Growing number of waste recycling plants enhance fire safety & remove false alarms with FAAST

s the market-leading Aspiration Smoke Detector (ASD), it’s no wonder Honeywell’s FAAST is being implemented by a growing number of recycling and waste management plants. Offering the earliest, most accurate smoke detection, class-leading filtration and system design that removes both dust-stimulated false alarms and problems arising from environmental fluctuation, FAAST provides the highest provision of safety. Despite the WISH guideline release in 2014, fire events are still highly prevalent. In fact, five fires took place in April alone this year; the Recycling Lives fire in Lancashire on 9th April; the Recycling Lives Preston fire on 10th April; the Ramsey Heights fire in Cambridgeshire on 13th April; the Mangotsfield, Bristol fire on 24th April; and the JSW Waste fire in Salford, Manchester on the 26th April. In fact, Salford experienced two devastating fires in just eight weeks. ASD technology is growing steadily in popularity; the WISH Guidelines recommend its use on page 24 of the report, helping to increase this trend. Honeywell’s FAAST system is now installed in a growing number of recycling and 6 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

waste management plants, with many more carrying out evaluations. (WISH Guidelines link: http://www.ciwm. co.uk/web/FILES/WISH/WASTE_28_ Reducing_fire_risk_at_waste_management_sites_issue_1_-_Oct_2014.pdf). Tim Checketts, Business Development Manager for Honeywell Fire Safety, comments on the need for effective fire safety in the wake of recent incidents and how firms can negate traditional detection issues, satisfy stringent insurance requirements and reduce the total cost of fire safety. “The WISH Guidelines are helping more sites implement better fire protection, but the incidents in April alone, really do highlight the extreme risks. High dust prevalence & environmental fluctuations that cause increased false alarms demand both high performance and high stability solutions. False alarms lead to disruptions - at least 30 minutes unplanned downtime and resources to investigate per event - and also increase maintenance needs. These combined aspects lead many sites to implement solutions that only meet minimum regulations. “Regulations & insurance pre-requisites are becoming more stringent, which from a safety perspective is a

good thing, but for many firms already under pressure from raised premiums, the implementation of enhanced-safety solutions may seem economically unviable. Choosing a solution like FAAST really can deliver on all levels, while also reducing the total cost of fire safety. Unlike other aspiration solutions, FAAST uses a sophisticated three-stage filtration technique, dual-optics particle analysis and intelligent algorithms that effectively distinguish smoke from dust. FAAST is able to withstand temperature and humidity variations, auto-learning its environment. Integral replaceable components minimise device failure and improve maintenance, which can be costly in hostile environments. “FAAST is ideal for any facility manager under pressure to guarantee undisrupted and safe operation. We have recently issued a free FAAST Aspiration Smoke Detection Applications Guide, with a detailed section dedicated to recycling and waste management, downloadable from the FAAST website; this provides full information on how FAAST works and why it is the premier solution for these applications.” For more information, Website: www.honeywell.com www.ind-safety.com

A CONTRA to the cold SECUMAR presents innovative immersion suits and lifejackets for the first time at INTERSCHUTZ 2015 in Hannover and at the “MMS” in Bremerhaven on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the DGzRS.

ONTRA 110 and CONTRA 140 - these are the names of major innovations from Bernhardt Apparatebau, which is already known worldwide for its technologically advanced SECUMAR lifejackets. New work and survival suits, acc. to DIN EN ISO 150271, now complement the lifejackets in such a way that SECUMAR products not only protect from drowning alone, but also against the mortal risk of the “cold”. On-water clothing and protective equipment should fit most perfectly to each other. The new work and survival suits have been developed according to this basic idea, the most important characteristic being excellent functionality associated with high wearer comfort. The suits are waterproof and the user can set them up individually with different underwear depending on water temperature so they are perfectly protected from cold shock and hypothermia - even under extreme conditions. All suits use the GoreTex® high-performance membrane which whilst preventing water ingress, allows internal water vapor to diffuse through the material to the outside, making it extremely comfortable to wear. The different models differ significantly in how they work: 14 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

The CONTRA 110 models are undersuits which can be worn under any working clothes - and so they are protected from mechanical damage and contamination. They are characterized by very low weight. The CONTRA 140 models are working and survival suits and can be equipped with an internal fall arrest harness according to EN 361 / EN 858 for work at height with the CONTRA 140 AS model. The suits are available in six sizes to allow the highest level of movement. Socks or S5 safety boots (depending on the model) are integrated, the seals at the neck and wrists are soft and their sizes are freely selectable. This personalised and freely configurable suit is comfortable to wear even over long periods with its horizontal zipper across the stomach and removable thermal liner, fixed by means of zippers, allowing easy donning and doffing and ensuring a comfortable fit. The suit itself has no integrated buoyancy system. We therefore recommend an additional SECUMAR lifejacket according to EN ISO 12402-2 or SOLAS regulations with a minimum of 275N buoyancy. The SECUMAR GOLF 275 HV fireman’s lifejacket, acc. to EN ISO 12402-2, was developed specifically for the Fire

Brigade and can be used with or without self-contained breathing apparatus. The arrangement of the harness straps enable the lifejacket to be worn over or under the compressed air cylinder, so the SCBA doesn’t need to be removed to don the lifejacket. The special design of the buoyancy chamber provides enough space at the back of the neck to prevent the helmet being forced forward and at the front for the mask and demand valve. A D-ring at the back allows the connection to a safety line. For “hot” missions close to the fire the outer protective cover of aluminized NOMEX preserves the lifejacket from damage by heat and sparks. These new innovations will be shown on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the DGzRS in conjunction with the Congress “WMRC” (World Maritime Rescue Congress) from May 30th to June 02nd 2015 at the “MMS” Exhibition in Bremerhaven and also at Interschutz 2015 - the leading exhibition for fire prevention, rescue, disaster relief, safety and security - where SECUMAR will be found in hall 025 - booth no. H20 from 08th to June 13th 2015. For more information, Website: www.secumar.com

‘Uparwala’ CP Plus zooms in on an eve teaser

P PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, has rolled out a second TVC, titled ‘pervert’. The ad film has been conceptualised by DentsuMarcom. The ad opens at a road side stall where we see a young woman making enquiries about a product that catches her eye. A young man stops by an makes indirect comments directed at her. The girl ignores him and the shopkeeper tries to thwart the young man’s behaviour. This has no effect as he tries to brush against her pretending to be enquiring about a camera. At this juncture, the shop keeper draws his attention to CP Plus’ CCTV camera mounted above with a warning that ‘Uparwala sab dekhrahahai’. Scared, the young man quickly apologises to the girl saying ‘Sorry, sister’, the ‘sister’ being prompted by the young lady. Yogesh Dutta, COO, CP Plus, said, “A constant concern for our security as well as that of loved ones is a concomitant result of urban living today. As the world’s most sought after name in the realm of video surveillance solutions, we wished to stress

on the impactful nature of our security systems that can guarantee the safety and wellbeing of every civilian – whether at home, office or a public place.

CP Plus brings in the assurance of omnipresence to security

P PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, has unveiled its latest TV campaign for its line of security and surveillance products, where the communication has gone beyond the usual product narrative and captures a key cultural insight to drive home the brand’s message. The television campaign has been created by DentsuMarcom and is on air across channels during the ongoing IPL 2015 as well as news channels. The need for security and surveillance systems in India has moved from being a need to an urban necessity. The campaign objective for CP Plus was to maximise recall and create reassurance of the brand and its relevance to the consumers as well as key stakeholders. The idea was to leverage the prevalent cultural contextualisation of security in India. Therefore, the approach was to appeal to the consumer in a manner that addressed his emotional need for security, which cued to the brand signoff – ‘Uparwalasabhdekhrahahai’. The campaign comprises three films, of which two films on ragging and eve teasing have been released in the public domain. The third film based on a maid is slated for release this week. The first TVC, which is on ‘Ragging’, shows a group of seniors rag the juniors, asking them to form a ‘QutubMinar’ by climbing on top of each other. One of the juniors finds a CCTV camera mounted on a pillar and teases the seniors, saying “Uparwala sab dekhrahahai”, indicating that all their acts are been seen and recorded up there. The second film shows an eve teaser bothering a girl at a shop, when the shopkeeper points out at the CCTV 20 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

