Russian Railways, the world’s third largest rail network, uses Xtralis VESDA-E VLQ to protect vital compact data rooms

ussian Railways (Rossiyskie Zheleznye Dorogi or RZhD) owns and operates Russia’s entire railroad system,annually carrying over 1 billion passengers. With over 85,000 Km of track and 1.2 billion tonnes of freight shipped annually, RZhD operates the third largest rail network in the world. RZhD has12 main lines, many of which provide direct connections to the European and Asian national railway systems including Finland, France, Germany, Poland, China, Mongolia and North Korea. To support its logistically complex and economically vital operation, RZh Dmaintains a large number of data-computing centres (DCC), which vary in size but have one thing in common —the critical computing and switching equipment contained in each must be protected from smoke and fire. RZhD selected VESDA by Xtralis for the important task. Xtralis solutions currently protect approximately 50% of new metro & subway construction worldwide. Indeed, RZhD already employs various VESDA models — from the VFT15 addressable aspirating smoke detector, to Laser Compact (VLC), Laser Focus (VLF), Laser Plus (VLP), and Laser Scanner (VLS) — to protect sevenlarger DCCson key rail lines, including Privolzhsk, Gorky, South Ural, West Siberian, Oktyabrskaya Railways, Far Eastern Railways, and North-Caucasus Railways. With a communications network modernization, RZhD began deploying compact DCCs across its network. Until recently, these compact DCCs, with

10 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

areas up to 12 m2, hadconventional detection. Upon the introduction of VESDA-E VLQ, RZhD immediately began a program to equip these DCCs with VESDA-EVLQ units. RZhD recognized that fires, even small in scale, within spaces housing critical infrastructure can result in substantial transportation interruptions. Common causes of fire in these environments include overheating electrical components, cables, power supplies, and faulty lighting or mechanical systems. Xtralis created VESDA-E VLQ specifically to deliver cost-effective very early warning (VEW) smoke detectionfor compact areas like DCCs. A single VLQ unit can replace as many as four standard spot-type smoke detectors, protecting areas up to 100 m2 (1000 ft2 ). As the RZhD network continues to grow, Xtralis expects to continue to equip the vital rail transport system with VESDA-E VLQ detection solutions.

A+A 2015: This is how it’s done: Good workplace design for good health at work Workplace ergonomics – a central topic at the trade fair and the convention With over 1,800 exhibitors, A+A in Düsseldorf is the world’s leading market and communication platform for occupational health and safety. From 27 to 30 October this year’s focus – both at the trade fair and the convention – will be on a central issue again: the ergonomic design of workplaces and working routines. By applying ergonomic findings, it is possible to increase output and at the same time reduce the strain on the workforce, which, in turn, leads to greater productivity. In view of current demographic developments, this is more relevant than ever before. André Klussmann (from the ASER Institute) sums it up with the words: “Good ergonomic workplace design is an essential aspect in keeping employees at work until their regular pensionable age and thus counteracting effects such as staff shortages. Over the last few years this issue has also featured more prominently in German government policies, e.g. by expressly mentioning ‘physical and mental health’ in the German Occupational Health and Safety Act, by including the term ‘ergonomics’ in the amended Industrial Safety Regulation and by mentioning precautions for ‘substantial increases in physical stress’ in the Preventative Occupational Healthcare Regulation.” The new Industrial Safety Regulation specifically stipulates that employers must include ergonomic considerations when defining working routines and choosing materials, tools and equipment. Such resources must be designed and organised in a way that avoids any incorrect or excessive strain which might endanger the 14 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

health or safety of the workforce or, if this is not possible, reduce the strain to a minimum. Focus on ergonomics for visitors and companies Industrial ergonomics is nothing new, yet it is continuing to gain in importance. Michael Mohrlang, who is responsible for health and safety and therefore also for ergonomics at BMW in Munich, describes the situation as follows: “Ergonomics is an interdisciplinary science that impacts most areas of our working lives. Ergonomic findings continue to be relevant, irrespective of social developments such as demographic change. Yet demographic change does highlight the importance of implementing the findings that have been gained over a period of decades. The BMW Group therefore continually endeavours to apply ergonomic principles on a comprehensive scale, covering all facets of working routines, whether it’s production, office work or integration management.” It is getting increasingly important to ensure the demographic alignment of workplace design. This can be seen at Continental AG where Klaus-Dieter Wendt is head of Ergonomics: “Our target for 2020 is the demographic alignment of workplaces for 50% of our workforce. To achieve this goal, we have analysed and rated all existing production workplaces in Germany under a strain documentation system and have started to rate all workplaces which are either new or which need to be redesigned. This is giving us the ergonomically relevant data for each workplace, so that we can take precautions to ensure its demographic alignment and to make it manageable for

both men and women without causing any excessive strain.” However, to create good ergonomic working conditions, an employer needs to do more than provide the right technicalities. Successful companies are marked by a clear health and safety culture and a commitment to good, sustainable working conditions. Klaus Tech, head of Health and Safety at Linde Gas AG, has been coming to A+A for many years now: “At our company,” he says, “we’ve defined health, safety and environmental protection as fundamental principles for all our business activities. Where health and safety are concerned, we are keen to ensure clearly visible leadership, personal responsibility for one’s actions and direct responsibilities at all corporate levels. We see it as one of our core tasks to provide safe and healthy working conditions for everyone who works for us. One decisive factor is that our staff are well motivated and that they receive training.” Good ergonomic working conditions and resources are, of course, extremely relevant – not only in industry, but also in public services. This is reflected at Munich City Council where Johannes Thallmair is head of Health and Safety, another A+A visitor who has been coming to the trade fair for many years: “Over the last few years there have been some clear and positive developments in ergonomics, not just on the manufacturers’ side, but also with regard to its acceptance and its importance within offices. This applies to Munich, in particular: being a fairly large local council, we need to make provision for an increasingly older workforce and design our workplaces accordingly.”

requirements of an ageing workforce.

Ergonomics at the A+A Congress The A+A Congress will reflect the interest among visitors and companies on the subject of ergonomics, while also showcasing new trends and developments. For the first time, each morning and afternoon will start with a keynote talk for all visitors this year. One of the speakers will be Prof. Ralph Bruder, PhD, from the Institute of Ergonomics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, with a presentation entitled “Humane Workplace Design – Productivity – Prevention”: “Ergonomics plays a key role in mastering digitisation and demographic change.” A comprehensive and highly practical introduction to the subject will be given in a series of presentations called “Ergonomics – from Theory to Practice”, organised by the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardisation (KAN). Each presentation will be held from a different perspective (KAN, Siemens AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Continental AG), showing ways to ensure the ergonomic organisation of work and design of workplaces. Another major series at the convention will be on the subject of office and production ergonomics. One event will be specially dedicated to the construction industry, bearing the title “Age-Appropriate Workplace Design in the Construction Industry”. The construction industry, in particular, is finding it increasingly difficult to meet its shortage of skilled employees. To ensure sustainable performance and quality, it is therefore all the more important to adjust working conditions in a way that suits the

Raising awareness through “ergonomics scouts” Aspects of ergonomics, however, will also feature in other series, not just in specially dedicated presentations on ergonomics. The “Day for Health and Safety Officers”, for instance, will focus specially on ergonomics. H & S officers are now assuming a major role in the organisation of health and safety in industry and will be involved even further in the future. They will also receive more training to cover new areas of responsibilities. On this occasion a talk will be given, among others, by Markus Bruch, PhD, from RWE on the training of health and safety officers to become so-called “ergonomics scouts” at RWE. In particular, the training seeks to bring ergonomic expertise into a given department as well as identifying ergonomic design requirements and raising awareness to such issues among the workforce.

