Scott Safety to debut UK’s first ever inmask thermal imaging intelligence system at Emergency Services Show 2016 Scott Sight, the UK firefighting industry’s first ever in-mask thermal imaging intelligence system from Scott Safety will debut at the Emergency Services Show 2016 on stand B69, 21-22nd September in Birmingham. This ground-breaking system brings the future of firefighting into clear view for those on the front line and is set to revolutionise the industry. With slogans such as ‘Choice of the Brave’ and ‘Innovation at First Sight’’, the global leader in design, manufacture and supply of respiratory protective equipment, and thermal imaging technology has injected significant investment into the development of the global firefighting industry this year. Scott Sight utilises hands-free thermal imaging technology to provide firefighters with a clear, unobstructed view of their surroundings thus improving their situational intelligence and eradicating the need to stop searching or put the hose down to deploy a hand-held camera. In spite of being exceptionally lightweight at 8 ½ ounces, Scott Sight is very powerful producing a 160x120 resolution at 9 frames per second through an infinity lens which ensures a clear picture with no eyestrain. Longin Kloc, Global Product Manager, Growth Initiatives from Scott Safety, said: “We are extremely proud to launch such an innovative product for the firefighting industry. Scott Sight really is a sophisticated imaging tool - it supplements

existing hand-held technology by offering configurable handsfree visibility to the wearer in often inhospitable situations. “To create Scott Sight, we worked very closely with firefighters to develop a thermal imaging solution that is more accessible and easier to use. This means that the wearer’s attention can stay focused on the fire, enhancing the ability to spot hazards and locate casualties, while also

providing the means to identify a secondary egress in the event of a sudden change in circumstances.” A further innovation debuting at the show is the Light Decontamination System, a portable airborne and surface decontamination solution with the ability to decontaminate chemical, biological and radiological vapours, liquids and particles simultaneously in as little as five minutes. Utilising atomisation technology the Light Decontamination System creates a fine mist ensuring an even and consistent coverage, and haptic dry surfaces. Rapidly projecting these droplets in the form of a dense and turbulent mist, the system is capable of delivering CBRN decontaminants to all nonline of sight surfaces. This process drastically reduces
both the chemical footprint and time required for effective decontamination. Unlike many traditional decontamination systems which utilise liquids, this new process forces powders to behave like a gas, ensuring that sensitive and electronic equipment is not damaged. Environmentally friendly and cost-efficient, the Light Decontamination System typically requires only five percent of decontaminant compared to traditional systems due to the gas-like behaviour of the small droplet mist. Easily directed and controlled with a lance hose, the system achieves a projection distance of up to 30 meters and is compatible with a range of chemistries. Global Product Manager for Military & Civil Defence at Scott Safety, Dr David Crouch said: “The Light Decontamination System will revolutionise the fire market; it is lightweight, portable and extremely powerful. In validation trials, the system decontaminated anthrax by 99.9999999 percent from a 100m³ space, in less than five minutes.” Innovative, industry-first technology from Scott Safety reaffirms its stature as a global leader at the forefront of innovative design, manufacture and supply of respiratory protective equipment and thermal imaging technology.

VdS-Approvals to be incorporated in tender processes
The Guideline 2014/24 of the European Union now requires all rel-evant authorities within the EU, when awarding public works con-tracts, to take into account and incorporate those offers which are based on regulations that are equivalent to the requirements. This also includes VdS-Approvals for products as well as service provid-ers. This new specification reassures one of the clearest promises of Europe’s No 1 institute for security and safety technology to its part-ners: Whoever fulfils the requirements of VdSGuidelines also al-ways covers the European standards. The new EU directive ”Law on the Modernisation of Public Pro-curement“ has now been implemented. The law is supplemented by several legal regulations, which have been summarised in one cov-ering framework-regulation. It is part of the ”Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and integrative growth“. Thomas Urban, Manag-ing Director at VdS, explains: ”The EU-Guideline stipulates that in addition to
10
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
European standards also equivalent regulations in pro-curement should be incorporated. VdSGuidelines meet the de-scribed requirements. In addition, a test report of a conformity assessment body or certifications issued by those as evidence for the accordance with the technical specifications or the conditions for implementation may be imposed on economic operators. It is there-fore required that the conformity assessment body shall be accredit-ed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008 of the Europe-an Parliament and Council. VdS is such an accredited conformity assessment body. With the VdS Seal of Approval our customers are well-prepared for participation in EU-wide tendering.”

Importance of Video in
Effective Safety Training
W
hen it comes to industrial operations, safety and profit are the two sides of the same coin. To put it simply, poor safety management can affect the profitability of the organisation. The construction industry has been leading the charge in safety compliance, thanks to customer demands to adopt global benchmarks in both quality standards and safety practices. Today, non-compliance of safety can translate into heavy penalties, delay of projects and the resultant losses, and even the danger of black listing by customers and Government bodies. While safety has become an integral part of the construction industry, the manufacturing sector cannot be left behind. Whether it is routine products or customised production, a manufacturing plant cannot ignore the possibility of safety hazards. What can happen in the event of a mishap with serious injury or a fatality? The production stops for a while, an atmosphere of suspicion prevails and the unionised workmen can even demand a heavy price as well. Adopting safety practices as integral to the operations thus become a healthy and sustainable business model. However, safety implementation cannot be achieved by mere skill development. Very often accidents occur not because of ignorance of the production process, but due to the absence of motivation and
www.ind-safety.com
dedication to the work. Therefore, while conducting training sessions, a greater focus has to be given to motivation to change the mindset of the workmen. With rapid socio-economic developments, very few people are opting for factory labour. This means the labour force that are available belong to different educational and linguistic background. Leading corporates have adopted visual based training as very effective for workmen from diverse background. Through video one can visually demonstrate step by step activities of operations. Moreover, a good video can bring out emotional moments of adverse consequences that can arise from unsafe work practices. A video can connect with the employees in multiple ways. • Demonstration of the correct steps of the work involved; • Animated scenes to highlight the negative consequences of unsafe operations • Dramatised videos where typical scenarios are created such as careless attitude to work resulting in serious mishaps and so on.
Making a safety training film appears very simple, but in reality it requires specialised knowledge and skills. In fact, several training videos end up being comical, which in effect defeat its very purpose. Now the question is how to select a good filmmaker. A good filmmaker must possess two sets of skills: one is the art of film crafting, and second and more important is the ability to understand industrial training needs. Assuming that all filmmakers know film crafting, how many filmmakers have in-depth knowledge of industrial training and employee motivation? Therefore, the first step in making an effective film is to select a filmmaker who has both experience and expertise in industrial training films. Only then can the filmmaker bring value to the client and develop the brief provided into highly effective training videos. In today’s trying times, corporates cannot afford to take safety training lightly, otherwise it will soon reflect on their balance sheet poorly. Therefore, adopting safety practices is the way forward for a sustainable tomorrow !

