Increasing awareness & stricter law enforcement stimulates fire & safety market in India, Finds Frost & Sullivan ‘Consolidation a Key Trend in this Fragmented Market’

T

he growing economy as well as an expanding construction sector provides a strong platform for investments in the Indian fire and safety market. The increasing number of fire accidents across the country is also highlighting the need for better safety standards and equipments across end-user sectors, especially in government offices, schools, colleges, and public places such as railway stations and airports. As reported recently, there were about 22,000 fire related incidents across India. In Mumbai, about 300 odd high rise buildings have been issued notices for not adhering to fire safety norms. Gross violation of fire safety norms enshrined in the National Building Code by builders is a significant reason for the increasing number of fire accidents, as such noncompliance does not entail severe or major penalty.

As a result, market revenues for fire and gas detection and suppression systems are expected to rise from the INR 13.54 billion in 2012 to INR 25.32 billion in 2016, according to the new study from Frost & Sullivan (http:// www.buildingtechnologies.frost.com) titled Analysis of Fire and Safety Market in India. Fire and life safety equipments are becoming mandatory in commercial and industrial buildings, and high-rise apartments too are paying close attention to the safety of property and life.

“The fire and life safety market is a code-driven one, and although building and safety codes have not been enforced strictly in the past, they will become stringent as awareness rises across India,” said Frost & Sullivan’s Environment & Building Technologies Research Analyst.

4 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

“Demand will continue to go up as local governments and insurance firms take steps to enforce safety regulations and educate end users on the need for safety compliance.”

Unfortunately, many Indian end-users still view fire and safety equipment as a non-productive investment. Very often, basic standards are not met, and even in places where equipment is installed, only a few number of occupants are trained to use fire and safety devices. Moreover, intense competition, price-sensitive end users, and the lack of product differentiation act as barriers to the development of this highly fragmented market. Consolidation is inevitable as companies look to adopt the inorganic model for growth to stay competitive.

Presently, big companies are securing the market share through acquisitions and expansions, and by gaining access to tier III cities.

“Competitive pricing, superior product performance, after-sales support, efficient technology, reliability, and strong contractor and customer relationships will play a vital role in helping companies establish a foothold in the Indian market,” revealed the analyst. “Although business is coming in from new projects in the construction sector, focus on retrofit segment will open up immense opportunities over the next few years.

Critical infrastructure including mass transportation like Railways, Metro Rail, Intelligent Transportation systems and Airport Security will offer the maximum opportunities for the fire and life safety systems.”

From a technology perspective, mass notification services, integration of voice evacuation systems, and use of

addressable systems to find the exact location of the fire etc. are expected to gain grounds in India. Integration of fire detection systems, surveillance systems with building management systems will continue along with increased use of IP and wireless technologies replacing traditional telephone lines which is the primary alarm communication method now.

Indian market is also witnessing the usage of multi-sensor detectors combining up to four detectors: regular photo sensor, a light sensor, a heat sensor, and a carbon monoxide sensor.

Mircom Group CEO & Founder Tony Falbo Celebrates 50 Years in the Life Safety Industry

FIRE INDUSTRY

On Saturday, December 14th, Mircom Group’s CEO & Founder, Mr. Tony Falbo, celebrated his 50th anniversary in the life safety industry. His celebration was held at Montecassino event venue in Toronto, Canada. Approximately 700 people were in attendance, including dedicated staff, friends, family members and numerous dignitaries.

The story of Tony Falbo is that of the proverbial “American Dream”. Tony immigrated to Canada from Cosenza, Italy with his family in 1960. As a 16 year-old in Toronto, his first year in his new country, Tony continued a passion that began in Italy, and took night school classes in electronics at Central Tech Collegiate.

In 1963, Tony entered into the electronics industry with a start-up called Mirtone, a manufacturer of apartment intercom and related systems in Toronto. While Tony’s initial duties included all manner of jobs from general labour and assembly to sweeping the floors, he later went on to become President of the company.

As President, Tony oversaw the change of Mirtone from a 2 million dollar a year business to a 35 million dollar yearly business in the 80s.

By 1988 some of Mirtone’s founders had left the business. With innovative and easy-to-use products, Mirtone expanded across Canada and the U.S. This success made Mirtone attractive to larger competitors, and ownership decided the time had come to sell the business. In 1988 Mirtone was sold to General Signal.

The sale of Mirtone and the resulting time off for reflection reinvigorated Tony’s passion for innovation and entrepreneurship. In 1991, Tony’s noncompete agreement had expired and his desire to design and manufacture his own line of products would come to life in a new company… Mircom.

Tony’s vision for the new company focused on leveraging the abundance of Canadian engineering and research talent to protect people and property. He created a business that included all aspects of designing, manufacturing, selling, servicing and supporting fire alarm and communication technology under one roof by one team.

With the Mircom Group of Companies now a major player in the building solutions industry, it has earned a reputation for excellence, innovation and quality. After fifty years in the game, Tony Falbo, as an innovator, entrepreneur, and humanitarian continues to seek ways to improve the fire safety of future generations of buildings and the people who occupy them.

CONGRATULATIONS on your Golden Jubilee, You have lived your dream and done it successfully.

With a lot of perseverance you have built this great empire, While focusing on your vision, you have never lost that fire.

18 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

he British Safety Council presented the Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour to 2013 winners at its celebratory awards luncheon at the Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London on 29 November. These awards, for health and safety management and environmental management excellence respectively, are made in recognition of the exemplary performance by the winning organisations and their employees.

Presenting the awards Lynda Armstrong OBE, chair of the Trustees of the British Safety Council, said: “Our warmest congratulations to the eight of our member organisations who have won the Globe of Honour and the 68 organisations who have won the Sword of Honour. Seven organisations won both the Sword and Globe of Honour. Our warmest congratulations to all of the winning organisations & all of your employees.

“What the awards being bestowed today enable us to do is recognise and celebrate the excellence of the winning organisations and your employees in managing health, safety and environmental risks.

“The standard we have set in order to win the Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour is high. We intend that the winning standard will remain high, with the bar being raised every year, to ensure that the role of the awards in driving continued improvement is sustained.”

The winning organisations (listed below) came from a wide range of sectors including construction, custodial services, education and training, energy generation and distribution, financial services, food and drink, leisure, logistics, major hazards, manufacturing, motor vehicle manufacture, offshore oil and gas, retail and

transport.

Lynda Armstrong added: “The winning organisations are united in their shared belief that proportionate and competent risk management brings both financial and social benefits to their organisations. Managing health, safety and environmental risks effectively does not need to be onerous; quite the opposite.”

The British Safety Council paid tribute to those seven organisations who won the ‘double’ – both the Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour. These were: AWE Construction; Dubai Electricity and Water Authority; Hargreaves Industrial Services (Liverpool Bulk Handling Terminal); Mace Ltd (Technology and Renewable Energy) Horizon Centre; Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd; Unipart Consumer Logistics – Cowley; and United Biscuits – Midlands Distribution Centre.

The 2013 awards mark the 34th consecutive year of the British Safety Council’s Sword of Honour, awarded for health and safety management excellence, and the fourth year of the Globe of Honour, awarded for excellence in environmental management.

The winners had achieved the maximum five stars in the British Safety Council’s audit scheme in the period August 2012 – July 2013.

They have also demonstrated to an independent adjudication panel a culture of best practice in health and safety or environmental management throughout the business – from the shopfloor to the boardroom.

The winning organisations are drawn from countries such as Germany, Jersey, India, the Middle and Far East and the United Kingdom, demonstrating the global spirit of the Continue on page no.22

CP PLUS introduces CORAL series with HDCVI technology in India

C

P PLUS GmbH & Co. KG launches CORAL series with HDCVI technology (a revolutionary technology from Dahua Technology), comprising Analog and Digital Video Recorders range, equipping the analog solution to deliver high definition video under conventional co-axial cabling environment at an affordable value.

Today’s Challenges : Analog video is a universal standard and has been there for several decades in the industry. In fact, the surveillance deployments are still majorly dominated by analog solutions.

Although surveillance technology and its market are undergoing a profound change, the IP solution is popular due to its High Definition image quality and less generation losses. Knowing these facts, analog surveillance still admired due to its affordability, vast existing market, easy to install (Plugn-Play) features.

It has been observed that system Integrators/customers face barriers in analog solution especially where high definition video is demanded by the customers. They generally demand for high quality images at affordable cost. At the time of any incident, the surveillance solution should not only be able to detect but also capture minute details of the same. In addition to this, analog surveillance does not support long co-axial cables for video transmission. Despite this fact, long distance cables are being used, resulting in poor video quality.