camera and asks the guy to look up, saying “Uparwala sab dekhrahahai’, indicating that his actions are being watched by the one above. The third film shows a maid looking after a baby while the mother has gone to her office. During meal time, the maid instead of feeding the baby, starts eating the kheer herself, when a woman on the TV screen points towards the CCTV on the ceiling and sternly warns the maid that “Uparwala sab dekhrahahai”. Commenting on the campaign, AbhinavKaushik, Vice-President, DentsuMarcom, said, “As the world around becomes less safe and there is growing concern in individuals and institutions about protection, CP Plus builds on this topical insight about trust and security and marries it with a cultural truth to arrive at this very relevant creative expression of ‘Uparwala sab dekhrahahai’. This expression and messaging goes beyond the rational promise to create an emotional impact that touches the consumer in his personal, cultural and social context.” Vishal Mittal, Senior Creative Director, Dentsu Marcom, added here, “Since we can remember, we have been scaring people, cautioning people,

assuring people by saying ‘Uparwala sab dekhrahahai’. A CCTV camera captures everything that is happening. So this simple line, which all of us have used so many times, fits perfectly well for the CCTV’s premise too. It’s almost as if it was made for the CCTV cameras only.” Yogesh Dutta, COO, CP Plus, remarked, “A constant concern for our security as well as that of loved ones is a concomitant result of urban living today. As the world’s most sought after name in the realm of video surveillance solutions, we wished to stress on the impactful nature of our security systems that can guarantee the safety and well-being of every civilian – whether at home, office or a public place.

#SayNotoRoadRage with CP Plus’ UPARWALA SAB DEKH RAHA HAIon Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM

P PLUS, the Global Leader in advanced surveillance and security systems and solutions, and market leader with No. 1 market share in India, has entered into an association with Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM for the campaign, #SayNoToRoadRage. Launched with the objective to create awareness of the rising need for security and surveillance systems in the country, the campaign reinforces the fact that high-end security solutions are not just a sporadic need but an urban necessity. CP PLUS, as a category leader, aims to maximise its brand recall and increase its brand salience through this innovative campaign. Yogesh B. Dutta, COO, CP PLUS commented, “Road rage can be extremely catastrophic, hence it is

22 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

important to keep track of what’s happening on the roads and prevent people from indulging in unnecessary fights for petty issues. Radio Mirchi’s access to its listeners as one of the most popular radio channels in the country, serves as an ideal platform to launch our campaign against road rage. Through this campaign, we wish to make people aware of the repercussions that their rage can bring in other’s lives. This will also help us in bolstering our brand presence and enhancing our visibility in the market”. As part of the campaign, RJ Naved interviewed some people who have become victims of road rage at some time or the other. The main cause of road rage is the uncontrollable anger that people seem to demonstrate when stressed on the road. A

slight scratch or a dent on their car has raised people’s temper, provoked filthy language and even led to violence. Unaware of the serious consequences that such acts can bring, people continue to commit them regularly, as they pride the well-being of their swanky vehicles over the well-being of fellow human beings. As a custodian of safety and security in public places as well as homes, CP Plus emphasizes on making people aware of the consequences of road rage and how a proper surveillance system can regulate such incidents through its innovative campaign #SayNoToRoadRage.

HID Global & Botosoft Launch Mobile Student ID System in West Africa to Authenticate Over 2 Million Nigerian Students

ID Global®, a worldwide leader in secure identity solutions, announced it has successfully launched a mobile student ID system in collaboration with Botosoft, the leading provider of technologies in Africa, to help the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) combat student identity fraud in Nigeria. Every year, beginning in the spring, more than 2.2 million students will register online and receive machine-readable Genuine HID® smart cards. Mobile readers validate new student ID cards instantly. “The implementation of this realtime identification and monitoring system helps bring to life our vision of being a world-class examinations body,” said Mr. Charles Eguridu, WAEC Head of National Office Lagos. “We turned to Botosoft & HID Global to develop an electronic student ID card program that could address the high-volume issuance requirements of WAEC in a very aggressive timeframe as well as our overall need to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the annual exams.” To facilitate improvements in the annual examinations, WAEC teamed with Lagos-based Botosoft and HID Global to assist with the development and deployment of a secure card issuance and mobile student ID system, ultimately allowing WAEC to meet and exceed its security needs on budget. The use of handheld mobile readers eliminates identity fraud; allows examiners to verify student attendance; and enables them to manage challenges around examination rules violations in real-time. The mobile reader

30 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

application also saves hundreds of hours of manual data entry and eliminates errors. The time saved allows the examiners to concentrate on the importance of the day as they can be confident that the students are already authenticated for the exam in question. “Our goal is to make the lives of the Nigerian people better,” said Babatope M. Agbeyo, Chairman, Botosoft. “By partnering with HID Global, we have been able to help WAEC achieve its goal to maintain the integrity of the examinations process. In 2014, we helped register and validate more than 2.2 million students at examination centers across Nigeria using 15,000 custom mobile readers.” HID Global leveraged its government ID expertise and offerings to deliver a customized solution to accept the raw data from the WAEC online enrollment process, validate the information and prepare it for use in personalizing the cards in Botosoft’s facility.

The turnkey software and hardware solution included 48 HID Global FARGO®DTC4500 and DTC4500e ID card printers / encoders with a combined capacity of more than 65,000 cards per day. Additionally, HID Global assisted with the card design and development of the mobile reader application software used in the mobile readers. Once issued, Botosoft’s Candidates Identity Verification, Attendance, Malpractice and Post-Examinations Management System(CIVAMPEMS) ensures effective administration of the “Exam Day” process. “Education in emerging countries is critical to the development of our youth and a key to Nigeria’s future. We are excited to be at the forefront of the mobile ID market, and to be instrumental in bolstering faith in the qualifications that legitimate candidates work so hard to achieve,” said Rob Haslam, vice president, Government ID Solutions with HID Global. “Innovations in mobile ID technologies are allowing us to meet the unique ID needs of our customers, especially those in developing countries where mobile technologies have leapfrogged more traditional technology infrastructures. Working together with Botosoft, we were able to build and deliver a secure and affordable solution to meet WAEC’s stringent requirements.” The West African Examinations Council Electronic Student ID Card was recently named a finalist in the prestigious International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA) Élan Awards 2015.

Challenges Banks and financial institutions face a variety of challenges, including fraud, theft and even every-day accidents such as slips and falls. Banks face external and internal threats. External threats are direct and include armed robberies, forged documents, forced entries, physical harassment, and bullying of staff, etc. In fact, insider threats also pose a greater risk than external threats as employees already know where the company’s ‘crown jewels’ are. These crown jewels could include the assets that drive cash flows, competitive advantage and shareholder value. Insiders tend to know what exactly resides on the networks and how to gain access to them for the purpose of theft, disclosure, destruction or indeed manipulation. For example the leaking and disclosure of critical information could lead to the manipulation of share values.

Music Festival Safety is Coordinated with Milestone Video Unified Command’s mobile security unit uses XProtect IP video management technology to manage crowd services with fast incident response

M Mr. Chris Gandy, Chief Technology Officer, Unified Command

ilestone Systems open platform IP video management software (VMS) is a core technology in the mobile event incident command unit developed by Unified Command as a temporary security operation center (SOC) that moves from one event location to another. “Milestone VMS technology helps us unify all the facets of complex events into one centralized command. That coordination enables us to respond more effectively to emergencies. We’re able to quickly dispatch the right people to the right places, which makes events safer for everyone,” says Chris Gandy, Chief Technology Officer, Unified Command. The company hires local law enforcement, dispatch and emergency service personnel for 40–50 big events across the U.S. each year, such as the music festivals Hard Summer and Outside Lands, Coachella and Stagecoach. In 2013, Chris Gandy joined as chief technology officer. With nearly two decades of experience as a police technical detective in a major metropolitan police force, he has worked with video surveillance for years.

requirements and exceeded most. “A lot of manufacturers force you to buy their hardware, but with Milestone I use a Dell server, my own networking equipment and whatever kinds of cameras I want. I don’t like being locked into a certain make and model of camera or a specific brand of hardware: I make my own choices.” Fast Deployment and Response Gandy reports that the ease and speed for Milestone to be deployed makes it an attractive solution, especially in an industry where speed matters. “We go into a field in the middle of nowhere, put up cameras and the next thing you know we’ve got eyes on more than 100 acres. For the people operating the system, it’s very user friendly and easy to learn.” The primary benefit is better