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
SEPTEMBER 2016
According to industry experts, the global fire protection systems market is expected to reach USD 98.4bn by 2022 by growing at a CAGR of 10.1%. These figures show an enhanced awareness among the leadership towards investing into physical security risk management. The industry worldwide is also witnessing an increased usage of highly advanced technologies in the fire detection space that is transforming the way detection and alarming systems used to work earlier. Today, such equipments are more integrated and intelligent in nature, using data analytics new detection technologies to excel in precise decision making in case of fire breakouts. One of the smart solutions in the fire detection industry used globally is BIM (Building Information Modelling), a new infrastructural model that is followed in UK & Europe wherein virtual designs are built in three dimensions before work proceeds on site. The attributes of all the elements of the building can be found in the model and spatial ‘clashes’ can be identified and resolved in the model instead of on site. Hochiki is now investing in the creation of specialized BIM content based on a selection of our core products for use by designers, architects and specifiers working within the BIM framework. Our BIM content product has been modelled to AIA Level of Detail 200 and
includes detailed specification including the COBie-UK 2012, Uniclass and NBS references requirements called for by the NBS BIM Object Standards. The upcoming smart cities in India would need such intelligent devices and systems to make the overall infrastructure safe and alert enough to ensure fire prevention.
Q. How do you find the scenario in India? We can see that India is treading a high growth path by virtue of massive infrastructure projects that have been undertaken by the government spread across multiple states. The country is experiencing an infrastructure overhaul that is boosting the growth of the subsidiary or allied sectors. National programmes like Make in India and Smart City Mission are set to transform the economic landscape by pushing rapid development of manufacturing zones in cities thus giving rise to multiple self-sustaining ecosystems. India is a mature market with stringent rules and regulations in place on using fire detection and security services and products. However, there is a gap in the maintenance of installed equipment rules at commercial buildings and even residential spaces. Most old buildings do not have an alternate escape route in case of fire. We need faster decision making and more evolved environment to ensure

Cylinder Less Automatic Fire Detection & Suppression System Technology
Universal use: high flexibility of BlazeCut Tube and A, B, C and electrical fires class rating can protect almost any space High cost-effectivity: zero maintenance, long working life, automatic activation beats the competition in cost-effectivity
Stainless steel fittings
No cylinder for storage of extinguishing agent needed: the whole system can be placed inside the protected enclosure Option to connect the pressure switch and other additional components like signaling unit to perform further functions
Pressure gauge Heat sensitive BlazeCut Tube with the extinguishing agent
The system consists of a heat sensitive BlazeCut Tube made of special plastic which is closed by a stainless steel fitting on each end. The BlazeCut Tube has both storage and detection function which means that the extinguishing agent is stored directly in the BlazeCut Tube and no additional storage device such as cylinder is needed. BlazeCut system operates automatically independent of any power supply by detecting higher temperatures. When the temperature in the protected enclosure rises to a critical threshold, the detection tube melts down at the point where the affecting temperature is the highest. Melting the tube creates a hole releasing the entire extinguishing agent stored in the tube onto the source of the fire. BlazeCut “T” Series systems are supplied in various lengths of the tube and volumes of agent. The standard volume of agent ranges from 0,25 kg to 1,0 kg, which is sufficient to protect enclosures with volume between 0,25 m³ and 1,00 m³ respectively.
Clean and effective extinguishing agent: world-wide known and accepted HFC gases (HFC-227ea and HFC-236fa) No pressurization needed: the system works by increasing pressure of the extinguishing agent when heated Automatic operation based on increased temperature: ideal for non-occupied spaces or spaces out of sight Fully independent: system is operational 24/7 without any power supply No maintenance during entire working life = zero maintenance costs Long working life: 5 ~ 6 years depending on the type of application No harm to protected enclosure and people when discharged Very simple installation: no training required for installation Pressure gauge to monitor the pressure at any time

Fire Protection & Prevention for a German Market Leader in Internal Logistics
From left to right Luckert, Spielvogel, Marr
Q. Mr. Spielvogel, Mr. Luckert, Mr Marr - why is fire protection and prevention in logistic centres such an important issue? Luckert: “By no means only in logistics centres. In German companies a fire breaks out every five minutes, as confirmed by our partners from the Association of German Insurers (GDV). The total damage alone for the German economy are anew each year at six billion euros. As your readers know, a very typical trigger of fires are defects in the electrical system, from the computer via the ventilation to lighting. Fires can even arise in the ubiquitous electrical sockets - so there is definitely no industry that is not affected by this risk. “ Spielvogel: “Fire protection and prevention is not only important - it is essential for survival. Just like our testing expert Thilo Luckert says: There are masses

of fires in Germany as well as in India every day. And if those responsible do not ensure that the fire is detected directly in its incipient stage and effectively combated - whether through technology, whether by well-trained staff, the best and safest course is by both - it sparks extremely fast into an incredible destructive power. Directly logistics centres then have to fight by no means only with the pure material damage. These are indeed insured. However a client who receives his expected goods only after a long delay, orders somewhere else next time. The customer losses through lack of performance cannot be quantified or imagined. “ Luckert: “These huge losses are uninsurable. Just to jeopardise the continued existence of companies concerned, not only for logisticians, is much worse than the pure fire damage. It is precisely by this compulsory client
loss, that 43% of businesses affected by a major fire are forced into bankruptcy, as the Association of the German insurance industry has found in a study. “
Q. A major source of fire that every company should pay attention to is therefore, electrical engineering? Spielvogel: “In general, yes. At the Witt Group, we have this well-known fire hazard, electrical engineering, well under control. We check all our systems continuously in accordance with BGV A3, in addition, we regularly run thermographs, that is to say filming with thermal imagers. This show us directly if parts run maybe hotter than normal, if that is the case, damage can be expected from our electrical appliances in the near future. Here we will replace then directly the detected faulty parts. If at Witt Group systems break down, this results mostly from the enormous

Therefore, we have also installed several thermal monitoring devices: Automatic monitoring devices register an unusual rise in temperature, so the equipment will switch off automatically. We also place great emphasis on regular maintenance, for example, carrying out numerous routine maintenance works during operation. Because, as mentioned earlier: We promise our customers timely delivery so when the machinery of the Witt Group is running reliably, then our customers are happy.”
Q. Which fire hazards should safety officers pay particular attention to?” Marr: “In general, all types of hot-work must always be treated with caution.” Spielvogel: “However. The real challenge for us as well for many other logisticians here is that we rebuild much due continuously optimised and modified processes or for dealing with new types of products. For example, the displacement of conveyor belts is a daily standard for us. This often also involves the hot-work. On a total of 170,000 m² logistics workspace are also involved many external companies in alterations and of course they may not be as aware of the dangers of hot-work as our own people. Here it is our task to investigate early and to ensure safety. I am notified directly about all pending hotwork as fire protection supervisor, and can so ensure from the outset optimum safety during welding. “
the affected area with water during welding. “ Spielvogel: “In another case, it has also served perfectly well to easily deform mechanically machine parts rather than the complex disassembling with a safetycritical hot separation process. Thanks to the simple deforming the asset was still perfect for our processes. The whole process was planned much faster and done cheaper than had been planned originally from the external service provider. The welder wanted the system for detailed changes actually dismantled, we have saved time and money with further optimum fire protection. “
Q. Usually then the list of major fire hazards is completed by arson. Spielvogel: “Here it is very important that the Witt Group has satisfied employees. If a company pays performance-related wages and cancels no social niceties, one has usually little to do with internal arson, and the outsides of our plants are well protected. “
Q. And how can managers best respond when the building regulations approved shelf height is exceeded by expansion, new technologies or new products? Luckert: “Any amendment to the shelf
height and, more commonly, also any change of bearing materials - because, for example, due to a process change the now preferred plastic boxes are used instead of the easier to extinguish cardboard boxes - increases the fire load of the logistics property. That means, according to regulatory requirements, but of course also in self-interest because of the numerous fire hazards, that the fire protection measures also need to be adapted. In this case the responsible manager can simply contact VdS, his installer or his insurer. All three have background knowledge on a variety of materials and use changes and can specifically say what technical and structural measures are now recommended for the responsible property manager. It is often enough to simply adjust some details of the sprinkler system or, as in the case of plastic boxes to mix the extinguishing water a special foam. “
Q. How exactly do you secure the goods here at Witt Weiden? The massing of several tonnes of textiles and packaging material such as cardboard or plastic also ensures a particular challenge to you. Spielvogel: “The cartoned goods are not the major problem - in serious incidents, the board quickly absorbs the water from the automatically reacting sprinklers within seconds, then nothing burns. Much