Theme parks: Workplace Design and Corporate Health Ergonomic workplace design will be given special prominence in Hall 10 at the A+A trade fair, under the heading of “Health at Work”. Also, situated right next to the “Health and Safety Meeting Point”, the central joint pavilion of non-commercial players in Occupational Health and Safety, will be the two exhibition areas “Corporate Health” and “Workplace Design”. “Corporate Health” has been created specially for vendors and organisations in the health sector. It will include occupational healthcare providers, private healthcare professionals and a range of products and services for the

prevention of addiction. The theme park “Workplace Design” will feature exhibitors of ergonomically optimised workplaces with opportunities for visitors to test and compare various workplace solutions. The area also provides opportunities to engage the help of professional advisors in comparing and evaluating dynamic seating systems made by various manufacturers. The two areas “Workplace Design” and “Corporate Health” will have a joint programme of short practical talks, panel discussions, presentations and discussions (all with German-English interpreting). This year’s A+A will, for the first time, include guided tours that are specially aimed at the needs of works councils and staff councils. The programme and the presentations are organised by the German Federal Association for Occupational Safety and Health (Basi) in cooperation with two non-commercial partners: the Centre for Health and Society at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and the Association of Ergonomics at the Technical University of Dresden. The ergonomic design of workplaces, facilities, tools and machinery helps to ensure safe and healthy longterm employment for the individual. With this in mind, A+A 2015 will present the right systems as well as innovative products and services, showing how ergonomic principles can best be implemented in practice. There will be substantial interest among visitors. Last year, more than 20,000 visitors among over 63,000 took a specific interest in ergonomic workplace design.

Make India’s defence ecosystem more robust and independent, suggests IESA-Roland Berger recommendations IESA’s DEFTRONICS 2015 to witness the beginning of India’s defence independence with global partnerships to boost R&D and design, skill development & entrepreneurships in the defence, aerospace and internal security landscape

EFTRONICS 2015, an initiative from India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA), marks the beginning of India’s defence independence led by the ESDM industry in the nation. In this context, IESA, along with Roland Berger, a leading global strategy consulting firm with immense expertise in defence, released a whitepaper on the upcoming Defence Electronics Policy in the presence of Sh. R S Sharma IAS, Chairman, TRAI; Smt. Shubhra Singh, IAS, Joint Secretary, DIPP, Govt. of Indiaand Dr. KD Nayak, Distinguished Scientist, MED, COS & CS, DRDO, Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India. DEFTRONICS 2015 promises to draft a new vision for the defence segment through a constructive discussion over the next two days, led by government officials and industry thought leaders. The IESA-Roland Berger whitepaper titled ‘Defence Electronics Market- Perspectives and Recommendations’ indicates that thedefence spending has been budgeted every year&it has never seen contraction but has always had an upward trend for the past 18 years. However, India’s spend on military R&D is less than 2% of global expenditure on R&D. Commenting on the occasion,M. N. Vidyashankar, President, India Electronics & Semiconductor Association said, “India is the 7th largest A&D (aerospace and defence) market globally and a lion’s share of the market needs have been historically addressed by imports. Despite our defence budget increasing significantly year-on-year for the last

44 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

few decades, very little has happened to strengthen the domestic A&D design and manufacturing capabilities. As our country is steadily transforming itself as a global superpower, defence self-reliance has become imperative in the recent times. Realising this pressing requirement, we have collaborated with Roland Berger - one of the leading strategy consultancies worldwide to deep dive in to India’s A&D ecosystem challenges & propose the way forward.” “We are proudly presenting the whitepaper - ‘Defence Electronics Market- Perspectives & recommendations’ which we firmly believe will be a yardstick for India’s defence electronics sector tomorrow,” added Mr. Vidyashankar. “It is our great pride to organise DEFTRONICS 2015, one of our premier

event platforms dedicated for aerospace & defence sector. India’s A&D sectors have been undergoing tremendous transformation with the government’s strong push towards the creation of a fundamentally strong A&D ecosystem in our country. Defence Electronics is on utmost priority and IESA has therefore partnered with Roland Berger and drafted a whitepaper on ‘Defence Electronics Market- Perspectives and Recommendations’. We offer all the support to the government in their effort to modernize the country’s defence sector and glad to bring the policy makers, private & public defence players and other core ecosystem players under one platform,”said Vinay Shenoy, Chairman,India Electronics & Semiconductor Association. With ‘Make in India’ bringing a new hope in indigenous manufacturing across sectors, Indian government aspires to domestically source 75% of

Continued from page no.44 the Indian armed forces’ hardware. This implies significant opportunity for Indian companies and global OEMs to explore models of collaboration focusing on development of capability in India and of technology tie-ups. There is potential for Indian private sector to participate in the global OEM supply chain; this indigenization push is an opportunity for the private sector to significantly expand capability, and therefore capacity, by implementing global A&D manufacturing standards and certifications. The Indian Procurement Opportunity continues to be dominated by Government backed arrangements whether through Government to Government sales or through Joint development R&D Projects as against Business-to-Government sales. The Business-to-Government segment itself is expected to see a dramatic shift towards sourcing from Indian firms. Progressively a disproportionate amount of the opportunity is expected to be driven through ‘Make’ and ‘Buy and make – Indian’ procedures on one hand and developmental projects of DRDO on the other. The rules of the game are changing towards more technology transfer and stronger local content requirements. “A&D is a focus flagship sector of the Make in India initiative and electronics in this segment is the make or break for India’s emergence as a major A&D manufacturing and design destination. With the right policy impetus, India A&D electronics can be the driver for the A&D success story in India. Deftronics is a great step in this direction,” said Rahul Gangal, Partner, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. The IESA-Roland Berger whitepaper raises certain issues which needs to be addressed through Defence Electronics Policy. Below are the key ones: • For an Indigenous electronics manufacturing to take off, the private sector needs to get visibility of both Government procurement plans as 46 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