Freedom of Choice in the Components Gandy’s list of must-haves for a VMS solution was extensive, from overall video stability to ease-of-use, to robust mapping capabilities – all based on a truly open platform.

overall response to incidents that happen at events: overflowing trash cans, lost items, clogged entry and exit points, unruly and potentially dangerous crowds and serious medical emergencies. “By putting everyone in the same virtual room through access to a top quality video solution, everyone involved in the event’s success is able to read off the same page. Without this way to coordinate, you would have all different facets operating separately,” Gandy says. “The Milestone VMS helps put the right people into the right places. Since we can all communicate with each other directly, we respond more quickly.” For example, when a call comes in that someone has passed out, the dispatcher in the command center uses the call’s point of origin to identify the closest camera and directs that camera to scan the crowd to the person needing attention. The dispatcher gives the exact location to the medics - which is critical when it’s dark out, strobe lights are running and there are no cross streets for reference points. As a result, the medics quickly get assistance to those in need, not wasting precious time searching a crowd of thousands. The incident command team proactively scans video for potential

problems. When people appear to have consumed too much alcohol or other substances, or crowds gather near perimeters perhaps preparing for “fence crashing”, Unified Command operators use the camera coordinates to direct security staff to the exact location, fast. Efficient Ease of Use, Interactive Maps Give Pinpoint Precision The complexities of managing incident response for changing event venues leave little – if any – time for training. Gandy reports that the Milestone VMS is very easy to use. “We can bring up multiple customized views for display on computers, mobile devices and the XProtect Smart Walls. It’s a big issue with a lot of security systems to know where the cameras are to get the live view quickly, but the interactive map in Milestone takes care of that: operators just click on an icon and a separate window pops up with the camera feed of that view.” Gandy begins each event by putting a location diagram into the software and placing an icon for each camera on the computer-generated map. This eliminates the need for staff to look up confusing camera identifiers like North Parking Lot Facing South, which means nothing to dispatchers who don’t work in the area

every day. Mobile and Wireless for Situational Awareness Unified Command takes advantage of mobile and wireless capabilities to coordinate among the locations within an event. Using the Video Push feature in the Milestone Mobile client, cell phone cameras can record video at points not covered by the network cameras and stream (‘push’) those images back to the command center via wi-fi. Milestone Mobile also streams video to iPads that Unified Command assigns to event managers, enabling ‘views of the entire festival they can carry in their back pocket’. Gandy says the Milestone wireless support makes it possible to set up the command center physically removed from the heart of the event. This ensures that staff can focus on coordinating services rather than protecting themselves during an emergency. “Anyone we have connected to the event’s security network can easily and quickly see exactly what’s going on anywhere without having to get to the command center,” he says. “That frees all of us up to focus on resolving whatever the situation may be.” For more information, Website: www.milestonesys.com INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2015 | 49

Honeywell & TPDDL deploy first-of-its-kind smart grid project to improve energy reliability

oneywell (NYSE: HON) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) today announced that they have successfully implemented the first ever Automated Demand Response (ADR) project for commercial and industrial facilities in India. TPDDL will use Honeywell technology & services to link more than 160 buildings in its distribution network, and call for temporary reductions in energy use when demand threatens to outpace supply in grid stress conditions. This includes power management during periods of peak consumption, as well as other grid emergency situations. ADR gives the grid operator a new domestic resource to help alleviate stress on transmission and distribution lines, and improve supply efficiency. Given the gap between the power required for homes and businesses in India, and what utilities can produce, many cities across the country face severe brownouts and blackouts. The demand for electricity in Delhi, for example, has almost doubled over the past decade. With nearly 50 percent of the country’s peak load tied to commercial and industrial sites, the ability to adjust related energy use is critical. Grid operators like TPDDL can use ADR to help reduce peak load in a facility by 15 percent on average, creating a “virtual power plant” that generates “megawatts” or reduced demand. The project will give TPDDL the ability to reduce approximately 11.5 megawatts of peak demand. However, if the same technology were deployed in all buildings in India, electricity consumption could drop an estimated 10.5 50 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

gigawatts, close to 7 percent of the peak energy currently required nationwide. “This is a significant initiative — one that supports our mission to build a resource-efficient, environmentally friendly electrical grid,” said Mr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & ED of Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited. “We are committed to making this deployment a success, and finding new opportunities to extend ADR to other customers, thus playing a role in helping to meet Delhi’s energy needs. We believe our steps in this direction will also encourage other Indian utilities to adopt smart grid technology for efficient operations.” High-end commercial and industrial consumers in the TPDDL territory with individual connected load of more than 100 Kilo Volt Amps (kVA) volunteered for the project. As they signed up, Honeywell and TPDDL conducted site audits, and worked with the building owners and operators to identify and implement changes to help temporarily trim consumption. Conservation measures include turning off commercial and industrial loads like banks of motors, pumps, fans and condensers for a short period. TPDDL is using Honeywell’s software as a service (SaaS) and smart meters to communicate with the building systems at the participating sites, and automatically apply the load-shed measures when the grid is overburdened. By participating, commercial and industrial customers can cut their energy use and costs without compromising operations. The collective decrease in consumption gives the grid operator more tools to balance supply

and demand, and help avoid power disruptions. In addition, ADR helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the need to run expensive peaking plants, which typically sit idle until customers require more electricity than the utility is able to provide using its primary, base-load generators. “TPDDL is steering the country toward a smarter, more dynamic electrical grid where utilities and their customers collaborate to solve broad challenges,” said Anant Maheshwari, president, Honeywell India. “This project will help support the development and expansion of smart grid solutions in India. Honeywell is also committed to providing a simplified ADR solution for companies with less of a connected load to boost participation,” he added. Honeywell is a pioneer and leader in ADR with 20 programs underway in the United States and around the world, including groundbreaking projects in Australia, China, India and the U.K. In addition, Honeywell has managed demand response and energy efficiency programs for more than 100 utilities. With controls in more than 150 million homes, 10 million buildings and thousands of industrial sites across the globe, Honeywell has the technology and expertise to empower smart energy producers and users. TPDDL has also successfully demonstrated the ADR-enabled smart grid solution at the India Smart Grid Week 2015 conference in March. The company is also a pioneer in adoption and implementation of other smart grid technologies like SCADA, AMR, DMS, DA, SAP, GIS, OMS and AMI. Web: www.honeywellsmartgrid.com www.ind-safety.com

Leading textile retailer invests in very early smoke detection with Vesda

othys is one of the largest chains of textile showrooms operating in South India with a net worth of over 1 billion Indian rupees ($20 million USD). Pothys displays and sells a wide range of high quality silk garments and sarees and their flagship store is located in Chennai. The highly flammable nature of silk products combined with the risk of overheating electrical cables poses a high fire risk. A fire in these stores has the potential to cost millions in spoilt stock and building damage as well as compromising customer life safety. Conventional point detectors were previously installed in their showrooms; however these did not provide adequate early warning of fire and time to investigate and prevent escalating consequences. They were also considered to be difficult to maintain and monitor. The detectors were connected to a main fire panel for purposes of monitoring and assessing alarms. This was a difficult system for staff to use: the panel was unable to pinpoint the exact location of a fire or identify the condition of individual detectors. Time and effort was often wasted trying to find the exact location of a threat which severely compromised an effective response plan. Maintenance was labour intensive and an expensive process: as the fire panel was unable to identify which detectors required servicing, each detector required regular removal, cleaning and recalibration.

