved in welding & cutting operations, it will be worthwhile to discuss briefly on some of the popular methods followed for welding & cutting operations.

2.0 METHODS OF WELDING

The methods of welding can be classified mainly into two viz.: (i) Oxy-Acetylene Welding and (ii) Arc Welding, which are dealt in brief below. 2.1 Oxy-Acetylene Welding

Oxy-acetylene welding is a very common welding process. The combination of oxygen and acetylene produces a flame temperature over 3100O C making it ideal for welding & cutting. Oxy-acetylene welding is also known as oxy-fuel welding or oxy welding or gas welding and oxy fuel cutting in which fuel gases and oxygen are used to weld and cut metals. In recent decades, oxy-acetylene has been less widely utilized in industrial operations as other specially devised technologies have been adopted. However, it is widely used for welding pipes and tubes, as well as repair work. It is also frequently well suited, and favoured for fabricating some types of metal-based art work. It may be kept in mind that oxy-acetylene welding has an advantage over electric welding and cutting processes, in situations where accessing electricity would present difficulties. In oxy-acetylene welding, the flame produced by the combination of the gases, melts the metal faces of the work pieces to be joined, causing them to flow together. A filler metal alloy is normally added and sometimes be used to prevent oxidation and facilitate the metal union.

The apparatus used in gas welding consists basically of an oxygen source and fuel gas source (usually cylinders), two pressure regulators and two flexible hoses (one of each for each cylinder) and a torch (See Fig 01 & 02). Usually welding tip is mounted on the end of the torch handle and fuel & gas mixture pass through it to feed the flame. Welding tips have only one hole, while cutting tips have a centrally located hole with a number of smaller holes located around it, in a circular pattern. During cutting, the oxygen comes from the centre hole and preheat flames come from the holes around the centre hole. Now torches are available in various designs incorporating many safety devices (See Fig 03).

Oxygen Cylinders The gaseous oxygen is normally compressed into cylinders. The cylinder when full, normally contain oxygen at a pressure of 139.2 Kg/cm2. Oxygen is colourless and odourless. It supports and promotes combustion, but is not flammable. For identification, oxygen cylinders are painted black.

www.ind-safety.com

Acetylene Cylinders Acetylene is the fuel gas normally used for welding and cutting. It is produced by the chemical reaction between water and calcium carbide. It is a highly combustible gas having an explosive range when mixed with air or oxygen in the proportion from 2% to 82%. Acetylene may be readily identified by its characteristic pungent smell. Acetylene cylinders are painted maroon for identification. When acetylene is mixed with oxygen from cylinder in the ratio of one to one, a flame having a temperature of approximately 3140O C, is obtained on ignition of the mixed gases at a blow pipe nozzle. The acetylene cylinders are charged at a pressure of 17.57 Kg/m2. At the base of the cylinder and on the cylinder valve, a bursting disk safety plug device is fitted to guard against excessive built up of pressure within the cylinder. It may be kept in mind that the user should under no circumstances tamper with these fittings. Copper pipe must never be used for coupling, because, the copper in contact

with acetylene may form a dangerously explosive compound of copper acetylide. 2.2 Arc Welding

There has been a tremendous growth in the field of arc welding. Resistance spot welding is one of the oldest of the electric welding process in use by Industry today. The weld is made by a combination of heat, pressure and time. In arc welding, the arc is struck between an electrode and workpieces connected to an AC or DC supply. The temperature is around 4000O C when the workpieces fuse together. Usually molten metal is added to the joint, either by melting the electrode itself or by melting a separate filler rod, which is not carrying current. Conventional arc welding is done manually by means of covered or coated consumable electrode hand-held in an electrode holder. However, many fully automatic electronic welding process are also carried in industry. Arc welding use a continuous electrical discharge (an electric arc) to generate high temperature of 3000O C to 30,000O C. The electric arc is maintained at the gap between the electrical conductors, i.e. the electrode and the workpiece. The arc can be maintained and moved to melt part of the workpiece and fill on filler metals as required to form a weld. Welding fumes and gases are produced during the welding process as by products in the form of a welding plume. The heat

