CEO CORNER Safety & Security: Maintaining the perfect balance Health and safety regulations also extend to your employer being responsible for implementing measures and procedures to ensure your own personal security. Personal safety breaches such as intruders committing a violent act upon staff are, fortunately, very rare indeed and, due to the nature of business in general, companies have to tread a fine line between ensuring that they are open and accessible to visitors, particularly if those ‘visitors’ are customers and marrying that against their need to make sure that their staff can work in a safe, secure and unthreatening environment. Then, there are also issues which could cause the staff to feel concerned about the actions taken by employers. For example, if an employer was to take personal security to the limit, staff may not take too kindly by being watched constantly from all angles and at all times by CCTV cameras or being followed around by security guards wherever they go as they could claim that this was an invasion of personal privacy. Therefore, although the safety and security of staff must adhere to the laws laid out in relation to health and safety by the Government, it’s important to get the balance right. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes and whilst a threat to your staff’s personal security can occur in premises large and small, the extent to which you’ll need to put security arrangements and procedures in place will vary between companies. Training and awareness should also be implemented so that workers are fully aware of their responsibilities should their security be threatened as well as the resources they have at their disposal. It is compulsory for all businesses to carry out a risk assessment on their premises to ensure that their premises, and the activities they carry out on those premises, are safe. A risk assessment considers what might cause harm and assesses how to protect both customers and employees from the identified risk occurring. Different industries required to provide more in-depth risk assessments depending on the nature of their business and maintain the perfect balance between safety & security of their human assets.

Coca-Cola Trusts Matrix Biometric Device to Secure their Manufacturing Units at Pirangut & Kudus Coca-Cola history began in 1886 and since then it emerged as one of the most valued brands with a net worth $74 billion. The company owns and markets more than 500 beverage brands across 200+ countries. Over the last 23 years, ever since its re-entry in 1993 in India, the company has gone on to establish an unmatched portfolio of beverages. The company along with its bottling partners, through a strong network of over 2.6 million retail outlets, touches the lives of millions of consumers. Its brands are some of the most preferred and most sold beverages in the country.
Challenges: Coca-Cola has established its manufacturing unit in Kudus and Pirangut, Maharashtra, India and was looking for biometric solutions to secure their premises. Coca-Cola required individual
servers at both locations. Their prime requirement was to restrict unauthorized user entry into secured area. Moreover, they require user punch i.e. events for both the locations separately. Both locations didn’t have many power supply ports. Providing separate power to door lock, biometric device and exit switch was a concern. Coca-Cola was in search of a solution where the basic requirements of user events as well as power issue to devices were solved easily.
Solution Offered: In order to overcome the challenge Matrix offered individual software platforms which act as servers for both the locations i.e. Kudus and Pirangut, Maharashtra. In order to resolve power supply port challenge, Matrix offered its premium range of biometric device which itself offers power to door lock and exit switch. Thus, Matrix
biometric solution helped in solving both the challenges faced by Coca-Cola.

COSEC biometric devices have the capability to supply power to door locks and exit switch/reader from the devices itself.
Results: • Restrict Unauthorized User Entry in Secure Premises • Reduction in Cumbersome HR Tasks • Accurate Maintenance of User Data.

Q. Rate of obsolescence is generally very high in the electronic business market, how do you keep pace with the ever changing market expectations and customer’s needs? Time, tide and technology wait for no man. Our world, and particularly the technology world, is characterized by constant flux. In today’s world, change is not something that happens once in every 2-3 years. We are talking of rapid changes that occur every quarter or sometimes every month. From this perspective, today’s businesses grapple with constant change and continuous realignment. One simple rule we follow is to avoid falling in love with our technologies and products. We phase out matured products and move on to cutting-edge technologies early on. Having said this, Matrix has been in the technology business for 25 years now and we have had our share of challenges in managing change. Meeting ever-changing customer expectations requires all-round capabilities. Therefore, changes are not limited only to technologies and products. We are equally relentless in driving changes in other areas including our strategies, people, processes, and infrastructure. For example, recently Matrix R&D moved to being Agile; manufacturing shifted to being lean and we implemented SAP.
Q. The rise in attacks over the years, the government’s response has been inadequate & has failed to effectively counter terrorism with surveillance, intelligence, & first-response measures. In such a scenario, how strong do you think is Government in implementing Security & Surveillance solutions? Government in any county is part of the overall ecosystem in the country. Therefore, instead of talking about what government should do, we should focus on role of technology in mitigating security risks. There are exciting possibilities. First, technologies are improving every day. There are significant enhancements in video resolution, image processing, transmission,
displays, storage, analytics and biometrics. Second, overall infrastructure in terms of servers, cloud, network availability and bandwidth are much better. Third, product companies are building innovative solutions on these technologies. Last, people are realizing the importance of integrating different solutions to overcome real-life scenarios. We can design, build and deploy strong security solutions on these positive factors with more focus on prevention instead of limiting these solutions to only post-mortem analysis.
Q. What is the total size of the Security & Surveillance market in India? To what size do you expect it to grow by 2020? The Security and Surveillance market is witnessing an immense growth from various sectors such as Airport, Railways, Education, BFSI, Hospitality, Oil & Gas, and Infrastructure. Video Surveillance, TimeAttendance, and Access Control are quickly becoming the norm in public spaces and industries. If we include various commercial applications and solutions, the Security and Video Surveillance market in India is about Rs 7,000 crore per annum. It is expected to grow at 18% CAGR between 2017 and 2020.
Q. Would you suggest some change in government policy to help Security and Surveillance business penetration in the country? Government can boost security industry in multiple ways. One, government everywhere is big buyers. If Indian government insists on deploying video surveillance and access control in government and semi-government organizations, the industry growth would accelerate. Wide-spread deployment of security and surveillance solutions in government and public establishments
could also improve quality and productivity of governance and services. Second, government can speed up product standards and certification, ensuring products sold in India meet certain performance specifications. This will improve the quality of security surveillance infrastructure in the country. Last but important, security surveillance is a very large and growing market. We cannot afford losing out on opportunity of creating manufacturing in India. The government should find ways to force/ promote companies to manufacture their products in India.
Q. There is an ongoing debate among the stakeholders about increasing FDI cap in defense to 49 or to even 100 percent. How do you think it can impact the homeland security business and what could be its repercussions? National defense is a very serious matter and I am not a defense expert. It would be irresponsible on my part to comment superfluously on such an important subject. At the end of the day, this is about balancing security concerns against benefits from defense and manufacturing technologies. If we can somehow mitigate security risks, it looks sensible to allow higher FDI to foreign companies who are ready to invest in core manufacturing in India.
Q. The industry is now moving from analogue to IP-based solutions, what do you think could be the opportunities and challenges for customers? Video Surveillance and Access Control solutions are evolving from age old bulk centralized panels to distributed architecture using IP based intelligent controllers. Software applications are web based and support mobile applications. IP, Wireless, Mobility, and Cloud are the technology trends driving innovation. More and more solutions are moving to IP and offer wireless connectivity. As bandwidth bottlenecks are being removed, NOVEMBER 2017 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