58 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

The Solution VESDA was suggested as an alternative solution offering very early warning detection and ease of monitoring. In case of an impending fire threat, VESDA identifies smoke at the incipient stage, providing plenty of time for early investigation and intervention to avoid potential damage and risk to customer safety. After considering a range of air sampling smoke detection (ASD) solutions, VESDA was trialed in one showroom and was found to provide superior performance over other detectors consistently detecting minimum traces of smoke. The successful trials led to VESDA being chosen as the preferred solution. The proposed design to protect nine stores included VESDA VLC and VLP detectors. VESDA System Management (VSM4) software was also integrated into the design for ease of monitoring. Two VESDA detectors were installed on each floor with each store containing anywhere from six to ten floors. One VESDA VLP detector was installed in the showroom on each floor, protecting the show room area while a VLC detector was installed in the false ceiling to provide additional protection. Each store contains

between ten to twenty detectors protecting the entire facility. The Outcome The installation of VESDA VSM4 provided a much more user-friendly and cost-effective monitoring experience for Pothys to assess and respond to any event. VSM4 allows Pothys to monitor VESDA systems of multiple stores all from one location, with the ability to provide the location and devices involved in a particular event. This helped the staff to minimise time required to find the threat and initiate an appropriate emergency response. VSM4 also allows for remote monitoring with any pre-defined event notifications e-mailed or sent via SMS to two people responsible for managing the system. Maintenance time and costs are reduced as only ten to twenty VESDA detectors per store need to be maintained periodically, as opposed to a hundred or more point detectors per store. Early warning and intervention means that Pothys can rest assured that its valued customers and inventory are protected from the threat of fire.

New Sport’s Bar Protected by Fike Fire Detection

orey’s Sports Bar, a newly refurbished nightspot in Tamworth, UK, has invested in a fire detection solution from Fike Safety Technology (FST). Located in the town centre, the new bar opened at the end of 2014 and offers local residents the latest sports, music, entertainment and food - 7 days a week. FST approved systems integrator, Justice Fire & Security, designed and installed a solution based on the company’s popular Duonet single-loop intelligent addressable fire alarm system. “The innovative technology built into the Duonet panel is designed to significantly reduce false alarms and provide the flexibility required for demanding environments such as nightclubs” explained, Steve Grant, Installations Manager of Justice Fire & Security. “This flexibility combined with the benefits of FST’s multi-criteria detectors made Duonet an obvious choice for this project.” Forty devices including Multipoint ASD detectors, call points, sounders and beacons, were installed in the bar - up to 200 devices can be installed 60 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

on a single loop. The Multipoint ASD detector provides high performance and flexibility through multiple choices of detection mode, combined with an optional built-in 90dBA sounder and strobe. The unit can be set to a single mode or a combination, for a choice of up to 15 different settings. Each detector also has an in-built loop isolator as well as optional I/O for local control and switching. This single device can be used in all fire detection applications simply by changing its mode of operation. For example, the detectors protecting the dance floor have been programmed to a heat mode as the bar uses a smoke machine for effects. This flexibility also allows the system to be easily re-configured if the layout of the venue changes at any time in the future. “As a system designer and installer the flexibility of the Multipoint ASD Detectors is a great advantage. We only have to stock a couple of different versions of detector and they can easily be re-programmed on site if we come across any problems during commissioning”, added Steve.

To aid evacuation in the event of fire, standalone strobes were installed in the toilets as well as on detectors on the dance floor. The use of integral strobes eliminates the need to install a separate strobe and therefore saves time and money. Loop mounted I/O modules were used to automatically turn off the sound system and turn on the lighting if an alarm is triggered. The Duonet panel provides up to 2-loops, whereas Quadnet, its larger brother, has a capacity of up to 4 loops making addressable Multipoint ASD detector technology available to customers with systems of up to 800 devices. The standard black high-gloss finish of the panels not only reflects its state-of-the-art technology, but also enhances its surroundings - rather than be hidden away as is often the need with traditional fire alarm control panels. Duonet’s design, performance and flexibility appeals to consultants, end-users, installers and engineers alike. For more information, Web: www.fikesafetytech.co.uk www.ind-safety.com

Putting Safety First: Protecting Your Business

he wealth of fire and safety regulation reforms that have swept across India in the past few years has made slow progress in terms of actual product implementation with many businesses still failing to significantly protect their buildings, employees and assets.Much of this antipathy is attributed to a lack of education and awareness on how the appropriate safety equipment and measures can truly protect businesses. Recent data, cited in an article from India Today, noted that as many as 400 restaurants in New Delhi are “under the scanner of the Delhi government officials for lacking basic fire safety measures.” While this is only a glimpse into one industry, it is indicative of what may be found elsewhere which is potentially detrimental to the rapid economic growth currently realised across the country. Businesses need to take responsibility for protecting their employees and assets which can be supported by partnering with specialist manufacturers,specifiers, consultants and installers. These relationships can offer long term benefits including counsel on ever increasing legislation, appropriate product installation and the safety measures needed for ultimate protection. The correct education is key to raising awareness in every industry.

With India’s economy expected to continue its rapid grow by eight per cent in 2016, and regulatory changes desperately trying to keep a pace, businesses need to use all options available to them to become fully compliant. One such example is to utilise the resources offered by industry leading associations such as the Fire Protection Association of India, Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI), Institution of Fire Engineers (India)etc. Signing up to regular safety sector newsletters and policy update alerts is one way to stay abreast of the ever changing regulatory landscape and connecting with them through social media is also useful. All of these associations host regular events that offer a wealth of resources, advice and the opportunity to really engage and form partnerships that are mutually beneficial. Businesses can also take advantage of the association’s expertise by inviting them to speak at their own fire safety training events. In conclusion, there is a raft of information available for businesses that want to protect their assets and people. It is imperative that all providers of safety solutions work together on an achievable collective solution. For more information, Web: www.hochikieurope.com www.ind-safety.com

Expectations from Safety Managers in Pharmaceuticals Industry Mr. Pradip Nakashe, EHS Consultant (Retd. Environment, Health and Safety Manager, GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Mumbai) With changing manufacturing scenario and global market requirements the focus on the sustainable and secure supply of the pharmaceutical products is of paramount importance. Following usual lagging safety indicators like Loss Time Injury Index, severity index etc. may not ensure incident free manufacturing. Proactive approach to safety management with focus on certain blue-chip programs focusing on the learning from the history can ensure security of supply and healthy work environment for the workers. KEYWORDS : Leading/Lagging EHS Indicators; Secured supply. 1. Introduction The Pharmaceutical industry in India has been witnessing phenomenal growth in recent years, driven by rising consumption levels in the country and strong demand from export markets. According to Department of Pharmaceuticals of the Indian Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers, the total turnover of India’s pharmaceuticals industry between 2008 and September 2009 was US$21.04 billion. While the domestic market was worth US$12.26 billion. The industry holds a market share of $14 billion in the United States. In world rankings, the domestic industry stands fourth in terms of volume and 13th in value terms. The ranking in value terms is also a reflection of the low prices at which medicines are sold in the country.

66 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

In terms of infrastructure development, technology base and the wide range of products manufactured the industry has seen very good progress. The exports market’s demand has been growing rapidly due to the capability of Indian players to produce cost-effective drugs with world class manufacturing facilities. Bulk drugs of all major therapeutic groups, requiring complicated manufacturing processes are now being produced in India. In addition to having GMP, WHO, several Indian companies have also been getting plant approvals from international regulatory agencies like US FDA, MHRA (UK) etc. India possesses the highest number of US FDA approved manufacturing facilities outside the USA and currently tops in filing the drug master files (DMF) with the US FDA. This has also facilitated the domestic industry to attract contract manufacturing opportunities in the rapidly growing generics market. A paradigm shift occurred in the Indian pharmaceutical industry with India becoming a signatory to the WTO order, ushering in the Product Patent Regime. Earlier, with the enactment of The Patent Act, 1970, only process patent was applicable for pharmaceuticals

2. Secured Sustainable Supply Secured supply of bulk drugs (APIs) or the formulations to markets is the key to any manufacturing unit as any interruption due to EHS incidence can mean loss of business. To avoid incidences strong EHS systems and procedures are required to be drawn and adhered to. Earlier reliance on the Lagging Safety Indicators to evaluate Safety performance such as Loss Time Injury Illness free working hours, Severity Index, Reportable Injury Illness Rate etc. only gives picture of how the unit performed in the past. Past performance of safety cannot guarantee safety at the unit in future. Proactive approach includes relying on Leading Safety Indicators such as number unsafe conditions/unsafe acts spotted and corrective actions taken, self inspections, peer audits, effective incident investigation with Corrective and Preventive Actions(CAPA) identification and its timely closure etc. 3. Key Areas of focus in EHS Management Though all the EHS Management areas are important for effective management of EHS function following are the key areas of focus in the pharmaceutical