and ultraviolet radiation from the welding arc also generate potentially harmful gases in the surrounding air. Welders and other workers nearby are exposed to all of these substances. It is estimated that about 80% of all welding is accounted for by three major arc welding methods, viz.: (i) Shielded Metal Arc Welding (ii) Metal Inert Gas Welding and (iii) Tungsten Inert Gas Welding. These methods are used to weld four major types of metals, viz.: (i) Mild Steel (ii) Stainless Steel & High Alloy Steels and (iii) Aluminium & Galvanised Steel. Shielded Metal Arc Welding Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is the most common arc welding process. It is also known as Manual Metal Arc Welding. It uses a short length of consumable electrode, which melts as it maintains the arc. Metal with characteristics similar to the metal being welded is melted off the electrode and carried across the arc to become the filler metal of the weld. The electrode is fed into the arc as fast as it melts to maintain a constant arc length. The electrode is coated with a complex mixture of chemical compounds, which perform important functions in the welding process. The principal role of the coating is to release a blanket of inert gas such as carbon dioxide to keep air out of the arc zone to prevent oxidation and contamination while welding is in progress. The composition of the coatings varies with the metal being welded. Metal Inert Gas Welding Metal Inert Gas Welding (MIG) uses an uncoated consumable wire that is fed continuously down the middle of the welding torch. A ring like tube around the wire transports an inert gas such as argon, helium or carbon dioxide from an outside source to the arc zone to prevent oxidation of the weld. Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) is a variation of MIG welding. This process uses a hollow consumable wire, the core of which contains various chemicals that generate shielding gases and strengthen the weld.

FEBRUARY 2016

Tungsten Inert Welding Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode, which maintains the arc and provides sufficient heat to join the metals. If filler metal is needed, it is added in the form of a rod held close to the arc, so it will melt and be deposited at the weld. Externally supplied shielding gases may or may not be used in TIG, depending on the metal being welded. 3.0 HAZARDS IN WELDING The hazards involved in welding and cutting operations may be divided into two groups, viz., (i) Fire and Explosion Hazards and (ii) Health Hazards, which are dealt below: 3.1 Fire and Explosion Hazards

Welding, cutting and allied processes produce molten metal, sparks, slag and hot work surfaces. These can cause fire or explosions if precautionary measures are not followed. During the operations, sparks and spatter fly-off. Flying sparks are the main cause of fires and explosions in welding and cutting. The sparks and molten metal can travel greater distances when falling. It may be kept in mind that the sparks can travel up to 36 feet from the work area. Sparks can even pass through or lodged in cracks, pipe holes, and other small openings in floors, walls or partitions, and roofs leading contact with combustibles. The combustible material inside a workplace or buildings include: wood, paper, rags, clothing, plastic, chemicals, flammable liquids and gasses & dusts. Parts of workplaces or buildings such as: floors, partitions, and roofs may also be combustible. The typical combustible materials outside workplaces or buildings include dry leaves, dry gas, and bush. 3.1.1 General Precautions Although low voltage current is used in normal arc welding, welding currents are high, due to the usage of equipment operated at power supply line voltage. The risk of electric shock should not be ignored, especially in cramped spaces or

in insuring positions. Therefore, before welding commences, the earthing installation on arc welding equipment should always be checked. Cables and connections should be sound and of adequate capacity. A proper earthing clamp or bolted terminal should always be used. Where two or more welding machines are earthed to the same structure, or where other portable electric tools are also in use, earthing should be supervised by a competent person. The working position or place used for welding and cutting operations should be dry, secure and free from dangerous obstructions. A well-arranged, well lighted, properly ventilated and tidy workplace is important. If the work is carried out in confined spaces or dangerous positions, additional electrical protection can be installed in the welding circuit, ensuring that only extremely low voltage current is available at the electrode holder, when welding is not taking place. Jaws and connections of electrode holders should be cleaned and tightened periodically to prevent overheating. Provision should also be made to accommodate the electrode holder safely when not in use by means of an insulated hook or a fully insulated holder should be used. Plastic tubes and PVC-covered cables should be used for all supplies from the transformer to the electrode holder. Dragging of cable and plastic gas supply tubes across hot plates or welds must be avoided. Heavy articles left hot on completion of welding should always be marked â&#x20AC;&#x153;hotâ&#x20AC;? as a warning to other workers. Rubber tubes and rubber covered cables must not be used anywhere near the high-frequency discharge, because the ozone produced will rot the rubber. Dirt and metallic dust can cause a breakdown in the high-frequency discharge unit, which should be cleaned regularly by blowing out with compressed air. In high pressure gas welding installations, both the oxygen and the fuel gas, such as acetylene, hydrogen, propane supplied to the torch are obtained from