enterprise applications are moving to the Cloud eliminating customer premise hardware, servers, and software. The major challenges for customers are their existing investments in legacy technologies, new investments, acquiring new methodologies and retraining and organization change management. Most progressive organizations are aware about the bottlenecks of their existing legacy solutions and the benefits the new technologies offer such as superior performance, better control, seamless integration, faster decisions, quick response, incidents prevention, improved productivity, higher safety/security of human and physical assets, and better compliance.
Q. What are the other trends that are gaining popularity in the Indian Security & Surveillance Market? In video surveillance, organizations are moving to IP by replacing their Analog solutions. With this, Analog DVRs are being replaced by IP Network Video Recorders. Image resolution is increasing to 2MP and 3MP. Video codec H.265 is also becoming the norm. Video is storage hungry and storage was always a constraint. But now, higher capacity hard disks are increasing storage capacity. Another big trend is more and more multi-location organizations are investing in VMS to integrate and centralize their existing isolated legacy solutions installed, maintained and used separately. Video analytics is another exciting area where analytics are becoming more reliable and therefore useful for reallife applications. Moreover, we are also seeing new-generation analytics bringing opportunities to solve previously unsolved problems. Some of these analytics such as face recognition are erasing the boundaries between video surveillance and biometric technologies. Users are moving from desktop and laptop to mobile as their choice of device to use their video surveillance applications, fueling the need for innovative mobile apps. Need of automating the security and enhancing productivity by smart

identification are gaining popularity. We have gone a step forward and allowed complete flexibility to customers for creating real-life scenarios by using IVA and integrations to automate identification as well as notifications based on scenario. In biometric and people mobility space, more organizations are realizing limitations of their existing RF card based solutions and moving to biometric solutions based on finger, palm, face or iris. Customers are demanding innovative solutions on integration with ERP, CRM, Google Maps, etc. Again, customers are demanding integration with Video Surveillance, Building Management (BMS), and ERP. Moreover, Cloud based SaaS model is also gaining popularity in security solutions. Besides automating the processes, organizations are also shifting from scattered and localized monitoring to centralized monitoring. Centralized control helps synchronize the organization, gives higher control to management besides providing enhanced data security. These also improve processes and increases efficiency manifold.
Q. What are the most lucrative customer segments in terms of demand for your company? We live in an era where all aspects of our life are technology enabled and technology driven. Security and safety are the most fundamental motivators, and therefore, of prime importance for all organizations. Matrix SATATYA is a family of video surveillance solutions including IP cameras, NVRs, VMS, mobile apps, etc. Matrix COSEC is a family of People Mobility Management solutions including biometric readers, controllers, panels, centralized application servers, mobile apps, etc. Both these portfolios offer modular architecture, allowing customers to pick and choose applications relevant to their business. The significant sectors are Infrastructure, Manufacturing, BFSI, Transport, Retail, and Hospitality. Both Matrix SATATYA and Matrix COSEC are designed to meet Video Surveillance and People Mobility Management (access control and
time-attendance) of any organization irrespective of its size, locations, layouts, and time zones.
Q. What are your plans for the next 5 years? Is there anything new in the pipeline? Matrix is focused on three technology domains – IP Video Surveillance, People Mobility Management solutions (Access Control, Time-Attendance, Visitor Management, etc.) and Telecom. All these solutions are targeted to the same customers – modern enterprises, SMEs and SMBs. We are busy developing cuttingedge technologies and solutions and taking them to the international and domestic markets. It is a journey we started 25 years ago and are enjoying it so far. We are investing in our people, processes, products, infrastructure, and culture to build a world class organization. In Video Surveillance domain, Video Analytics play a key role in foreseeing and identifying incidents, dangers and threats. There are three advancements we look forward to happening in our Security and Surveillance domain. Cognitive Responsive Engine with Automated Monitoring (CREAM) will help humans in automating surveillance that will not just analyze the events but also monitor and instantly respond to the events. With increasing vehicle population, Vehicle Tracking and Management is a must to ensure end-to-end security. For this, we have developed a Parking Management solution which covers areas like Unauthorized Parking, Wrong Way Detection, Empty Parking Spots Guidance, etc. We plan to bring more of such analytics that solve dayto-day challenges faced by organizations. People mobility is another domain we are focusing on. We are building multiple solutions to take care of various people mobility scenarios in organizations such as Crowd Management, Field Movement, Cafeteria, Work Flow and Job Processing, Time-Attendance, Visitor Management, etc. We plan to integrate new technologies in biometrics and access to respond quickly in crucial times.

anufacturing over the past few years has been focal to the government’s ambitions of making India an attractive destination for investment. Its much fabled ‘Make in India’ campaign has dedicated itself towards establishing the nation as a perennial powerhouse in the global manufacturing segment. Today, India is the 6th largest manufacturing country in the world, with FDI (foreign direct investment) inflows touching $60 billion in 2016 – 17, the highest ever annual inflow. Its manufacturing sector accounted for just 16-17% of gross domestic product (GDP), a testimony of the nation’s untapped market potential. Global manufacturing landscape on the other hand is rapidly being transformed by digital technologies such as the ‘internet of things’ and ‘robotics’ which collectively are being referred to as the 4th industrial revolution or ‘Industry 4.0’. The term was coined 6 years ago in Germany from a national government project, which sought onto improving the computerization and innovation of manufacturing in the country. Whilst the revolution that preceded it was all about automation of isolated machines, industry 4.0 concentrates on end to end digitization of all physical aspects that make up the digital ecosystem. This concept is the heart and soul of the smart factory which constitutes of real time connections between humans, machines and objects. With the gradual shift in technology and internet penetration, the fourth industrial revolution is all set to ride the digital wave of growth and expansion, with automation and robotics at the heart of it. Although the very idea of automation has shaken some economies, because of the predicted disruption it will cause within the walls of the employment market, a much acceptable response for the same is ‘Robots should be able to do what humans can’t’. What industry 4.0 is essentially doing, is altering the cost of economics of manufacturing and competitiveness some countries possess due to the low cost of their labour. Large amounts of efficiency and productive gains are being realized through cost reductions,