“Considering such challenges, the HDCVI technology has been introduced in our CORAL series of analog CCTV cameras and Digital Video Recorders. The highest available resolution in analog is 960H, HDCVI crosses the barrier and offers High

Definition video quality in existing analog infrastructure” expressed, W.E. WROLDSEN, Managing Director, CP PLUS GmbH & Co. KG. In addition to High Definition video quality, HDCVI offers host of benefits such as : 1. Affordable High Definition Video Surveillance Solution 2. Easy & fast upgradation to High Definition video 3. Works on traditional co-axial cable 4. Long distance video transmission over 500mtr 5. Video, audio & control just over one cable

How HDCVI works: HDCVI modulates video signal to level and then transmit by adopting base-band and quadrature amplitude modulation, which is also the reason of its naming. HDCVI solution incorporates both cameras and DVRs and the system is star topology structured. DVR is served as a node to have an over Coax P2P (Point-toPoint) transmission to camera. Cable selection is based on transmission distance; cable 75-3 and 75-5 are recommended for transmission within 500mtr, cable 75-5 and above for over 500mtr. Connector and jointing technology could be applied for connecting and installation is exactly is the same as that of conventional analog devices, which posts no special requirements either for indoor or outdoor scenarios with better antiinterference capability offered.

Therefore, HDCVI is an optimal solution for megapixel high definition application, featuring non-latent nondistance transmission at lower cost.

Iran Zamin Bank in Tehran bolsters security with IP Solution from VIVOTEK

T

he Iran Zamin Bank in Iran’s capital city, Tehran, is a non-government owned bank that was established in 2011. The bank takes pride in providing its customers with firstrate services and ensuring a safe and comfortable banking environment.

The security system, equipped with some of VIVOTEK’s finest cameras, is just one testament to how much the bank values its clientele. Having entered the financial industry in the last decade, Iran Zamin Bank has the major advantage of keeping abreast of technological advancements, and is thus able to present new and distinguished services to its clients. Iran Zamin Bank, along with other Iran banks, plays a significant role in leading the nation’s economy forward.

From Analog to IP Due to the high degree of sensitivity a bank surveillance system demands, Iran Zamin Bank decided early on to replace several of their Analog cameras with IP options. The low image quality of Analog presents potential

security issues, especially when finely detailed analyses of video images are required, which may be the case in a bank branch setting. Additionally, the standardization solutions of analog cameras are deficient.

The alternative, IP cameras, is not only much easier to operate, but also boasts solution credibility that far exceeds analog. Considering these factors, the manager of Iran Zamin Bank decided to exchange the analog cameras with the several digital IP cameras. The move was quite well received, as technological improvements via VIVOTEK eventually spread to every branch.

Enhanced Security Inside and Outside Having already decided on an IPbased solution to bolster infrastructure, the next order of business was to weigh out the options. The manager of Iran Zamin Bank, in preparation for the security and surveillance system migration in all Iran Zamin Bank branches, began scouting for hardware and consulted with Prooya Fara Negar (PFN) Technology, VIVOTEK’s local distributor. With superior quality and a competitive price, VIVOTEK cameras proved to be their first choice.

Once the decision was made, the PNR-C032R NVR model was promptly installed in all branches, providing much needed recording storage.

The professional storage device has a 12 terabyte HDD storage capacity and comes with VIVOTEK ST7501 software. As installments of the PNRC032R model were under way branch wide, plans to put in various other VIVOTEK models were also in the making.

The FD8135H was another model employed in all four branches, specifically for monitoring indoor areas. With one-megapixel resolution, night visibility and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, the device can capture clear footage even when both bright and dark areas are present in the same field of view. Another addition to each branch was the FD8162. It has the capacity to capture sharp details of people coming and going through the bank’s main entrances.

This 2-megapixel powerful camera also performs particularly well indoors; equipped with the WDR Enhancement technology feature, this camera ensures security through clarity, and a PNR-C064R NVR was installed for more storage. This model comes with 36 terabytes of HDD storage, plenty of space to record

and store all that goes on in the bank.

Moving to the exterior of the bank, the FD8372 camera, with 5-Megapixel or Full HD resolution at a superb video streaming up to 30 fps, was used for outdoor areas of the branches.

When it came to the central building of the bank and its branches, still other VIVOTEK cameras were selected, including the FD8335H. Twenty units of this camera were installed to monitor parking lots and different floors within the branches. The IP8335H with the IP67-rated weatherproof housing, one-Megapixel resolution, and night visibility was therefore strategically positioned outdoors.

Reliable Surveillance Strengthens the Protection William Ku, Vice President of VIVOTEK’s International Business Division, stated: “It’s great that we participated in the surveillance upgrade project of Iran Zamin Bank. As we know, the reliable security infrastructure in bank is important since it can not only act as the deterrent, but also provide the post-event footage as undisputable evidence. VIVOTEK cameras with superior image quality and performance are undoubtedly the ideal choices, fully cementing the safety and security in Zamin Bank.”

Milestone supports health & safety monitoring 24/7 at Bam Nuttall Highway Services XProtect Express integrated with Paxton Net2 access control

M

ilestone XProtect® open platform IP video management software (VMS) has been deployed to protect Bam Nuttall’s Highway Services Unit in Winsford, Cheshire, in the UK. Milestone Certified Partner NW Systems Group was hired to install a comprehensive yet cost effective video monitoring system based on Milestone XProtect® Express VMS. NW Systems used high quality network cameras from three different manufacturers to provide surveillance of the external areas. Coverage focused on the large rear yard which provides storage for high value road signs, street lighting poles and motorway crash barriers. They also installed multi-megapixel wide angle cameras internally to cover a large factory making signs for Bam Nuttall’s road maintenance teams, primarily for health and safety monitoring.

Milestone XProtect Express video management software provides centralized management of images from all the network cameras.

XProtect® was integrated with Paxton Net2 access control to ensure security of office space through the night at this 24-hour site. The Milestone XProtect® Smart Client interface gives front-end views on the laptops of authorized managers, and the Milestone Mobile client enables distribution of live and recorded video to their smartphones and tablets for remote monitoring around the clock.

Bam Nuttall Highway Services already used mobile cameras on its road sign trailers to monitor the

48 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

activity of teams putting out and collecting road signs in areas where road works are ongoing.

Steve Gee, Highway Engineering Manager at Bam Nuttall Highway Services, explained: “Recently one of our trailer cams captured an incident where a car drove into the back of one of our trailers.

The driver then backed away from the trailer, whereupon one of our team stood in between the trailer and the driver’s car to tell him to move onto the hard shoulder - an example of unsafe practice which puts this employee at risk. Team managers now play this video to staff as part of a training exercise on procedure in case of emergencies like this. It is our job as a responsible employer to highlight good and poor practice and use visual aids like this to improve training and minimise accidents at work. We have found that camera recordings are a great tool for affecting behavioral change.”

Frank Crouwel, Managing Director at NW Systems, added: “We’ve designed and developed a fully integrated and mobile video and access control security system for Bam Nuttall Highway Services so managers can view images from across the site and link door entry events with video to provide comprehensive 24-hour security of the offices.

The video enables managers to keep an eye on road sign manufacturing operations to ensure Health & Safety procedures are being followed. It also enables security operatives to gain

visibility of the internal areas from any mobile device – something that is very useful if intrusion detectors trigger alarms in the middle of the night.”

About Milestone Systems Founded in 1998, Milestone Systems is the global industry leader in open platform IP video management software, according to IMS Research.

Milestone technology delivers powerful surveillance that is easy to manage, reliable and proven in thousands of customer installations around the world. With support for the widest choice in network hardware and integration with other systems, XProtect provides best-in-class solutions to video enable organizations – managing risks, protecting people and assets, optimizing processes and reducing costs. Milestone software is sold through authorized and certified partners.

Sony introduces new W series Rapid Dome IP Cameras to harness IPELA ENGINE™ PRO technology Industry leading features to address critical security needs

ony Electronics continues its commitment to advance the security industry with the launch of 4 new Rapid Dome IP Full HD/ HD* security cameras that feature 30x optical zoom and the industry’s, fastest pan speed, highest frame rate, and widest dynamic range.

A wide dynamic range is critical to producing true-to-life picture quality and colour in strong backlight conditions, and the W series is able perform on this point by being the world’s first Full HD security camera to feature 130dB of wide dynamic range.

This gives operators the confidence to accurately describe and assess a security incident, which is vital in any post incident review or investigation.

The cameras are also equipped to perform in severe conditions with the latest IPELA ENGINE™ PRO technology, which is an advanced step up from the award winning IPELA ENGINE™. As part of this new technology, the W series feature set includes • Gyroscopic image stabilization to reduce the effect of vibrations during strong winds or when installed near roads • Image defogging to increase image visibility under poor weather conditions, • Focal plane distortion correction to correct image distortion caused by panning.

• Continuous 360 degree pan movement at the industry-leading speed of 700 degrees per second

Designed for wide area surveillance areas such as airports, stadiums, casinos and border control, the W series allows operators to quickly pan to areas of interest in a single quick motion, and identify the situation.

No security team would want to be in a “Blink and its Gone” situation, and the W series prevents this by shooting at twice the number of frames as conventional IP cameras.

The 60fps gives the operator more details to analyse when stepping frame by frame through the video, making a difference in identifying a person or an object in question.

