CEO CORNER SAFE & SMART CITIES - Are we on the job ?? Cities are rapidly increasing in size all over the world. Sixty percent of the world’s population is forecast to be living in urban regions by 2030. The rapid growth of the urban population requires not only a better infrastructure, more food and energy, it also means a greater need for safety. To create the safe city of the future it is very important for all the organisations involved to collaborate even more in order to overcome the complex problems. With the growth of economy, the population is continuously increasing both in the large and medium-sized cities all around the world. This high crowd generates a larger traffic volume on streets, causing traffic jams, violations and accidents. Modern cities also face certain challenges like criminal activities, violent incidents and terrorist attacks. Cities have to progress by implementing smart solutions to handle these traffic and security issues. Current technological developments are creating an increasing number of ways of making cities safer and smarter. The use of digital lampposts equipped with sensors and cameras can, for example, produce a lot of useful data. These lampposts also allow us to inform citizens – wherever they are – of a disaster or incident directly or on their mobile or other digital devices. And they also give normal light that “accompanies” people as they pass by and changes colour according to weather or social conditions. In many cases, smart city programs are already funded and well formed, making them ideal contract vehicles for safe city initiatives. By adapting smart city technology for public safety agencies, cities can leverage their investments and stand up safe city programs faster and at less expense. Cities need to develop emergency plans that provide step-by-step procedures to follow during a natural disaster, a terror attack and need to educate people on how to react. Fast and effective action can be a key to preventing bigger problems, including citywide chaos, social unrest and an effective and alert policing system. Without this smart cities will turn dumb in the course of time.

Ador helps contain air pollution in cement plants Ambuja Cements Ltd., a part of the global conglomerate Lafarge Holcim, is one of the leading cement companies in India while being the largest cement plant chain in the world. The company strongly believes in environmental sustainability which is one of its core values. Recently, the Clean Air team of Ador Powertron showcased the simple innovation and high performance of the Ador+Redkoh Vedika technology in five different plants including clinker cooler ESPs and CPP ESPs. These are some of the most important plants in India viz. Ambuja Cement Rabariyawas Unit, Maratha Unit, Dariaghat Unit, and Bhatapara Unit (Cooler ESP Line 1 & 2). Ador reduced their existing emission levels from the

plants’ earlier values to the committed (and aspired) values of minimum 25% emission reduction and at the some sits achieved a maximum of 75% emission reduction. This incredible environmental protection victory shows that the performance of the Ador High Frequency Power Supply (HFPS) not only enhances the efficiency of Electro-Static Precipitators in the cement industry but also in the power generation field. Ador was able to prove that the Vedika Solution for high Standard Particulate Matter (SPM) can provide better opacity at lesser investment cost and even far lesser effort than adding extra ESP fields or other electrical / mechanical solutions. More importantly, all of this can be achieved without even asking

for a process shutdown.

Vedika gives the end user a pristine air quality experience due to the edge it has, catalyzed by the following ways: • A suitable waveform to the TR set in order to minimize the ESP Ripple • Increased average voltage to the ESP • Increased current flow to the ESP • Fast Response Time to events occurring in both the ESP and the Power system • Possesses all the benefits of the tried and trusted Transformer Rectifier Design • Significantly high-power capacities • Improvement in the power factor • Reuse of the existing

cabling, control rooms and Mechanical TR footprints • No duct work modifications • Provides a solution rather than a one-fits-all product • The electrical energization with High Frequency Power Sources and the same boiler conditions may lead to emission reduction to the tune of 30-50% without any ESP renovation for addition of fields or increase in the height in all of the coal fired power stations in India by utilizing high resistivity and high ash content coal from the Indian mines Industrial enterprises are today under constant pressure to reduce gaseous and particulate emissions from their processes. The Ador Clean Air team has produced and supplied the largest number of TransformerRectifier sets and controls worldwide. Over 20,000 Ador High Voltage Transformer Rectifiers have been installed with the power, cement, steel and paper industries across 74 countries over the last 35 years. Ador Transformers use software designed by Ador and also are able to incorporate OEM management and control software.

Honeywell’s enhanced building technology offers new interfaces to help improve data visualization and decision-making Honeywell (NYSE: HON), a global leader in connected buildings, announced its latest smart building technology, Command and Control Suite release 200 (CCS R200), which connects building personnel with data analytics to help drive operational improvements and efficiencies. CCS R200 builds on the original Command and Control Suite by offering more user interfaces to bring building performance data to key personnel, when and where they need it — from building operators and managers to security incident response teams — helping to reduce operational costs, mitigate risk and enhance business continuity. CCS R200 combines intelligent automation, advanced analytics and data visualization with the contemporary user experience of consumer home and mobile electronics, bringing simple, intuitive displays to building operations to enhance facility and security management in an easy-to-understand manner. The latest release brings the holistic integration, map-based visualization and incident workflows of CCS to the control room workstation, desktop PCs and windows tablets, extending the software’s mobile, touch-optimized experience to more interfaces. This creates a seamless hub of information pulled from IT networks, building control systems and outside sources, which allows for better incident response and operational decision-making. “The value of a building’s data is dependent on how easily the right people can access and understand it. As today’s operations become increasingly data-driven, it’s imperative for organizations to ensure they’re taking steps to make this data accessible and actionable to those who need it in order to do their jobs, such as security personnel, building operators and C-suite executives,” said John Rajchert, president of Building Solutions, Honeywell Home and Building Technologies. “That’s why