quality improvements and customization. At 27%, our nation stands slightly behind the global average of 33% in terms of level of digitization encapsulated within its economy. However, India has a number of factors running in its favour which includes a huge growing market, large labour workforce with diverse skills, demographic dividend, R&D centres of over 1000 multinationals and the world’s third largest technology startup base. These factors when merged with India’s advantageous ecosystem can have far reaching implications on productivity, employment and holistic well – being. They are leading to structural shifts in global manufacturing such as: blurring lines between products, services digital services have become the growth drivers for manufacturers across. With the rapid growth of exchange of products on digital platforms such as Amazon is enabling the creation of a digital marketplace, which in turn is reducing the focused investment on individual asset supply chains. India has the potential to become the digital factory of the world by being at the forefront of change and adoption of the global digital revolution. For that
to materialize, the country needs a new policy to incentivize the adoption of such technologies and develop the infrastructural ecosystem whilst meeting the requisite skills gap, and ensuring employment for millions entering the job market. The new facets of ‘Make in India’ should now focus on growing digital services. Worldwide the trade in digital services is growing faster than trade in goods and traditional services. The mass availability of devices with the capability of working under the concept of IoT and advancement within the sphere of 3D printing, is shifting the potential life cycle value from equipment manufacturers to service providers. India is looking ahead towards capturing 20% of the $300 billion IoT market by 2020, as the value of digital services continue to bolster we will now have to leverage the advantage we have built globally within the IT sector. By reiterating the requisite set of skills and pushing them in the direction of areas such big data analytics and cyber security, will help us win a considerable pie of the global digital services and aid in digitizing our economic and manufacturing capabilities.

fter the summer break school started as usual. However, the lunch line had shrunk because of the introduction of fingerprint based biometrics system for payment of lunch they have. This technology is completely cashless. The system requires a fingerprint based biometric reader as the hardware and cafeteria management software, which runs on the hardware and manages the process of balance enrolment, student database, blocked user, etc. This system did it all for the snail-paced queue to lumber into efficient cashless transactions, saving time and effort.
security, this system works in post-paid and pre-paid mode of payment. In the post-paid mode students’ biometrics are already enrolled in the school database with a particular amount allocated to each student. Whenever a student punches at the cafeteria, an amount is deducted from his/her account in real-time according to the order placed by him/her. In the pre-paid mode, RFID cards are allocated to each student with a fixed amount stored in it. Every time a student punches with the card, amount with respect to the order placed is deducted from his/her account.
gather an idea about the food consumption through reports, of user-wise consumption on a monthly or weekly basis, which can be generated from the software.

T
he Indian banking sector has undergone a transformation. Banks are gradually lowering the number of branches and increased capability in terms of their existing infrastructure, according to Gartner report. Today, big corporate banks are investing heavily in their security infrastructure to strengthen security and surveillance. With the development in surveillance & security infrastructure, along with big corporate banks, government & PSU banks have also decided to achieve integrated monitoring and also adopting and upgrading their security infrastructure. Governments has also announced a massive capital infusion plan of Rs 2.11 Lakh Crore over the next two years for the public sector banks (PSBs). It can be assumed that the idea behind that would be the lending capacity & to ensure also focusing towards upgrading the security infrastructure. Many public banks are still using outdated security equipment that are playing the roles of passive protectors and may not be able to sense impending danger. Due to government emphasizing on secure India & with the rise

Intelligent VEEM (Vehicle Entry Exit Management) System for KPIT Technologies
K
PIT, a multinational technology company headquartered at Pune, is operational 24 hours a day with over 12,000 employees and guests. At any given time, large number of employees working in shifts enter / exit the premise through main gates. Any delay caused due to operational issues of the entry/exit system affects overall organizational productivity. KPIT had deployed RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) based system, various operations challenges hampered smooth entry / exit of vehicles. Challenges like scanning RFID tags to trigger boom barrier was a time-consuming entry process. It caused regular congestion and pollution at the premise gates as well as on adjacent roads. The congestion resulted in considerable delay in employees reaching their workstation. Lack of adequate reporting tools, information on vehicles entering / exiting the premise and susceptibility to varying weather conditions posed additional challenges. KPIT required entry / exit solution with proven track record to address their concerns with capability of ease of operations and seamless integration with existing systems.
providing soft pillars, and speed breakers in each lane to ensure driving discipline to enhance the overall accuracy of the software. The VEEM software also kept a record of each vehicle entry/exit with a date, time stamp and a video clip recording for security/audit purposes. The integrated VEEM software was programmed to identity each vehicle through number plate recognition and determine whether it belonged to an employee or a visitor. All the monitoring was done through a command control room located at KPIT premise only.
Solution: Having met with KPIT a number of times to appreciate the issues faced and fully define the requirements of both the company and its employees, Videonetics proposed a solution that met the challenges that KPIT were facing. Videonetics deployed (VEEM Vehicle Entry-Exit Management) Software, comprising multiple IR and ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition) enabled cameras which were installed to face the entry/ exit gates, and capture the front number plate of the vehicles entering/exiting through these gates. The existing boom-barriers at the employees section were modeled to be synchronized with the VEEM software by allowing entry to only those vehicles which were registered in the database. KPIT being a controlled environment, it was possible to ensure ideal conditions by

Results: • No Congestion at gates: The fast and automatic entry/exit management by the VEEM software eliminated congestion at the building gates and adjacent roads. It reduced parking delays by ensuring clear lanes around the parking premises. Separate parking areas for employees and visitors made locating vehicles easier. • Secure premises: The database containing lists of pre-registered vehicles enabled
employees with more than one vehicle to register them under their different license plates. Thus, there was no scope of presence of any unwanted/un-listed vehicle in the employees’ parking area. Any vehicle could be located very easily by checking the system database, and exact timings of its entry and exit could be checked and reviewed. The solution was able to secure the premises 24/7 by capturing vehicle key details and all the footage was well secured at the command control room. • Precision in every reports generation: After the successful implementation of VEEM, event reports have been tested and demonstrated in both day and night modes with 80% accuracy in overall execution. Patterns and exceptions were also monitored and managed. Space management became easier by monitoring reports on which vehicles have left and which still remain on the premises. • Reduced installation cost and higher durability: The open architecture of the software provided flexibility to engage any system and synchronize with their existing mechanism, reducing installation cost, and enabling it to operate with the current boom barriers flawlessly. The cameras are built to withstand any harsh weather conditions as they are specially made for Indian environment, making them economic and durable.