Luckert: “The fact that fine-dust accumulates in logistics centres, abrasion from boxes, or more-flammably from rubber, makes welding more risky. This dust-fine combustible material is naturally very flammable. “ Marr: “Therefore for upcoming welding work in the logistics centres the affected machine is usually removed from the logistics centre and the hot-work is carried out outside the hall. However this has often created high costs. Mr Spielvogel has only recently found a solution to dampen

less predictable is the hanging clothing packaged in plastic. “ Marr: “Hanging clothing means that a fire can spread rapidly, the product burns very rapidly from bottom to top. That is why we have installed in the hanging garment area, sprinklers designed for a specific protection concept with a high water exposure and a dense sprinkler distribution. An additional challenge for hanging clothing that is usually packed in plastic film, is that water is repelled due to its relatively high surface tension of plastic. “ Luckert: “In principle, a high proportion of plastics in the warehouses increases demands on the sprinkler systems. In order to realise an effective protection concept also some storage configurations require the addition of film-forming foam. This foam breaks the surface tension of water, so the extinguishing water can wet the burning materials more effectively and achieve better extinguishing success. These measures are based on on our 1: 1 fire and extinguishing tests with these materials. The fire tests were carried out in close

cooperation with all relevant bodies such as, the property insurers, the operator and our own VdS GmbH. With the findings derived from them, we have developed special protection concepts, which now ensure optimum technical plant fire protection. “ Spielvogel: “Here I would like to highlight the very helpful support by our insurer AXA. Our advisor Malte Lautz is himself a fire protection engineer and really takes care of our sites. The concept for the new high-bay warehouse was written by the Witt Group, AXA and VdS -based on a VdS guideline that was developed and created specifically for the Witt Group “. Marr: “Parts of the logistics concept also include so-called shelving racks, where goods can be stored on different shelf levels. Here the Witt Group among other uses closed platform floors instead of the usual storage-pens. If stored in such shelf systems, the individual rack levels are protected by between-level-sprinklers, that means sprinklers in each rack level. With the special design of the sprinkler
system, we were naturally able to use the numerous findings from the fire tests. “ Luckert: “In addition, horizontal and vertical metal screens have been installed on the shelves, which prevent the spread of fire in the affected shelf itself and to other shelf levels. In fire tests it has also been found that an additional sprinkler positioned at the ends of the shelves is useful because this is exactly where commonly used goods are deposited. These can fall over in the event of a fire and cause a flashover to the adjacent racks. A derived protection concept for shelves with closed shelves and walkways can also be found in the guideline VdS CEA 4001, the directive for sprinkler systems. Our proprietary VdS guidelines for planning and installation of all relevant fire protection techniques are incidentally known to be particularly practical and unique tool for security managers in the market. “ Marr: “In each institution, the fire detection and extinguishing equipment must be so designed and installed that

FACE TO FACE the security personnel at night and at weekends can also sometimes switch off with a clean conscience knowing all is protected.” Luckert: “The technology is so enormously important because it is doing its duty for 24 hours every day, including Sundays, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Day or when in the 113th minute the winning goal in the World Cup final is scored. The system comprehensively detects any fire and immediately starts with the extinguishing process. In Germany, if directly alerted, our fire services get to every fire throughout the country within maximum 10 minutes. This is a tremendous performance, to which we can only take our hats off. A few minutes, however, are in the case of fire, a period of time in which an extreme lot can happen. That is why automatic fire detection and extinguishing systems that react in a matter of seconds are so vitally important. “ Marr: “The fires are nipped by the sprinkler system in the bud. Or at least so restrained that firefighters still can intervene in time. “ Luckert: “We test experts ensure that any defects in the complex technology are found immediately - and not while fire is raging, while every second counts and human lives are at stake.” Spielvogel: “The close cooperation with both the equipment manufacturer, the insurer and the testers is very important to us from the Witt Group. We are in constant contact, changes can be discussed directly at the planning phase. Then, when something needs to be done differently, we can realise this on the drawing board at once, if the insurers and the auditors were only presented with the completed but however possibly faulty plant and equipment, it would be correspondingly expensive and time consuming to change something “. Luckert: “I have to say clearly and for the Witt Group: Well, that it is good that

businesses have a security and safety officer such as Peter Spielvogel - because only through good cooperation can comprehensive plant-specific fire safety can be ensured.” Spielvogel: “We define accurately prior to changes or a construction project, what room to play with we can expect from the scope of the regulatory provision. We develop our own ideas, discuss with the insurer and with VdS and also our building code inspector, what is feasible and what approach is most economical. Then concepts arise with which we are all satisfied and ensure optimum fire protection. We always find a solution, which we then implement. Finally, there is with us constant innovation, logistics tells us in the safety department, if they have new or modified equipment, buildings or processes or similar. We can think of something, how we can cover this new idea with fire protection, and find together with the inspection and insurance colleagues Luckert and Lautz a futureoriented solution. “ Luckert: “Many companies build halls as ready-units, then we come to the underwriting and / or building code acceptance, only to find that a small detail in the overall concept is planned or executed unfortunately incorrect. This could have been an oversight in early discussions, in retrospect, it may be, however, that the finished sprinkler system concept is not working and needs to be reformed which is extremely costly later. That’s why agreement in advance with the Witt Group is enormously important, saves time and money. Early tests already in the planning phase are done to give our customers the assurance that there will be no more problems in the implementation. “
correspondingly multiplied costs. Even with the service providers who build our shelves, we clarify directly in advance, how every centimetre of shelf space is to be protected. We consider from the outset the cost of the whole, for example, to determine what would cost a sprinkler system for new construction and what alternatives are still available for optimum safety to us. From the beginning, we consider different variants, which are economical and for the operator - whether it be buying or operation. When facing future challenges there is nothing worse, when investments, equipment and plant were so to say “aligned strictly according to regulations” - and then no more room is there for adjustments that would have been foreseeable with a little planning work. Therefore authorities and insurers leave us a lot of free hand: you know that we in the Witt Group can solve many security & safety issues & problems well “! Marr: “Again and again we are working together on various new solutions with the insurers and the auditors - because logistics required space, the experts of the Witt Group use here really every square meter. And as we are informed in advance of any proposed change, we