•

well as focus on technology. While both are currently addressed in a long term horizon document, there is a need to have visibility at intermediate levels as well. While it is true that at component level, Indian defence manufacturing will continue to be dependent on imports, India’s attractiveness would rest in its ability to develop system level competence,i.e. graduation from Know-how to Know-why. Such a move will involve working largely with ‘Commercially off the shelf’ technologies and products, and development of defence systems from them. Due to its horizontal ramifications across product categories and subsequent impact on multiple product categories, competencies in this segment should be looked at from both a product as well as a technology perspective. In line with the development of A&D electronics industry globally, India will have to focus on leveraging large developmental projects under the Make category to ensure maximization of indigenization potential, especially at component levels thereby impacting SMEs. Make project focus will also ensure development of key ‘system of system’ integration competence, which Indian industry has already demonstrated across major programmes. To ensure that SMEs are able to sustain extremely high levels of performance orientation at one end and continuous pressures on margins on the other, Defence electronics industry should be provided with enablers like easier and more price efficient access to financing (akin to infrastructure). Defence electronics manufacture should be encouraged through other measures, like using multipliers to incentivize first time exports, or multipliers where global single source competencies are created. Foreign OEMs which are willing

to relocate global A&D electronics manufacturing to India through partnerships with local players should be extended all benefits including those of Preferential market access for defenceprocurement. This is critical, as for all global electronics play, home market is often the basis of building a business case which is then substantiated through international market access. • Defence electronics today is not really codified at the ITC-HS level as a distinct category and hence there are operational issues that emerge. There is a need to detail out Defence electronics from chapter 85 of ITC-HS as well as create a simpler procedure for export of such products by populating Category 6 of SCOMET guidelines. • For realization of the Make in India initiative, it is critical to onboard the strength which Indian ITES industry has in the sector. • It is critical to develop a talent pool at the undergraduate, master and doctoral levels. Institutions such as IITs, NITs, IIMs, IIIT & other universities need to have specialized courses that focus on defence, so that there is more awareness of defence as a career opportunity. DEFTRONICS 2015 also expects to witness the charisma of personalities like Sh. Dhirendra Singh (Retd.), former Home Secy., Govt. of India; Cdr P.K. Bhattacharya, OSD (DOMW),Department of Defence Production,MoD, Govt. of India; Dr. Ajit T Kalghatgi Director – R&D,BEL; Rahul Chaudhary, CEO,TATAPOWERSED; Dr. S Radhakrishnan, Director, DIITM,DRDO, Ministry of Defence, Govt. ofIndia; Dr. Laxman Kumar Behera, ResearchFellow, Institute for Defense Studiesand Analyses (IDSA); Dr. Devendra Verma, Chairman & CEO, HSMC ; Sh.

Hikvision IP CCTV system secures Ghana’s International Airport

evels of security inside the Aviation industry have never been higher, mainly due to increased terrorism threat levels across the globe combined with a worldwide rise in smuggling activity. No airport is immune from these pressures and Ghana’s ‘Kotoka International’ can now claim to meet ACC3, the highest accreditation in the aviation industry, thanks to their recent investment in the latest generation of IP CCTV systems from Hikvision. Established in 1994, Aviance Ghana Ltd provides a range of ground handling services at Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport, situated just outside the capital, Accra. The airport itself is Ghana’s premier international flight centre and is capable of accepting very large aircraft, such as the latest generation of Boeing 747. It occupies more than 650 hectares, with two large terminals for domestic/regional and international/longhaul operations that are connected by an internal walkway. Terminal 2 is the principal international departure terminal and includes restaurants,

duty-free shops and two Executive lounges for First and Business Class travellers. There are also two smaller terminals dedicated solely for diplomatic flights and military operations. Aviance Ghana is one of eight companies making up the Aviance Alliance, which operates at more than 100 airport locations across 4 continents. At Kotoka, the ground services include managing all the passenger concourse facilities in Terminal 2, plus passenger check-in and baggage handling, the loading and unloading of cargo from freight flights and a cargo warehouse operation for all import and export needs. Overriding Security Objectives Given that today’s security concerns require the aviation industry to maintain very high levels of protection measures, close scrutiny of the 650 hectare site that the airport occupies and protecting passengers, aircraft and cargo were the twin key objectives for Aviance when deciding to upgrade the Airport’s CCTV system. The company also recognised that intelligently deploying the camera infrastructure would be necessary to maximise cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Aviance Ghana turned to Skylinks Technical Services Ltd and tasked them with designing a solution that would enable it to meet the EU’s ACC3 accreditation, the highest accreditation in the aviation industry. In turn, Skylinks turned to Hikvision for the design of an all-IP CCTV system capable of not only meeting the

Continued from page no.48 current challenges facing Aviance in its operation at Kotoka International Airport but also providing an expandable base that could rise to meet future developments. Securing Public Areas The new Skylink CCTV system design uses four different types of Hikvision IP cameras connected to a 32-channel, RAID 5 NVR over an entirely new Gigabit network infrastructure. According to Haim Atanelov, Skylinks general manager, “The final brief for the CCTV upgrade included installation of new cameras in Aviance’s import and export cargo warehouses, both entry and exit vehicle gates, within the terminal public areas, at the biometric log-in area and associated turnstiles, and within the VIP lounge areas. “In all of these disparate areas, we were challenged by Aviance to deliver high resolution images at all times and in all lighting conditions. It is these pressures that helped us in choosing Hikvision components, with their robust build quality, excellent video quality, and quick and simple installation and operation due to the user-friendly software. It also helped that the products offer very competitive prices and are accompanied by after-sales service and technical support from a first-class team.” The CCTV system uses a combination of IP66-rated dome and bullet cameras with either 1.3 or 3MP resolution. A total of four DS-2CD2312-I 1.3MP Outdoor Network Mini Dome cameras were installed, two in the 50 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

public areas of the terminal and two at the main gates where passengers complete the biometric log-in process and enter through the turnstiles. To complement the dome cameras, nine EXIR bullet cameras were used: five DS-2CD2212-I5 1.3 MP units for general surveillance in the warehouses together with a pair of DS-2CD2232-I5 3MP units where greater resolution was required, and two DS-2CD2632F-I 3MP Vari-focal EXIR cameras for the main vehicle entry and exit gates. “All of the cameras offer great resolution, with 3D DNR and Digital WDR as standard, together with a full complement of alarm triggers, including line crossing and motion and intrusion detection” says Haim Atanelov. “But, the true day/night capability of the EXIR infrared technology meant that they always delivered clear images, even in the warehouses where lighting conditions are not good. Both the 1.3MP and 3MP bullet cameras employed in the warehouses live up to the 50 meter IR range quoted. What’s more, the 30 meter EXIR range of the mini dome cameras deployed in the terminal building is also very useful during night time hours when the building lighting is partially shut down. “We also paid particular attention to the vehicle entry and exit points, in each case choosing the 3MP Vari-focal bullet cameras for their IP66 environmental protection, high resolution, advanced night viewing capabilities and zoom.” Into the future The new system has already proved its worth, helping to completely seal

the export warehouse in particular and enabling Kotoka to meet ACC3 accreditation. Together with securing the import warehouse, which serves global airline and cargo brands such as British Airways, South African Airways, Alitalia, KLM, Virgin, DHL, Cargolux, etc., it means that the airport is well placed to continue to attract business. “Aviance is especially pleased with the smooth integration of the Hikvision IP system with the access control system at the 4 turnstiles,” says Haim Atanelov, “something which was also carefully noted by the EU ACC3 validators. Aviance was also pleased with the integration of the new system with the existing analog CCTV system, although it did show up the difference in video quality immediately. We have already agreed to add further IP cameras to the site and Aviance is committed to phasing out the old system in favour of a totally Hikvision IP system as soon as possible.” About Hikvision Hikvision is the world’s largest supplier of video surveillance products and solutions. The company specializes in innovative video surveillance technology, as well as designing and manufacturing a full line of innovative CCTV and video surveillance products. Hikvision possesses the world’s largest R&D team and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities; both allow Hikvision’s customers the benefit of world-class products that are designed with cutting-edge technology.