n operational practice for production companies, machines and plants are often converted, modernised and expanded over the years. A professional assessment then needs to be carried out to determine whether the machines still comply with the latest guidelines and regulations. Companies also often aim to introduce company-specific group standards in machine safety which are to be applied to all production sites around the world. A safety technology audit of the machinery installed is also useful in these cases. An example: A globally active phar-maceuticals and consumer goods company has taken over an international company. After the merger, conformity with safety-related requirements is to be examined. The safety assessment commissioned from the solution consultants, who are mainly certified as Functional Safety Engineers by TĂœV Rheinland, covered over 2000 machines across various sites in Europe. In another case, an automotive supplier commissioned the solution consultants with a regular inspection of 450 safety light curtains & light grids in its production company.

Safety in Handling Hazardous Chemicals “There is no compromise on even the smallest matter concerning safety has to be inculcated in people.” - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Lack of safety measures along with a limited knowledge of potential hazards of chemicals often lead to several dangerous incidents and fatalities in the chemical industry. It may be remembered here that many of the accidents in chemical industry are caused due to improper storage, handling and transportation ignoring all safety norms. Though various operations in this industries can now be conducted in very safe conditions, accidents cannot possibly totally prevented. Attempts should therefore be made to minimise the accidents including their impact. Classification, labelling and storage of chemicals is the first and the foremost procedure to be adopted for containing the potential chemical hazards. Various classification systems for hazardous chemicals are available and the most universally accepted system is the UN Classification System. Labels on containers of hazardous substances provide the first alert that a substance is hazardous, and should provide basic information about safe handling procedures to be followed, protective measures to be taken, emergency first aid required and the potential chemical hazards involved. Chemicals may be explosive, oxidising, flammable, toxic, corrosive, irritant, carcinogenic, radioactive, infectious, etc. However, due to limitations of space, this article will deal only with the safety aspects relating to storage and handling of selected classes of hazardous chemicals.
2.0 CHEMICAL STORAGE: A variety of statutory regulations exists for the storage of chemicals. It is essential that one should be acquainted with the classifications and know the category in which the chemicals fall. While storing such substances it is to be ensured that their hazardous properties are not to cause physical injury or material damage. In other
66
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
cases, it must be ensured that the hazardous substances does not react with other stored substances. Prevention of unauthorised access to the stored materials should also be ensured. Certain substances may present more than one hazardous property, viz. benzene. The storage measures necessitated by one hazardous property may in some cases, be sufficient to ensure that the substances is stored safely from all point of view. However, this may not be always so, consequently, when establishing storage facilities and procedures, all of substance’s hazards should be taken into consideration. An outline of the general storage requirement for each of the main classes of hazardous chemicals is given below: 2.1 Explosive Substances: Explosive substances are chemicals and mixtures which, when affected by strong mechanical force (hitting, shock, friction) or starting ignition, suddenly transform to gases of large volume through an extremely rapid oxidizing reaction. The storage places should be situated far away from other buildings or structures so as to minimise damage in case of an explosion. The store rooms should be of solid construction and kept securely locked when not in use. No store should be near a building containing grease, oil, petrol, waste combustible material or flammable material, open fire or flame. Magazines should be preferably be located 60 meters away from any power plant, tunnel, highway, dam or buildings. The storage place should not be damp and should be well-ventilated. Natural lighting or portable electric lamps should be used. Floors should of wood or other nonsparking material. Non-ferrous tools should be used for opening cases of magazines. 2.2 Oxidising Substances: Oxidizing substance are substances, which
supply oxygen and do therefore readily assist and maintain combustion. Some of the oxidising substances may give off oxygen at storage temperature; and others require heat. Examples of oxidising substances are oxygen, chlorine and peroxide compounds. These chemicals will support a fire and are highly reactive. The risk of fire as a result of mix-up of oxidising substances with combustible materials may be avoided by storing oxidising materials in a separate storage place. Powerful oxidising substances should not be stored near to even slightly flammable materials. The storage area should be kept cool, well ventilated and be of fire resisting construction. 2.3 Flammable Substances: Flammable means able to ignite and burn readily. Generally it relates liquids with a flash point of 21 Degree Celsius or higher, but below 55 Degree Celsius. Flammable gases and liquids can be extremely hazardous in the workplace. Flammable gases, (viz. Hydrogen, Propane, Butane, Ethylene, Acetylene, Hydrogen Sulphide, Coal Gas, Ethane, Hydrogen Cyanide, Cyanogen, etc.) and liquids with low flash points should be stored in place which are cool enough to prevent accidental ignition if the vapour mix with the air. Examples of flammable gases and liquids are: (i) Gases (LPG, Camping Gas) and (ii) Liquids (Hydrocarbon Solvents, Alcohols, Ketones). The storage area should be away from any source of heat or fire hazard. Highly flammable materials should be kept apart from powerful oxidising agents or spontaneously combustible materials. No open light or flames should be permitted. Flameproof electrical light fittings should be used. The installation in the storage room should be electrically grounded and periodically inspected and equipped with automatic smoke or fire detection devices.
TECH UPDATE