“Sony is committed to providing the absolute best for the security industry,” said Mr. Riki Nishimura, General Manager of Visual Security Solutions, Professional Solutions Company (PSAP) at Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “And we have lived up to our commitment with our latest W series Rapid Dome IP cameras, which are packed with industry leading features to address mission critical and wide area surveillance” he added.

The SNC-WR630 and SNCWR600 are rated for indoor use with full HD and HD resolution respectively, while the SNC-WR632 and SNC-WR602 unitized models are IP66 rated for outdoor use with full HD and HD resolution respectively.

The cameras will be available in the Asia Pacific region from January 2014 onwards.

Simon King wildlife brings the public closer to the natural world via VIVOTEK network cameras Full-hearted Passion towards Wildlife Simon King, the founder of SimonKingWildlife.com, is a renowned and highly-esteemed naturalist with a strong love and passion for the natural world. Because of his ardent love of nature, Simon has completely devoted his career to wildlife preservation and observation. Simon’s first film on nature was created at the age of 12 and, as an adult, Simon has created, directed and hosted many TV programmes and films on wildlife.

He has received several prestigious international awards, recognising him as one of the greatest contributors to wildlife.

These awards include the Emmy Award (Academy of Television Arts & Sciences) for outstanding cinematography, the BAFTA Award (British Academy of Film & Television Arts) for best factual photography, and was awarded the OBE for services to conservation and wildlife photography. In 2013, Simon King established SimonKingWildlife.com, an online platform that compiles resources and observations on wildlife.

Monitoring wildlife at close range can cause considerable problems due to their inherently cautious nature and suspicion of new or unusual objects. The unpredictable climate is another variable in observing wildlife.

Moreover, many people who have an interest in wildlife might not have sufficient free time to visit natural locations in person. Taking into account these complex considerations, Simon created the “Live Cams” section on his website to bring audiences

52 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

closer to nature. Viewers can easily view wildlife at various locations in real-time through live video streams, which are captured and transmitted

by IP network cameras.

Superior Quality For Vivid Monitoring IP network cameras chosen for monitoring wildlife in real-time around the clock have to be exceptionally robust, capable of high image quality and resilient to the stringent and ever-changing natural environment.

More importantly, intelligent video management software (VMS) is needed for proactive motion detection of the animals.

By employing intelligent VMS, the movement and activity of wild animals can be triggered, informed and recorded in real-time. Based on these requirements, Simon King consulted iCode Systems, a leading VMS manufacturer in UK. Highly recommended by Huw Edwards, the director of iCode Systems, VIVOTEK’s outdoor network cameras IP8332-C and Mini-Box network camera IP8152 fully integrates with iCode Systems’ VMS iCatcher, and the solution was selected to meet Simon King’s requirements.

locations in England set up for monitoring wildlife in real-time, including a camera in the London region for monitoring peregrines and foxes, one in Somerset County for monitoring otters, kingfishers, dippers and badgers, and one in Wales for kites, buzzards, and ravens. In this project, VIVOTEK’s IP8332-C and IP8152 cameras play a pivotal role.

The IP8332-C, a bullet-style network camera designed for diverse outdoor applications, features a 1-megapixel CMOS sensor and a removable IR-cut filter for day and night functionality, which enables high quality and high resolution video to be captured. In order to withstand harsh outdoor environments, the camera is encased in an IP66-rated housing and weatherproof casing.

Moreover, the IP8332-C is further strengthened by projecting the cable with the brackets, making it the ideal model for outdoor installations.

Subsequently, the IP8152, which is equipped with the outstanding supreme night visibility feature, is able to deliver excellent video quality in low light environments.

Paired with the built-in IR-cut filter, the range of visibility can be further increased at night by allowing the use of IR illuminators, allowing nocturnal wildlife activities to be clearly identifiable and recordable.

site to share the wonder of wildlife with as many people as possible, wherever in the world they may be.

Thanks to Huw Edwards’ professional advice and assistance, we selected VIVOTEK cameras with iCode System’s intelligent VMS i-Catcher.

Subsequently we have managed to capture extraordinary and extremely rare wildlife events on our camera systems with VIVOTEK cameras, and the agile and real-time surveillance and recording through iCatcher! We’ll keep VIVOTEK cameras as our top choice whenever a new observation site is set up in the future. ” “I am really pleased that the surveillance solution and its performance not only satisfied Simon’s requirements, but also surpassed his expectations” comments Huw Edwards. “Integrated with our i-Catcher VMS, which uses motion detection to trigger the recording of passing wildlife, the entire surveillance system truly offers an easy wildlife monitoring and recording solution.”

Sanyu Elementary School Builds A Safer Learning Environment with VIVOTEK Surveillance Solutions A Safer Campus Where Children Can Learn and Grow Schools are places for students to learn and acquire professional and social skills. For children and young adults, school is also a place that shapes their personality, integrity and self-respect. However, schools often double as public places that are open to communities, making the safety and security on campus exceptionally important. Issues that may compromise campus security are diverse, ranging from trespassing and theft, to bullying, vandalism and injury. School-aged children are vulnerable and lack awareness when it comes to confronting danger.

Thus, an integrated security mechanism with advanced and seamless surveillance should be installed on campus, securing a safe learning environment for children.

With an advanced surveillance system, school staff can perform security networking right on ca mpus, and police or security can do so remotely.

If a suspicious person or object is detected, the alarm will trigger, mobilizing real-time assistance. Early

detection of a dangerous situation on campus significantly increases the likelihood of prevention.

Enhanced Infrastructure, Strengthened Security Sanyu Elementary School, located in the Tienmu area of Shihlin District, Taipei, Taiwan was founded in 1993.

With a strong commitment to education, Sanyu Elementary School has executed a series of initiatives for building up a safe campus for its 1,500 students from grades 1 to 6.

The school prioritizes healthy development and quality education, which can be seen in various academic courses, dynamic and multifaceted extracurricular activities, vigorous physical education programs and events, and a comprehensive tutorial system. However, solid security is needed for all these initiatives to operate smoothly, and to ensure parents that their childr en are learning in a safe environment. Sanyu Elementary School has put lots of effort and resources into security infrastructure enhancement & renovation.

The surveillance system, as the pivotal mechanism for security on campus, also got an overhaul. After seeing the insufficient image quality of the existing analog cameras, the school decided to upgrade to an IP-based surveillance system. With VIVOTEK’s local distributor Zero One Technology’s professional advice and support, 48 VIVOTEK network cameras were chosen for the project.

The two major reasons that Sanyu Elementary School go with VIVOTEK were: First, VIVOTEK is a leading brand in Taiwan. Second, VIVOTEK provides quality solutions, which have been also well recognized by other schools.

Unparalleled Visibility, Seamless Monitoring 48 network cameras have been installed in hallways, stairways, and around sports grounds, creating a seamless shield of protection for children wherever they are on campus. Hallways and stairways, which are semi-outdoor areas, are places with high contrast lighting conditions. Capturing fine details while maintaining superb image quality can be challenging under such circumstances, only cameras with excellent image processing capability are adequate. VIVOTEK’s IP8332-C, a 1MP bullet-style network camera, features a removable IR-cut filter and IR illuminators, effective up to 15M. This camera captures video with exceptional image quality and resolution around the clock. As for harsh outdoor environments, the IP8332-C is encased in weatherproof casing to withstand rain and dust, ensuring stable operation and monitoring under any weather condition. The IP8332-C is also an ideal option for monitoring hallways and stairways.

Apart from the indoors, children have physical education classes and play around outside on the sports grounds. However, monitoring this area can be challenging considering the openness of the premises.

Designed with WDR Pro technology and a removable IRcut filter, the camera is able to deliver unparalleled visibility day and night, clearly capturing every move on the ground. VIVOTEK’s IP8130, a 1MP small-sized and elegant designed cube network camera, was installed in the security office at the school entrance.

Any activity around the security office, such as intrusion or vandalism, can be monitored, protecting not only the security guard staff, but also school children. With a supporting smart phone application, VIVOTEK’s iViewer, security guards can access live video off-site in real time through iPhone or Android platforms.

VIVOTEK is the Best Choice for Cementing Campus Security Kelly Huang , Director of General Affairs at Sanyu Elementary School stated: “Ever since the establishment of Sanyu Elementary School 20 years ago, our top priorities have been the children’s safety, positive growth and excellent scholarship. The school has put great effort into making the environment safer and friendlier. After VIVOTEK’s cameras were installed, our surveillance quality improved significantly. The clarity and fine

details in the footage delivered by VIVOTEK network cameras have exceeded our expectation. We are convinced that VIVOTEK is the best choice for campus security.”

William Ku, Vice President of VIVOTEK’s International Business Division, stated: “Campus safety always needs to be stressed.

Providing our children with a safe and enjoyable learning space ensures sound development. In recent years there have been several devastating attacks on schools around the world.

There have been heartbreaking tragedies and innocent children have suffered, there have been incidents in the U.S, China and South America.

Sometimes attacks are unpredictable, but precautionary measures, like a comprehensive security mechanism with advanced surveillance capacity, can minimize the possibility of tragedies and irreversible loss.”