cylinders, in which they are stored at high pressure. The hazards encountered and numerous precautions required in using compressed gas cylinders are dealt in details in the Indian Gas Cylinders Rules, 2005. The welders and supervisors are advised to follow these provisions. In addition, the following precautions should be scrupulously observed during the gas welding and allied operations: i. The regulators fitted to the cylinders should be designed for the gas in use. It may be born in mind that an acetylene regulator should not be used with hydrogen or coal gas. ii. Oxygen and acetylene cylinders must be stored separately and only on fire resistant premises devoid of flammable materials. In case of fire, they may be readily removed. iii. The colour coding in force or recommended for identification of cylinders and accessories should be followed. For example, oxygen must be kept in black cylinders with blue

hose, acetylene cylinders in maroon with red hose (See Fig 04), and other combustible gases in red cylinders. The Indian Standard IS 4379 (1981): Identification of contents of industrial gas cylinders, recommends colour for various cylinders, which may be followed. 3.1.2 Backfires and Flashbacks Backfires and flashbacks are the most common hazards in welding and cutting operations. Backfire occurs in the torch itself and reaches only into the welding or cutting torch tip and it never travels beyond the torch. However, the flashback is the most dangerous type, and in this case, the flame clearly reaches the fuel gas supply source through the cutting torch and hoses. The flame burns back into or even beyond the mixing chamber and may travel through the hoses. It may be noted here that if backfire occurs and if the torch is not shut off immediately, and if the conditions causing the backfire are not corrected, then flashback occurs. In case of flashback, the flame action has an explosive violence. A flashback can occur in oxygen hose as well as in acetylene hose also. When conducting oxy fuel cutting and welding operations, operators can experience backfires or flashbacks. Check valves and flashback arrestors are some of the safety devices used for protecting workers involved in oxy fuel cutting and allied operations. A check valve is a device that is designed to prevent unintentional back flow of gases. A flashback arrestor (flame arrestor) is a device that prevent the propagation of flame upstream. Note that these devices reduce the volume of gases available at the tip/nozzle which in turn arrest the potential backfires and flashbacks. Typical check valves and flashback arrestors are illustrated in figure 3. 3.1.3 Fire Preventions As the chances of fire during the gas welding operations are very high, attention should be paid to surrounding walls, floors, nearby objects or waste

materials. All combustible materials should be removed or adequately protected by sheet metal. It may be kept in mind that tarpaulins should be never used for protecting combustible materials. Wooden structures should be avoided or protected. If welding operations are carried out on wooden floors, it should be covered or wetted thoroughly. If flammable materials are stored in adjoining rooms or on the floor below the work area, they should be removed to a safe position. The workplace and surrounding area must be clean of anything which may catch fire from welding vessels which have contained flammable substances. Alloys rich in magnesium or other combustible metals should be kept away from the welding flame. If a fire risk is present, a responsible person should keep the welding site under observation for at least an hour after the completion of the work. As many metals, clothing and other materials become actively combustible in the presence of oxygen, gas welding oxygen should never be released into the air in a confined space. Gas cutting operations should never be undertaken in a confined space without proper ventilation. Suitable fire extinguishing apparatus should be always kept at hand. In case of low pressure plant using an acetylene generator, fire buckets of dry sand should be made available. Fire extinguishers of dry powder or carbon di-oxide, can be used for fire prevention. In any case water must not be used for fire prevention. 3.1.4 Explosion Preventions The chances of an explosion during the gas welding is high. Explosions can occur when acetylene gas is present in air in any proportion between 2% and 80%. Thus, adequate ventilation should be provided when acetylene cylinders are used for gas welding. Welding and cutting can cause explosions in spaces containing flammable gases, vapours, liquids or dusts. All arc welding operations should be screened to protect other persons working nearby. Where the work is carried out at fixed benches or in welding shops,