Control valves on storage vessels and pipelines should be labelled and painted with distinctive safety colours. Tanks containing flammable liquids should be situated on ground stopping away from the main buildings and plant installations. If they are on the level ground, adequate spacing and provision of dikes are needed. The dike capacity should be 1.5 times that of the storage tank. Venting facilities and flame arrestors on storage tanks should be provided. Adequate firefighting facilities should be provided. The area should be prohibited for smoking. 2.4 Corrosive Substances: Corrosive substances are products that will attack and/or eat away skin, metals etc. They begin to cause damage as soon as they touch the skin, eyes, respiratory tract or digestive tract. It can burn or destroy human tissues on contact and can even effect such as permanent scarring or blindness. They can also damage or even destroy metal. Corrosives (viz. Hydrogen Floride, Sulphuric Acid, Nitric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Formic Acid, Chloric Acid, etc.) should be kept cool but well above their freezing point. Storage areas should be isolated from the rest of the plant or warehouse by impervious walls or floor with provision for safe disposal of spillage. The floors should be cinders, concrete treated to reduce its solubility. Carboys containing corrosive acids should be packed with effective inorganic insulating materials. Emergency showers and eyewash fountains should be provided close to the storage area. 2.5 Toxic Substances: Toxic Substances are substance, which may cause harmful effects by absorption into the body by (i) inhalation (breathing) the vapour or mist, (ii) absorption through skin and (iii) ingestion (entry into mouth and swallowing). Storage areas should be well ventilated for possible leakage of volatile liquids. The materials should be stored in a cool, well ventilated place out of direct rays of sun, and away from all sources of ignition and flame. Substances which can react chemically with each other should be kept in separate stores.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
3.0 CHEMICAL SPILLAGE: Spillage is the most common in chemical industry. The more dangerous a substance is, the more important it is to device actions to be taken in the event of its sudden leakage or discharge to the surrounding. The following methods may be used for dealing with chemical spills: 1. For Organic Acid Halides (viz. Acetyl Chloride, Benzoyl Chloride, Crotyl Chloride) and Inorganic Halides, Anhydrous Aluminium Chloride, Chloro Sulphonic Acid, Tin Tetrachloride, Titanium Tetrachloride), cover with Sodium Bicarbonate. Scoop the resulting bicarbonate mixture into a cardboard box for subsequent incineration or spread on the ground and flood with water. 2. For Aldehydes (viz. Acetaldehydes, Acrolein, Benzaldehyde, Chloral, Formalin, Furfural, Glyoxal), eliminate all sources of ignition and flammables. Cover large quantities with Sodium Bisulphate. Add a small quantity of water and mix. After one hour wash down the drain with excess water. 3. For Inorganic Acids (viz, Sulphuric Acid, Phosphoric acid, Hydrochloric Acid), eliminate all sources of ignition and flammables. Cover surfaces with Nitrogen dioxide, Carbon trioxide, or Sodium Bicarbonate. Mix and add water. Scoop slurry and make it neutral by washing with water. 4. For Organic Halogens and related compounds (viz. Allyl Bromide, Benzyl Chloride, Bromomethane, Chlorodiphenyl, Dieldrin, Epichlorihydrin, Tetramethyllead, Vinyl Chloride), eliminate all sources of ignition. Absorb the material on paper or vermiculite. Allow to evaporate and burn the paper or vermiculite. 5. For Aromatic Halogenated Amines and Nitro Compounds (viz. Chlorophenols, Dichlorobenzene, Endrin, Nitrophenols, Picric Acids), sweep solids spills onto paper or absorb on paper or vermiculite, evaporate, burn the paper. Absorb or mix large quantities with vermiculite, Sodium Bicarbonate, or sand. Pack the material in a paper, carton and burn in an open pit. 6. For liquid or solid form of Aliphatic Amines (viz. Allylamine, Diethanolamine,
Hydroxylamine, Pyrrolidine), cover with Sodium Bisulphate. Spray with water and wash down the drain with large quantities of water.
4.0 GENERAL RULES: There are certain general rules for storage and handling of chemicals, which should be scrupulously followed in any situation: 1. All containers must be labelled. 2. No food or drinking water should be stored near the hazardous chemicals. 3. Valves and pressurised air and vacuum lines should be turned off when these services are not in use. 4. Chemicals should never be allowed to accumulate on working benches or fume cupboard in the laboratory. It should be remembered that the fume cupboards are not meant for storage of chemicals. 5. Winchester bottles containing hazardous chemicals like, strong acids should never be lifted by the neck and carried but transported in special containers or buckets. 6. While highly volatile liquids are stored, any electric light fittings or apparatus should be of flameproof construction. 7. No open flames should be permitted to or near the storage place. Solvents should never be handled near an open flame. 8. Organic vapours and combustible gasses (viz. Hydrogen, Acetylene, Ethylene, Ethylene Oxide, Methyl Ether, etc.), should be kept away from motors, transformers, and switches. When dealing with large amounts of volatile solvents in metallic systems, the apparatus and the container should be bonded and grounded. 9. Large quantities of solvents should never be stored in a working area, nor work carried out in a storage area. 10. It is to be ensured that normal escape routes for a pressure build-up is not pointed towards operating personnel. Safety shields should be provided in front of all explosive reactions. 11. High pressure tanks should be transferred only on cart and with cap in place. On removing from the cart for use, the tank should be strapped, firmly to a wall or bench and the gas released
TECH UPDATE
through a reducing valve. Never attempt to fill an empty gas cylinder unless it has been pumped down to 1 mm pressure. 12. Acquaintance with First Aid and Fire Control Equipment should definitely resorted to. 13. Use of protective equipment such as shatterproof safety glasses, face masks, etc. should be resorted to as and when required. 14. Gloves (rubber for corrosive substances, neoprene or butyl rubber for solvents), should be used while handling hazardous chemicals.
5.0 CONCLUSION: The storage of hazardous substances should be supervised by a competent trained person. All workers in this area should be trained in safe working practice. Permit system should be adhered to. A periodic inspection of all storage places should be carried out by the safety officer. Rigorous maintenance and good housekeeping are essential. Human dimension is an important factor in most accidents. As such safe practices have to be a way of life and an attitude of mind needs to be built into the person concerned. This calls for a rigorous discipline, concern and responsibility, attention to detail an attitude, not to ignore some of the simplest “Do’s and Don’ts”. That there is no compromise on even the smallest matter concerning safety has to be inculcated in people.