64 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

1.0 INTRODUCTION The movement of hazardous substances by any mode of transport presents, in general, a greater risk of accidental release than a static installation. Hazardous substance are transported as solids, liquids or gases under a wide range of temperature and pressure. However, the chances of an accidental release turning into a catastrophe is more when the mode of transport is a road vehicle, which plies through urban areas. The vessel may be a carrier of pressure vessel containing hazardous substances like chlorine, phosgene, etc., or it may be tank truck, tank car, tank trailer or some trailer carrying Class ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’ petroleum in bulk. There have been numerous instances which highlight the dangers of hazardous substances during transit. 2.0 SELECTED ROAD ACCIDENTS India is home to the largest number of road fatalities in the world. According to the National Crime Records Bureau of the Government of India, 1,41,526 persons died and 4,77,731 persons injured, during the year 2014, involving 4,50,898 road accidents. Hundreds of road accidents involving hazardous materials were reported from different parts of India every year. Some of the selected incidents in the transport of hazardous materials are given below. Although about 25 years have elapsed, the case of a road accident, which occurred on the Western Express Highway in Mumbai towards the end of 1991, is still in the

memory of manyand it was a classic example how ignorance can lead to a gruesome disaster, which perished 67 and injured many. In this accident, a tanker which was transporting natural gasoline liquid, overturned, and the material started leaking heavily. The general public (mostly tribal) living in the hamlets near the road, ignored the plea of the driver and cleaner and started collecting the liquid. Somebody might have thrown a lighted matchstick inadvertently, & the liquid caught fire. In the melee, the driver failed to inform the police & ran away. A tanker containing acid and lorry loaded with electric transformers went up in flames after a head-on collision on Munneru River Bridge in Andhra Pradesh on 20-11-2009 (See Fig 01). While the lorry carry-

neighbour, and two persons of a family residing in a building close by, an anganwadi teacher and a child.The accident occurred when the tanker driver lost control over the wheels while negotiating a sharp bend. While the gas from the tanker leaked and caught fire, three LPG cylinders kept in a godown nearby also exploded due to the heat generated. Seven people were charred to death on the spot while 13 others were injured in an Oil Tanker explosion on Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway on 23-03-2014 (See Fig 04).

Fig 02: LPG Tanker Lorry exploded near Kannur, Kerala The fire spread extensively in the area following the explosion. The fire and rescue services personnel could not initially reach near the spot because of the extensive fire that covered a large area. Five houses had caught fire following the explosion. Several shop in the area also been destroyed. Six persons were killed on the spot and four injured when a bullet tanker carrying liquefied petroleum gas overturned and the gas leaking from it caught fire at Perne on Mangalore-Bangalore National Highway on 09-04-2013 (See Fig 03). Two other vehicles in the scene of accident also caught fire but its inmates managed to escape unhurt. At least five houses, a garage, two shops most of them with tiled roofs collapsed & the most articles in them were burnt. Those killed included the driver of the tanker, their

The driver lost control of the tanker while taking a turn on a narrow road to avoid collision with an incoming truck and fell in to a 14 feet deep gutter. The tanker was carrying 14,850 Kgs ammonia. As the truck crashed, gas began leaking from it. The gas was subdued by The Mumbra Fire Brigade and Thane Municipal Corporation’s rescue team.No one was hurt. Fortunately the gas did not spread.The driver escaped, but he was taken into police custody later. 3.0 STATUTES IN INDIA In India, safety provisions regarding the transport of hazardous or dangerous goods are scattered in a number of statutes. Hazardous goods, which are transported by road are mostly either toxic or flammable chemicals. It may be kept in mind that the hazardous wastes transported by road to the treatment at disposal site, are also hazardous goods, which are governed by The Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989 issued under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Toxic and /or flammable gases are transported in cylinder. The Gas Cylinders Rules, 2004, stipulate that no person shall fill any cylinder with any compressed gas or import, possess or transport any cylinder so filled or intended to be filled with gas. If any cylinder containing a flammable or toxic gas, develops a leak during a transport, it shall be promptly removed to an isolated open place away from any source of ignition, and the person responsible for transportation, shall immediately contact the filler or the consigner, as the case may be for necessary advice. Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (unified) Rules, 1981, prescribes that no compressed gas filled in a vessel shall be transported by a vehicle except under, and in accordance with the conditions for a licence granted under SMPV Rules by Chief Controller of Explosives (CCE). www.ind-safety.com

For the safe transport of explosives by road, special provisions are made in the Explosive Rules 1983, framed under the Explosives Act, 1884. The Petroleum Rules, 1976, framed under the Petroleum Act, 1934, stipulate various conditions for transport of petroleum. The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 (CMV) is the most important one as far as transport of hazardous or dangerous goods are concerned. The CMV Rules have elaborate provisions relating to the transport of dangerous goods, which include the specifications and requirements of the vehicles used for transporting hazardous goods, the responsibilities of the consigner, transporters or owners of the vehicle and the drivers, the list of hazardous or dangerous goods with Class label, etc. Since 1989, the CMV Rules have been amended several times for incorporating new provisions based on the shortcomings observed. According to CMV Rules, every goods carriage carrying goods of hazardous nature to human life shall be fitted with a spark arrester, first aid items including fire extinguisher in the vehicles. The CMV Rules has also fixed lot of responsibility on the driver of the goods carriage transporting hazardous goods. According to the CMV Rules the drivers shall ensure that the information given to him in writing is kept in the driver’s cabin and is available at all time while the goods are being transported. The drivers shall also observe at all times all the directions necessary for preventing fire, explosion or escape of hazardous goods carried by him while the goods carriage is in motion, and when it is not being driven, he shall ensure that the goods carriage is parked in a place which is safe from fire, explosion and any other risk, and all the times the vehicle remains under the control and supervision of the driver or some other competent person.

4.0 INTERNATIONAL STATUTES Several international organisations, notably the United Nations and its agencies have produced detail recommendations for the safe transport of chemicals, which have formed the basis for much new legalisations introduced by various Governments all over the world. The publication entitled “Recommendations on Transport of Dangerous Goods (1993), prepared by UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, gives a good guidelines on the subject. Highlights of almost all the legislations brought out by various countries focus on the following: 1. The use of special labels or notices on packages or on vehicles showing emblems, pictorially representing particular dangers. 2. The display on packages or vehicles of descriptive means of prescribed “correct technical names” of the chemicals. 3. The display on vehicles or special signs or plates denoting that the dangerous goods are being conveyed or of plates bearing special code numbers which may identify the substances or reveal its hazardous property or indicate what action should be taken in emergencies. 4. The provision of “instructions in writing” to the driver of a road vehicle carrying the hazardous chemical, concerning the nature of the load & the best way to deal with accidental spillage, fire, etc. 5.0 HAZARD INFORMATION SYSTEM It can be seen from above, that the Hazard Information System plays an important role in the safe transport of hazardous substances. The Hazard Information System consist of the following: 1. Classified information of the hazard according to its nature (UN