Continued from page no. 66 industry. In the bulk drugs units: • All Process Safety Management Elements • Risks identification & elimination • Chemicals segregation and storage • Hazardous Area Classification • Permit to Work • Flammable Solvent handling • Control of Static electricity • Material handling • Emergency Preparedness and handling • Exposure to Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredient • Hazardous waste • Self inspections and Audits • CAPA tracking and closure • Change Control In the formulation units: • Risks identification & elimination • Flammable solvent handling • Hazardous Area Classification • Zero Access Machine Guarding • Permit to Work • Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures • Material handling • Exposure to Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredient • Hazardous waste • Contractor management • Self inspections and Audits • CAPA tracking and closure • Change Control 3.1 Process Safety Effective process safety management ensures prevention of catastrophic events such as fire, explosions, accidental release of chemicals/toxic releases. Process safety generally refers to the prevention of unintentional releases of chemicals, energy, or other potentially dangerous materials (including steam) during the course of chemical processes that can have a serious effect to the plant and environment. Process safety involves, for example, the 68 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

prevention of leaks, spills, equipment malfunction, over-pressures, over-temperatures, corrosion, metal fatigue and other similar conditions. Process safety programs focus on design and engineering of facilities, maintenance of equipment, effective alarms, effective control points, procedures and training. It is sometimes useful to consider process safety as the outcome or result of a wide range of technical, management & operational disciplines coming together in an organized way. Ensuring implementation of Basis of Safety, Safe hold positions, emergency venting, reaction calorimetry data, Mal-operation studies, HAZOP studies, preventive maintenance program, Permit to Work system, dust explosion properties of drug intermediates etc. ensures implementation of elements of the Process Safety. 3.2 Risks Identification & Elimination As in any other industry identifying of risks and maintaining Risk Management System helps in proactively implementing actions to minimize the risks and eventually eliminate them using the hierarchy of control. This ensures that proper planning is done and required resources are allocated to focus on areas needing improvement to reduce the EHS related risks. Introduction of new processes, changes in current processes, self inspections, audit observations, incident investigations act as sources of identifying new Risks. Risk Registers should be maintained and kept updated regularly. 3.3 Chemicals Segregation & Storage Various chemicals having different properties are required in Bulk Drugs manufacturing units to carry out different chemical reactions. Based on the compatibilities of the chemicals with each other they should be segregated and stored in suitable identified places in the optimum quantities. Suitable containment arrangements must be provided to take care of any accidental spillages due to rupture of the storage containers such as dykes.

3.4 Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) Large volumes of flammable solvents, gases and dusts are involved in manufacturing of the Bulk Drugs. HAC studies are required to be carried out to prevent instances of fire and explosion in such identified areas where suitably rated electrical equipment is deployed to control the source of ignition. 3.5 Permit To Work Effective Permit to Work system must be in place & in use to have assessment of the hazards involved in the task to be undertaken through integrated checklists & precautions to be taken while carrying the particular job. The issue of the relevant Permit must be carried out after joint inspection of the work by the Permit issuer and the receiver. Isolations carried out during the task should be recorded and signed off by the competent persons. Pending jobs must be recorded on the Permit clearly at the end of the validity time mentioned on the Permit and if the job is completed then hand over should be recorded and signed off by both issuer and the acceptor of the Permit. Apart from General Work Permit other Permits for specific tasks such as ‘Entry in to confined space’, ‘Hot Work’, ‘Working at Height’, ‘Working on fragile roof’, ‘working on High Tension Electrical Installation’ also need to be drawn & used. 3.6 Flammable Solvent Handling Open handling of flammable solvents should be minimized to prevent creating flammable atmosphere. For handling small quantities safety cans/containers should be used. Suitable Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems should be designed and used to prevent exposure to handlers of solvents. 3.7 Control of static electricity Static charge genearation can be a source of ignition causing fires and therefore needs to be controlled by using effective means of earthing and bonding. Earth resistance of the earthing pits should be carried out at periodic intervals and earthing points should be provided in the manufacturing areas to www.ind-safety.com

SAFETY INDUSTRY » Tech Update

dissipate the static charge to prevent sparks generation. Footwear with conducting type soles should be provided to all entering the manufacturing areas. Suitable testing mechanism to test the effective conductance of the footwear sole should be installed & used. Cotton apparel must be worn by all entering the manufacturing area. 3.8 Material Handling Various types of material handling equipment are used to transport raw materials as well as intermediates and finished goods in the factory. Battery operated vehicles should be operated by only trained and authorized persons and should be used after checking as per the check-list. Adequate warning devises such as horn, reverse horn and light should be in working condition. At blind turning points warning signs and traffic showing mirrors should be installed. Refresher training should be imparted to all the operators at periodic intervals. 3.9 Emergency Preparedness and Handling Emergency response team should be formed and trained to handle emergency on site. All possible scenarios should be listed in Emergency Plan & command structure & key roles & responsibilities during the onset of emergency should be spelled out. Mock drills should be conducted periodically to test this Plan. If required, plan should be amended based on the observations made during the mock drill. 3.10 Exposure To Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) should be handled very carefully as exposure to it can result in occupational health issues to the handlers in some cases. Occupational hygiene monitoring needs to be carried out for APIs having Occupational Exposure Limit of (OEL) of less than or equal to 10 mcg/ m3. Engineering controls such as Glove Boxes or similar containment solutions must be put to use and its effectiveness should be tested periodically with www.ind-safety.com

Occupational Hygiene monitoring. 3.11 Hazardous Waste All the hazardous waste generated from the process should be listed down in hazardous waste management procedure and its disposal should be mentioned therein. Efforts should be made to reduce generation of waste. 3.12 Contractor Management Many engineering / maintenance activities are entrusted to contractors. Competence of the contractor staff should be verified before allowing them to work. Periodic meetings should be held with the contractor supervisors to appraise them about the EHS related activities. Contractor selection process should include the EHS consideration and due importance must be given to EHS awareness of the Contractor and its past record with other units. 3.13 Self Inspections & Audits All the departments must have regular self inspection schedule to periodically check EHS related inspections such as PPE storage and maintenance, Material Handling equipment, Eye wash fountains, First Aid boxes etc.Inter-departmental EHS audits should be carried out on periodic basis against the applicable EHS standards. Key representative from all functions should be part of the Audit team. Audit schedule should be prepared in advance and communicated. 3.14 CAPA Tracking & Closure Internal audit reports should be issued and Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) should be drawn with time limit and Action owners. CAPA closure should be tracked to ensure allocation of due resources. 3.15 Change Control Any change in process, equipment should be controlled through a robust change control program. All the aspects of the change including its EHS impact should be assessed and recorded in the Change Control document. Any recommendations endorsed in the document should be completed before implementing the change.

3.16 Zero Access Machine Guarding Various machines used in formulation manufacturing units have many pinching points and hence all such points should be guarded effectively. The guards should be interlocked with the machine operation so as to prevent running of the machine when the guard is not in its place. 3.17 Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) Procedures Isolating all types of energy sources before adjusting/maintaining any machine is very important to prevent injuries. This can be achieved through a robust LOTO program. LOTO awareness should be ensured through periodic training programs. LOTO stations and registers should be well maintained. 4. Impelementing OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 OHSAS 18001 (officially “BS OHSAS 18001:2007”) is an internationally applied British Standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It exists to help all kinds of organizations put in place demonstrably sound occupational health and safety performance. ISO 14000 is a family of standards related to environmental management that exists to help organizations to (a) minimize how their operations (processes, etc.) negatively affect the environment (i.e., cause adverse changes to air, water, or land); (b) comply with applicable laws, regulations, and other environmentally oriented requirements, and (c) continually improve in the above. 5. Conclusion Implementing strong EHS Management systems and relying on the leading Safety Indicators can ensure sustainable secure supply of the product without any business interruptions due to EHS incidences. Having strong systems ‘in place’ and ensuring their ‘in use’ status can ensure incident free working and safe working environment to all. INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2015 | 69