Clean Agents for Fire Suppression “Awareness created by a group of international scientists on Global Warming triggered the development of Clean Agents for fire suppression.” – Vinod Alappad 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Genuine concern for safety of personnel, plant and property has led to the innovation of reliable fire extinguishers, fire extinguishing systems and firefighting equipment. To suppress, contain, control and extinguish fires various fire extinguishing agents and systems have been produced. Some of the most widely used and accepted fire extinguishing agents are: Foam Compounds, Dry Chemical Powders and Gas Systems. Different types of foam compounds are available for specific situations of fire hazards. For getting optimum efficiency from foam compounds, appropriate foam producing and delivering equipment, on the burning surface, should be used. Though the foam compounds have many advantages, such as it can be effectively used to extinguish burning flammable or combustible liquid spills or tank fires, it cannot be used for electrical fires. Dry Chemical Powder is recognised for its efficiency in extinguishing fires in flammable liquids. It can also be used effectively on fires involving plastic and in dry electrical installations. Dry chemical powders can be conveniently applied by means of portable extinguishers, hand hose line systems or fixed firefighting systems. As foam compounds and dry chemical powders leave lot of residue and cannot be used in all electrical installations, gas based systems were introduced in the fire extinguishing. Gas based systems mostly consists of Halons. The most popular halons used in fire extinguishing are Halon 1211, Halon 1301 and Halon 2402. They are normally used in high value equipment areas such as control rooms, electronic and EDP type installations and also in cabinet and false flooring below controls rooms. Though halons are very effective and powerful
72

fire extinguishing agent, they have to be discontinued mainly due to its high Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP). As the halons are being phased out of production, search went on for alternatives and in this contest few chemicals have been developed. They are environmentally acceptable alternative compounds for halons and popularly known as “Clean Agents”. This article will give a brief outline of various clean agents used for fire extinguishment.
2.0 CLEAN AGENTS: According to NFPA 2001 Standard, a clean agent is “an electrically non-conductive, volatile or gaseous fire extinguishment that does not leave residue upon evaporation”. Some of the popular clean agents used in fire suppression systems are: Carbon Dioxide; IG–541 (Inergen); IG–55 (Argonite); HCFC– 124 (FE–241); HFC–125 (FE–25); HFC– 227ea; HFC–236fa and NOVEC Physical and Chemical properties of these chemicals; their effectiveness in fire suppression and how they are environment friendly are outlined below: 2.1 Carbon Dioxide: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is still considered by many to be the original clean agent. It is a naturally occurring, colourless, odourless, electrically non-conductive inert gas. Its Chemical Formula is CO2. Its CAS No. is 690-39-1. It has a Molecular Weight of 44.01. Its Boiling Point is –109 Degree Celsius. Its Liquid Density is 2.153. It has a Vapour Pressure of 850 kpa at 25 Degree Celsius. CO2 is used in both total flooding and streaming applications. Extinguishment by carbon dioxide is accomplished by reducing the concentration of oxygen, and the vapour phase of the fuel, in the fire area below the
quantity required to sustain combustion. CO2 discharge, when present in quantities sufficient to extinguish fire, can create conditions of reduced visibility and low oxygen content. Therefore safeguards should be put in place to protect personnel. CO2 is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas and has ODP of zero and atmospheric lifetime of approximately 120 years. CO2 is the benchmark used for evaluating GWP effect of other agents. Some of the leading manufacturers of CO2 on the world are Ansul Incorporated, Fike Corporation, Kidde Safety, and Badger Fire Protection, etc. 2.2 IG–541 (Inergen): IG–541 is an inert gas used in total flooding applications. Inergen® is the trade name given by Ansul Incorporated for IG–541. It is a colourless, odourless mixture of naturally occurring atmospheric gases. IG–541 contains 52 % Nitrogen, 40 % Argon and 8 % Carbon dioxide. Its Boiling Point is –320 Degree Celsius. Its Vapour Density is 1 (Air=1). It has a Vapour Pressure of 2205 psi at 21.1 Degree Celsius. IG–541 reduces the oxygen content to approximately 12.5 %, i.e. below the required level of oxygen to sustain combustion, and increases the carbon dioxide level to 3 %. The increased level of carbon dioxide in the environment stimulates the respiratory rate and the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, thus compensating for the decreased oxygen level. As a result IG–541 is safe for use in occupied spaces. IG–541 has Zero ODP and Zero GWP and does not decompose on application to a flaming fire. 2.3 IG–55 (Argonite): IG–55 is an inert gas used in total flooding

SEVO Systems, Inc., utilizes the NOVEC 1230™ for their systems which is known as SECO 1230. Systems manufactured by TYCO safety products that use NOVEC 1230 fluid is known as Sapphire.
3.0 CONCLUSION: Foam compounds, Dry Chemicals Powders and Gas Based Systems are widely used for fire extinguishing, which caused not only global warming as a result of ozone depletion, but also resulted in the damage of equipment and systems. Awareness created by a group of international scientists on Global Warming triggered the development of Clean Agents for fire suppression. The Montreal Protocol which called for drastic reduction in the production of Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC’s) and Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC’s) forced many manufactures to discard the CFC and HCFC based products with a time frame and develop alternative products. Although several clean agents were developed, many of them are not 100% environment friendly, retrofit and ideal substitutes. Of course NOVEC seems to have an edge over other clean agents. However, it is too costly.

G will provide unbelievably fast broadband speeds. More importantly, it will have enough capacity, wherever you go, to perform every function you want it to, without a drop in speed or connection and that too regardless of how many people are connected at the same time.
The evolution of Cellular Systems As Cellular Systems have evolved, each generation has bettered the performance of the earlier generations. • First generation 1G: These phones were analogue and were the first mobile or cellular phones to be used. Although revolutionary in their time they offered very low levels of spectrum efficiency and security.
• Second generation 2G: These were based around digital technology and offered much better spectrum efficiency, security and new features such as text messages and low data rate communications. • Third generation 3G: The aim of this technology was to provide high speed data. The original technology was enhanced to allow data up to 14 Mbps and more. • Fourth generation 4G: This is an all-IP based technology capable of providing data rates up to 1 Gbps. Presently they offer internet speeds of up to 150Mbps in areas that offer double LTE and LTE-A (or 4G+ on EE). This is likely to increase to 300Mbps. • The future - Fifth generation 5G: This will provide significant gains over 3G/4G. 5G technology will ensure far better levels of connectivity and coverage. It will provide a true ‘wireless world wide web’ (wwww ). In order to achieve this, new methods of connecting will be required. 5G technology will need to address the main drawbacks of previous generations viz lack of coverage, dropped calls and low performance at the edge of the cell.
5G 5G technology will use Open Transport Protocol (OTP). OTP is supported by Transport and Session layer. The application layer will be for quality of service management over various types of networks. 5G will bring forward a
real wireless world - wireless world wide web (wwww). 5G will allow for faster service, less latency, and will enable more devices to be connected across the globe. This high speed network will support the massive growth of IoT(Internet of Things), and enable devices to communicate with each other seamlessly through the convergence of mobile communications and computing. 5G will run on a new “high-spectrum band”, which uses higher frequency signals than 4G. The new band will be much less congested than at present. This will be vital for use with the ‘Internet of Things’. However, as the signals will not be able to travel far, there will be need for more access points, positioned closer together.
Target Features of 5G • 1 Gb/s or more data rates to support ultrahigh definition video and virtual reality applications • Less than one millisecond latency to support real time communications • Seamless delivery of services across licensed and unlicensed spectrum • Standard – IP broadband LAN/W AN/PAN & WWWW • Always-on user experiences • Support for billions of users, or M2M systems • Energy consumption expected to be considerably reduced to improve upon M2M device battery life. Nearly 90% reduction in network energy usage. • Real time performance – Fast response, low jitter, latency & delay • Supports IoT & M2M - 100 times more connected devices.
5G applications • People and Devices will stay ‘connected’ anywhere anytime. This will make the world a real Wi Fi zone. • Mobile IP address will be assigned as per