5.1 UN Hazard Classification System Hazard Classification and labelling systems are designed to provide a systematic, and comprehensive transfer of health information. The UN Hazard Classification System is the most widely accepted classification system and national classification as a rule comply with UN. The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNRTDG) has classified the chemicals into 9 classes (See Fig 08) The UN Committee of Experts on Transportation of Dangerous Goods have also developed Danger Labels for various classified chemicals recommended by UNRTDG, which are being followed by various Governments for transportation of dangerous or hazardous goods. The UN Hazard Classification System is followed in India. 5.2 Material Safety Data Sheets The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or Chemical Safety Data Sheet

describes the hazards of a material and provides instructions on how the material can be safely handled, used and stored. The ILO code of Practice Safety in the use of Chemicals at Work (1998) states that “the supplier should provide an employer with essential information about hazardous chemicals in the form of a chemical data sheet”. MSDSs are legal requirement in many countries though the title of the document varies from country to country. In India, under the enabling provisions of Section 41-B of the Factories Act, 1948, and the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989, framed under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, insist for a MSDS in the performa in respect of each hazardous chemicals handled by occupier. Due to limitations of space the format of MSDS is not given here. However, for the performa and the details of MSDS, the readers can refer to the publication entitled “Guide to Material Safety Data Sheet (1989) published by Safety and Health Information Bureau, Navi Mumbai. 5.3 Tremcard A Transport Emergency Card (Tremcard) is an essential document used in many countries.

the protective devices, spillage control, first aid, etc. The Tremcard is a handy (A4 Size) & informative document, which need to be carried during transit. The European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) or European Council of Chemical Manufacturers’ Federations (ECCMF), introduced the system of road transport emergency card, popularly called “Tremcards”. A Tremcard is a written document, which should be given to all the drivers of road vehicles, who carry dangerous substances. The instructions including the first aid treatment and advice for dealing with fire or spillage must be written in the language of the states of origin and in the languages of the states of transits and destination. It is a legal document in many countries. In India, it is mandatory to carry Tremcard by the driver of the vehicle transporting hazardous chemicals. Due to limitation of space the specimen of Tremcard is not exhibited here. 5.4 Hazchem Code The Emergency Action Codes commonly known as Hazchem Code, was developed by the Joint Committee on Fire Brigade Operations and confirmed by Health and Safety Executive, U.K. It is an alphanumeric code, which indicates the appropriate firefighting action, the risk of violent reaction, spillage control, personnel protection and evacuation requirement. It is an invaluable short term summary of emergency action and has the advantage of enabling the rapid transmission of information via T.V. Radio or Telephone. In most of the countries Hazchem Codes are to be provided in the emergency information panel of the vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals by road. Hazchem Codes are available for many chemicals. To give few examples, Hazchem Code for Anhydrous Ammonia is 2PE and for Carbon Disulphide is 3WE. The code 2PE means, the chemical can be violently or even www.ind-safety.com

FIRE INDUSTRY » Tech Update

explosively reactive, consider evacuation and use Fog for firefighting. The Code 3WE means, the chemical can be violently or even explosively reactive, consider evacuation and use Foam for firefighting. The details of the code numbers and their explanations are available in a publication entitled “Emergency Action Codes and Supplementing Information for Dealing with Incidents Involving Dangerous Substances conveyed in Bulk by Road or Rail” published jointly by UK Home office, Fire and Emergency Planning Department and National Chemical Centre of UK. 5.5 Emergency Information Panel on Vehicles The Emergency Information Panel gives legend and label marking in appropriate shapes, sizes and shades to be printed on the vehicles transporting any hazardous or dangerous goods. The information should be simple, scientifically illustrated and less worded. Its objective is, if the emergency information is depicted on a panel displayed on the vehicle transporting hazardous goods, the general public will be made aware of the hazards. In India, as per the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, (CMV), every goods carriage transporting any hazardous or dangerous goods shall be legibly marked at prescribed three conspicuous places, an emergency information panel containing: (a) Correct Technical Name, (b) UN Number, (c) Hazchem Code, (d) In Emergency Dial, (e) Class label, and (f) Specialist Advice. For all the above displays the size of the lettering has been prescribed in the rules. The place for fixing Emergency Information Panels in vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals are shown in Fig 09. The dimension of Emergency Information Panel to be fixed in a vehicle transporting hazardous chemicals is shown in Fig 10. Both these illustrations are adapted from www.ind-safety.com

the guidelines issued by the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. The facsimile of information panel on Petroleum Products, is shown in Fig 11.

Fig 09: Place of Emergency Instruction Panel on vehicles

Fig 10: Dimensions of the Emergency Instruction Panel

Fig 11: Sample Emergency Instruction Panel 5.6 Drivers Training Efficiency of transport emergency measures largely depends on the drivers understanding about the nature of hazards and also on the hazard warning system in the vehicle. Bulk of cargo transportation by road in India, is handled by private transporters. Normally, they employ drivers on casual basis, who lack proper training or experiences in transporting

hazardous goods. No doubt, only licensed drivers are selected but our licensing system does no guarantee their competence for driving under critical conditions. Incidentally, as per an estimate, in India, professional drivers are responsible for more than 70 percent of road accidents involving transport vehicles. If the drivers of the vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals is competent in his job, and is made aware of the hazardous nature of goods he is transporting and the safety measures to be undertaken, it will minimise the chances of an accident. If, after an accident, he is able to warn the general public about the hazardous nature of the goods and make them take care of their personal safety, the impact of the accident will be minimal. If warning panels on the hazardous nature of goods are displayed properly on the vehicle, the general public will be benefitted. To meet these requirements, there are adequate provisions in the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. As the drivers of goods carriage transporting hazardous goods are required to read the contents of information pamphlets given to them, and also be able to communicate warnings to the general public, the CMV Rules, have prescribed that any person driving a goods carriage transporting goods of dangerous or hazardous nature to human life shall have the ability to read and write at least one Indian language out of those specified in the VII Schedule of the Constitution of India, and English. The driver should possess a certificate having successfully passed a course consisting of the prescribed syllabus and periodicity (period of training: three days at any institute recognised by the State Government). 6.0 CURRENT SCENARIO IN INDIA Ever since the Bhopal Gas Disaster, the rules regarding the chemical safety has INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2015 | 71

FIRE INDUSTRY » Tech Update

undergone a drastic change not only in India but also globally.In India, a number of new provisions relating to safe handling of hazardous chemicals or goods have been added or incorporated to various existing statutes like the Factories Rules, Gas Cylinder Rules, SMPV Rules, Explosive Rules, Petroleum Rules, etc. An umbrella legislation called “Environment (Protection) Act” was enacted in 1986, under which a series of rules, notably “Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules” was brought out in 1989, to give a wide coverage of chemical safety. Two new rules, Hazardous Waste (Management) Rules and Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, were also brought out in 2008, to take care of the issues relating to hazardous wastes. As the transport of hazardous chemicals or substances in the country had to face many problems, including a series of road accidents, a new legislation viz.: Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMV), was brought in 1989, with a view to overcome the problems. The new CMV rules has provided elaborate provisions relating to the safe transport of hazardous chemicals. The authorities and many safety professionals in the country looked upon to CMV with great expectations for the compliance of various provisions relating to the transport of hazardous chemicals. However, it is sad to say that the present state of affairs is not all complacent. It was observed that many of the provisions in the CMV Rules are not complied by a great majority of consigners, transporters and drivers. A survey carried out by the authors in the states of Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab, Uttarkhand, Uttar Pradesh, etc. revealed that about 90% of the vehicles used for transporting hazardous chemicals are not even provided with the basic mandatory requirements like Emergency Information Panel, Hazchem Code, Class Label, Tremcard, 72 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

MSDS, First Aid Box, Fire Extinguishers, Spark Arrestors, etc.. To quote few examples, a Tanker used in Haryana for transporting Ethyl Alcohol was found without meeting any mandatory requirements (See Fig 12). Similarly a Tanker used in Uttar Pradesh for transporting Hydro Chloric Acidwas found without meeting any mandatory requirements (See Fig 13).