Bosch Access Control Integration with Milestone is Certified XProtect Access Control Module provides handling of events, doors and gates from the easy-to-use video interface

ilestone Systems open platform IP video management software (VMS) is integrated with Bosch Access Control – and has been certified with full documentation of testing results and best practice for optimal configurations. This means that Bosch and Milestone customers can count on a reliable, interoperable solution, and installing partners can take advantage of the practical information in the certification documents for better implementations. The integration between the Bosch Access Control system and the Milestone XProtect® VMS was achieved earlier with the user interface via the Bosch system, and subsequently upgraded with the XProtect® Access Control Module in 2014, with the certification process completed by the end of the year. The combined solution now displays real-time access control events and alarms in the Milestone XProtect® Smart Client, also providing control of doors, gates and barriers from within the video interface. Live video and views of recordings are synchronized with all the access control events. The XProtect Access Control Module is part of the Milestone Integration Platform Software Development Kit (MIP SDK). The XProtect Smart Client provides a unified interface to the Bosch Access Control system with such dedicated functions as monitoring access events with video verification, manually assisting passage (controlling doors, gates, etc.), conducting investigations of specific access points or cardholders, easily exporting video evidence and generating reports. Video of the Bosch access incidents visually confirms and informs 80 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

on situations as they happen for verified decision-making and efficient response. The video also provides easily shareable evidential documentation for analysis, rectification or prosecution. The seamless integration of Bosch Access Control with the XProtect Smart Client means Milestone customers can keep their easy-to-use video interface while adding access control - without having to re-train. The integration delivers real-time monitoring with video verification for fast response to incidents, including locking, unlocking or triggering a system lockdown. Users

may also choose to work with the Bosch interface, and the access control main system administration remains within the Bosch system. “Bosch is one of the first Milestone Solution Partners to integrate via the XProtect Access Control Module, which shows a strong commitment to our open platform,” says Trine Voss, Head of Solution Partner Program at Milestone Systems. “Flexibility and reliability are two of Milestone’s core business values; these are both demonstrated in the certification of the Bosch Access Control system with our XProtect Smart Client interface. The freedom of choice lets operators use the features that are most efficient for their security needs.” The certification of the Bosch Access Control integration via the XProtect Access Control Module is another stamp of the strong partnership in the long-standing relationship between these two companies. Milestone Systems already supports the full line of Bosch IP video network cameras, including the comprehensive Bosch analytics offerings. “Bosch’s Access Professional Edition (APE 3.0) is a powerful and scalable access control application, and by that a perfect contribution to the Milestone Solution Partner ecosystem,” states Rudolf Spielberger, Head of the Integration Partner Program at Bosch. “With the fulfilled integration via Milestone’s XProtect Access Control Module, we validate Bosch’s openness strategy by providing - in the uncompromising interest of our customers - common open platform solutions for this demanding market.” For more information, Web: www.milestonesys.com. www.ind-safety.com

Surveillance on the Go By Aditya Ahluwalia – Chairman, Magus Secure

ow safe is India? This is a question of concern amongst expats and travellers around the world. Try searching an answer to the above question on the web and you will have governments of all countries laying down safety precautions for their people while staying in India. With all news channels, newspapers, radio spanking us with news of rape, murder, terrorism etc. such an image is bound to take shape. Don’t we feel ashamed of ourselves? Does it not raise questions if we are safe in our own country? While the crime rate is growing, abductions, human trafficking and extortions have almost become an industry. The rangdari and supari culture is now a new brand of threat to the Indian citizen. Money laundering, hawala, small arms proliferation and human trafficking are on the rise. A recent case about the three year old Jhavi going missing from India gate while on an outing with family shivers our spin and is a live example to the subject under discussion. Amongst this unrest our children yet have to go to school, our wives and sisters have to go to work. But as has been righty said by William Arthur Ward “We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them.” Thus, it is the duty

82 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

of every citizen to ensure their own safety. Today the advancement in technology, enables us to ensure our safety. For over 20 years, businesses, individuals and commercial and residential associations have embraced video surveillance technology as a means to protect residential privacy and property against intrusion and other forms of crime. During the last decade, law enforcement agencies in Great Britain, France, Monaco, Spain and other countries have increasingly relied on Close Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance to enhance public security. Not only are surveillance cameras systems installed to deter burglary, assault and car theft but their use has been extended to include combating ‘anti-social behavior’, such as littering, urinating in public, traffic violations, obstruction, and drunkenness. This too may be of little significance when we talk of video surveillance on the go. Spiritually, it is said that there has been and there will be a balance between the positive and negative forces existent in the cosmic world. Complying with it, just as crime has, and is changing shapes to make its way through, the antidote does not take much time to combat it. The Mobile Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is one such antidote that ensures safety from crimes like human trafficking, kidnapping, theft from vehicles, drunk drivers related crime, hijacking etc. Mobile DVRs are compact, stylish, sophisticated yet easy to install DVRs specially designed for different vehicles like cars, ambulances, school buses, private/public transport

buses, police patrol vehicles etc. With state-of-the art features like built-in camera, MIC for communicating with the operator, G-sensor for ensuring locked doors and stability of the vehicle, external vehicle cameras for 360 degree vision, optional GPS tracking etc. an all-around vehicle security is achieved. CCTV system may be installed where an operator of a machine can directly observe people in the vehicle with the GPS tracking device. This ensures safety to passengers and driver as it provides real time alert to control rooms. A video footage synergy comes in handy at the time of any legal procedures to be taken care off. Mobile DVRs enables to monitor live video and VOIP communication with the driver in case of an emergency. For example, on a school bus, Mobile DVR may allow the operator to directly communicate with the bus driver, having observed a change of route by him or swirling of the vehicle or on suspecting danger on observing the activities within the vehicle. Mobile view support is an added advantage to the many advantages of the product. Hence, “Surveillance on the Go”. We all find ourselves in situations that at times seem hopeless. And, we all have the choice to do nothing or take precaution. Your precaution could save you, so don’t be a bystander when it comes to safety. If you’re not safety conscious, you could end up unconscious. SO THINK ABOUT IT!

Mobility - A leap into the future of security What do we mean by mobility? It means something that moves or can be carried around. How would we feel if our access control system itself moves around?Sounds bizarre but Yes it’s Possible

ccess Control Systems are slowly migrating from the standard package of RFID Card Reader wired to Access Controller to a more Intelligent & Interactive Security System. A card reader which has no intelligent of its own relies on the Controller to allow or restrict Access; thus the power-house is the Access Controller. Trend isnow changing. With the advent of newer technologies aided by increasing awareness and commitment of major corporations towards R&D, the power-house now is same person who is allowed/restricted access i.e. the Access Control System itself roams around with the User of the System. Everything Portable and in Real-time The advent of technology has led to the onus of security passing from the Admin and landing into the hands of the system user. It makes management of premises much simpler as users having Wifi enabled access device that can easily read/write access rights in real time. Also all communication including uploading

Scalable &Robust System With the control moving from the Access Points to the User; there is less dependency on the Access Control Hardware. Vandalism is a serious concern across the world in all sectors; and more often or not it is Security Hardware which becomes the first victim to hooliganism (as it is the same system which stops potential miscreants). With no need to employ expensive hardware and ‘reusing’ the same system smartly, organization save a lot of money and resources by passing the control onto the virtual online world. SaysEric van Griethuysen, Global Strategic Leader for the Sellox Group which offers a similar solution “We at Sellox Group offer a Smart Access Control System called Cylockwherein the mechanical cylinder of a lock is