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

we chose to develop more interfaces and software mobility functions with CCS. We’re providing additional ways for key personnel to tap into key building insights so they can keep systems up and running and optimize building operations.” Building off the basic components of the original Command and Control Suite, CCS R200 is designed with the same ease of use as the Command Wall, which was designed as a collaboration and team decision-making tool, and features map-based visualization and navigation from a single intuitive touch screen. CCS R200 brings that same ease of use to core operational interfaces, the Command Station and Command Console, extending an organization’s ability to turn complex data into easy-to-implement changes to enhance overall building operations. The Command Station is a single window, single monitor interface, designed for a desktop PC, laptop and Windows tablet, and is often ideal for facility technicians, security guards and management as well as for casual use by occupants. It allows even inexperienced users to quickly understand the overall situation at a glance by providing unique insights in a straightforward manner, while allowing expert users the ability to drill down to technical detail and full

system control. The Command Console, in contrast, is a premium multi-window, multi-monitor interface designed for engineers, controlroom operators, and building mangers and others who need to view insights from multiple systems and areas of a building simultaneously. It seamlessly integrates with Honeywell’s Digital Video Manager console to access and provide a view of video footage and corresponding data for improved operational decision-making. In addition to new interfaces, CCS R200 includes enhancements to the original system’s Incident Workflow feature, which guides users through scripted responses to security incidents and other emergencies. The enhancements include map visualization to clearly locate an incident, such as a fire alarm going off, to quickly identify the exact location. Integrated with the underlying control system, workflows can be initiated by system alarms and procedure steps can include operator-initiated control actions such as announcement, equipment start up, door release and other actions depending on the needs of the incident. Additionally, with CCS R200, organizations can issue multiple Incident Workflows, which can be managed by different people in order to promote efficiency and overall security. CCS R200 integrates with Honeywell’s flagship building management platform, Enterprise Buildings Integrator (EBI), which helps facilitate the integration of security, comfort, life safety and energy systems among other functions. CCS R200 is available now.

QCI & UL bring together government agencies and industry associations to accelerate the development of a robust quality ecosystem The Quality Council of India and UL, an independent, global safety science company recently concluded the third edition of the Standards Roundtable, an unique event that brings together government agencies and industry associations to further the quality ecosystem in the country through standardization. Chaired by the Ministry of Commerce and moderated by the Quality Council of India (QCI) and UL, the Standards Roundtable saw active participation of government agencies such as the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) and the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), and 16 industry associations representing diverse sectors, as well as premier industry bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).* A critical agenda of the Standards Roundtable was the draft Indian National Standards Strategy (INSS) released by the Ministry of Commerce recently. The draft INSS focuses on, among other objectives, ‘using standards as an enhancer for competiveness in the domestic and international markets’ and ‘adopting best practices in standardization, conformity assessment and technical regulations, and creating an integrated infrastructure,

roadmaps and institutions for their effective management’. While India today has more than 19,000 standards, around 5,000 of them are updated and about 135 are mandated for regulation. A phased approach to increase the level of regulation to match other comparable markets will give the domestic industry the right impetus to compete on global as well as domestic scale. Following detailed talks, participants of the Roundtable agreed to share their inputs about the draft INSS document. Commenting on the first-of-itskind effort by the Government to devise a comprehensive Standards strategy, Mr. Anil Jauhri, CEO, National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies, India said, “The Government is actively pushing the Standards agenda, and hopefully, with the draft INSS, where the roles of each stakeholder are clearly defined,

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

we can create an action plan to further standardization in India with greater participation from the industries.” Other strategic discussions in the event under the theme, “Accelerating Standards Development For Building Brand India” centered around speeding up the process of creating domestically relevant, technologically sound, sciencebased and globally harmonized standards that can foster better safety, sustainability and healthy outcomes for the country. Experts reiterated the need for the industry to proactively support the standardization program of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The Roundtable also discussed an accreditation process for Standards Development Organizations (SDO), so that the industry-level standards developed through a consensus-based approach can

be recognized and potentially adopted as the National Standards – a practice followed in several mature markets. Commenting on the landmark event, Mr. Phil Piqueira, Vice President, Global Standards, UL said, “The Standards play a pivotal role in the economic development and are all the more relevant in today’s world where new technologies are proliferating at a rapid rate, shrinking the time to market from years to months. In such a scenario, a collaborative effort is needed to secure growth and address safety, quality and performance challenges. As a not-for-profit organization, UL’s mission is to promote safe living and working environments around the world, and we are keen to extend this mission to India by partnering with relevant stakeholders.” Speaking about his association with the Standards Roundtable and the need to develop

the India-specific Standards, Dr. R. P. Singh, Secretary General, Quality Council of India said, “This is perhaps the most exciting time for standards and conformity assessment in India. The role of standards and conformity assessment as per international benchmarks has been recognized beyond doubt and there is a concerted effort to use this route to build Indian products and services as a brand.” Sharing his views on the positive impact of the