Remote education will become easier - a student sitting in any part of world can attend the class. Remote diagnostics - a doctor can advise a patient located in a remote part of the world. Governmental organization and investigating offers can monitor any part of the world – potential reduction in crime rate. Potential to promptly detect and alert the concerned authorities and individuals in the event of natural disasters like tsunami, earthquake etc. Faster and more robust networks would imply better quality images for both surveillance and analytics.
Implications for security 5G networks will bring a whole new array of opportunities to the security industry. The faster and more robust network would mean more connected and autonomous devices and systems, as well as better quality images and faster streaming. Video surveillance and I.o.T .are tied together, as products such as cameras and recorders have predominantly moved to IP and are connected together on the Internet. Gathering information through analytics will become more main stream, as the data produced will provide more information and more knowledge. This in turn

will help organizations evolve better business strategy plans.
Future applications With fast wireless connection for cloud computing, data services, and other connected devices, 5G can facilitate a range of advanced capabilities, user experiences and devices. A few examples are listed below: • self-driving cars with built-in intelligent traffic routing • improved city infrastructures • intelligent machines and sensors • augmented reality and more.
Summary • 5G network promises faster service, less latency, and enables more devices to be connected across the globe. • 5G will support the massive growth of the ‘Internet of Things’ and enable devices to communicate with each other seamlessly through the convergence of mobile communications and computing. • 5G would be a technology that is “just there”, like any utility, be it electricity or plumbing. • It will enable device manufacturers to realise the Internet of Things as it will always be on. • Security players are likely to face certain challenges such as storage issues to manage data and hardware compatibility.

5 Industrial Safety Tips you must implement at your workplace
O
ne of the most dangerous accidents that can occur in any industrial facility is an electrical fire. Explosions and industrial fires cost the companies millions of dollars and put the employees’ lives at risk. Let us look at 5 safety tips that will help in preventing electrical fires that may be caused due to a faulty electrical system or similar reasons.
1. Assess your Preparedness Don’t just presume that you are ready for incidents like fire accidents. In fact, conduct thorough inspections and safety audits to unearth vulnerabilities that your facility
82
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
may be exposed to. Place special attention on areas and workers that are at a higher risk of explosions, fires and the like. For instance, employees performing hot work like welding are at a higher risk since they may be exposed to flammable materials. Identify the fire protection equipment that has crossed its lifespan or is malfunctioning and replace them with new equipment or machinery that is still in a good, working condition.
2. Prevent Combustible Dust and Hot Work Accidents Combustible dust is one of the major
reasons of fire in several industries. Materials like metals, chemicals, dyes, etc., have the potential to be combustible in dust form — even if they are not present in large amounts. Once the combustible dust comes in contact with an ignition source, a primary explosion will occur, causing the dust to become airborne. This dust cloud itself can ignite, causing a secondary explosion that may be extremely severe — some of which can have the potential to bring down entire facilities. This can be avoided by training your personnel and ensuring that the workspace
TECH UPDATE
is clear of flammable or combustible materials. Have supervisors on the floor to make sure everything is working in order. Use a written permit system for all hot work projects, even where permits aren’t required. Use electrical circuit breakers wherever necessary as they help in protecting wiring, appliances and properties against fire hazards by tripping and opening the circuit automatically when the heat or electricity flowing through the circuit exceeds a pre-set limit.
3. Prevent Flammable Liquid and Gas Incidents You can mitigate fire risks presented by flammable liquids and gases by taking the following measures: • Understand the safety information for materials in your facility as it will give you a good idea on how to handle them to prevent potential accidents. • Store all the hazardous and flammable materials according to OSHA-compliant procedures. • Ensure all the ignition sources are carefully controlled. When you are heating the flammable materials intentionally, make sure the ignition sources are kept as far as possible. • Protective equipment must be a part of every employee’s gear to prevent fire hazards, especially when flammable liquids and gases are used.
4. Prevent Electrical Fire Hazards Strategies to prevent electrical hazards can be divided into three primary categories: - Awareness Be aware of different electrical risks in order to prevent them. Conduct regular safety awareness programs for your employees so that they understand what risks they must watch out for and what actions must be taken when the risk is identified. - Cleaning and Housekeeping It is imperative that you keep the machinery, electrical materials and the
86
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
area around it clean. Grease or dirt of any kind poses a huge risk as it can act as fuel in case of fire. - Maintenance Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures for all of the equipment and machinery in your plant. Regular maintenance won’t just reduce the risk of fire by preventing overheating of equipment but it also keeps the equipment working in their best condition. Make sure you use safety switches in order to prevent electrical hazards. They monitor the electrical flow of the current and, in case of irregularities, the switch will automatically trip and stop the power supply to the electrical device.
5. Make Fire Safety a Part of your Operations - Conduct a hazard analysis Conduct a hazard analysis of the entire facility to understand and identify the areas where the greatest risk lie. This will help you better understand how to address them and tackle the issue in the early stages. Reanalyze the operations regularly and cross-check the requirements of NFPA 652, which includes Dust Hazard Analysis (DHA). - Establish emergency procedures Have the necessary procedures and policies in place. They must cover things like smoking, emergency evacuation plan, allocating emergency exits, personnel protective equipment, etc. Make sure that everyone has easy access to these documents at all times. Send regular online memos or post them in strategic places in your facility. - Provide fire safety training It is absolutely critical to provide general and job-specific fire safety training to all your employees, especially those working in a potentially hazardous environment. - Implement a regular housekeeping routine
If your equipment is running for long hours every day, it would be hard to avoid static discharge and sparks entirely. When you implement a strict housekeeping routine, you can minimize the chances of a small spark turning into a huge disaster. You won’t run the risk of a massive fire, specially the one that may be caused due to combustible dust. - Regular maintenance of equipment Inspecting and maintaining your equipment regularly will make your operations more efficient and enhance safety. Make sure you test all the fire safety systems regularly, which includes sprinklers and fire extinguishers. Ideally, you must perform inspections every six months. Follow these workplace safety tips to ensure health and safety of your staff and equipment at all times and to minimize occupational injuries.