Shift of Control – From the Administrator to the User Himself Access privileges can be granted dynamically to the user depending on his rights and can be revoked as and when required. This dynamic control offers tremendous flexibility, not to the access point but to the user who uses the access point. This mobility eliminates the need for the user to come back to the communicator or the system administrator to renew or revise his access rights; as all the rights now flow down directly to him as he moves around in the premises. This brings about a lot operational excellence with very minimal maintenance in the field. Cylock – The Center of the Control Continues Eric, “With Cylock the communication happens with a small portable key and not with any lock as witha regular Access Control System; so the entire Access Management System is “key centric” and movable. With no wiring, power or any battery needed in the lock, this is in real sense a Retro-fit Mobile Access Management System which empowers a “geographically” spread organization to monitor and control access from any point.” For more information, Website: www.sellox.in www.ind-safety.com

he change in political leadership with Mr. Narendra Modi becoming Prime Minister of India has infused a sense of progress and change of mood to an extent among the common man. The policies of the present Government have been recognized and have come for appreciationeven at theInternational level. The launch of Jan Dhan Yojana, land Reform Bills, Real Estate Bill and others have been welcome steps and may auger well for the countrymen sooner than later. These are all positive developments though the outcome and impact may be seen a little while later as all of theseare in their nascent stage. The completion of one year by the Modi Government may not have resulted in clear visible tangible results but the euphoria of projected schemes of development like ‘Make in India’ has definitely brought India into Focus once again in the International arena. The concept of 100 smart cities is definitely an eye catcher and welcome move by the Prime Minister and should be pursued in the right earnest. The initiative of Prime Minister to receive and pursue positive suggestions has enthused me to put across my own thoughts. I wish that my contribution, however small could help in improving the lot of the common man. Seventy percent of population of India lives in villages and the youth belonging to this segment are passing through a dramatic psychological turmoil. The invasion of bedroom

from the skies in the form of television and the advancement in telephony through internet has given his mind dreams that were unthinkable few years ago. However, the ground realities around him by way of minimum educational avenues, minimum basic needs of life and same age old shabby surroundings are deterrent for his talent and the dreams to take shape and flourish. The ratio of school dropouts at school or college level is quite high amongst the rural youth which is negatively impacting the education policy and targets of the Govt. Added tothisis the non-availability of vocational avenues in rural environs which is further adversely affecting the aspirations of the youth from the rural areas. All such youth with little education, no vocational skills and passing through utter poverty, find their way to nearest urban cities or large cities where they migrate to find some source of livelihood. This has two major negative impacts on the county and also on the youth of rural background. 1. The cities face invasion by illiterate, uneducated,untrained youth who find themselves unfit thus create more problems for the cities resulting in law and order problem, unplanned excessive burden on each facility of a city, which is unable to cope up with such an influx. 2. The rural youth finds a great disconnect with the way of life in cities which impacts him culturally, professionally and mentally only to add to his woes and thrusts him INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2015 | 85

SECURITY INDUSTRY » Tech Update

on the path of crime, except in few cases. This results in tremendous socio-economic disconnect. If we look at this trend, this trend has been going on for decades after India’s independence and very few reluctant halfhearted measures have been taken by some states without much success. Now that the young population of workable age is going to be highest in India across the globe and stay that way for atleast two to three coming decades, it is the right time if the Government also looked at an idea of “looking to villages” to tap the rural youth and make them vocationally trained assets. In a recent statement the Prime Minister opined that India can supply young professionally trained manpower to all the countries of the world. This idea of the Prime Minister can be fulfilled with adaptation of ‘look at villages’ policy. As per available statistics there are 676 districts in 29 states and 7 Union territories in India with a total number of 6,38,000 villages. 72.2% of population of our country lives in villages where as remaining 27.8% lived in about 5,480 towns and urban agglomerates. The policy of “look to villages” should envisage to create and develop SMART VILLAGES across the country. This would need a shift of thought process of the authorities. On the lines that 100 cities being shortlisted to become SMART CITIES, each district may be divided in cluster of 10 to 15 villages (consisting of a specific number of population say 50-75,000). Each district could have 7to20 such clusters of villages depending on its size of population {One cluster of Villages should be picked up by local 86 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

authorities with the help of public leaders} since it may seem impossible to take up one village at a time to make it a smart village, it would be more practical and convenient if a cluster of villages is formed in each district. All the clusters should be assigned to create a team of thinkers whowould prepare a complete blue print of the requirement of the cluster including need to develop Infrastructurelike roads, buildings, bridges, water, sewage, schools, colleges, hospitals and other facilities as per need based on local talent available, local vocations available, local raw materials/facilities available, service/vocational avenues available locally or in the district or within the state. A plan for 50 years could be made and implemented as a five year plan spread over next 50 years. Each cluster of villages once finalizes its blue print it shall also mention the contribution that thelocal population can make available like funds, shram-dan, infrastructure, trained/untrained manpower to make their cluster a fore runner to be selected to make it a “Smart village cluster”. The Government should allocate funds for development of rural clusters as per their plans and take up this project along side of Smart cities projects. Foreign countries could also be involved in this process in due course. In the recent years many stories about residents of villages having taken upon themselves to transform the lives of their village and itsresidents. The villages have chalked out the plans for their village not only according to their needs/requirements and choices but have contributed financially and by labour

(shram- dan)in carrying out the transformation of their villages. Stories from Rajasthan where water based projects were taken up not only by one village but by a cluster of villages thereby constructing small dams for conservation of rain water, resulting in transformation of their lives in a big way. Their achievements were appreciated at National as well as International level. These are not one off stories but there are plenty of such cases. This should prompt the Goverments at State level and at Central level to shift part of their focus to this need. The idea of smart village in the present day context seems more plausible as there is a limit of growth of cities which is leading to creation of urban jungles, where the population ratio per km of land is way above the desired norms. To take baby steps initially would lead to a compaign at National level once the fruits of this effort start bearing fruits, which surely would be visible for all to see sooner than expected. A State level bodymay be formed which should divided its state in a group of districts say a Zone of 4 to 5districts consisting say X number of such Zones in a state. Each Zone should be divided into cluster of village in a congruent manner which could consist of 12 to 15 villages based on population/socio economic background. Each cluster should be considered for one big project in such a way that this project serves a complete requirement of its Zonal (consisting of 4/5 Districts) needs or even the needs of whole state depending on the size of the project. For example if an educational project is taken up for a particular cluster this would www.ind-safety.com

SECURITY INDUSTRY » Tech Update

serve the whole Zone and cater to all the residents of that Zone or even serve as a nerve centre for that state. Each Zone should be given a major project for its state based on its geography, local talent available etc. The state Governmentsmay prepare a 50 years plan for these clusters based on the lines of ‘Smart Cities’ where they should allot manufacturing industry/educational hub/IT hub /university/tourism hubs/Medical Centers/Vocational Training centersetcetcas per the available natural habitat, raw materials and human talent keeping in mind the futuristic needs of eachcluster and also as per the national development plans prepared by the ‘NITI AYOG’. These plans should be at par with their counterparts available anywhere in the world. Having identified each cluster of districts, the projects of university/hospitals/colleges/tourist spots/IT hub/ manufacturing industry hub/railway/ metro yards/sport hub etc. should be allotted to each cluster depending on needs and geographical location where ever they suit best and would bear fruits for next 50 years as a ongoing developmental programme. All the necessary quality and other controls for this development need to be specifically laid down and followed diligently.Having done this a time frame plan for each need should be identified. The needs of next five yearsshould be identified in such a manner that each cluster of districts is allotted at least one major project. Next logical step should be form a cluster of 10 to 15 villages dependency on population in at least one cluster of districts and the allotted project should www.ind-safety.com

be allotted to this cluster of villages. All the project could be finished with the help of local population/leaders where in the local population voluntarily comes forward to contribute by way land, subsidized labour, physical help etcetc to make this project a success in their own cluster of villages. In view of recent incidents of earthquakes it becomes imperative for planners and thinkers to modify their laid down norms in the changed scenario and scope of compromises on quality checks are made zero percent and defaulters treated like enemy of the nation. Strict compliance rules on these fronts need to be put in place. We may start at a slower speed without compromising on quality and as per the plans and acquire greater speed in due course and at a high pace once the experiment bears good results. The following criteria and more such requisitions as per need should be made prerequisites of a smart villages cluster:1. Smart Security. 2. Smart traffic control (traffic signal)/only one way roads without crossings etc. 3. Smart & effective emergency response systems. 4. Zero tolerance on crime. 5. Smart policing. 6. Usage of technology like CCTV/ speed monitors/smart surveillance systems. 7. Speed cameras for detecting speeding vehicles. 8. High resolution cameras for detecting stolen vehicles. 9. Equi-distribution of facilities across all corners of cluster. 10. Smart Sewage treatment facilities.