Standards Roundtable, Dr. Rahul Walawalkar, Executive Director, India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), said, “Based on the IESA-UL partnership launched in 2016 edition of the Standards Roundtable, the IESA hosted series of working group meetings with members to develop the India energy storage standards roadmap. This was later on adopted in the second half of 2017 by the BIS-ETD 52 committee working on the stationary energy storage

standards in India. In January 2018, the BIS has released these draft standards for industry stakeholder comments and we anticipate that the first set of standards will be approved by mid-2018. We will continue to work with UL and other stakeholders to develop other standards in 2018 and beyond.” Dr. Jyotirmay Mathur, Standards Committee Chair, Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioners (ISHRAE),

adds, “HVAC industry very aggressively adopts standards, it is evident from the fact that wherever the Indian standards are not available, other standards from different parts of the globe are adopted and used. This Roundtable helped ISHRAE, an accredited SDO see approaches used by other similar professional bodies to develop, adopt and implement usage of standards, especially with rapidly changing technology.”

Q. How do you foresee “India” as a potential market, what are the prospects? Globally, data is proliferating at exponential rates every day. There is also an increase in the number of data creators, both human and machine. IoT, Gaming, Surveillance and Drones are anticipated to be some of the key drivers in the data storage industry. In India, the sheer size of the country and its population is going to make it amongst the top data creating geographies. For example, in the internal drive segment, rise in surveillance applications has

corresponded to an increase in surveillance footage. Smart city projects and growth in video analytics are expected to fuel a further surge in demand for data storage. Similarly, in the external drive segment, more and more people across age groups are creating and storing data. Yes, India is a very exciting place for data storage brands now and in the near future.

Q. According to you what are the factors affecting your business? Several factors are going to impact the storage industry. As I said before, the explosion of data, and the availability of storage solutions that provide high capacity in small sizes and at economic costs is the biggest factor. A robust distribution network that can match demand is another. A stream lined after sales process that reduces downtime and enhances customer experience is also essential to business success. Government policies on data generation, storage, security and privacy are also going to directly and indirectly affect how we go about our business.

Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving the industry? Amongst the continuous developments in the industry, I think the focus in the foreseeable future is going to be on increasing areal density in HDDs. This basically means increasing the amount of data you can store in the same space.

Q. What is your vision for SEAGATE? My vision for Seagate is to go beyond just market leadership in numbers or revenue. I see the brand delivering on the corporate values we are committed to – of putting the customer in front, of excelling in whatever we do, of being responsible to society and environment. Above all, I see Seagate creating benchmarks in providing long term value and satisfaction for whoever we touch, be it our employees, customers and business partners.

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

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

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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

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 Welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

SAFETY

Safety is Everybody’s Responsibility “An effective accident prevention programme can be succeeded only by active co-operation from all groups” - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: An accident is an unplanned event. In other words, it is an unplanned, undesirable occurrence, which results in injury, sometimes death, or damage to property. There is a possibility of accident in every sphere of human activity, may be at home, whilst travelling at play or at work. An accident brings distress to the victims either in the form of death or injury. For a family, it is a loss of disablement of the bread earner. For an industry, it is loss of production and additional expenditure by way of compensation. For the nation, it is loss of human resources. Accidents are not new to human beings. They ever exist, since the primitive age, till today, except that their degree of hazard and severity have been increasing keeping pace with the degree of automation and complexity of machinery run on power. With the advance of technology and medicine; man has striven hard to device protective equipment and guards to protect himself from any danger. But unfortunately those efforts seem to be still inadequate to ensure him full safety. Industrial accidents take major share in the overall accident picture. The toll of industrial accidents is so great and their effects on human beings are so disastrous casting their long lasting shadows on the society, that an effective accident prevention programme is justified on the humanitarian ground alone. Apart from precious human life, the industrial accidents are causing great damage to the plant and machinery used for production. Accident prevention, therefore, has become the ethic of industrial working and living. It is, therefore, proper to have safety drive to make industry a safe place to work and live and let others live happily. Every person working in industry i.e. the

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

Managers, Supervisors, Workers, Safety Committee Members and Trade Union Members, has to play an active role in safety drive. This article will focus on the role and responsibility of each group towards an effective safety drive.