permanent screens should be erected where possible, otherwise temporary screens should be used. The screens should be opaque of sturdy construction and of a flame resistant material. The use of black paints for the inside of welding booths has become an accepted procedure, but the paint used should produce matt finish. Adequate ambient lighting should be provided to prevent eye strains leading to headaches. Welding booths and portable screens should be checked regularly to ensure that these are giving adequate protection to the persons working nearby. The precautions to be taken during arc cutting operations do not differ materially from those required in arc welding. However, since the currents used are generally higher, more and heavier protective clothing is generally required. When the carbon arc cutting method is used, a good helmet is to be preferred to a hand shield. Spats of leather or asbestos should be worn to protect the feet from falling molten metal.

the body may occur owing to spatting of incandescent metal particles. Intense radiations from the flame and incandescent metal in the weld pool can cause discomfort to the operator and person in the vicinity of the operation and therefore precautions are necessary. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation may also cause overheating and burning of the skin and the face, nape of the neck and other exposed parts of the body which should be correspondingly protected. A high-frequency spark used to indicate the arc can cause small, deep burns of concentrated at a point on the skin. Burns due to contact with hot materials may also be sustained, generally through lack of care, or failure to wear proper protective clothing, free from oil and grease. The workplace must be tidy and unencumbered with flammable materials. Hands and forearms should be protected by suitable gloves or sleeves. In overhead welding, a protective cape and cap are necessary.

In welding and cutting operations, intense radiations are emitted by heated solids or gases. Strong ultraviolet rays are capable of causing severe inflammations similar to sun burn in the eyes, and on the exposed skin. Extremely intense visible rays may cause eye strain or even temporary blindness. Infrared rays are not absorbed but will penetrate the eye. They are suspected to be the cause for cataracts, retina injuries as well as opacity of the cornea. As the intensity of these radiations depend upon the temperature of the welding source. The danger from arc welding is greater than that from gas welding or cutting. The light emitted by an electrode arc contains a high proportion of ultraviolet radiation. Most arc welding & cutting processes; laser welding & torch welding; cutting & brazing; or soldering produce quantities of radiation requiring precautionary measures. Some processes, such as resistance welding and cold pressure welding, ordinarily produce negligible quantities of radiant energy.

3.2 Health Hazards

3.2.2 Eye Injuries There are two types of radiations, viz.: (i) Ionizing (such as x-rays), and (ii) nonionizing (such as ultraviolet, visible light or infrared). Non-ionizing radiations are associated with welding operations.

Ultraviolet & Infrared Rays Ultraviolet rays are to be feared not only because they are invisible, but also because we, human beings do not have sense organs to detect them. On absorption of these rays, the lens may

Fluxes containing fluorides are frequently used in silver brazing and welding of aluminium, magnesium and alloys. The hydrogen fluoride, if produced in sufficient concentration, will be irritating and injurious to the welders. Some silver brazing may contain cadmium. Materials which have been coated with toxic materials such as lead, cadmium may produce harmful effects when welded by any process. The brown cadmium fumes are extremely dangerous producing severe and fatal lung damage on short exposure. Metal fumes fever, may follow exposure to zinc fumes resulting from operations on galvanized materials, brass or bronze and at times from the use of bronze filler metal. Welding on tanks and containers of any sort from which the contents have not been thoroughly removed may introduce a series of hazard by volatilization or decomposition of the residue. 3.2.1 Heat and Burns Burns of the eyes and exposed parts of