Also how would Dräger Safety In India be different from its presence in India Earlier.

Dräger is an international leader in the fields of medical & safety technology that has been active in India since 1946. In the beginning, Dräger had been in a joint venture collaboration which continued for around 56 years.

However, mapping & addressing

66 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

India’s specific safety market needs with Dräger’s expertise, Dräger Germany established its independent and fully owned subsidiary in India (Dräger Safety India Pvt. Ltd.) in 2013.

Today, Dräger is a trusted brand in the Indian market, with a strong presence in markets like Fire and Safety, Mining, Petrochemical and Heavy metal. Through its continuous efforts, Dräger has reached out and built a strong connect with the customers last but not least with its after sales service. With Dräger‘s legacy and industry expertise, the company in its new ‘avtaar‘, is all set to implement a value creation exercise for its valued customers which moves from providing safety products to creating application based solutions.

Talking about milestones, Dräger has a long history that goes back to the time when Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first mountaineers to have conquered Mount Everest, used Dräger’s breathing apparatus as a part of their tool kit to achieve this feat. Dräger set several milestones in the Indian safety industry. Our foray into mining for example helped us achieve one of the key positions of providing support for rescuing miners during rescue services for several years.

Q. Can you elaborate more about the product portfolio & its applications?

Dräger develops ‘Technology For Life‘ – this is our guiding philosophy. We believe in protecting, supporting and saving people‘s lives. In industries like Firefighting, Oil & Gas, Mining, Heavy Metals & Petrochemical, workers are constantly exposed to hazardous, accidental and life endangering situations. These challenges require that workers are provided with quality

safety equipment.

We manufacture products like breathing apparatus, gas detectors, escape respirators, firefighting helmets to name a few, that are based on these technology platforms.

The application of these products is varied and wide but they are all designed with an understanding that human life is of prime importance.

Our commitment to quality goes well beyond statutory requirements. Our products are designed and manufactured to live up to the most rigorous standards in the industry – our own.

Further information can be accessed through our website – http:// www.draeger.com/sites/en_in/ Pages/default.aspx

Q. Which are the some of your pioneering products that you introduced in the market recently or are there any plans to launch new products?

Dräger’s breathing apparatus Sets, are reknown in the market, not only in India but also globally. Dräger has been manufacturing its advanced breathing apparatus including the CFK cylinders for more than a decade. This has been our pioneering product in the Safety Division. We lay immense emphasis on R&D and continuous innovation. The feedback that we receive from the industry propels us to innovate products that meet and supersede customer expectations.

One such result was the launch of an emergency escape mask (Parat Mask) which is uniquely designed to be an escape tool during fire emergencies. Likewise, we introduced a communication system to be used in tandem with our breathing apparatus. We also offer an upgrade module for our customers to upscale their breathing apparatus, keeping it in sync with the latest communication technology and more ergonomically designed back plates. It is an ongoing & elaborate process & we intend to

www.ind-safety.com

launch innovative products on a regular basis.

Q. How do you foresee “India” as a potential market, what are the prospects?

The safety industry in India is growing at a fast pace. The concept of safety has been embraced openly now with the large industrial developments & safety norms being part of the corporate mandate. The awareness towards safety is taking advanced steps now.

People are more willing to shift from using nonconformance products to conformance products (non specified products to using specified products).

And also to products that meet high specifications and comfort requirements. Overall, it’s a good sign in terms of people being more approachable and receptive towards safety.

In fact, in most organizations, safety is high priority and the management team is often part of the safety team. Providing high quality safety products and solutions therefore is a minimum expectation that customers have from a safety product supplier.

“ Matrix solutions are packed with more productivity & applications” Q. In your opinion, what is the state of security industry in India and what is the trend you see in the space?

Mr. Fakhri Ribinwala - Director, Creative Communication, Dahod

So far the Indian Security industry looks to be still at a nascent stage.

Though opportunities are large as Enterprises, Government, and Consumers are becoming more aware about the need of securing their premises, institutions and family, yet consumer’s choice for the brand is not upto the mark. Consumers lack the knowledge of quality products and often make wrong choices by purchasing products which are cheap and low on quality.

The unorganized market is still at large and quality awareness is less.

Having said, there is silver lining in the sky as now day’s people do ask for complete specifications and reliability of brands. In 2 to 3 years we would see a drastic change in terms of buying pattern where in more and more consumers would ask for full proof solutions rather than just going for economic products.

Iraqi Security Industry Rebounds with Hikvision Solutions

O

bviously, Iraq has gone through a great deal of upheaval in its recent history. Where much of its infrastructure was damaged by the first Gulf War in the early 90s, 2003’s second Gulf War had a far more crippling effect.

Ahmed Shakir, CEO at the Iraqibased security integrator Khairat Annabaa, explained: “After 2003, the private security industry was dealt a variety of problems; however the lack of IT professionals really affected our ability to provide modern solutions & modern security for our businesses.”

However, with a decade’s worth of hard work and dedication, both Iraq, and its businesses, are starting to bounce back. Mr. Shakir noted that the private security sector is beginning to thrive and Hikvision products are a growing presence in this revival.

Professional Security For over 20 years, many private Iraqi businesses relied on an armed guard for security purposes. While this does provide a basic level of security, it also has a great many drawbacks and shortcomings. A guard is far from a comprehensive solution. However, with the revival of professional solutions, its benefits have extended beyond solely better protection for a particular business. Khairat Annabaa’s fuel storage distribution center project in Iraq’s Amarah City illustrates this point.

Utilizing Hikvision’s DS-2DF1716 IR Network Speed Dome Camera, DS-2CD8254-EIS Network Bullet

72 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Camera, DS-2CD2012-I Network Bullet Camera, DS- 1100KI Keyboard, and DS-9616NI-SH NVR, this Amarah City solution not only provided an upgrade over guards, but also: • Help Build Security Infrastructure • Improve Overall Security • Promote Tourism

Building Security Infrastructure Khairat Annabaa was initially an IT company. Now, through the improvement in both Iraqi infrastructure and economy, the time was ripe for Khairat Annabaa to use its IT knowhow and move into the security industry. Mr. Shakir noted, “The emergence of better Internet capacity, namely WiFi, has provided a great opportunity in the security industry for us.”

Specifically, WiFi has greatly lowered the cost for solutions. In this fuel distribution center project, Hikvision’s DS-2DF1-716 IR Network Speed Dome Cameras are placed on exterior towers to view the adjacent road; and utilizing its 30x optical zoom and 80m IR range functions, the license plates on cars entering the facility.

Additionally, the DS-2CD8254EIS and DS-2CD2012-I Network Bullet Cameras are placed at specific fixed locations - such as critical areas such the primary fuel storage area - and along the borders to provide broader perimeter security. Both models can be as close as 100 meters or as far away as 4 kilometers from Hikvision’s DS-9616NI-SH NVR. For both camera models, WiFi makes this solution economically viable and provides the ability for managers and security personnel to access these cameras in their own offices; thereby providing an easier, cheaper, and more efficient solution. Additionally, Hikvision’s DS- 1100KI Keyboard benefits by allowing 255 cameras to

be used by 1 keyboard, and the ability to automatically utilize the cameras’ zoom function on this keyboard.

Improving Overall Security & Terrorism Concerns This fuel depot represents an important link in the overall Iraqi fuel supply chain. As a vital component to the economy, this site requires a suitable solution to the importance it holds.

Located on the main road between Amarah and Basurah, and near a logistically-important bridge for this road, this location is of obvious importance. However, the special nature of this specific site brings additional concern. Not only are important roads, bridges, and this fuel depot at this location, but also a thriving community with homes and an elementary school.

By utilizing WiFi to inexpensively link Hikvision cameras to Hikvision’s DS-9616NI-SH NVR and managerial / security offices across great distances, this solution also provides improved overall security for the community at large. Concurrently, this solution has “greatly reduced issues of terrorism.

Now, with these Hikvision cameras monitoring not only the station, but the surrounding area, the community is much safer.

This applies to common crime, but also to possible terrorism issues.

Earlier, without cameras and WiFi, there wasn’t a deterrent. Now, with these cameras and 8 hard disks of NVR hard-drive storage to record incidents, we can provide proactive safety measures,” explained Mr. Shakir.

With Hikvision and Khairat Annabaa’s IT abilities, Amarah City’s fuel storage distribution center gained more than a simple solution. It gained a solution that provides protection and civic stability.

Performance of Intumiscent Coatings on Indian Structural Steel Dr. Jayanta K. Saha , Dy General Manager (Tech)

Dr. Jayanta K. Saha Is with Institute for Steel Development & Growth, Kolkata as Deputy General Manager (Tech) and is also associated with BIS Quality certification of steel products and is a trainer for continuous professional development programmme for corporate houses.

Introduction The intention of fireproofing a structure is to save lives,protect the building from structural failure, allow safe evacuation and provide safe access for fire-fighters. The human and economic costs of fire damage can be significantly reduced, if not eliminated, by the use of an appropriate protection system. Fire regulations followed in India are based on National Building Codes and other relevant standards.