2.0 ROLE OF MANAGERS: Accident prevention in any organisation must be looked upon as an essential prerequisite of good and sound management. This policy alone will assure the employee that the management is sincere in their efforts to provide welfare to their employees. A sound safety policy guides the efforts of people in achievement of management’s goal. The attitude of top management towards the accident prevention is invariably reflected in the attitude of employees down below. It is therefore, necessary for the top management to provide an ideal leadership of enthusiasm and interest in safety for desirable behaviour of their employees. An effective safety programme emanates from the top of the organisation and percolates down to the shop floor. It is better the top management assigns responsibility for safety down to the first line supervisors. Remember, that safety of employees and plant is the interest of the organinsation for its smooth and efficient running. There are many effective methods to improve the overall safety and health record of an organisation. The most important point to be considered here is to obtain and sustain top management support while ensuring that they clearly understand their role in providing such support. To improve overall safety and health of an organisation, the top management has to perform various roles, and some of them are listed below: • Set the example;

• • • •

Establish specific incentives; Demonstrate interest; Provide financial and personal support; Use enforcement, when necessary.

To ensure that subordinates adequately support safety and health efforts of the organisation, top managers must set the example. This can be done by establishing: • Incentive programmes; • Demonstrating their interest in safety and health efforts; • Wearing appropriate protection when in a plant. The top managers should also establish specific incentive schemes for good safety performance. These could include: 1. Setting goal based on per cent of improvement; 2. Using the “management by objectives” system, and thereby setting specific objectives such as to accomplish a type of safety training or improve guarding on certain machines; 3. Establishing a specific reward system for senior managers, plant managers, departmental heads, supervisors, etc. It may be reminded here that the management should not feel satisfied only by adhering to legal provisions and by displaying few safety posters or appointing a safety officer or safety committees, but management should show genuine interest and show concern for safety in their every action and word. This could only result from the enthusiasm and sincere interest shown by management in the safety drive.

3.0 ROLE OF SUPERVISORS: Safety is an integral part of production and is the only way to quality and quantity. Safety should be interwoven into the

TECH UPDATE

operating activity as thoroughly as possible, so that safety is not regarded by the workers as something separate and not a part of their regular job. Supervisor is said to be an important link between management and workers. It may be remembered here that the supervisor is the starting point for an effective implementation of accident prevention programme on shop floor. Supervisor is in charge of the workers and equipment and held responsible for the proper behaviour of workers and has to work through them in achievement of his main task of giving quality production in time. He should, therefore, have more concern for accidents which ultimately interrupt the smooth flow of production and can cause harm to his reputation as a supervisor. Supervisor should make his department safe for working by keeping the environments and surroundings clean, tidy and congenial to work. For this he should watch for slippery and patchy floors, congestion of aisles and workplaces, inadequate ventilation and illumination. He should always be on the lookout for unsafe places and situations leading to accidents. He should promptly take corrective action if it in the purview of his authority or else report the observations made and suggest remedial measures to higher authorities for quick action. The matter should however be followed up until it is rectified. He may also take up other precautionary methods like informing the person concerned or guarding the danger by temporary methods. The unsafe conditions created by materials left in gangways or improperly stacked can be eliminated by setting the things right. The bad flooring, broken ladder, inadequacy of space, lighting, ventilation, etc. requires approval of top management to remedy. However, the supervisor on his part can provide alternative arrangements to lessen the danger till such time adequate measures are taken by management. Supervisor should adopt methods of working which are free from hazards. He should continue to strive for improvements in methods by eliminating all hazards leading to unsafe practices. He should also

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

see that gassy, fumy and hot work areas are as far as possible shielded or isolated from adjoining work areas and the persons working on the processes are provided with appropriate suitable personal protective equipment. Supervisor should also see that his workers are safety conscious and have developed safety habits and practices as part of their good performances on the job. He should imbibe in this employees they alone can cause or prevent occurrence of accidents in the plant and thereby enhance the standing of the department in the organisation. He should also appeal to their good sense and stimulate their urge to avoid personal loss and excel in safety performance. He should encourage them to be free from injury by adhering to safety legislations and abiding by safety norms and instructions in the interest of their family, society and nation at large. Supervisor can assure himself that he has safety minded people working with all safe habits only. It may be remembered here that every unsafe act is a challenge and the supervisor should regard it as an occasion to instil safety consciousness and impress upon them that safety rules are in their own interest and they are meant to be obeyed in the larger interest of their fellow beings and organisation in which they work.

habit once acquired becomes the only way of working and any change envisage is resented. The workers can be critical about the methods of doing the job and pinpoint hazards and suggest possible corrective measures to their immediate superior. They should realise their mistakes either through investigation of past accidents or observation of their fellow beings at work and make a determined effort to rectify those. Workers should realise that they have a moral obligation to produce adequately and safely without endangering lives of others at work. By working safely, they can help their supervisor in an effective discharge of his duty and in turn lessen his burden. The management can help to the extent of supporting and encouraging safe practices, but much of the success depends on its effective use on shop floor to the workers. Of course, not to forget that the organisation has a responsibility to give adequate wages, facilities and benefits to meet their basic need for survival. The compliance with the safety provisions and if necessary putting demand on management, are the obligations of the workers. It should be remembered that safety is the part of workmanship and that safe method is the only effective and efficient methods to produce.