fluoresce, i.e., shine in the dark, which may disturb vision. Ultraviolet radiations may affect the eye in a manner similar to sun burn. The common phenomenon of “Arc Eye” can be attributed to these rays. An exposure of the rays for a few seconds, may produce, a feeling of sand in the eyes with pain, watering of the eyes and possibly headache and these symptoms may develop after four to eight hours. This is known as “Arc Eye”. Recovery is complete in 24 to 48 hours and no permanent effects need be feared. All welders should be protected from the rays produced by the welding arc by the use of proper hand-shield or goggles fitted with the proper grade coloured filter glasses (See Fig 05). Infrared rays are commonly called heat rays, because when they encounter any material which they cannot penetrate, they are absorbed and changed into heat waves. These rays produce the sensation of heat when they fall upon the skin. Prolonged exposure of the skin will result in sun burn condition. Medical authorities are of the opinion that over 90% of these radiations reach the retina. The iris may absorb 75% to 80% of these radiations. Consequently effects of these rays upon the unprotected eye may be serious – like a sun burn within the eyes. It is, therefore, very necessary to guard the eyes against this radiation. 3.2.3 Exposure to Fumes & Gases All welding and cutting operations result in the production of a certain amount of smoke and atmosphere contamination. There have been cases where welders, working inside tanks, pipes, tunnels or other confined and badly ventilated places, have fainted. In some of these cases, fumes have been held responsible, whereas the true cause was simple deprivation of air. For this reason, it is desirable to provide means for recovery of these fumes and enhancing ventilation especially when welding takes place in such confined spaces. Fumes can cause symptoms such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, and metal fume fever. The possibility of more serious health effects

exists when highly toxic materials, such as, manganese, cadmium, etc., are involved. The amount and composition of fumes and gases emitted from welding, cutting and allied processes depend upon the composition of the filler metal and base material, welding process, current level, arc length, and other factors. When certain coated or treated metals are welded, dangerous fumes may arise and therefore good ventilation or respiratory protections are required. Special attention must also be paid to ventilation in the welding of non-ferrous metals and contain alloy steels, as well as protection from the hazards of ozone, carbon monoxide and phosgene, which may be formed. Welding Fumes All welding processes produce fumes, but the composition and concentration of the fumes can vary widely. Almost all of the fume originates from the filler metal and the coatings contained in the consumable electrodes. The largest component of all welding fumes is iron oxide. Depending on the welding process and the material being welded, the fumes may also contain various combinations of the metals such as aluminium; cadmium; chromium; copper; fluorides; lead; manganese; molybdenum; nickel; tin; titanium; vanadium; and zinc and other chemical compounds. Copper, aluminium, and other metals are occasionally alloyed with beryllium, which is a highly toxic metal. When a metal like this is welded or cut, high concentration of toxic beryllium may result in, shortness of breath, chronic cough, weight loss, fatigue and general weakness. If the metal being welded has been painted or coated with corrosion or rust inhibitors, these coatings may decompose. Welding galvanized steel, for example, generates large amounts of zinc or cadmium in the fume. Welding painted metals may result in high levels of lead fume, if the paint contains lead. Exposure to zinc oxide fumes can lead to a sickness named “metal fume fever” and some cases can be fatal. The greatest concern about potential health effects from welding, centre on cadmium, chromium,

iron oxide, nickel, and zinc. Most welding fumes are very small (less than one thousandth of a millimetre) and so can be easily inhaled. When exposed to these fumes, some fume particles may dissolve in the lungs and be transported by the blood or lymphatic system to other parts of the body, where they may have toxic effects. The potential for health effects from welding fumes depends on the total amount of fume that is inhaled, and the specific toxic metals or compounds present in the fume. The human respiratory system has several ways of removing most of the deposited particles over a period ranging from a few days to many months. Researchers found that even after a lifetime of welding, it is unusual to find more than a few grams of welding fume particles in the lungs of welders. Welding Gases The gases generated during welding of unprimed metals include ozone, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides are formed by the action of ultraviolet radiation from the welding arc. It is difficult to control exposure to these gases because they are formed at a distance of up to several metres from the welding arc. Metal inert gas welding, generates higher levels of ultraviolet radiation than shielded metal arc welding, resulting in the formation of greater amounts of ozone and nitrogen oxides. Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide generated by melting of the coatings of consumable electrodes in the high temperatures of the welding arc, may be a health hazard, only if welding is carried out in enclosed or confined spaces with inadequate ventilation. Similarly, if gas shielded arc welding is carried out in enclosed areas with insufficient ventilation, then the shielding gases, such as carbon dioxide or argon, may displace the oxygen in the surrounding air. The types of gases released are related to the chemicals contained in the coatings. For example, polyurethane