Passive fire protection in India is in

74 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

developing stage, which is concentrated on the load bearing structures like beams and columns by providing adequate fire resistance of elements.

Fire resistance is expressed in period of time. Regulations use this time periods to categories fire resistance depending on the size and usage of a building. The required time does not directly reflect the duration of a real fire or the time required for occupants to escape. It is, however, a measure of the required endurance of structural elements under standard test conditions. Figure 1 shows the ways and means to control fire and structural stability is highlighted due to its importance.

All commonly used structural materials lose some of their strength when exposed to fire. Concrete cracks, spalls and steel starts to lose its load bearing capacity as it loses about 75% of its strength at 600°C. Structural steel components like girders, beams etc need to be protected so that its load-bearing ability is not reduced. Concrete suffer irreversible loss in strength once these materials are heated to temperatures exceeding 300°C.The compressive strength also continues to drop even during the cooling stages of fire.

Structural steel regains its strength when it cools back to ambient temperature from 600°C. For structural steel the yield strength reduces to about 60% at 400°C and more increase in temperature reduces the strength further with attaining of yield point at around 538°C. Hence the roles of structural fire protection are to a) provide sufficient time for occupants to reach an area of safety, b) support the fire separations necessary to control the overall size of the fire,c) reduce potential damage to the adjacent properties.

Protection Need Almost all buildings incorporate some fire safety measures. In the event of a fire, structures are required to maintain their stability for a reasonable period of time to enable occupants to evacuate and to provide safety to attending fire-fighters. This is defined as fire resistance rating which is the ability of a building element to perform its function as a barrier or structural component for a specified time during the course of a fire. It is often specified in combination with a critical steel temperature as set by a qualified engineer. Durations may vary with legislation around the world, but

Figure 2: Strength Reduction Factors for Carbon Steel at Elevated Temperatures typical fire ratings may be 60, 90,120 minutes. The basis for the rating is typically specified in accordance with design standards and guidance documents. These documents vary in nature around the world, but fire resistance requirements are strongly related to the risk of fire (occupancy use), the height of the structure and may be associated with provision of a suppression system. Within India, fire resistance ratings are set in accordance with Indian Standards and range up to 120 minutes for typical structures in the built environment.

Structural steel reduces in strength and stiffness with increased temperature, as shown in Figure 2. This

can have a detrimental effect on the stability of a structure. Unprotected steel will heat very rapidly in a fire and can lose its load carrying capacity within fewminutes.The aim of fire protection is to insulate the steel and keep it relatively cool for the required fire resistance rating, such that it can maintain its load carrying capacity.

By ensuring the structural stability in a fire, people within the building can evacuate safely and attending fire fighters can have assurance that they can tackle the blaze without unexpected collapse. Although life safety is the primary goal of fire protection measures, there is also a secondary benefit in terms of asset or property protection. If appropriate structural fire protection is provided in a building then any required repair can be minimised and business continuity can be enhanced. The response of a steel structure in a fire is a function of the maximum temperature attained the degree to which it is loaded.

Fire Types Fire can be classified generally into three types. The fire protection industries have developed three standard fire curves for the following fire types: a) Cellulosic fires: These are fuelled by combustibles such as wood, paper and textiles. They are typically associated with commercial infrastructure, b) Hydrocarbon fires: These are fuelled by oil and gas and have a very rapid heat rise. They can be extremely turbulent as they entrain oxygen to maintain combustion, c) Jet fires: These are hydrocarbon fuelled fires expelled from an orifice under high

Fig 3:Fire Developments Stages

pressure. They can have high erosive forces in addition to high heat fluxes.

Any fire initiates with the presence of three elements i.e. heat, fuel and air. A fire starts when a source of heat is brought into contact with something inflammable. Once a fire has started, extra heat is produced by the first item and this can cause other items to burn.

Indoor fires grow more quickly than fires in the open. The fire development depends on the quantity and density of combustible materials.

As the fire gets bigger, a third factor becomes important that is the amount of air available. The average temperature would reach about 500째C and may quickly attain levels to 8001200째C through different phases like incipient, growth, fully developed and decay as shown in Figure 3.

Major Protection Forms A wide variety of products are available to protect structural steelwork. They are divided into six main categories as given in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Major Fire Protection Forms

Passive Fire Protection It is a proactive approach considered at the design stage, aimed to provide inbuilt fire resistance on steel elements. Construction materials have some resistance to fire which may be enhanced through additional materials or components. They are called passive as precaution is taken beforehand and since these do not require any special command signal to operate.The basis of passive protection is the construction of structure in compartmentalised form and concerns with building structures integrity, compartmentation and the building

envelope. This consists of fire resistant insulating media boards and coatings which is an effective means of fire protection than placing active fire protection system. The high temperatures induced in a building by the outbreak of a fire affect all construction materials, such that their strength and stiffness is reduced as the temperature increases. The performance of these fire protection materials is tested and assessed in accordance to standards.

Intumescent Coating: Intumescent coatings are similar in appearance to conventional paints and most intumescent coatings are applied off site to aid the construction programme.Intumescent is a process in which, the solid coating is converted into highly viscous liquid resulting endothermic reactions under the fire.

It forms a char, which insulates steel from yielding. This char formation restricts the rate of temperature increase of the steel & prolongs its load bearing capacity. This is delaying the collapse of the building/ structure for a given period of time required fire protection. The advantages of these coatings over the other forms of protection are relative ease of application and durability, takes little space, low protection weight, applied during construction. Intumescent coatings are of three types like single part solvent based, single part water based and two parts epoxy based (with or without solvent).

Codes & Standards: In general, the standards do not specifically call for fire protection of individual structural elements, but they do imply that the building should remain stable for the fire resistance period. The stability of the structure acts primarily to protect life safety in terms of people to evacuate safely and for attending fire-fighters. To a lesser extent it may also have the requirement to play a role in terms of property or asset protection. Generally it is the load-bearing elements of structure

TECH UPDATE

(like beams, girders and columns) that are protected. The performance criteria of a structural member should be defined not only by its fire resistance period, but also by its maximum allowable temperature at that period to maintain stability, which is termed the limiting temperature.

Assessment of Materials Methods of assessing the performance of fire protection materials have been developed which enable the thickness of protection for a wide range of situations to be predicted. The procedure is in two parts. Firstly, a carefully designed programme of fire tests is carried out on both loaded and unloaded specimens and, secondly, a mathematical procedure is applied to the results of the tests which enable predictions of required thickness to be made. These programmes of tests are designed to determine both the insulation characteristics of a fire protection material and its physical performance under fire conditions for arrange of steel sizes (in terms of Section Factor, protection thicknesses and fire resistance periods). They generate the maximum amount of data from a minimum number of tests.

Specialist fire engineers may reduce fire resistance time from 120 min based on a study of the anticipated fire severity risk in a building considering (fire load), room geometry, ventilation conditions and the presence of a suppression system. In the majority of cases it will also involve a structural analysis. This will be based on a structural engineering assessment to verify that adequate redundancy is within the structure to enable the distribution of forces to the stronger protected members to ensure that collapse does not occur in the event of a fire.

The basis for Fire rating is specified in accordance with design standards and guidance documents.

These documents vary in nature around the world, but fire resistance requirements are strongly related

to the risk of fire (occupancy use), the height of the structure and may be associated with provision of a suppression system. It is critical to understand the correct legislative requirements for a project.

An architect stipulates the fire resistance period in accordance with the building codes or regulations that prevail where the building is to be constructed. Number of national international fire safety codes and guidance documents in common use are: National Fire Protection Association,Indian Codes. IS 1641, 1642, 1643, NationalBuilding Code 5:2005, IS 800: 2007 etc.,International Building Code ,Code of practice in Fire Safety Design : 2008

Validation of Fire Test Data INSDAG, as a part of their promotion of steel as construction material has requested M/S Akzo Nobel Coatings India Pvt. Ltd. to evaluate performance of Interchar brand Passive fire proofing Intumescent coatings on few Indian steel sections. This is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the material to achieve fire resistance ratings.

These are typically applied using airless spray equipment.

Test Set up:The Indian construction market aligns well with the UK. As such, fire protection materials are required to be tested in accordance with BS 476: (Fire Testing of Building Materials and Structures) part 20 &21, specifically, for use on load-bearing elements of construction, the following

Figure 5: Steel Sections before & after Application of Coating

standards are adopted: As per BS 476 a range of representative specimens are tested when exposed to heat under controlled conditions in a furnace. The heating regime is defined as a rate of temperature rise with respect to time and is often referred to as a cellulosic or standard fire curve. Furnace temperature during BS 476 fire test duration is dependent on fire resistance requirements and is intended to be representative of a post-flashover fire fuelled by typical materials found in commercial infrastructure such as wood, paper and textiles.

Loaded beams are tested horizontally, with passive protection applied to three sides and with the top flange directly in contact with concrete floor slab. Columns are tested vertically, with the passive protection applied to all sides. This leads to the terms 3-sided and 4-sided exposure when dealing with fire protection to steelwork. Figure 5 showed floor furnace with the capability to test loaded beams, steel sections before & after application of an intumescent Coating after coating respectively.