4.0 ROLE OF WORKERS:

5.0 ROLE OF SAFETY COMMITTEE:

An accident prevention programme is in the interest of workers alone. However, the workers should realise that an accident can cause not only physical injury to him but also can cause him great harm and in turn cost him more in the long run. Unfortunately this fact is seldom realised by the workers and they often fall victim to their own attitudes or habits contrary to safe practices. If workers realise that safety is for their wellbeing and hence make it a practice to work safely, then half the battle of safety drive is won. But one may wonder why our workers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand a thing of their own interest? Probably the bad habit which acquired in the past does not allow one to work safely. Probably, the bad

Normally workers like to participate in decision making concerning their health and welfare. Although, they know that the final decisions will have to be taken by somebody at the top level, they have satisfaction to be a party to the decision making. The constitution of safety committee consisting of representatives of management and workers, can contribute much to safety promotional activities. The safety committee, therefore, should act as a clearing body for all matters regarding making safety drive more active. The advice of safety officer, if in place, should be made available to the committee for assessing technical matters and practicability of

TECH UPDATE

suggestions made. Usually, the safety officer will be the Ex-Officio Secretary of safety committees. It may be reminded that at times the need may arise to re-evaluate and redesign the policy in the interest of safety. The safety committee should meet regularly, at least once in a month and discuss and finalise the issues relating to safety. Members of the safety committee should come with an open mind and discuss only matters relating to safety.

6.0 ROLE OF TRADE UNIONS: One of the major responsibilities of the trade unions is to look after the welfare of its members. However, often the demand for ‘welfare’ is mainly focussed on wages and other financial incentives. The trade unions have to change this attitude and demand for better working conditions from the management. They have to see that their members are provided with safe place, tools, equipment and environment to work. They should not forget that their members have to follow safety regulations and safety norms. This could be done by instilling safe habits and practices. They should also be on the lookout for the unsafe behaviour of their members and correct it before it provides disastrous. The unsafe behaviour, if not checked in time, they may have to be brought to the notice of the departmental heads, so that it can curbed in the initial stage itself. They should also emphasise to their members, that the safety rules are framed for their own interest. Trade unions, therefore, must co-operate with the management in matters relating to safety. They may promote safety education to develop safety awareness and safety consciousness among their members.

7.0 CONCLUSION: Every human being should have a moral responsibility towards safety and play his part in making industrial environment safe and congenial to work and have in order to enjoy the long cherished fruits of his labour and his intelligence. An effective accident prevention programme can be succeeded only by active co-operation from all groups viz.

New control panel with built-in SD interface

he Schmersal Group is extending its range of control panels with the new BDF 200-SD model. This product variant now has a built-in SD interface. The BDF 200-SD is also fitted with an EMERGENCY STOP function with electronic OSSD outputs and can be fitted with up to three operational command and alarm devices, such as illuminated push-buttons, illuminated alarms, selector switches and key switches. Using the built-in SD interface, the non-safe diagnostic signals from the command and alarm devices can be transferred via an SD gateway to the controller. In the safety circuit, different electronic safety switchgear devices, such as sensors and interlocks, can easily be connected in series using the BDF 200-SD. The benefit for users: The devices are simpler, quicker and more cost-effective to install. This also reduces installation errors. Safety sensors and interlocks fitted with an SD interface can transfer extensive status and diagnostics data from individual devices connected in series via the SD gateway and different fieldbuses to the controller. This could be, for example, status data from the safety equipment or error messages from a device. This allows individual diagnostics for the safety switchgear devices connected. This means that a user can easily tell which switch in the series has triggered a signal. This helps resolve problems quicker, enables preventative maintenance and thus increases machine availability. The BDF 200 product range was developed for installation on conventional aluminium profile systems in machine housings and is easy to install. The range is based on a slimline casing made of impact-resistant plastic. The positioning of the buttons on the control panel can be selected at will. Labelling fields allow the individual marking of functions. This means the machine constructor can show the normal operating functions (EMERGENCY STOP, On / Off, Forward / Back, mode selection, status display, error messages, etc.) on the BDF 200 range.

About the Schmersal Group In the demanding field of machine safety the Schmersal Group is one of the international market and competence leaders. Based on more than 25,000 different switching devices, the corporate group offers system solutions for the safety of man and machine.