FIRE INDUSTRY

coatings may release large amounts of formaldehyde and toluene diisocyanate, whereas welding metals coated with epoxy resins may result in exposure to hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide. Degreasing solvents such as, trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene are commonly used to clean metals before welding. Ultraviolet radiation or heat from the welding arc breaks down these compounds to form highly toxic gases such as, phosgene, phosphine, chlorine or hydrogen chloride. Exposure to these gases may also occur if the degreasing process is carried out close to where the welding is done. Several studies have been done to determine whether long-term exposure to welding fumes and gases may cause lung diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma among welders. Some of the studies suggest that welders experience a higher rate of these lung diseases, compared to other workers or the general population. However, other studies have not found such an increase when age, smoking, and exposure to other pollutants, such as asbestos, have been taken into account. 4.0 PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT The molten metal has a tendency to pop and spatter, as heat is applied and oxygen reacts with superheated metal. When molten metal or hot particles are emitted, a leather apron should be worn. In cutting operations, leather spats should be worn to prevent hot particles falling into boots or shoes. For protecting the hands against heat spatter, slag, etc. gantlet type of gloves is sufficient, except in the repair of large castings, where an asbestos cloth jacket or an apron and sleeve protection of this material should be worn. The goggles and/or face shields protect the eyes from sparks and flying hot metal particles. The goggles or face shield use special lenses to protect the eyes from light damage. A variety of lenses are used depending on the type of welding or cutting that needs to be done, the type of material, and the thickness of the material. If protective eye shielding

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

FEBRUARY 2016

is not used, painful burns can occur on the surface of the eye and could result in permanent damage. The lens used to protect the eye of the operator should meet definite specified standards. In this connection, reference may be made to IS-5983: Specification for Eye Protectors and IS-1179: Specifications for equipment for eye and face protection during welding. Incidentally, Bureau of Indian Standards has published a series of Indian Standards for welding. It may be noted here that protective covers over filter glass should be cleaned as required and replaced when scratched or damaged. Welding metals treated with primers, paints, or other protective coatings may be a potential source of exposure to toxic gases. When coated or treated metals are welded, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn. Lack of protection from impact, ultraviolet, infrared and blue light caused severe eye strain and eye damage. Today very good eye protection can be found especially for gas welding aluminium that cut the sodium orange flare completely and provides the necessary protection from ultraviolet, infrared, blue light and impact. Therefore proper protection such as welding goggles should be worn at all times. Though compliance of safety norms and use of personal protective equipment are very important, while carrying out welding operations, a sizable number of workers do not bother to observe the basic safety norms, may be due to lack of awareness on the hazards involved in welding & cutting operations. The safety audit carried out by author of this article at several sites such as factories, workshops, construction sites, etc., PAN India, revealed that many welders carry out welding and cutting operations without observing safety norms (See Fig 06, 07, 08 & 09) and not wearing the required protective gears (See Fig 10), which can be evident from the photos. 5.0 CONCLUSION Oxy-acetylene welding and arc welding are the two main methods used in welding, cutting and allied processes.