Fig 12: A Tanker used for transporting Ethyl Alcohol – not provided any mandatory requirements

Fig 13: A Tanker used for transporting Hydrochloric Acid – not provided any mandatory requirements Surprisingly, many of the drivers of these vehicles were not aware of the mandatory requirements and some of them have not even heard about the terms like, “Emergency Information Panel”, “Hazchem Code”, “Class Label”, “Tremcard”, and “MSDS”, even though most of them are in procession of a certificate stating that they had undergone a specialised training on transport of hazardous chemicals. 7.0 CONCLUSIONS India has a number of statutes relating

to the transport of hazardous chemicals. The transport of hazardous chemicals by road is very popular in India and the vehicles used include pressurised tankers, tank trucks, tank trailers, etc. Amongst the statutes, the Central Motor Vehicles Rules are the most important of all. There are elaborate rules regarding the transport of hazardous chemicals. However, these rules are not strictly complied by a group of consigners, transporters and drivers. It means that these groups are either deliberately ignoring the safety provisions in CMV and other related Rules or carry out their activities due to ignorance or lack of awareness. In any case, it calls for strict enforcement of rules relating to the transport of hazardous chemicals and also calls for action to create/increase awareness amongst consigners, transporters and drivers. 8.0 REFERENCES 1.

SAFETY INDUSTRY Âť Tech Update

How many safety officers do you have?

Mr. Rajesh Nair

ince the time that industrial safety emerged as legislation in 1800s to enforcementregime in 1900s and a science towards end of 20th Century safety practitioners have played a pivotal role in ensuring people do not get hurt at work places. Although the aim of safety practitioner has been saving lives, the roles they play in the organization has differed from time to time. The question that always intrigues us is that when it comes to safety, how many people an organization needs. This article is not about how to use empirical formulae and find out how big a safety organization needs to be. It about understands the concept of safety and what could be the right line of thinking for the management on staffing the safety department. The question is a valid one across various organizations, but we will examine the question in a manufacturing / construction organization. As a safety practitioner I was often confronted with this question from the line management as to how many people do you think are required in your department. I would generally refer to the industry standards but did not come across anything concrete. A further evaluation into the subject resulted in this article. There are organizations who stipulate a ratio 1: 200 of safety practitioners for a steady state operating / manufacturing company or a ratio of 1: 50 when in construction and lot of simultaneous high risk activities are undertaken.

74 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

These ratios are often documented in the contracts and the incoming contractor brings in a brigade of safety professional. A company employing 3000 construction workers will bring 60-70 safety practitioners on site. These personnel then would flood the site, but the big question is that is this going to make the site any safe. Does hiring a high number of safety supervision lead to better safety performance? At this point in time we are not discussing the qualification of the practitioners. A paper published by IOSH research committee in 2001 [Prof Andy P Smith and Dr Emma J K Wadsworth Cardiff University] concludes that safety performance is independently associated with the safety culture. It also concludes that employee perception of safety is also effects the safety performance. The paper goes on to examine the dependency of quality safety advice to the safety performance and it identifies that there certainly is a dependency. However the paper suggests that a separate research would be required to establish dependency of quality safety advice to the safety performance as the relationship is a very complex. Through this paper and many others it becomesclear thatsafety performance depends on the organizational culture, specifically safety culture. Safety culture has been defined in various ways however the most accepted definition isthat it is joint values, attitudes, and behaviors thatorganizations hold for safety. In short it is all about how an organization collectively works towards keeping its employees safe. A safety culture maturity model has been defined by the Kiel Centre for HSE and this has been first published in 2001 through HSE books. The paper mentions there are five levels of safety maturity models. The levels 1 thru 5 are Emerging,Managing, Involving, and Cooperating and Continuous improvement. Safety is defined as any process

undertaken to prevent or mitigate the damage, to personnel, environment and assets. Safety is never about the stock taking of injured personnel or cost of injury but it is always about controls put in place to protect the people. The safety cultures level 1 to 3, i.e. emerging through Involving are those where safety mostly belongs to the safety department and there is limited involvement of the line management. The matured i.e. cooperating and continuous improving organization has higher involvement of the frontline employees. The point to be understood very clearly is that safety practitioners are not involved in manufacturing or production or allied activities and thus have limited role in preventing an accident that happens from these activities. The safety must thus not belong to the safety department, but entirely to the line management. The safety practitioner must be in advisory & auditing roles & assist the team with working safely. Thus the number of safety personnel required by an organization is function of the level of safety culture maturity. For an organization with highly matured safety culture, considering safety as its core value all the employees are safety conscious. The business or processes involved are designed to give a safe output and the frontline personnel are trained to work safely. In those cases there is no added advantage in having a big safety organization. The safety personnel can be limited and play role of an advisor and auditor. An organizations safety culture matures when the safety knowledge moves out of the safety department and becomes part of the day to day operation. In conclusion the number or organization size of safety department depends on the cultural maturity level of an organization and keeping a large number of safety personnel that requirement can have limited impact on the overall safety performance of an organization. www.ind-safety.com

Gandhi AutomationsDock Levelers

andhi Automations Pvt Ltd - India’s No.1 Entrance Automation and Loading Bay Equipment Company. This widely recognized position has been achieved over years of hard work, innovation, commitment to quality and reliable customer service. The company is also proud to be certified to ISO 9001 : 2008. Since its inception in 1996 we have been manufacturing, importing, distributing and installing products that are problem free and easy to operate. The company offers complete logistics solutions by providing Dock Levelers, Dock Shelters, Sectional Overhead Doors and Dock Houses. Electro-hydraulic, mechanical and air-powered Dock Levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are not only “a bridge for connecting a vehicle”, but also facilitate fast, smooth and safe transition by compensating the difference in heights between the loading bay & the vehicle. This contributes to minimizing energy used and savings on heating and chilling costs resulting in maintaining the quality of the transported goods. Dock Levelers offered by Gandhi Automations are designed as per EN 1398 standard for the most demanding loading & unloading operations. Efficient loading and unloading the goods: The importance of efficient loading the 78 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

goods has always been evident, and it has increased over the years, essentially for two reasons: the lesser availability and the higher cost of manpower. Consequently lesser qualified manpower is being utilised which leads to damage in the goods. The cost of loading and unloading the goods can be calculated precisely and is exactly definable, which allows for a scientific approach to find out the investment that goes into the process. Gandhi Automations has always designed solutions based on such scientific approach and feedback from clients. The Dock Levelers offered by the company ensure loading and unloading with lesser effort and minimal cost. It is possible to load and unload your products in a safe way and in the process obtain remarkable energy savings. The loading bay remains with the Dock Leveler in rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door closed, until the vehicle is positioned. The driver drives back centring to the Dock Shelter and stops the vehicle the moment it gets in contact with the bumpers. The Sectional Overhead Door is then opened only when the vehicle is positioned, brakes applied and engines shut off. This eliminates the exit of hot air, intake of cold air (or the opposite in hot and inside conditioned places) and intake of exhausting gases in the