Drones

Are they the new threat to Security?

n unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. UAVs are a part of a system that includes a UAV, a ground-based controller and a system of communications between the two. UAVs may operate with varying degrees of autonomy. UAV’s may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS. The early use of UAVs was for missions too “dull, dirty or dangerous” for humans. Their use is rapidly expanding to commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications including policing, peacekeeping, surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, agriculture, smuggling, etc. Civilian UAVs now vastly outnumber military UAVs. They can be considered as a precursor to autonomous commercial applications like autonomous cars.

Drone Types and Sizes Drones come in a wide variety of sizes. The largest are mostly used for military purposes such as the Predator drone. The next in size are unmanned aircraft which have fixed wings and require short runways. These are generally used to cover large areas. Their applications are in geographical surveying, combating wildlife poaching, etc. Next in size are VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drones. Many of these are quad-copters but not all. VTOL drones can take off, fly, hover and land vertically. Very small drones that can be launched from the palm of one’s hand are also being manufactured. The most commonly used design for small UAV’s is the quad-copter design.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

Components Body: UAV’s do not require a cockpit and an environmental control system. Some UAVs carry payloads (such as a camera) that weigh considerably less and as a result can be considerably smaller. UAVs designed for military applications are capable of carrying heavy payloads. However even these are lighter than their manned counterparts with comparable armaments. Small civilian UAVs have no life-critical systems. Therefore, these are built out of lighter but less sturdy materials and shapes, and can use less robustly tested electronic control systems. Control systems: • Camera, a video link and radio-transmitted digital commands make up the control system for UAV’s that are operated by humans. • Most UAVs use a radio frequency front-end that connects the antenna to the analog-todigital converter and a flight computer that controls avionics (which could be capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous operation). • Radio enables remote control and exchange of video and other data. • In military systems and high-end domestic applications, downlink may convey payload management status. • In civilian applications, most transmissions are commands from operator to vehicle.

Sensors: • Position and movement sensors give information about the state of the UAV. • Other sensors deal with external

information like distance measurements, • Some others correlate internal and external states. Sensors detect targets autonomously & maintain a safe distance, thus avoiding collision.

Communications The radio signalling system includes: • Ground control – a human operating a radio transmitter/receiver, a smart phone, a tablet, or a computer. • Remote network system, such as satellite duplex data links for some drones used by the military. Downstream digital video over mobile networks has also entered the consumer market segment. • Another aircraft, serving as a relay or mobile control station – known as military manned-unmanned teaming. Range extender technology is used to extend the range of communication between the smart phone or tablet and the drone, in an open unobstructed area. Some of the latest, out of the box, drones can fly up to a distance of 7km.

Commercial Applications Drones were once viewed as technology reserved only for military strikes or the latest sci-fi movie. However, in just a few years drones have become main stream. Drones are already being used in television production, as thermal imaging cameras for law enforcement to catch suspects and by utility firms to check for leaks. Lady Gaga recently used them to light up the night sky during her Super Bowl performance. Some of the biggest organisations in the world, including

movies! Drones could be used to drop explosives or even unleash biological attacks.

Amazon, BT and Shell are considering the use of drones to aid business. Amazon is the first public company to authorise trials of autonomous flying drones in the UK. An ingenious idea that will see parcels delivered around the world faster than you can make your lunch and is likely to transform the way we shop. Consumers can expect faster, than ever before, deliveries up to their doorstep.

Security Concerns Despite the clear benefits, drones must be embraced and feared in equal measure. While they might look fairly innocent, a more detailed analysis would make them appear terrifying. Their versatility in configuration enables drones to be adapted to positively suit almost any industry and requirement. However, falling in the wrong hands, this versatility could also have a negative impact. Drones are capable of delivering incendiary devices, grenades, and perhaps even worse, into uncontrolled airspace in the same way that unmanned aerial vehicles have in the past. Currently no regulations are in place to stop someone flying one of these drones into a busy city or airspace. Reports allege that Quad-copters, manufactured by the world’s largest consumer drone maker, have been implicated in a surge of attacks in Iraq and Syria. Senior Government Officials in the U.S. believe that two years ago ‘security’ was not a concern. A year ago this was an emerging problem, now it is a real concern. These authorities believe that the threat of terrorist drone attacks is a “real problem”. It is no longer in the realms of science fiction

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

Some of the concerns are: • Danger to commercial airspace • A lack of regulation • Hacking Governments need to very quickly understand the magnitude of this problem and work towards viable countermeasures. Governments must implement strict and overarching regulations to help control drone use, especially autonomous drones that are guided by software and GPS location alone. Putting in place stringent security measures is vital.

business across a range of sectors, including energy, logistics, transport, photography and even agriculture. • Potentially they could also be a threat to national security. • Without stringent regulations drones could become a target for hackers. • What was once seen as a marvel of innovative technology, could, quickly become a tool for malicious attacks. • Drones must be embraced and feared in equal measure. There is no quick fix to the ‘drone dilemma’.