FACE TO FACE can also always protect well with specific and adapted technology. An example of a sudden strong change of conditions in fire protection and prevention is: Early clothing was made mostly of cotton, which burns relatively poorly. Then synthetic fibres prevailed - these make the clothes more robust, but ignite much easier. That had for the fire protection of a company such as the Witt Group with a daily receipt of over 5,000 clothing articles serious consequences. “
Q. You see yourselves as logistics and security experts therefore also with fashion trends. Spielvogel: “Exactly. It’s not just for the designer, but also important for us with fire prevention and protection, to see fashion and production trends early. We also need to know where the logistics could develop, and what type of new materials are developed. Our fire protection concepts reacts to every tiny piece of news, are always adapting to current events and needs. Every six months, these are also completely checked and adjusted if necessary. This relates to 200 escape route plans, 600 route maps for firefighters and 50 fire fighting plans. Also if any building measure on our premises requires a modification, this completely changes the constellation of a room, and also where relevant, smoke detectors, sprinklers or escape routes. “
Q. You have alone in Weiden three locations, as you have stated you have a comprehensive system of technical protection. But how do you handle in such a divided area through personnel the hazard protection, the so-called organisational fire protection? Spielvogel: “For personal protection a specially designed for Witt Weiden evacuation alarm concept was created. Here each warehouse and department gets special training from those responsible for evacuation and fire protection. In field warehouses, we also have a plant protection officers. There are also specially

trained staff, that check quickly in the event of an alarm, if there is really a risk locally or whether only a false alarm was triggered. All of our data centres are secured by backups, and with gas extinguishing systems are also under video surveillance. When an alarm goes off, immediately the camera is switched on, so that the duty officer in the security centre looks directly at the site, and can see what is locally going on, and if there are any people still in the danger zone - you can not see this once the gas extinguishing system has been triggered, since the condensed fog of the gases obscure vision.“
Q. Speaking of gases: smoke penetrates much faster than the fire and is highly toxic - do you use special measures for smoke extraction in your works in an emergency?” Spielvogel: “Exactly. 50 powerful fans, mechanically attached to the facade, suck in an emergency smoke from our distribution center I and II, which is the so-called cold smoke extraction. In our smaller logistic warehouses, we react in an emergency with smoke and heat extraction systems. “ Luckert: “Smoke removal is extremely important because a human being in a smoky room is unconscious after a few breaths. Two minutes in the smoke can lead to death. And even one kilogram of
plastic forms in combustion up to 2,500 cubic meters of smoke. “ Marr: “It’s always frightening to see in fire tests how incredibly fast even large spaces are completely erased. Effective preventive and plant-specific fire protection protects us from all this. “ Spielvogel: “In the textile trade we would suffer extremely even under very low quantities of smoke: Everybody knows that after a night around a campfire the smell remains on the clothes worn. Smoky goods cannot therefore be sold. The insurance then comes to our rescue for the smoke damage - but the customer who receives his or her ordered goods belatedly, will in future probably go with another provider. Also all the staff are made aware of this problem: In the warehouses there is a strict non-smoking policy and our designated smoking areas have a private extinction system, as one could see for example from the smoking areas at airports in the past. We did not want for our centres to have an off the peg extraction system. For the concept of the new distribution center III with 880,000 box / tubs for example, we have determined this by a computer simulation and analysis of a research institute. The data showed us what techniques would work better and which worse with us. We wanted to not simply rely on the default protection, because as I said: fire protection is absolutely vital for any business. “

TBWA Australia Increases Efficiency With Quantum StorNext Storage Solution Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) announced that TBWA Australia, one of the country’s top advertising and creative agencies, is using a Quantum storage solution powered by StorNext® to streamline content sharing, keep content protected and available and reduce administrative overhead by hundreds of hours a year. “With growing demand for digital media production outpacing our existing storage systems, we needed a solution that could ensure data protection while saving staff time,” said Jaymz Hingert, regional IT manager at TBWA Australia. “Of the solutions we evaluated, only StorNext was capable of addressing our data protection and productivity requirements; every other solution would have demanded a great deal of manual intervention. And we discovered Quantum had a StorNext solution designed for smaller offices.”
Pushing the Limits of Direct-Attached and RAID Storage Prior to deploying the Quantum platform, video editors at TBWA Australia worked on servers with directattached disk storage, a model that ultimately compromised both workflow efficiency and the security of valuable content. To bring content from existing assets into current work, team members had to find the disk, mount it, locate the right files and then find
52
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
enough space to restore the appropriate content back onto the local disk where they were building the new project. In addition to bogging down editing processes, this model complicated collaboration because editors could only share files by moving RAID arrays between servers or using flash drives, whether transferring the files across the office or between offices in different cities. TBWA Australia’s rapidly increasing workload — and corresponding increase in the volume of high-resolution files requiring storage — put further pressure on storage. Teams worked on RAID arrays until they were full and then stored them on-site with rarely enough time for a real backup. Preservation of this growing store of client content was a significant concern because moving data off-site for disaster recovery (DR) protection simply wasn’t possible.
Automating Content Protection and Streamlining Collaborative Workflow By supporting a fully automated end-to-end workflow, the Quantum solution has made it easy for TBWA Australia to improve collaboration among editors, protect content and leverage direct access to archived data
SEPTEMBER 2016
to speed reuse of existing assets. Supplied and integrated by Quantum partner CompNow, the StorNextpowered system provides a dedicated SAN fabric, 48TB of high-performance disk, a Quantum Xcellis™ Workflow Director to manage data across different tiers, a StorNext AEL500 LTO archive and Quantum Q-Cloud® off-site cloud storage. Within the agency’s new workflow, StorNext Storage Manager™ automatically creates a tape copy of any file saved on Xcellis shared storage. Stored in the StorNext AEL archive, this tape copy serves as a backup while work is in progress. When a project is complete, StorNext then removes the content from shared storage, while the tape copy remains accessible from that storage as an active archive, minimizing the disk space required on the shared storage. The IT team also has established a policy so that whenever StorNext makes a copy to the tape archive, it creates and sends a copy to Q-Cloud. As a result, TBWA Australia can use the tape for normal recovery and archive access while maintaining DR protection. “Q-Cloud provides automated, indefinite DR protection,” added Hingert. “If the building burns down
tomorrow, we’ve got a copy of everything — current projects and old material — safely on Q-Cloud.” Collaboration across TBWA Australia is also much easier and more efficient because editors are able to see everything, no matter where it’s stored, through the same file system. LAN connections facilitate transmission of files between offices for faster, simpler sharing of content across the agency. “StorNext has helped our creative team to realize an immense gain in productivity,” said Hingert, “and we all sleep much better knowing that all our data is safe, both on tape and in the cloud.”
About Quantum Quantum is a leading expert in scale-out storage, archive and data protection. The company’s StorNext 5 platform powers modern high-performance workflows, enabling seamless, real-time collaboration and keeping content readily accessible for future use and remonetization. More than 100,000 customers have trusted Quantum to address their most demanding content workflow needs, including top studios, major broadcasters and cutting-edge content creators.

at RTSoft, explains the benefits of certifying Advantech’s invehicle computers for RTSoft’s MONTRACK software solution: “Integrating a GNSS receiver is only a small part of developing a video processing solution. Application engineers feel much more comfortable if they can build their applications on the basis of an already proven system that includes an appropriate driver, firmware and middleware setup. The MONTRAK software solution is already running in field deployments and so are Advantech’s systems. Now the pre-tested and verified combination of both building blocks delivers a highly reliable, application-ready platform to accelerate development of state-of-the-art video based fleet monitoring and surveillance systems as well as augmented reality infotainment solutions.” Jeroen Baerents, European
Business Development Managerfrom Advantech, explains the strategy of cooperating with software building block partners such as RTSoft: “Video based fleet monitoring is a perfect add-on to conventional GPS based vehicle tracking. We expect the central video surveillance of fleets to expand rapidly in the near future because of increasing security demands. The usage of video data for augmented reality infotainment is then the next step in the evolution of video based monitoring and surveillance systems. We are able to jumpstart customers’ projects in all these areas with pre-tested device and operating system combinations that are validated through RTSoft.”