In most cases these fumes are harmless although sometimes they may be irritating. However, there have been some cases, where welders working inside tanks, pipes, tunnels or other confined and badly ventilated places have fainted. The fumes and gases released in welding operations are mainly related to the chemicals contained in the coatings. Although there are vast amount of published literature, the question of the effects on health from many years of exposure to welding fumes and gases is still largely unanswered. A definite link between welding and cancer has not been established, although some research suggests an increased risk of lung cancer among stainless steel welders. Exposures to welding fumes and gases should be controlled as much as possible by following good occupational hygiene practices, such as product substitution, process modifications and ventilation. It is desirable to provide means of good ventilation when welding takes place,

especially in confined spaces. It is also desirable to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as flash goggles, gloves, aprons, boots, spats, welding helmets, welding hoods, appropriate lenses to filter ultraviolet & infrared rays, etc. during the welding and cutting operations. Lack of awareness by operators and supervisors were also observed for safe welding and cutting operations. REFERENCES 1.

ecurity and Operational staff always struggled to balance the need to provide enhanced security without hindering easy entry. Queues at airport and stadium gates are a common sight and a ‘pain’ that sometimes tends to ‘lower the guard’ of the Security staff. The recent bombing at the Stade de France stadium in Paris proves that it is just as necessary to have stringent checks at sporting venues as it is at airports. Sporting venues can and will be targeted by terrorist groups. The biggest bone of contention between fans and stadium security has been over the screening of bags. A few years ago, the National Football League implemented a new bag policy that only allows clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags to be brought into games. Besides, these bags must be less than 12 inches by six inches by 12 inches. This obviously ruffled a few feathers among fans, especially women who were also not permitted to carry their purses into games. Aside

from the inconvenience, many people are also uncomfortable with having security personnel go through their personal items. An automated, self-service security screening system, developed by Qylur Intelligent Systems, enables people to submit their bags for screening without assistance from a guard. This is a large, portal-like system arranged in a shape similar to a beehive that contains five hexagonal cells for the screening of bags. As people approach the entry to the stadium they open the front door of one of the cells, place their bags in and then they move to the back after they go through a metal detector. While they are screened for anything on them, the bags are screened inside the Scanner. The requirement of guards is minimal and no one touches the bag or the belongings. The person places a bag inside, and the door locks. Inside the Scanner, various sensors scan the bag for weapons and other banned items. If the bag is determined to be safe, the door

SECURITY INDUSTRY allow them to pass unimpeded, while a machine at an alcohol-free concert venue could quickly learn the signature of vodka hidden in a bottle of soft drink. Applications Any large venue that requires a rapid throughput without compromising on security would be a target for this innovative Scanner. • Stadiums and arenas • Theme parks • Museums • National monuments • Airports

unlocks. If a suspicious object is detected, an alarm goes off to begin a security procedure. While the system performs automated detection of some of the most important threats, there’s also a screener, located remotely in the control centre or command post of the stadium, who has access to the images in real time. The screener can alert the field security staff if they see anything odd and can also ‘hold’ the bags if necessary. This is a collaborative detection process where both the machine and the screener can ‘flag’ a suspicious bag. The system is capable of performing hundreds of scans within the span of an hour. The system can process 600 people an hour—five at a time—and needs only four human

operators. However, effective throughput depends on whether the operator allows only one person per scan or let multiple people scan their belongings within a cell at a given time. The Scanner uses a combination of multi-view x-rays, chemical sensors and artificial intelligence. The unique artificial intelligence aspect of this Scanner allows it to “learn” about different objects, making it better at distinguishing threats from ordinary items. For example, in a rainy city, the Scanner might quickly learn the shape of an umbrella. This intelligence allows the Scanner to be personalized based on the venue. At an amusement park it might learn how to detect picnic foods and

Summary • The Scanner uses a combination of multi-view x-rays, chemical sensors and artificial intelligence. • The Scanner has the ability to ‘learn’ from how contents in the bag change or if there are new discoveries being made at other sites. • The Manufacturer offers a complete infrastructure that includes an outer layer running online in the ‘cloud’. • With the Scanner onsite and the other layer online, the Scanner not only automates detection but it also helps itself ‘evolve and learn’. • Beehive design of the Scanner enables higher throughput and reduces inconvenience to people. • This is a relatively new Scanner and the reference list of installations is limited. The system was used at the World Cup in Brazil and recently installed at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. • Presently only one manufacturer with no competition.