11. Smart rain harvesting/rain water drainage system. 12. Smart and efficient public transport system. 13. Adequate & latest firefighting systems. 14. Disaster management trained officials (only Disaster Management trained officials from paramilitary/NCC be deployed). 15. Renewable energy/Solar Energy systems should be installed. 16. Vehicle emissions should be controlled/private vehicle holding to be controlled by law. 17. Make adequate green areas/ parks/sanctuaries/water bodies mandatory for each cluster. 18. No beggars (All beggars should be provided residential areas (boarding/ lodging) by Government and provided vocational training to sustain life independently). 19. Smart garbage collection/recycling system should be put in place.Different color coded dustbins should be promoted. 20. Provision for seniors’ citizen homes should be made. 21. Smart E- Governance should be put in place. 22. Smart collection of all kind of bills like electricity, gas, water, fares, tolls, property tax etc. should be put in place. 23. Smart/Automated hazard detection, weather forecast, calamities should be put in place 24. Public address system in any emergencies should be put in place. 25. Smart electricity grids compatible with renewable energy systems should be put in place. 26. ‘No vehicle’ areas should be INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MAY 2015 | 87

SECURITY INDUSTRY Âť Tech Update

earmarked. 27. Cycling only zones should be developed. 28. Adequate leisure activities should be developed and provided to public. 29. Latest and affordable medical facilities should be made available. Finally thiscluster of 10/15 villages prepares a blue print of the cluster for roads, infrastructure, Industrial area, educational area, parks, tourism spot development, hospital, water/ sewerages etc. as per requirements as above. All the facilities that the villagers of the cluster can provide from their own resources should also be incorporated in their blue print. There should be various thumb rules as to which cluster of villages out of the cluster of 4/5 districts is allotted a particular project. One of the thumb rules could be that whichever cluster of villages is ready to provide maximum land and financial/other contributions in the execution of the project. The suitability of that cluster for a particular trade/vocation for its maximum participation/utilization should also be kept in mind. The strengths and weaknesses of each cluster from all angles should be weighed at the time of finalizing allotment of project. Likewise every year one or two clusters of villages could be short listed for development of smart and safe cluster of villages. A homogenous project made for next 50 years could start as a small step in paving way in easing burden of villagers drain to cities. A time may come, if the project succeeds that the reverse drain (from cities to villages) eventually takes place in due course of time. The 88 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

whole state shall gain and non-ending process of all states can be chalked out and developed in a dedicated time frame over next decades. This shall help absorb newer upcoming projects/requirements which could be taken up for fulfillment in the next upcoming cluster. This may result in even foreign nations making a beeline to adopt one or more clusters of villages in different states for different streams of professions. For example if a cluster is allotted an Auto manufacturing hub, some foreign country joining â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Made in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; may like to adopt the cluster. Similarly some other countries may vie to join in for education/ medical/ engineering/ IT/ aviation/vocational training hub or any other stream. The major gains of the country from this project may bring a wind fall for the rural school dropout youth belonging to these clusters of villages, who could find ample avenues to take up one vocation or the other and help the nation to grow in the villages rather than depending heavily on the cities. Taking education, skill for vocations etc to villages can well channelize the energies of the youth as a powerful tool for the nation. An educated rural youth will be an asset to the country and even if he shifts to a city he shall prove to be an asset rather than a burden as is happening now. India needs educated population and not literate but uneducated otherwise all the smartness of cities or villages will result in failure. Coming to villages and making their youth educated can only be achieved if we plan smart village and this is the right time under the dynamic and pragmatic leader Mr. Narendra Modi. www.ind-safety.com

Mahindra Defence Implements Smart Surveillance 2.0 for Lucknow City in record time of Six months

ttar Pradesh, India’s most populated state, is home to a staggering 21 crore residents. According to a report tiled Crime in India 2013, which was released byThe National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in June 2014, Uttar Pradesh topped in the lists of various crimes and violations. Shockingly, the report also stated that there are merely78 policemen per lakh of peopleas against UN recommended ratio of 222 policemen.To add worry to woe, the police force is armed with insufficient and outdated resources that are scattered over the sprawling 2.5 lakh-square kilometre area. A Solution for Safety&Security of Citizens The State Government of Uttar Pradesh along with Uttar Pradesh Policehas conceived the use oflatest technologies based on global best practices to design & implement Smart Surveillance for Lucknow City as first step to modernise the police operations for providing better safety & security to its citizens. On 12th April 2015, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, unveiledSmart City Surveillance 90 | MAY 2015 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

project encompasses 70 crossings with 280 cameras installed. Lucknow Police are now integrating CCTV cameras installed by commercial establishments with the Smart Surveillance system to ensure the entire city is covered without excessive financial pressure on the government. “Maintaining public order, crime control and traffic management on streets would be the key focus of this project. I feel that presence of cameras will gradually bring about a positive change among people,” CM Yadav said, hoping for a behavioural change among the citizens. He also said that the installation of CCTV cameras would not only help in maintaining law and order but also for traffic management and crime control. MukulGoel, Additional Director General for Law and Order, elucidated that previously, it would have been impossible to survey mass events for lack of enough traffic policemen on the roads. Mobile surveillance vans equipped with night vision cameras have also been deployed as a part of the project and the cameras can extend up to three metres over the vehicle to capture members of a violent mob. While a total of 280 high-resolution

cameras have been set up at strategic locations across the city, 40 of these have been installed with ANPR technology. The control room staffs have already been awarded ISO certificates. Cameras have been installed with infrared technology that helpsautomaticallyrecognise number plates. This feature was demonstrated by the issue of electronic challans to traffic offenders on the day of the launch. Vehicles that enter or exit Lucknow will fall under the surveillance of these cameras and details of those belonging to wrongdoers can be recorded on the ANPR and remain on a server for a year. This project is titled Drishthi (meaning sight, in Hindi). Mr Goelsaid “This [the Smart City Surveillance project] would be helpful in nabbing criminals, defying them and taking action against them. This will also be very useful in managing traffic violations. We have encouraged businesses to setup CCTV cameras and more than 1,000 are already in place.” Speaking of this revolutionary move of surveying traffic, Additional Superintendent, Durgesh Kumar, said “We can track down the vehicle owner responsible for the accident or chainsnatcher on the run with the help of ANPR if we have registration details.” From daily life hazards such as wrong parking to serious crimes such as

Further, the network of CCTV cameras in Lucknow has already provided important leads in two dozen incidents. Mahindra Defence designed and implemented the surveillance network comprising the aforementioned 280 IP CCTVs, ANPRs, Video Analytics, Mobile Surveillance System, Command Control Centre and Data Centres. These were built with the singular objective of controlling crime in the city, The 7o locations that the project covers in Lucknow includes entry and exit points into the city along with VVIP areas as well as critical andsensitive locations. Mahindra Defence along with Cisco Systems have joined hands in aRs44-crore contract to scale this project. Cisco already has implemented a similar project in Navi Mumbai.

• Police Control Rooms have been set up with trained personnel to monitor data captured by the CCTV cameras 24/7.

Insights • System involves 280 high end CCTV Surveillance cameras • Installation at 70 Critical locations across city • Mobile Surveillance Vehicle with IR PTZ camera installed on 3 mtrs mast & 3G connectivity to control room for display of live feed • World Class Police Central Command & Control Centre with trained operators. • Automatic Number Plate Recognition(ANPR) installed at entry/ exit points to city & important areas • Project design based on Global Best Practices and Technology

SP Shukla, Group President, Mahindra Aerospace and Defence Sector, said, “The Uttar Pradesh Police has set a new benchmark in getting this world class technology system operational in just six months with support from Mahindra Defence as its implementation partner. We thank the UP Government for all the support they have provided to help us achieve this milestone and for taking the lead in implementing a world-class public safety and security technology solution. This project has been an important part of the Mahindra Group’s initiative to support the Government in creating Smart and Safe Cities and we are committed to partnering with the UP Police to ensure smooth running of the system.” Dinesh K Pillai, CEO, Mahindra SSG, noted, “We are delighted to achieve this critical milestone. We were able to complete it within a tight schedule due to theenormous support we got from the UP Police.” Lt Cdr Jasbir Singh Solanki (Retd), Head-Homeland Security and Smart Cities, said, “We worked in partnership with the UP Police to deliver one of the largest and fastest Smart City Surveillance project, which has come to be viewed as a success story for the Homeland industry. This model can also be adopted by various police departments across India in order to create a safe and secure environment in our cities.”

Achievements • Commended as the fastest-implemented Smart City Surveillance project for by an Indian Police department. • From the day of official launch, 500 electronic challans have been handed to traffic offenders.