NEC develops AI-based customer profile estimation technology NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced the development of a Customer Profile Estimation Technology that automatically estimates detailed customer profiles on individual customers, including their interests and preferences to a high level of precision, without the involvement of marketing experts. Based on NEC’s unique relationship mining technologies, the newlydeveloped technology estimates detailed and hardto-obtain profiles on individual customers completely automatically and to a high degree of precision from basic profile information that is relatively easy to obtain, such as age and gender, combined with purchase histories. NEC has verified the effectiveness of the technology using public data. As a result, NEC has confirmed that an analysis that would take conventional experts three months to complete can be carried out in three days, and to a degree of precision that surpasses those experts (*). “With this technology, we can respond to lifestyles that change from moment to moment, quickly discover true individualized needs that may have been overlooked, and devise appropriate measures. In addition to estimating detailed customer profiles, the technology can also be applied to estimating product attributes,” said Akio Yamada, General Manager, Data

technologies, detailed profile information for each customer can be estimated by simply inputting their basic profile information and purchase histories. As the fully automated process completely eliminates tasks such as manual product labeling, detailed profiles on each individual customer can be estimated in a short time, thereby cutting three months down to three days (*). 2. A process of hypothesis generation and verification is repeated to achieve an estimation precision that surpasses an expert An artificial intelligence (AI) component references product
purchase histories to produce a hypothetical detailed profile for each customer. This is interconnected with another AI that references questionnaire results provided by a subset of customers to verify the accuracy of the hypotheses. This cycle of hypothesis generation, verification and feedback is repeated. The use of AI allows objective detailed profile estimation untainted by the subjective views of an analyst. By repeating the cycle many times at high speed, the estimation of detailed customer profiles to a degree of precision that surpasses the analysis results of an expert is achieved.

sset protection is the primary objective of any perimeter.

the perimeter that they are under surveillance. Signs saying “no trespassing” or “area under surveillance” also aid in communicating a deterrent message to unauthorized persons. Often a mix of security infrastructure such as compound walls, electrified fences, video surveillance and lighting are deployed. If a potential intruder can be dissuaded by this barrier then the criminal activity doesn’t begin at all. Detect The objective is to promptly detect any intrusion or an attempt at intrusion. This then triggers a timely notification to the security personnel. Surveillance camera technology, especially megapixel cameras and/or thermal cameras are very effective as an accurate detection tool. Surveillance cameras are triggered to automatically zoom to the zone where intrusion is detected. Pinpointing the intruder(s) helps the security forces respond with adequate force. Deny While ’Deter’ and ‘Detect’ are effective, every premise has authorized entry and exit points. At times these could be the weak link in the security of the premise. The objective is to allow authorized persons to
enter while keeping unauthorized persons out. Access control technology or a manned security gate at the point of entry/exit helps achieve this goal. Delay The objective is to slow down an active intrusion. This may either force the intruder to give up or give the security team sufficient time to respond with adequate force. This is achieved by deploying multiple security layers like a compound wall followed by an electrified fence. Physical barriers are also used to slow down the intrusion. Surveillance cameras installed at strategic locations provide situational awareness. They also measure the effectiveness of the countermeasures.
Defend This would typically require the deployment of security personnel. The objective is to apprehend the intruder(s) before any damage is done. Video surveillance assists the security forces to locate and neutralize the intruder(s). Where required external security agencies could also be called on to neutralize the intruder(s).

of fire incidents but in almost all the fields. The situation has become so prevalent that it is treated as part of our system. The issues again come to the fore in next season or when similar mishap takes place once again. By that time either the Governments have changed or leaders have changed or if none of this happens then the officers have retired or changed. So people come and go but the situations remain. Now the big question is why are we not rising up to the occasion and learn from our one mistake and why the mistakes have to repeat themselves to attract the attention of people/authorities that matter? This goes to prove that our system does plant saplings and takes care for a little while and forgets thereafter and the planted sapling dies before it could actually reach adulthood. The system needs not only to plant sapling but nurture them till they become grown up trees before it is left alone. Likewise all the plans made by the Government need to be followed up till they become an accepted norm and complete follow up and compliance system is actually put to practice in letter and spirit. The problem also lies that some elements among the authorities and most elements in the consumer/implementation stage would like to take shortcuts and try to flout or circumvent the law. This tendency is what really is desired and needs to be curbed. Increased fines or other penalties or punishments not only should be made under law but defaulters must be dealt with strictly and word spread in the concerned sectors so that it becomes an effective deterrent for the prospective would be defaulters. We all know that preventive laws for almost everything including for all possible crimes and safety measures are in place but it is the level of compliances where our country fails miserably. It is strange that most of the fires are blamed on electrical
shorts circuiting. Has the short circuiting no solution or we are just disinterested about it? How come our country cannot produce high quality wires, circuit breakers, fire resistant switches, wire carrying conduit pipes and other related equipments? All the blames are laid on these equipments as these cannot respond thus giving impression that blame is being shifted in many of the cases and real culprits not being named or shamed. As it is the fire services in our country are poorly equipped, short of trained manpower and perform multifarious duties like rescue operations in peace and times of calamities. The shortage of funds has been a perpetual problem is all the states of India. A white paper by each state could give a clearer picture of real pathetic conditions. Though the fire services are doing stupendous task with available sometimes limited facilities but they do not match with the fast changing scenario and upgrades in their core areas. Upgradation of firefighting equipment and training are a constant need and a lot is desired to be done on this front. Now is the high time when the Governmental authorities need to take cognizance of this issue and initiate harsh measures on all aspects related to fire incidents? Strict measures against counterfeit electrical products need to be put in place and compliances on all equipment manufacturing norms made mandatory. Low quality items should be confiscated from wholesale dealers and quality control checks are strengthened. With the introduction of GST it will be easy for the authorities to tract the manufacturing sector more effectively. This measure is at manufacturing end. The other end is the consumer and architects/consultants. All the architects/consultants for builders should be made mandatory and their guidance on norms should be binding on the final consumers, be it at individual level or institutional level.