Possible Regulations • All UAVs over 1 kg to be registered. • UAVs weighing 4 kg or more requiring a license. • Only drones with a weight of less than 7 kg, operating at altitudes up to 500m and with restricted visual line-of-sight below the height of the highest obstacle are allowed. • Operators would be required to be of a minimum age and would have to pass an exam in order to get a license • Standardisation of radio frequencies on which drones can operate so that security teams could, if required, intercept drones entering unchartered airspace. • Automated drones should also have regulated flight plans, so enforcement agencies know the owner of the drone, what it is carrying and its mission. • Plug any potential vulnerabilities to prevent hackers from taking control over the drone Some Governments have already put in place some of the above regulations. Others have already invested in technology to interfere with radio transmissions to control rogue drones. Some are testing trained bald eagles to intercept offending UAVs.

Summary • A drone is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. • Drones have become main stream. • Drones have the potential to revolutionise

Reducing false alarms with Deep Learning

he Deep Learning phenomenon continues to excite the IT world, with computing power now at the level where it can be properly used in practical applications. Hikvision has been at the forefront of applying the technology in the surveillance industry and beyond, and has already released its first set of products that harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The concept of Deep Learning takes inspiration from the way the human brain works. Our brains can be seen as a very complex deep learning model. Brain neural networks are comprised of billions of interconnected neurons; deep learning simulates this structure. These multi-layer networks can collect information and perform corresponding actions according to analysis of that information. In the past two years, the technology has excelled in speech recognition, computer vision, voice translation, and much more. It

has even surpassed human capabilities in the areas of facial verification and image classification; hence, it has been highly regarded in the field of video surveillance for the security industry. Its ability to enhance the recognition of human beings - distinguishing them from animals, for example - makes the technology a great addition to the security arsenal. This is especially relevant in a world where false alarms account for 94%-99% of all alarms, according to police and fire service statistics!

How deep learning works Deep learning is intrinsically different from other algorithms. The way it solves the

insufficiencies of traditional algorithms is encompassed in the following aspects. The algorithmic model for deep learning has a much deeper structure than the traditional algorithms. Sometimes, the number of layers can reach over a hundred, enabling it to process large amounts of data in complex classifications. Deep learning is very similar to the human learning process, and has a layer-by-layer feature-abstraction process. Each layer will have different “weighting,” and this weighting reflects on what was learnt about the images’ “components.” The higher the layer level, the more specific the components. Just like the human brain, an original signal in deep learning passes

TECH UPDATE

through layers of processing; next, it takes a partial understanding (shallow) to an overall abstraction (deep) where it can perceive the object. Deep learning does not require manual intervention but relies on a computer to extract features by itself. This way, it is able to extract as many features from the target as possible, including abstract features that are difficult or impossible to describe. The more features there are, the more accurate the recognition and classification will be. Some of the most direct benefits that deep learning algorithms can bring include achieving comparable or even better-than-human pattern recognition accuracy, strong anti-interference capabilities, and the ability to classify and recognise thousands of features.

Challenges of existing systems Conventional surveillance systems mostly detect moving targets, without further analysis. Even smart IP cameras can only map individual points on a shape one by one, making it difficult to calibrate some features (eg forehead or cheek), thus decreasing accuracy. For perimeter security, for example, other technologies can be (and are) used to provide more comprehensive security. But they all have their downsides. Infrared emission detectors can be ‘jumped over’ but are also prone to false alarms caused by animals. Electronic fences can be a safety hazard,

and are limited in certain areas. Some of these solutions can also be expensive and complicated to install. Object such as animals, leaves, or even light can cause false alarms, so being able to identify the presence of a human shape really improves the accuracy of perimeter VCA functions. Frequent false alarms are always an issue for end-users, who need to spend time to investigate each one, potentially delaying any necessary response and generally affecting efficiency. Imagine, for example, a scenario where it’s relatively quiet – a location at night where there are few cars and people around. Even here, there could be 50 false alarms in a night. Assuming it takes 2-3 minutes to check out a false alarm, and that just 3 out of the 50 warrant more attention – say 15 minutes each. A guard either needs to check the system and look back at the alert, or someone needs to be dispatched to the location and look around, checking if anyone has indeed ‘entered without permission’. In most organisations, these would need to be reported/recorded too, adding to the overall time spent on this ‘false alarm’. So, those 50 false alarms could cost more than two hours each night of wasted time in that scenario. Deep Learning, however, makes a big difference. With a large amount of good quality data from the cameras and other sources, like the Hikvision Research Institute, and over a hundred data cleaning

team members to label the video images, sample data with millions of categories within the industry have been accumulated. With this large amount of quality training data, human, vehicle, and object pattern recognition models become more and more accurate for video surveillance use. Based on a series of experiments, the recognition accuracy of solutions using the Deep Learning algorithm increased accuracy by 38% - applying this to the previous example, that’s a saving of nearly one hour each night. This makes Deep Learning technology a great advantage in a perimeter security solution, with much more accurate line crossing, intrusion, entrance and exit detection.