afety is a critical consideration for any welding project. Arc welding is a safe occupation when proper precautions are taken. But, if safety measures are ignored, welders face an array of hazards which can be potentially dangerous, including electric shock, fumes and gases, fire and explosions and more. Welders are members of an occupational group which is exposed to a number of different environmental problems: • Electricity • Electromagnetic fields • UV, IR and visible light radiation • Air pollution • Fire and Spatter • Noise • Ergonomics To help keep welders safe, organizations such as the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offer safety guidelines to help control, minimize or to help employers and workers avoid welding hazards. Employers should ensure all workers have an opportunity to comply with the following important guidelines in the workplace: • Read and understand manufacturer instructions for equipment • Carefully review material safety data sheets
88
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
It’s important to remember to never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or welding clothing and insulate yourself from the work and ground.
• Follow the company’s internal safety practices • Awareness of the most common welding hazards and knowing how to avoid them ensures a safe, productive work environment for all.
Electric shock Electric shock is one of the most serious and immediate risks facing a welder. Electric shock can lead to severe injury or death, either from the shock itself or from a fall caused by the reaction to a shock. Electric shock occurs when welders touch two metal objects that have a voltage between them, thereby inserting themselves into the electrical circuit. For instance, if a worker holds a bare wire in one hand and a second bare wire with another, electric current will pass through that wire and through the welding operator, causing an electric shock. The higher the voltage, the higher the current and, thus the higher the risk for the electric shock to result in injury or death. The most common type of electric shock is secondary voltage shock from an arc welding circuit, which ranges from 20 to 100 volts. Bear in mind that even a shock of 50 volts or less can be enough to injure or kill an operator, depending on the conditions. Due to its constant change in
polarity, alternating current (AC) voltage is more likely to stop the heart than direct current (DC) welders. It is also more likely to make the person holding the wire unable to let go. To avoid secondary voltage shock, welding operators should wear dry gloves in good condition, never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or wet clothing and be sure to insulate themselves from the work and ground, keeping dry insulation between their body and the metal being welded or ground (such as a metal floor or wet surface). ADOR Welding Limited (AWL) offers a wide range of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), like Welding Gloves, Safety Shoes and other safety products to ensure the welders’ safety. In addition, AWL offers VRD (Voltage Reducing Device) as a built-in feature as an option, and also VRD Units which can be fitted externally to any AC or DC SMAW Welding machine, which keeps the secondary voltage down to a safe level of 18-20 V when no welding is being done (machine switched on, but in idle condition). Full welding power is automatically enabled whenever the welder strikes the welding arc. An even more serious shock, primary voltage shock, may occur when a welder touches electrically “hot” or “live” parts inside the welder case or the electric distribution system to which the welder is connected. This action can lead to a shock of 230 or 415 volts. AWL offers ELCB as an option in their welding machines to completely eliminate this hazard.
Fumes and gases Overexposure to welding fumes and gases can be hazardous to the health of the welder as well as any other person who is working in the vicinity of the welding area. Welding fume contains potentially harmful

Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area.
complex metal oxide compounds from consumables, base metal and the basemetal coatings, so it is important to keep the head out of the fumes and use enough ventilation and/or exhaust to control the exposure to substances in the fume, depending on the type of rod and base metal being used. The specific potential health effects which relate to the welding consumable product being used can be found in the Health Hazard Data section of the Safety Data Sheet available from the consumable manufacturer. Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area. In most situations, a ventilation system- such as a fan, and an exhaust system or fixed or removable exhaust hoods- to remove fumes and gases from the work area are provided. AWL has introduced in their range different models of Welding Fume extraction systems, both stand-alone as well as centralized systems (KING EXTRACTORS), with advanced technology, special filters and with or without built-in compressors
Fire and explosions Welding arc creates extreme temperatures, and may pose a significant fire and
90
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | NOVEMBER 2017
explosions hazard if safe practices are not followed. While the welding arc may reach temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the real danger is not from the arc itself, but rather the intense near the arc and the heat, sparks and spatter created by the arc. This spatter can reach up to 35 feet away from the welding space. To prevent fires, before beginning to weld, inspect the work area for any flammable materials and remove them from the area. Flammable materials are comprised of three categories: liquid, such as gasoline, oil and paint; solid, such as wood, cardboard and paper; gas, including acetylene, propane and hydrogen.
Ergonomics When welding heavy material manually
Special attachments and extensions to interconnection cables reduce welder fatigue for welding at long distances from the Power Source
Rotators are used to rotate a job with circular or cylindrical profile to help the welder consistently without changing his position and welding torch angle continuously
and during assembly welding the loads are very static. Positioning welding also gives high loads. Ergonomic control of Welder’s position, arrangement of rotating tables (rotators and turn tables) is important to reduce welder fatigue and chances of poor weld quality.
Other safety considerations Welders should also be aware of other safety considerations within the work environment. For example, those working in a confined space or in an elevated area make need to take extra precautions. In any welding situation, welding operators should pay close attention safety information on the products being used and the material safety data sheets provided by the manufacturer and work with their employer and co-workers to follow appropriate safe practices for their workplace. Good common sense is also key. If opening cans of electrode, keep hands away from sharp edges. Remove clutter and debris from the welding area to prevent tripping or falling. And never use broken or damaged equipment or PPE. To keep up with the most recent safety practices, welding operators should utilize resources from the American Welding Society (AWS), OSHA and welding manufacturers. By following these safe practices and using common sense, operators can stay safe and keep production moving with no lost-time accidents. Safety & Health Fact Sheets are provided in the ANSI Z49.1 Standards.

While well-designed IEC 348 testers have been used for years by technicians and electricians, the fact is that meters designed to the new IEC 61010 standard offers a significantly higher level of safety. Compliance with the directive can be achieved by proving conformance to a relevant technical standard, such