upcoming infrastructures to compete and be best among its peers anywhere in the world (though this process is in place but compliances are still way away from being followed as per laid down norms). Having said that our existing infrastructures including heritage and other buildings or areas that came up over the centuries in an unplanned way (like Chandni Chowk in Delhi for example) and the small towns and cities are the most vulnerable and need special attention of the authorities. It is not only the congestion or the narrow lanes the real issue is that there is no support that can be expected in an exigency, as neither water nor any other facility exists in these places. Structures at such locations are the ones that are at the highest of risks. If our National museum a house of unique and rare artifacts can perish in a fire that too in a place like Delhi (in fact it was located at one of the most posh and supposedly the safest place in heart and even easily accessible to the fire services), it must start ringing the alarm bells in the corridors of power at both state and the centre level. Here it will not be out of place to mention that India is faced with various threats from terrorist organizations/Pakistan sponsored groups and other vested interests from sabotage angle. A case of point is the complete destruction by fire of Semi Conductors Limited at Mohali near Chandigarh about 2-3 decades ago in which the country lost out the most advanced and only facility of its kind in its field. The country has still to cover up that loss. The fires in Hospitals, theatres, industrial facilities, Defense establishments like ammunition dumps etc. schools, markets, restaurants, and residential areas have affected our society and country and still are a threat. Assessing the nature of fire as to whether the fire was due to natural causes or was there a failure to follow the laid down norms or was it sabotage is a post accident scenario? Assessing such fire incidents/scenario is the most important task of inquiry commissions or inquiry officers. However the role of Audit officers is to assess a building/s or an establishment to find short comings which can be or are likely threats to the existing structures. They suggest immediate precautions, improvements and

provisions of adding the system/s needed to prevent such accidents/fire. Likewise the architectures and consultants have a role when the construction is at planning stage. Here all the necessary compliances in respect of security, safety, fire and provision of preventive and supports measures are incorporated. So the role of Architectures is paramount in case of new coming up structures. There is no doubt that the concerned authorities might have already initiated some action and delved upon some solution but one aspect that might still be bothering them must be how to ensure compliances of all the Government laid down norms. As is the old experience that the government departments have limited resources to ensure that all the compliances are followed in letter and spirit at all levels. It may be mentioned here that the audit of each facility is not only the first and foremost but also the most important aspect and there is acute shortage of trained and experienced personnel in this field and as a result the authorities fail to take the very first step. If the authorities get bogged down at the very first stage itself then at the next stage of compliances the situation deteriorates further and whole chain of events gets stalled. The net result then again turns out to be zero and we find ourselves at the beginning stage till another incident takes place of the whole process is repeated again. The analysis of past experiences of 70 years could definitely give the authorities the actual situation to act upon and take the desired corrective measures. The policy of private partnership in the recent years in construction of National Highways etc and other Governmental large projects could very well lay the roadmap in this field as well. In my personal opinion the authorities should involve private or public enterprises to assist them in this vast field which will help not only save important structures and money but take India forward at an accelerated pace. Any enterprise with all India presence or National level bodies could play a very important role and help the Nation grow in the right direction. Fire and Security Association of India a nonprofit body which is an all India body of fire and security experts is one body that can
help the authorities at the very first stage of launch of compliances. They have teams spread across the country consisting of Audit parties and authorities can involve Fire and Security Association of India or/and any other similar body/bodies to help Governmental authorities to speed up this process. The suggestion of Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore to Indian Prime Minister â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to hit 4s and 6s instead of running singlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; could well be achieved on this front and hopefully save lot of National Assets/lives and money. It may also be mentioned here that in our Indian system as and when a top officer from any organization let us say for example BSF/CISF or Mumbai police or for matter any other organization takes over as it head, he comes out with a specific plan or plans which are close to his heart. In one case an IIT and tech savvy officer took over as head of an organization and started implementing new and modern technology to monitor criminals/anti National elements with great fervor. The going was good for about 2 years but when this officer was transferred on an higher assignment at centre and a new incumbent took over and the efforts of this officer over the last two years were brought to a naught as the new officer was not as tech savvy as the previous one and was not interested in this project. All the public money invested over 2 years went down the drain and all the machines/equipment bought were left idle and became worthless over a period. This scenario has been happening on fire and safety front all these years. It is the need of the hour that a blue print on fire safety at National level is formulated (I am sure at least it might even already be in place) and a vision/policy document for the next 10 to 20 or more years is put in place and all senior, middle and lower middle level officers (who matter or are from the same cadre) are thoroughly sensitized to follow the fire and safety policy in letter and spirit. The Government may even take serious action against any defaulting officer/s so that nobody takes the resolve of the Government lightly. Fires have caused huge losses in terms of money and human life over the years and there can never be a better time than this to take up this issue in the right direction.

Chemical Safety – An Overview “The control of risk from the use of harmful substance is as much a matter for effective management as any other aspect of industrial or commercial success or failure.” - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Of all the industries, the chemical industry uses most of the hazardous chemicals having a significant bearing on safety, health and environment problems encountered in running any industry. Although there is no universal consensus as to the scale of production and use of chemicals, it is estimated that the average annual world production of chemicals is more than 400 million tons. As per an ILO document of 1987, as back as in 1978, the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstract Services identified 4 million

distinct chemical compounds and it has been calculated that this number is increasing at the rate of over a quarter of a million every year. It is accepted that few of these substances and compounds are used commercially. However the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggest that about 70,000 chemical compounds can be considered as being in everyday use. World Health Organization (WHO), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the EPA estimated that new chemicals in excess of one ton placed on the market each year range from 200 to over 1000, most of which, until recently, have not been tested for deleterious effects. ILO’s book entitled “Occupational Exposure Limits for Airborne Toxic Substances”, lists occupational exposure limits for 1,178 chemical substances which, have been adopted by various countries. This number constitutes but a small fraction of chemicals in use. With increasing sophistication of processes and severity of process parameters, the possibilities of something going wrong have assumed a far greater magnitude. The magnitude of exposure of working population to chemicals is not known with any certainty. A variety of chemicals are used in the field of agriculture, which is accounting for fifty percent of the total world workforce. Most of these workers among the least protected. In the same way that the scale of use of chemicals in the developing countries is increasing, day by day, so is the apparent trend in occupational diseases and illness. Adequate statistics on occupational diseases and injuries, due to exposure to chemicals at work are not easy to find even in developed countries. This is due to different criteria of recognition, classification and reporting of
diseases and injuries among other factors. However, as per an article published in “Safety Science” 44 (2006), the average figure of global occupational accidents, was estimated to be 264 million accidents yearly, so more than 7,00,000 workers in a day suffer an accident which causes absence of 3 days or more. In India approximately 10 million persons are employed in various factories. As per the Directorate General Factory Advice Service and Labour Institutes (DGFASLI), more than 36,500 hazardous factories out of the 3,00,000 registered factories, employs 20,46,092. No precious data is available for the occupational illhealth or injuries caused in the chemical industry in India. However, the current burden of accumulated occupational diseases in India is estimated to be about 18 million cases. Harmful chemical pollutants in the workplaces may be generally categorized into three different groups, viz. (i) Toxic Chemicals, (ii) Flammable Chemicals, and (iii) Explosive Chemicals. The exposure of these chemicals can lead to many hazards, which can be broadly be grouped into two viz.: (i) Toxic Hazards and (ii) Fire and Explosion Hazards. 2.0 TOXIC HAZARDS: Toxic chemicals or materials include simple and chemical asphyxiates, irritants, narcotics, systemic poisons, carcinogens, teratogens, mutagens and those with dermatological effects. The hazards arising from exposure to toxic materials depend on the circumstances of the exposure and the nature of chemicals involved. Such exposure range from sudden brief exposure, perhaps at high concentrations, to prolonged exposure at low, often changing concentrations over a period of years which