warehouse. After the Sectional Overhead Door opens, the lip of the Dock Leveler connects to the truck bed for loading / unloading to take place. At the end of the loading/unloading the Dock Leveler is put in rest position and the Sectional Overhead Door is closed, without moving the vehicle. The vehicle then departs at the end of the process. Following are the two types of Dock Levelers a) Radius Lip Dock Levelers Radius Lip Dock Levelers allow the dock to connect with the truck bed, thus making it possible to drive directly on and off with forklift trucks etc. The self-cleaning lip hinging system does not retain rubbish with automatic endof-run, so as to keep the 25 mm security distance between the folded lip and structure as per EN 1398 & EN 349. b) Telescopic Lip Dock Levelers Telescopic Lip Dock Levelers are ideal for connecting vehicles unable to drive near dock i.e. sea containers, side loading railway wagons etc. These types can be supplied with a lip extending up to 1 m. Gandhi Automation’s Dock Levelers are equipped with the most secure safety devices and accessories. For more information. Website: www.geapl.co.in www.ind-safety.com

t present, the leading video coding format is H.264/ MPEG-4, which was initially developed in 1999 and has only recently become the de facto standard in the security/surveillance market. High-efficiency video coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, is a successor to H.264/MPEG-4. This will compress video files to half the size possible using H.264, the most-efficient current encoding format. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. HEVC is used to compress video with 4K resolution, possibly, in the future, even 8K resolution. History - HEVC Technology Background The ITU-T began development of a successor to H.264 in 2004, while ISO/IEC began working in 2007. In January 2010, the groups collaborated on a joint Call for Proposals, which culminated in a meeting of the

MPEG & VCEG Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) in April 2010, at which the name High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) was adopted for the codec. In October, 2010, the JCT-VC produced the first working draft specification, with the Draft Standard - based upon the eight working draft specifications - approved in July, 2012. On January 25, 2013, the ITU announced that HEVC had received first stage approval (consent) in the ITU-T Alternative Approval Process, while MPEG announced that HEVC had been promoted to Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) status in the MPEG standardization process. The initial versions of the specification were frozen so that multiple vendors could finalize their first HEVC products. The current implementation includes a Main profile supporting 8-bit 4:2:0 video, a Main 10 profile with 10-bit support, and a Main Still Picture profile for still digital pictures www.ind-safety.com

SECURITY INDUSTRY » Tech Update

that uses the same coding tools as a video “intra” picture. HEVC will continue to advance, with work already starting on extensions for 12-bit video and 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma formats, as well as incorporating scalable video coding and 3D video into the specifications. On April 13, 2013, HEVC/H.265 was approved as an ITU-T standard. The standard was formally published by the ITU-T on June 7, 2013 and by the ISO/IEC on November 25, 2013. On October 29, 2014, HEVC/H.265 version 2 was approved as an ITU-T standard. It was then formally published on January 12, 2015. On April 29, 2015, HEVC/H.265 version 3 was approved as an ITU-T standard. How HEVC (H.265) Works Like H.264 and MPEG-2, HEVC uses three frame types, I-, B- and P-frames within a group of pictures, incorporating elements of both inter-frame and intra-frame compression. HEVC incorporates numerous advances, including: Coding Tree Blocks: Where H.264 used macro blocks with a maximum size of 16x16, HEVC uses coding tree

www.ind-safety.com

blocks, or CTBs, with a maximum size of 64x64 pixels. Larger block sizes are more efficient when encoding larger frame sizes, like 4K resolution. This is shown in the figure below: Where H.264 used 9 intra prediction directions, HEVC can use over 35, adding more potential reference pixel blocks that fuel more efficient intra-frame compression. The obvious cost is the additional encoding time required to search in the additional directions. Other advances include: • Adaptive Motion Vector Prediction, which allows the codec to find more inter-frame redundancies • Superior parallelization tools, including Wavefront parallel processing, for more efficient encoding in a multi-core environment • Entropy coding is CABAC only, no more CAVLC • Improvements to the deblocking filter and the creation of a second filter called Sample Adaptive Offset that further limits artifacts along block edges H.265 is far more difficult to encode

as a result of its complexity, and can require up to 10 times the compute power to encode at the same speed as H.264. H.265 Implementation The implementation of H.265 is inevitable but some years away. As with other video standards, the security market inherits the H.265/HEVC format from the much larger consumer electronics market. Typically, after standards are developed, it takes several years for their use to make its way into various markets, starting with the consumer video market and later into security and other smaller markets. IP camera manufacturers supporting H.265 have just begun releasing products, with some stating they have a 40 percent or more bit rate reduction at the same visual quality as H.264. First prototypes from major camera manufacturers were introduced at the ISC West 2015. Summary • H.265 compress video files to half the size possible using H.264. • On April 29, 2015, HEVC/H.265 version 3 was approved as an ITU-T standard. • HEVC uses coding tree blocks, or CTBs, with a maximum size of 64x64 pixels. • Where H.264 used 9 intra prediction directions, HEVC can use over 35. • H.265 can require up to 10 times the compute power to encode at the same speed as H.264. • VMS with H.265 compatibility and H.265 Cameras were introduced at the ISC West 2015.

Authored article on topic- Security Scenario in BFSI sector in India

by Mr Dinesh Pillai CEO Mahindra Special Services Group

anking as a business involves the management of risks. While much has been said about the financial risks, the risks arising out of the large scale implementation of technology has been on the rise over the last few years, unfortunately to compete banks have no choice except to leverage on large scale use of technology for their normal day-to-day business. Security in banks has thus assumed significant position, comprising both physical as well as Information, as it could have an impact on the reputational risk of a financial organisation. The onset of the digital age has had a transformative effect on economic and social interaction. One landscape on which the impact has been most notable is that of the financial & the banking sector in particular. Enhancing customer experience and trust has been the constant endeavour of financial instructions and banks across the world. Today, there are a plethora of opportunities for a better customer experience. Digital avenues of interaction such as the internet, mobile, tablets have veered customers away from traditional channels such as branches and ATMs. While this presents a huge potential for

improving both the reach as well as the quality of engagement, it also brings up the other challenge security risks, frauds and cybercrimes etc. Over the past few years, Cyber criminals have been constantly developing new and increasingly sophisticated tactics, and deploying them quickly throughout their networks. However they are going beyond some of the more common security threats that the banks and other financial institutions are aware of like Phishing, Spyware and Adware, Viruses, Trojans and Key loggers. As banks become more involved in technology outsourcing, they face significant challenges in managing the risks associated with the third party technology service providers. When partnering with a security vendor it is essential to look at a number of elements including vendor reputation, reliability, scalability and lastly security which is of utmost importance. A bank must conduct adequate due diligence to identify and select a competent and reputed partner who can not only support the current requirements based on the ISO 27001, but also go beyond ISO 27001 by having provisions and a vision for innovation to match up with

the threat landscape which continues to evolve as per the time. At Mahindra SSG we offer risk assessments, advice& implement risk mitigation framework & provide positive assurance on governance & compliance. For the BSFI sector in India, we offer an integrated solution that includes Information Security Management System, Technology & Baseline Hardening, and Electronic Counter-Surveillance & Change Management. Mahindra SSG believes in mapping the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk profile by analysing business processes, technology infrastructure and people awareness level. Based on the risk profiling, Mahindra SSG designs the Information Security Framework which mainly consist of policies, procedures and necessary controls to bring the risk exposure to acceptable level. The sensitization process starts with the organization leaders as what leaders do common men follow.