In BS 476 the performance of load-bearing steel beams and columns is judged against the criteria of load-bearing capacity which is related to the ability of the element to remain in place without excessive deformation.To achieve this, a thickness of fire protection material is applied to maintain steel sections below specified limiting steel temperatures. Fire protection material thickness is specified to ensure that a limiting steel temperature 550°C for columns, and 620°C for beams (supporting concrete floors), is not exceeded for a given period of fire resistance.

To define the limiting steel temperature for different member types for a range of load ratios, tables are defined in BS 5950-8 and EN 19931-2. In the absence of an appraisal of a member’s limiting temperature, for passive fire protection BS 476 has

adopted limiting steel temperatures as per:550°C for typical columns in compression ,620°C for non-composite beams supporting concrete slabs ,620°C for composite slabs,520°C for hollow sections While the use of generic limiting steel temperatures in the absence of a structural assessment may in the majority of cases be conservative.

This may lead to an over-application of passive fire protection. It is also acknowledged that in some cases they may not always be conservative. Given that the methodologies exist in the design codes to undertake a structural assessment to determine the limiting temperature, qualified engineers should evaluate steel temperatures and work closely with passive fire protection manufacturers to realise the benefits it can bring.

Estimation of Coating Systems Thin film fire protections coating systems are primarily employed and calculated as per the rating required by the Structural consultant. They are available in steps of 0.5 hour starting from 30 minutes. Based on the rating required, the paint thicknesses are calculated as per standard tables available to which the product has been tested and certified. In general the testing has done by Warrington Fire (now Exova) according to BS 476 Pt 20-22 which is accepted as a standard for cellulosic fire protection. The other reputed agency is BRE. Felling fire test lab of M/s Akzo Nobel coating Ltd. the test results obtained is verified and certified by third party certifying agencies like CERTIFIRE or BRE.Steps are required to follow in arriving at the recommended dry film thicknesses (dft) for intumsecentcoatings: • Compute perimeter exposed in the event of a fire. For beam will be 3 sided exposed (concrete slab) on top and a column is 4 sided exposed as it is stand alone. This is designated by Hp. • Compute the cross sectional area

• Check dry film thickness for the corresponding Hp/A from table for columns or for temperature of 5500C or 6200C (for columns or beams). Always the next higher Hp/A should be considered.

• If the values of Hp/A is not available then the product cannot protect the steel sections. It is not allowed to extrapolate or interpolate values and change the product or manufacturer. Tables are not available or appropriate documentation certifying the reference table is absent the product is uncertified. Usage of any uncertified tables is dangerous as the dry film thickness (dft) is not tested.

• Consideration of failing temperatures other than 5500Cor 6200C for columns and beams respectively should only be adopted in strict consultation with the fire engineers and structural consultant who have assessed the design. The adoption of the same should be certified by the certifying agency.

• Once dry film thickness is calculated, the volume of paint can be arrived at after deriving the practical coverage allowing for appropriate loss factors.

Entire Intumsecent Protection scheme should be taken from a single manufacture to avoid compatible issues between different paints.

subject to extensive independent fire testing in accordance with a number of international fire test standards, including BS 476. These tests include product evaluation on unloaded beams, columns and hollow sections and on loaded members to test adhesion of the product. Whereas these fire tests on Indian steel sections are all on unloaded members. The thermal properties of steel (density, specific heat and thermal conductivity) are independent of steel strength and therefore they do not have a direct effect on the intumescent coating performance.

Coating Systems:The selected steel sections were all protected using International Paint’s Interchar intumescent coating range. Interchar products include single component, thin-film solvent-borne or waterborne acrylic coatings. They are all designed to provide varying levels of fire protection performance on structural steelwork to various fire resistance periods and different limiting steel temperatures. Interchar coatings are suitable for either off-site application in the steel fabrication shop or for on-site application for existing buildings or those under construction. The products characteristics are outlined in Table 1.

Table 2 Structural Sections and Parameters used in Test film thickness of intumescent. To demonstrate consistency of the intumescent products, two identical samples (A&B) for each structural section were tested. Limiting steel temperature of 490°C used in this instance as this is the maximum temperature tested against hollow sections for Interchar 963.Similarly limiting temperature of 5500C & 6200C are taken for universal columns & beams respectively. Independently assessed intumescent coating product certificates are available.

Section factor refers to the ratio of the heated steel perimeter (Hp) to the cross sectional surface area (A) with units of m-1. This represents the rate of increase in temperature of a steel section. Members with low section factors will heat more slowly and therefore require a relatively reduced thickness of fire protection. To understanding the Indian steel sections used in the testing, Table 3 shows approximate equivalent American and European sections, in terms of section factor, not load bearing capacity.

Table 4: Results of Fire Testing of Indian Steel Sections

Summary For all intumescent coatings tested on their respective steel sections, it was possible to achieve the required fire resistance rating. The applied thickness of intumescent paint was specified in accordance with published data.Although BS 476 Part 21 specifically tests UK structural steel sections, dry film thicknesses tested and assessed to the standard have always been applicable on projects in India. This is on the basis that UK steel sections can be considered as a representative steel section for the purposes of fire testing.

The testing outlined above has demonstrated that International Paint’s Interchar products tested in

84 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

accordance with BS 476 can be used with confidence on Indian structural steel sections. International Paint supply intumescent fire protection to countries all around the world, including India.

Their Interchar intumescent coating range can be applied to steel internal to a building or in external environments.

Furthermore it has demonstrated through independently witnessed fire tests that intumescent coatings tested in accordance with BS 476 Parts 20 and 21 are directly applicable to Indian structural steel sections. This testing can provide confidence to architects and engineers who are involved in the specification of fire protection in India.

f we compare the size of chemical industry, global chemical industry is about US$ 3 tn. Comparatively, India is a relatively small player as Indian industry is worth only around US$ 60 bn.

The petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and the specialty chemical segment of the Indian chemical Industry have a considerable presence in the global chemical industry. India also has a major presence in agrochemicals.

The major challenge that the chemical industry faces today is the perception that it affects the environment. The industry is viewed with a high degree of apprehension on the pollution and sustainability fronts. Products from chemical industry have dramatically altered the quality of life world over and have contributed significantly to our dayto-day requirements. However, the perception is changing slowly and this image will also change for the better in the near future.

In India, environmental rules and regulations are very stringent as compared to other developing countries and some of the developed countries. Furthermore, even though many rules like identification, notification and development of landfill sites, were prescribed in the year 1989 under The Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, the state governments are still unable to identify, notify and develop the required sites even today. However, an amendment enacted in the year 2000, placed the responsibility on industry associations, as well as the government.

One of the major problems related to the industrial growth and Pollution Prevention is the activism of

several NGOs. Public opinion and various public interest litigation against pollution has lead to greater awareness amongst the industrialists, authorities and communities. Many of the measures to be adopted for solving environmental problems should be based on the experience already gained by the developed countries.

Presently, there is little institutional impetus provided for the adoption of “cleaner technologies” and

3MTM AircareTM Filtration Unit ACU-01 Wall Mounted “waste minimization” techniques.

Process technologies, however, have their own economic returns that mitigate the need for extensive regulatory interference.

In addition, industries that are leaders in the environmental front do not currently receive any specific advantages. No special consideration is given even for processing their application for consents / authorizations.

Consequently, there is no real driving force for the industries to adopt cleaner technologies and implementation

The National State of the Environment (SoE) Report of India 2001 and the National Environment Policy (NEP) 2006 both have focus on some particular areas. The NEP 2006 focuses on policy issues such as • conservation of critical environmental resources • intra-generational equity - securing livelihood for the poor • integration of environmental concerns in economic and social development • efficiency in environmental resource use • environmental governance • enhancement of resources for environmental conservation.

The SoE 2001 in turn has got the focus on the current state of the environment. The report identified the five priority key issues for India: • land degradation • biodiversity • air pollution control with special reference to vehicular pollution in cities • management of fresh water resources • hazardous waste management.

Apart from the official focus areas, there are signals which are speaking for the change in the attitudes towards the environment. As stated before, the environmental awareness is still very low. Awareness creating campaigns, however, have become rather popular

and their visibility has increased over the past years.

Legislation alone does not guarantee sustainable development.

The situation is extremely tricky in the country like India, where implementation is very difficult. Rules, however, can work as a driver towards conservation: for instance those that are inbuilt in the permission system, force industries to take environmental issues into consideration.

This article discusses some of the major Health & Safety problems associated with this industry and its solutions offered by 3M from the PPEs point of view.

1. What is the problem?

Chemicals used, stored and handled in the Chemical Industry are often treated in a way that exposes employees, others and the environment to risks.

For example: • Cleaning agents or organic solvents such as white spirit alcohols, etc can be readily inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin.

Excessive exposure to such agents can cause headaches, nausea, lack in concentration, intoxication, tiredness and damage to the central nervous system. Solvents can also de-fat the skin and cause dermatitis.