may be as long as a working lifetime. In most cases, exposure will be to a range of chemicals of varying degrees of harmful potential, with perhaps synergistic effects between some of the substances involved. The routes of entry of toxic chemicals are: (i) Inhalation – probably the most common industrial case, (ii) Ingestion – frequent as a route for industrial poisoning except through eating and smoking without adequate attention to hygiene and (iii) Skin absorption via external contact. Generally, dusts, fumes, gases and vapours are inhaled and liquids and solids are ingested or penetrate the damaged or undamaged skin. Once on or in the body, the toxic material may have varying effects. There are local effects when the material is an irritant to the skin, eye or respiratory tract; or there is a systemic effect because of the substances toxicity. Delayed effects may be carcinogenic while other substances may involve fetal or chromosome damage. 2.1 Toxic Hazard Control: There are three basic measures applicable to the control of toxic substances. These are (i) Substitution, (ii) Engineering Controls and (iii) Personal Protection. A combination of measures are often used to achieve an appropriate level of control.
72

SEPTEMBER 2016
These measures are: a. Substitution of less toxic material b. Enclosure of the harmful process or substance c. Isolation of the process or harmful substance d. Local exhaust ventilation e. General ventilation f. Wet methods g. Personal protection equipment and clothing. Many harmful substance in industry have irritant or allergenic properties, causing dermatitis, perhaps in addition to other toxic characteristics. They may act as the skin, or on the respiratory tract, or both. 3.0 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: The fire and explosion risks associated with many chemicals present an acute hazard both to property and to life. While fire is normally regarded as having a disaster potential less than that of explosion, fires tend to occur more frequently and are extensively documented. There have been substantial losses due to fire and explosion. Even where there has not been hazard to life, major product losses have been reported world-wide. The numerous standards and code of practices applicable to storage are, for this reason, concerned primarily with risk of explosion and fire.
Storage, handling and internal transport of flammable materials pose many problems, especially on account of spillage and similar risks. There are a number of risks of explosions including chemicals, to which workers may be exposed. These can be caused by: the detonation of explosive materials, the detonation of deflagration of gas or vapour cloud which are within flammable limits, or the detonation of dust cloud in confinement. These may result in overpressure or the individual being hit by debris or suffering directly or indirectly from the effect of the blast which damages the building. Organic peroxides and some azo and nitrocompounds, have unstable properties and may be formed as intermediates in chemical reactions, or by the inadvertent, or accidental mixing of incompatible substances. Boiling liquid expanding vapour (BLEVES) are not confined to large scale installations although it is these which have received the greatest attention. A BLEVE need not involve flammable materials. In all cases, the initial effect may be the generation of a blast wave and missiles and the expanding vapour cloud, if ignited, will produce thermal radiations. Explosions in a chemical process plant may include mist and spray explosions, superheated liquid explosions, compressed air or other gas system explosions. Explosion – preventions measure may involve complex engineering procedures. These may include control of the atmosphere by the use of inert gas, and explosive protection and relief by containment, separation, flame arrestors, automatic isolation, suppression and wetting. A particular hazard in the process industries is that of dust explosions. Many industrial materials are at some stage handled as dusts or powders and many final products are in finely divided dust or powder from which will form explosive mixtures in the air. The risk is not only of primary explosions within the plant but of secondary must larger, explosions in buildings in which dust

legislations have been brought under this Act. In view of the appearance of health hazards associated with particular chemical substances, specific laws have been passed by different countries or rules formulated under existing general legislation.
4.0 NATIONAL LEGISLATIONS: Given the considerable increase in and complexity of chemical substances in use today, new legislations in this field has been promulgated in some countries and existing legislations in other countries is being amended and updated. Although national legislations may contain provisions relating to the use and handling of harmful substances, the type and content of legislations differs from one country to another depending on the degree of industrialization, size, geography, and work related practices. In developing countries the emphasis has been placed on the import, use, and handling of chemicals, whereas in industralised countries, equal emphasis has been laid on the control of production of chemicals. Legislation in some countries notably Australia, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Hungary, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States are task-oriented. In others, legislation is broad-based or general in its provision. In USA, in addition to the general provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1970, there are several standards applicable to the chemical industry. Also in USA, Toxic Substances Control Act 1976 provides for the compilation of information on all chemicals. As far as India is concerned many provisions relating to chemical safety has been incorporated in the existing legislations after the Bhopal Tragedy. The Factories Act, 1948, which is mainly concerned with factories, has been amended to incorporate many provisions relating to chemical safety. The Government of India has even formulated a new act i.e. Environment (Protection) Act in 1986 and a series of
4.1 Identification and Labelling: Requirements for identification and labelling of chemical substances exist in several countries including India. Requirements differ from one country to another as to the details of the components of identification and labelling.

4.2 Transport: National regulations or guidelines regarding transport of chemicals within the enterprise only exist in few countries. However more attention is given to external transport. In India, transport of chemicals is dealt with the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. 4.3 Storage: Most chemicals in the work place are held in storage, prior to distribution and use. This storage may be in one or each of several locations at the manufacturers, suppliers, in transit or at the work place, before, or during after use. Considerable quantities of harmful materials may be stored in ways which may have the potential in the event of an incident, to cause several hazards not only to workers but also to the population in the vicinity of the place of storage and general environment. There have been many such incidents involving flammable, explosive and toxic materials. The incidents involving explosive materials at Oppau, Germany, in 1921, flammable material at San Juan Ixhuatepec, Mexico, in 1984 and toxic material at Bhopal, India, in 1984 and Switzerland in 1986 are few examples. General or specific legislation on storage of chemicals exists in various countries including India. Because of the associations with major accident hazards and incidents, such as those in
Flixborough (1974) and Seveso (1976), storage of chemicals became a major accident component of the EC Directive on major accident hazards. Standards for the storage of toxic materials tend to be contained in guidance notes, MSDS, codes of practices and manufacturer’s code. In India, storage of chemicals is mainly dealt with the Factories Act, 1948 and the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. 4.4 Handling and Use: Legislation on handling and use of chemicals at work is available in several countries. In EC, extensive provisions exist on the safe handling and use of chemicals aimed at both the “no risk” and “acceptable risk” philosophies. System similar to that of the EC exist elsewhere in the world including USA and India. In India, safe handling and use of chemicals is mainly dealt with the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989. The amended Factories Act 1948 also dealt with chemical safety in a separate chapter. 4.5 Waste Disposal: The Law and practice regarding waste disposal within the enterprise differs markedly from one country to another. In the United Kingdom, disposal of waste within the enterprise is provided for in several acts of legislation notably the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Public Health Acts. The control of waste in general is mainly dealt with under the Control of Pollution Act 1974. The EC has Directives on waste disposal. In India the control of waste in general is mainly dealt with the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules 1989. 5.0 ROLE OF THE ILO: ILO activities, designed to stimulate or to reinforce national action in occupational safety and health are promoted through, the International Programme for Improvement of Working Conditions and Environment (PIACT).