Consulting firms in India and over the past years and have been instrumental in enabling over 250 major corporate clients secure their people, assets, information and reputation. The company’s distinctiveness lies in its ‘People-Centric’ approach; endorsed by clients across scores of implementations. Headquartered in Mumbai, India, the company has presence in major cities and the capability to operate out of several global locations. The following needs to be rewritten as mobile banking seems to be picking up at a faster pace these days with Axis Bank offering facilities to bank using Twitter, Facebook etc. In India, due to high mobile density the potential of mobile and online banking as a delivery channel in particular for financial and banking services is unrivalled in India. However, mobile banking has not picked up in a big way due to constraints of mobile numbers registration, user authentication, user interface, etc. However, this is fast changing. According to Reserve Bank of India data, the volume of mobile banking transactions has risen from around Rs 1,819 crore in 2011–12 to approximately Rs 1,01,851 crore in 2014-15, indicating a growing acceptance for online and mobile banking in India. A few essential security tips for consumers to remember: 1. Password protects your smart device, laptop as well as your banking application. Never store usernames and passwords on your mobile device 2. Install adequate antivirus software 3. Adopt safe practices such as not opening attachments or clicking on links contained in emails received from unfamiliar sources 4. Never respond to text messages requesting personal information, such as Social Security numbers, credit/debit/ATM card numbers, and account numbers 5. Check your online statement regularly and immediately notify www.ind-safety.com

the banks of any unauthorized transactions With increasing numbers of online data theft, cyber insurance is in demand by corporates globally as well as in India. Privacy breach liability, cyber extortion, business interruption losses, liability from multimedia and public relations costs, legal expenses and data theft liability are some of the elements covered under cyber insurance. As per data sourced by the Right to Information Act, In 2012-13, domestic banks lost Rs.17,284 crore on account of fraud. As India goes digital and e-commerce takes off, many leading banks and financial institutions are opting for Cyber Insurance. Over the past few years, plastic money has gained a lot of acceptance and popularity as it eliminates the risk of handling cash and dealing the issues of mutilated notes, fake notes. Even merchants encourage the concept of a plastic transaction. A few years back card transactions were highly vulnerable, but the recent RBI mandate to verify all offline tractions with the PIN number and all online transactions with a second-level authentication has really minimised threats when making card payment

security effectiveness without affecting operational efficiency beyond acceptable limits. The implementation was executed over the following phases viz. Benefits to the Client Information Security Management System, Technology & Baseline Hardening, Electronic Counter-Surveillance and Change Management. Implementation methodology ensured evaluation of the existing environment at the bank with regards to the InfoSec awareness levels, threat perceptions, systems & procedures in place & the capability of the bank to prevent InfoSec breaches. This was done in a ‘dollarized’ manner which clearly displayed the cost of status quo.

Solutions: A client of ours is a leading player in the Indian industry in both retail and corporate banking sector. In the last few years there had been rapid development of IT systems and services in the organization and various businesses within the bank stored and used data differently, therefore a common classification of such information was a key challenge to be overcome. Hence, the bank felt an urgency to protect their information assets, customer confidentiality and trust; but were uncertain about the priority areas and the current risk profile of the bank. Integrated Solution Information Security (InfoSec) posture was defined to include handling, processing, storage, transmission and destruction of information to assure and constantly improve the

Regulatory Compliance - This mandate ensured that relevant control processes were put in place to facilitate compliance with stringent regulatory requirements related to operational data and client sensitive information. In the second part of the mandate, we would be assisting the bank in an organization wide rollout of the implementation as was done for the corporate office, along with handholding them for attaining the ISO27001 certification for Information Security. Positive Assurance Our InfoSec Implementation Methodology established risk management systems that reinforce and support accountability, making it a sustainable initiative in the long term and helped to minimize the gap between management perception and ground reality.

Some of the benefits to the client included: Retaining and Enhancing Competitive Advantage - We derisk their processes such that customer data and confidentiality of operations is maintained. Third party access to sensitive data was also defined and strict controls were put in place. The implementation methodology ensures InfoSec gaps are identified and addressed immediately.

HID Global Reader with lumidigm technology simplifies use of citizen ID, loyalty & other cards containing biometric information

ID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, announced that it has integrated the company’s Lumidigm® biometrics technology with its widely deployed OMNIKEY® contactless smart card readers to simplify identity validation for citizen ID and many financial, healthcare and other commercial applications. With the Lumidigm V-Series V371 fingerprint reader, program administrators can verify users’ identities by having them present a card, fingerprint or both to the reader. The solution is designed to streamline enrollment and transactions while preventing the use of fake fingerprints. “As the first HID Global offering to integrate Lumidigm technology, the V371 reader brings the best available fingerprint biometric performance to contactless reader applications where knowing your customer is of utmost importance,” said Paul Butler, vice president and general manager of the biometrics business at HID

Global. “The V371 streamlines cardholder access and eliminates fraud from shared or stolen ID cards. Other anti-counterfeit methods have been used to combat card fraud, but only the V371 ensures authenticated users are the same people that were issued the cards.” Originally designed for a national citizen ID program, the V371 is a perfect tool for any identity verification application where individuals enroll their fingerprint information onto a contactless card. Validation is accomplished by matching the individual’s fingerprint with his or her biometric data that was written to the card during enrollment. Applications include: • Citizen ID: Provides a simple way to prove the identity of citizens when crossing borders, voting, and receiving financial, healthcare and other government benefits through public distribution programs. A biometric national ID card is all that is required to validate a trusted identity, replacing the old process of using an ID book, passport and/or utility bills.

account access. It also can be used for gym membership, phone SIM card registration, customer loyalty programs and more, enabling businesses to validate a person’s true identity prior to offering a service. Typically, card-and-fingerprint readers require two hands during use -- one to hold the card and the other to present a fingerprint for image capture. The company’s Lumidigm V371 reader eliminates this inconvenience with a cradle that holds the card and also provides LED feedback during use to ensure proper card placement. Performance is further improved with Lumidigm multispectral imaging technology, which ensures clear, clean fingerprint images even when skin features are absent or hard to distinguish due to age, dirt, finger pressure and/or skin or environmental conditions. This technology also protects against fake fingerprints by using patented liveness detection capabilities that, similar to anti-virus software, can be regularly updated in the field as new threats are identified.

• Healthcare services: Includes validating identity for patient registration, e-prescribing and benefit eligibility. • Financial services and other commercial transactions: Solves challenges of authenticating high-value financial services transactions and 94 | AUGUST 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