• A large number of cleaning agents, blanket wash, fountain solution, alcohols, etching solutions etc are highly flammable. Therefore, there is a risk of fire or explosion if flammable liquids are not stored and handled in an appropriate manner.

the capacity to pose an immediate risk to life, property or the environment via their flammable, explosive or reactive nature. Hazardous substances can cause harm to a person’s health if it gets into the body. The most common routes of exposure being through inhalation or skin absorption which can lead to immediate or long-term health effects.

3. What can you do to manage the risks in your workplace?

• Know exactly what chemicals are used in your workplace by creating a register – (include material safety data sheets (MSDS) and risk assessment results in the register) • Only use dangerous goods approved containers for decanted chemicals and label containers with the correct name and risk and safety phrases (eg do not use food or drink containers) • Put good housekeeping and regular inspection practices in place, such as putting chemicals away when not in use, immediately clean up spills etc • Keep lids on solvents to reduce wastage and evaporative emissions

2. What are the risks?

• There any many chemicals used in the industry. Many of these chemicals are classed as dangerous goods as well as them being hazardous substances. Dangerous goods are substances or articles that have

equipment throughout the workplace • Have an emergency plan in place and practice what to do in an emergency.

It stands as a duty for the employers concerning the provision and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at work and to ensure that Personal Protective Equipment is adequately supplied and used correctly at work wherever there are risks to safety and health that cannot be controlled in any other ways.

Personal Protective Equipment should always be considered a last resort. When other precautions fail to reduce the risk of injury, PPE comes into picture. An employer’s duty is to combat the risk at source if possible and the first priority being engineering solutions such as provision of guards on machinery which would help in improving health and safety.

On 1st January 1993, the main legislation that governs Personal Protective Equipment called Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 came into force. PPE as defined in the Regulations states “all equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work which protects him against one or more risks to his health and safety”. Therefore, PPE includes:• Gloves

www.ind-safety.com

Eye protection High visibility clothing Safety Helmet Safety footwear Safety harnesses Respirators

All the equipments are of equal importance for the protection of the employee at their job site.

The nature of job decides the allocation of a PPE. Its use starts with the assessment of all different hazards in the workplace. Further assessment should be done to ascertain which types of PPE are suitable to protect against the hazards linked to each job. To add to this, an employer must also see whether the supplied PPE is compatible with each other.

For example, a particular type of respirator may make it difficult to get eye protection or ear protection to fit properly. More the pieces of PPE needed by an individual the more the potential problems. Usage of PPE protects different parts of the body from various hazards. Details as mentioned below: Eyes: Hazards - Chemical or Metal splash, Radiation, Projectiles, Debris, Gas and Vapour.

PPE Solutions are Safety Glasses or Goggles, Face Shields, Visors.

Head: Hazards - Impact from falling or flying objects or debris, Risk of head bumping, Hair entanglement.

PPE Solutions are a range of Safety Helmets and Bump Caps.

Lungs/breathing: Hazards - Dust, Gas, Oxygen, Vapour, Deficient atmospheres.

PPE Solutions are Respirator or Disposable filtering face piece, Half or full face Respirators, Breathing apparatus, Air fed helmets.

Body: Hazards - Chemical or metal splash, Temperature extremes, Contaminated dust, Adverse weather, Spray from pressure leaks or Spray guns, Impact or penetration, Excessive wear or entanglement of own clothing.

PPE Solutions are Boiler suits, Conventional or disposable overalls, High visibility clothing, Specialist protective clothing, Chain mail aprons.

Hands and Arms: Hazards - Chemicals, Abrasion, Temperature extremes, Electric shock, Cuts and punctures, Impact, Skin infection, Disease or contamination.

PPE Solutions -Gloves, Mitts, Gauntlets, Wrist cuffs, Armlets.

Feet and Legs: Hazards - Abrasion, Wet or cold weather, Electrostatic build-up, Slipping, Cuts and punctures, Metal and chemical splash, Falling objects.

PPE Solutions - Gaiters, Safety Boots and Shoes with protective toe caps and penetration resistant soles, Leggings, Spats.

Thus, an adequately equipped work place confirms the safety and health of the employee. Together with the installation of the PPE; its maintenance also plays a vital part.

The PPE should be well maintained and properly stored while not in use.

It should be kept clean and in good repair. Manufacturer’s maintenance schedule should be followed regularly.

Simple maintenance can be done by the trained wearer but incase of complicated repairs, it should always be carried out by a specialist.

Finally, Personal Protection using Personal Protection Equipments (PPE) at work place is an indispensable issue that helps both the employer and the employee to stay and work in a healthy and safe environment.

Hikvision overcomes Turkish Landscape to Secure Türk Telekom Infrastructure

T

ürk Telekom Group is Turkey’s world-class, integrated telecommunication and technology services leader that offers its Turkish customers a complete range of fixed line, mobile, data, and internet services.

Türk Telekom, as well, is Turkey’s only integrated telecommunications service provider that owns the nation’s conglomerate of leading regional communication and technology companies. However, impressive as this is, with Turkey’s various topographical challenges, the issue of successfully overcoming equally impressive logistical hurdles was paramount.

In this vein, Türk Telekom enlisted the services of security solution installer Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. to provide security for the 240 Türk Telekom rural wireless cellular sites throughout the country.

Turkey’s Geographical Challenges As earlier noted, these 240 sites were not solely located in metropolitan areas such as the nation’s capital of Ankara or the commerce center that is Istanbul. Instead, many of these locations were scattered within scarcely populated and difficult-toreach spots (including, but limited to, high in the mountains).

As many of these sites are unmanned, security for this infrastructure was a natural concern. These centers, called “rural control rooms” serve to connect the cities to the mountains and vice-versa through

90 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

cellular means. Additionally, with Turkey’s propensity for earthquakes, cellular communication has taken on a higher national priority. In fact, most communication from rural mountain areas to major metropolitan centers is now primarily achieved through cellular means.

The Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş.

Solution Since the dynamics of this project were based on cellular technology, “the decision was made to use a hybrid solution for this particular large-scale project,” noted Erdoğan Tekin, Technical Manager at Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. After careful analysis of the specific demands this solution required, Mr. Tekin chose a combination of following Hikvision products.

The first is DS-9016HFI-S Embedded Hybrid DVR. The reality that Türk Telekom is a very large, longstanding company denoted that there are both analog and IP cameras in various capacities throughout Turkey.

Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. knew the DS9016HFI-S worked exceedingly well with both types.

The second Hikvision tool is the DS-2CC1182P-A 600 TVL Box Camera. Mr. Tekin explained, “The DS-2CC1182P-A’s durability was very, very important for this project. Due to the fact that many of these sites were in the mountains, this presented a dual problem. The first was the weather environment - it has massive shifts in extreme climate, including heat, wind, and bitter cold. The second was the inaccessibility of these sites. If a camera broke down, there really is not a realistic way to get a repair technician up there. Due to both concerns, the DS-2CC1182P-A’s IP66 rating and Hikvision’s reputation for quality and durability were extremely important.”

The TV0309D-IR Lens was the third piece to this solution.

Interestingly, before Kent Güvenlik Sistemleri A.Ş. chose this model, the company tested many other brands.

After this testing, they found that no other brand offered the same high results: namely the nighttime LED performance was nowhere near as clear, and the TV0309D-IR resulted in much sharper IR images.

Additionally, as with the DS-2CC1182P-A 600 TVL Box Camera, since both are located in rural mountaintop areas, the quality of these DVRs is vital to ensure that the necessary images are sent to security personnel in Ankara, and their Ankara-based PCs to monitor these stations. The same requirement holds true with the DS9016HFI-S’s large 8 HDD memory. “In wintertime, it is virtually impossible to arrive at these sites, regardless of circumstance,” added Mr. Tekin.

The final piece of this solution puzzle is iVMS-4200 Client Software.

This software allows the connection of all Hikvision hardware. In this Turkish case, all 240 sites - and their Hikvision hardware - are connected through managers’ PCs. Mr Tekin elaborated, “Every major city in Turkey is using this client software. In this fashion, Ankara is connected to each of these cities and to each of these 240 rural sites through this convenient software program.”

Through this combination of Hikvision technology and versatility, even Turkey’s formable mountains proved little match. And through this combination, the Türk Telekom Group’s rural sites are secure.

4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless, the stage of broadband mobile communications that will supersede the third generation (3G). 4th generation (4G) broadband wireless greatly increases the speed with which digital data is sent and received. 4th Generation Wireless Technology (4G) is the first technology designed from the ground up for data and is perfect to meet the rapidly growing demand for mobile access driven by the explosion of wireless enabled devices.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) specifies that a 4G network requires a mobile device to be able to exchange data at 100 Mbit/sec.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the chief indicators that a service can be legitimately marketed as being 4G. OFDM is a type of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies. This is more efficient than TDMA, which divides channels into time slots and has multiple users take turns transmitting bursts or CDMA, which simultaneously transmits multiple signals on the same channel.