Practical Approaches to Selection of Hearing Protection Device (HPD)
T
he proper selection of hearing protection devices (HPDs) for workers can be a difficult, challenging and sometimes even a misleading task. The objective is to insure optimal hearing safety without screening out important noises like alarms, voices of co-workers and other communications that are critical to the safe performance of work. Often times companies provide workers with HPD’s that attenuate noise much more than necessary for an effective program. One common result of this overprotection is the worker does not use the HPD when required because he/ she feels isolated when too much sound is removed. Once it is established that workers need to wear HPDs, the best-practice methods described here can be used to select those devices that are more consistent with the stated objective. These methods require determining the noise levels present in the workplace at different frequencies within the human hearing range and then choosing the most appropriate HPDs based on that information. Once a complex and time consuming task, frequency analysis of hazardous noise has been greatly simplified by recent advancements in handheld realtime frequency analysis technology.
Hearing Protection Rating Methods We will review least different ways that ear plugs, foam inserts, ear muffs and other HPDs may be rated by manufacturers for noise reduction effectiveness. • Noise Reduction Ratings (NRRs) is a rating system that provides a single reduction rating number in decibels (dB). • Single Number Methods are considered the simplest of methods for a user to implement. However, with simplification comes compromise. Recognizing the shortcomings of single number ratings requires a general understanding of how these numbers are determined.
www.ind-safety.com
The single number is effectively an approximation of the dB reduction achieved across the entire range of center frequencies, which is analogous to a “broadband” measurement of sound pressure levels (SPL) in a work area using a traditional handheld sound level meter. What the NRR numbers do not provide is adequate information to understand noise reduction at each of the center frequencies. The actual attenuation at each center frequency is likely to be higher or lower than the NRR. In practice, hazardous noise levels are often limited to or dominant at select frequencies and almost never exist at equal levels across a continuous span of frequencies. In real-life applications, it is therefore possible that the actual noise reduction performance of the HPD at some frequencies will be more or less than the single number indicates. When this occurs, the result can be either a failure to adequately reduce some noise levels, the introduction of new safety risks associated with unnecessary compromises in communications, or both. The NRR also gives high weighting attention to low frequency attenuation, while neglecting high frequency performance. This is because in the calculations to compute NRR A- weighting factors get deducted from the initial 100 dB constant level. And since the A-weighting scale falls off below 1000 Hz, the NRR discounts much of the
noise that would be present below 1000 Hz. This too, may or may not fit the “real world” situation. Application of the NRR is further clouded by different recommended deratings of it by different agencies. The EPA uses a straight forward approach using the unprotected sound level minus the HPD NRR to yield the protected sound level. For example, if the overall sound is 95 dB and the NRR of the HPD is 25 dB, the EPA interpretation is that the sound present at the ear is 70 dB. • OSHA has probably the most complicated interpretation and lengthy derating scheme. If the sound measurements were made with the dB(A) scale the recommended derating factor is the sound level minus the HPD NRR less 7 dB and then divided by two. In the example above that would have resulted in an interpretation of the sound present at the ear of 86 dB. If the measurements were made with the dB(C) scale the recommended derating factor is the sound level minus the HPD NRR divided by two. In the example above that would have resulted in an interpretation of the sound present at the ear of 82.5 dB. • To add one more agency, NIOSH recommends the following: 1. For earmuffs deduct 25% from the manufacturer’s NRR. 2. For formable earplugs deduct 50% from the NRR.

SAFETY INDUSTRY of precision and complexity. It is called the High Medium Low (HML) method. HML provides aggregate attenuation values similar to the NRR method, but across broader groups of frequencies than the more precise APV method. HML provides values that rate the HPD’s attenuation capability at high, medium and low frequencies. The HML Method is defined in ISO 4869-2, which specifies the frequency bands as follows: High is above 2 kHz; Medium is between 500 Hz and 2 kHz; Low is below 500 Hz. HML provides a better estimate of actual performance than the single number methods.
3. For all other earplugs deduct 70%. 4. NIOSH further states that for dB(A) measurements simply deduct 7 dB from the NRR for all protection devices. The SNR method is the European version of the NRR method. However, there are three differences from the NRR method to be aware of, two technical and one regulatory. • The SNR applies one standard deviation, instead of two as in the NRR calculation. This results in only an 84% coverage factor versus a 98% coverage factor when using the NRR method. • The SNR method does not deduct 3 dB from the final calculation as does the NRR method. • From a regulatory standpoint, because of the European CE mark requirements [since 1995] there must be a certified CE test report performed after July 1995 attesting to the SNR for it to be sold in Europe. But here again, because the SNR works off the same basic principles as the NRR it has the same disadvantages of being low frequency weighted and assuming a constant 100dB sound level exposure. The NRR and SNR are ratings of hearing protection noise reduction. They are derived from measurements conducted in a laboratory by comparing how a well a subject hears without and with a hearing protector. The ratings are intended to estimate effective protected sound levels. The two numbers cannot be compared directly with each other because of the differences in how they are derived. Although they are computed in a similar manner and are both
78

intended to be subtracted from C-weighted noise measurements, the NRR includes an added 3-dB safety factor and incorporates a larger uncertainty correction. Also, the two ratings are computed from laboratory test data collected by different methods. The NRR is computed from US (ANSI) real-ear attenuation test data using an experimenter fit, whereas the SNR is computed from European (ISO) test data using a trained subject fit. For the same product, the numbers can differ by 8 dB or more and although SNRs are typically larger than NRRs, in some cases they can be slightly smaller. A third single number system encountered primarily in Canada is really an A, B, and C class rating system. It is based on CSA Standard Z94.2-1994 Hearing Protection Devices – Performance, Selection, Care, and Use. It states the A class is equivalent to an NRR of 24+; the B class to NRR’s of 17-24; and the C class to NRR’s of < 17. The final two methods we will discuss account for reduction ratings as a function of frequency. The first and more data intensive of these methods is the Octave Band (OB) method that breaks the reduction rating down into eight values that report the attenuation at the following eight frequencies between 63 Hz and 8 KHz: 63, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000. You may recall that in the discussion above, the APVs were determined in order to arrive at the NRRs and SNRs. Applying APV using the OB method is the most precise of all five methods discussed here. There is a fifth method that falls in between the APVs and NRRs/SNRs in terms
CONCLUSION As is evident from the material presented, the NRR and the closely related SNR and CSA Class methods have some inherent disadvantages in helping a user pick the best HPD for a given application. All Single number methods assume a constant sound level across the whole frequency spectrum and are heavily weighted to lower frequency components. Certainly one could argue that sound levels are not constant in real world applications and understanding and protecting workers from inside levels at all frequencies within the hearing range is important. It is also clear from the examples cited that relying on single-number or letter protection systems could result in under/ over protection. Therefore those methods that address determining protection factors at application-specific frequencies are better methods that allow tailoring the protection to the specific hazard level. The APV method with its eight data points and the simpler HML method are methods that more accurately determine protection levels required and provided for worker safety.