When fully implemented, 4G is expected to enable simultaneous connections to multiple high-speed networks and will provide seamless handoffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throughout a geographical area.

Coverage enhancement technologies are being developed to address the needs of mobile users in homes, public buildings and offices, which will free up network resources for mobile users

who are roaming or who are in more remote service areas.

The increased speed with which digital data is sent and received over 4G, is enabling many new applications, including quite a few with exciting security implications. The bandwidth delivered by 4G allows a security director waiting to catch a flight at Mumbai to monitor a video surveillance feed from the factory in Bangalore (or anywhere in the world) on his handheld as if he were there in person.

Enough information (data) is being sent fast enough to enable facial recognition or fingerprint matching right from a mobile phone.

Security Applications Asset monitoring from remote locations.

Even small business owners can now have the ability to quickly and easily monitor their business locations remotely using a smart phone or tablet. High-definition wireless cameras can be accessed in real-time and controlled from mobile devices. By integrating high-speed connectivity with security solutions, technology gives the small business information about

their security landscape – whether it is activated by motion detection or a continuous feed.

How many times did customers pick up that particular item on sale?

State of the Art Mobile video surveillance.

At present recorded video on an onboard device is downloaded wirelessly when the vehicle returns to the station or depot. 4 G gives the capability to wirelessly stream video from a mobile video surveillance camera back to a control centre.

This is very advantageous for a control room operator. The ability for a control room to view an incident live allows for an instantaneous assessment of the situation and more effective guidance for security personnel on the ground. This also provides a sense of security for lone workers on buses and trains. With video streaming IMS research forecasts that there will be renewed & greater emphasis on providing video surveillance on busses, trains, personnel vans and taxis.

Aid to Traffic and Crime control Typically a police department utilizes traditional methods of video surveillance to effectively fight crime and ensure the safety of residents and visitors.

However, traditional cable, DSL and fibre typically incur large initial setup fees and lead times, large monthly service charges and last mile restrictions.

Microwave systems are free of monthly fees, but the capital investment is often prohibitive. 4 G offers a more cost-effective method to transmit video from portable cameras around the city.

This offers a low-cost, remote connectivity alternative for video surveillance when compared to traditional landline and microwave.

With 4 G, video surveillance can be for operational awareness, special event management, short-term operations and criminal surveillance, all while viewing the activity remotely in real time from the Control Centre or even en route to an ‘incident’. 4G broadband wirelessly links portable cameras placed at strategic locations around the city with a central monitoring and command station.

92 | DECEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Viewing remote activity in real time Rapid deployment of CCTV for temporary events like VIP meetings or VIP movement.

Such an event requires the cameras, installed over long distances, to relay pictures back to the network control centre. Typically, for such temporary requirements the connection between cameras and control centre is achieved using fibre-optic cables strung along the roadside – often simply looped over the boundary fence posts. These are prone to damage and consequent failure. A 4 G wireless connection could simply and cost-effectively replace the traditional cabled approach, while maintaining picture quality.

Surveillance of remote, unmanned sites and assets.

Gas or oil pipelines need round the clock video surveillance. The distances and hostile terrain quite often makes it difficult to lay cables. 4G offers a cost effective solution that can be rapidly deployed.

Other applications Intelligent video also provides valuable analytical information for a business. What are people doing inside your store? Are your displays in the right place and getting noticed?

Several service providers are about to deliver wireless broadcast over 4G. True broadcast video, that is, a single stream sent to many viewers simultaneously, over 4G, is now possible. It is possible to deliver content over 4G in a cost-effective and efficient way.

Wireless CCTV manufacturers are also offering systems designed to operate on 4G networks.

Copenhagen Airport installs thermal imaging cameras FLIR Systems SR-100 cameras make the airport even safer than before.

More than 20 million passengers pass through Copenhagen each year.

With the threat of intruders, or even worse, terrorist attacks, making sure that all passengers are safe within an airport is of the utmost importance to commercial airlines and airport authorities.

But not only passengers, also personnel and valuable equipment need to be protected. FLIR Systems SR-100 thermal imaging cameras help to make Copenhagen Airport an even safer airport than before.

F

ounded in 1925, Copenhagen Airport was one of the first civil airports in the world. Copenhagen Airport is the biggest airport in Scandinavia measured not only in total number of passengers, but also in international traffic, direct long haul routes and total number of destinations. More than 20.9 million passengers passed through the airport in 2006. Centrally located in Scandinavia, with the most extensive route network and the highest population density in the region, Copenhagen Airport is the logical choice for all passengers traveling to/from Scandinavia.

Copenhagen Airport covers an area of 12.4 square kilometers and has a 30-kilometre-long perimeter fence.

Organizing appropriate surveillance for such a large area is an enormous task.

In addition to camera surveillance, the airport is also monitored by driving and walking patrols, both indoors & outdoors, around the clock. More than 700 specially trained security staff members, police officers and others, play an active role in the security set-up so that

passengers can feel safe and secure during their trip.

Monitoring the Critical part of the Security Restricted Area (CRSA) “Although we are meticulously monitoring the entire airport, we are especially concentrating on the Critical part of the Security Restricted Area (CSRA)”, explains Mr. Frank Christensen, Dept.

Head of Department of the Copenhagen Airport Security Operations Center.

“This area comprises all buildings accessible to passengers, the piers used for boarding and un-boarding the passengers, the parking area for the airplanes, ... We have 108 airplane stands so it is a huge area to monitor. Everyone going into the CSRA, needs to be thoroughly security checked before they can enter. Nothing can enter or leave the area without the Security Operations Center knowing about it.”

“One of the problems we are facing is that the CSRA borders the runways.

Airplane going from the piers to the take-off area, or airplane that have just

Also cars and people from other areas within the airport, but outside the CSRA, could enter the area. Therefore we thoroughly monitor all the entrances and exits of the CSRA with different types of sensors and with ground radar. Furthermore, all planes and airport personnel going into the area or leaving it have to notify us.

Although ground radar and sensors warn us when something is happening, we can not see what it is. Therefore, everyone and everything entering or leaving the CSRA is also followed with cameras so that we know what is happening.”

“Monitoring & following objects with a camera is easy during daytime.

But during night time we could not see anything with our daylight cameras. It is impossible to light up the entire CSRA, since we can not put lighting poles everywhere. This would obstruct the airplane traffic from and to the runways.

However, if an alarm is triggered, we want to be able to see what has caused

365 days per year.” The cameras where mounted on a standard Pan/Tilt mechanism by Praecisionsteknik, the FLIR Systems distributor for Security and Surveillance products in Denmark. “We need the cameras on a Pan/Tilt.”, Mr. Christensen elaborates. “Once an alarm, generated by the ground radar or other sensors goes off, we immediately need to be able to turn the camera to the right direction. This way we can see what has triggered the alarm & we can follow the object with the thermal imaging camera if necessary.”

Easy integration is key

Thermal imaging: the solution for seeing at night “We were extremely enthusiastic during the first demonstrations of the FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras. It became immediately clear that they would be a huge asset to our security infrastructure. We were amazed to see them produce a clear image in the darkest of nights, from unlighted areas, so that we could track and follow objects without effort. Being able to see in total darkness is great for security people.

Definitely in Scandinavia where there is not that much daylight in wintertime.”

After careful consideration, Copenhagen Airport chose to install FLIR Systems SR-100 thermal imaging cameras. “We chose for the SR-100 because they give us a great range performance.

Equipped with a 100 mm lens, they allow us to detect objects from more than 1.5 km away.”, Mr. Christensen explains.

“Another advantage is that the cameras contain an uncooled infrared detector.

This reduces downtime to an absolute minimum. We need to be sure that the cameras are working 24 hours per day,

protocol & could easily be integrated in our existing PelcoD network. In order to install them we just removed some of our normal cameras and installed the thermal imaging cameras. All together this only took us about 2 hours.”

Thermal imaging: more than expected “Now that the SR-100 thermal imaging cameras are installed, they do more than initially planned! We also look at well-lit areas with the cameras. They are not blinded by the lights in any circumstance and deliver a crisp image on which we can see the smallest of

“Although we were very enthusiastic when we saw the first demonstration of the FLIR thermal imaging cameras, one of the key elements in the decision process was the integration of the cameras in our existing security network.”, says Mr. Claus Hulstrom, Software Developer at Copenhagen Airport. “We are operating more than 200 CCTV cameras at the airport and the thermal imaging cameras needed to be installed in the same network. Just like all the other cameras we are using, the FLIR Systems thermal imagers can be operated using the PelcoD

details. Furthermore, they are a great help in difficult weather conditions like fog, where normal CCTV cameras can not see anything.”

“The cameras sometimes give us even more information. After all, they are infrared cameras that are making temperature differences visible. By e.g. looking at a car with the SR-100 cameras, we can immediately see if it has been there a long time or just arrived. A car with a hot motor generates an entirely different image from a car with a cold motor.”

“Thermal imaging has proven its value here at Copenhagen Airport. Thanks to thermal imaging, Copenhagen Airport has become even safer than it was before.”, concludes Mr. Christensen.