Other uses The value of Deep Learning technology stretches further than traditional security. For example, tracking movement patterns of individuals can see if they are ‘loitering’ and a potential threat in the future. A threshold could be set to five metres radius of movement, or ten seconds of staying in the same place. If the person passes either threshold, an alarm could be triggered. The solution tracks the individual and compares this behaviour to a database to see if it recognises a pattern. Another application would be in a scenario where ‘falling down’ could be a threat, like an elderly care home. If a height threshold was set at 0.5m and duration time 10 seconds, for example, the solution would be able to see a person falling down (as they go below 0.5m) and might be in trouble (if they ‘stay down’ for longer than 10 seconds). The solution uses the parameters set to compare with its database and raise an alarm. With features and benefits like these, it’s easy to see how many smart applications could be catered for by Deep Learning technology. To sum up 10,000-strong R&D Centre is pushing the boundaries of surveillance solutions and bringing even more benefits to them. Artificial Intelligence has massive potential, and Hikvision is always exploring new ways to apply this exciting technology throughout the security industry and beyond.

FIRE

Role of women in the fire safety industry Women are both the victim as well as strong enablers when it comes to the fire safety industry. In India, 17,700 Indians died due to a fire incident which occurred in 2015. 48 people die every day due to that fire accidents out of which 62% are women

Mr. Rohit Harjani, Country Manager Indian Sub-continent, Hochiki

he economic development of the nation is dependent on the participation of all the sections of the society, more particularly women, who constitute fifty per cent of the population. Massive employment potentialities can be utilized by women folk. India is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest growing major economy, but has one of the lowest rates of female employment. This is most true especially in the firefighting industry which has seen a major dearth of women in professional roles. Women are both the victim as well as strong enablers when it comes to the fire safety industry. In India, 17,700 Indians died due to a fire incident which occurred in 2015. 48 people die every day due to that fire accidents out of which 62% are women. While the numbers continue to rise, the awareness on fire safety has hardly gained much recognition. Strikingly, in this whole conversation on fire safety, the female voice is missing! Unlike in the West, where a job in the fire safety industry is revered and a matter of great pride, India still has a long way to go. The instances of women

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | MARCH 2018

working in the firefighting industry in India are far and few. In 2003, the Tamil Nadu Fire and Rescue Services appointed Priya Ravichandran as a Divisional fire officer, making her one of the first female fire officers in the country, and the first one to win Anna Medal for Bravery in Tamil Nadu. In 2013, the department inducted its second batch of women firefighters. In 2012, the Mumbai Fire Brigade inducted five women firefighters, making them the first in the history of the organisation. One of the biggest reasons for the low participation is the absence of a female role model. Over the last several decades, it has become an accepted understanding that improving the status of women is one of the most critical levers of international development. When women are educated and can be employed, a volley of good results follow. According to a recent study by McKinsey, if women played an identical role in labour markets to that of men, as much as US$28 trillion could be added to the global annual GDP by 2025. We require more and more women in the industry as they have the right ability to prove their mettle in various fields including defense services. One such example can be the appointment of Shrimati Nirmala Sitharaman as the Defence Minister of India. Recently Avani Chaturvedi, has also been appointed as the first Indian woman fighter pilot to fly solo. The fighter stream was opened for women in 2015 and Avani

Chaturvedi, along with two other women, Mohana Singh and Bhawana Kanth were inducted into the Indian Air Force fighter squadron in 2016 where they have undergone strenuous training programme to fly fighter jets. Fire safety should also be considered as an industry to support and encourage women diversity and empowerment. The policy of fire and safety industry to recruit only male officers might be reinforcing gender stereotypes and should keep pace with international trends. While even in the west, the number of women staff is very low, but in India its much below the international statistics. One has to remember that the practice of hiring only men could be construed as demeaning to the female gender. We, in the industry, know their real purpose is to provide the safety of everyone in case of emergencies. While women have made significant gains in the past decade in terms of their noteworthy roles in different spheres of life including education, health, technology, economic participation, and political leadership, we as a nation still have a long way to go when it comes to attaining gender equality.

Oncam Boosts Product Portfolio with the Addition of Unique Evolution 180 Range Customer demand drives development of novel and dedicated panoramic product range

ncam, the leading provider of 360-degree video capture and business intelligence technology, announced today the addition of the Evolution 180 product range to its portfolio, building upon the experience and heritage of the company’s 360-degree technology. The addition of the panoramic 180-degree camera range meets the needs of customers in a variety of markets that require a purpose-built wall-mounted camera with Panoramic+ views from a single sensor. Environments that benefit from this unique view include education, hospitality, casinos, banking, retail and transportation, which demand monitoring large walkways, open spaces and corridors without blind spots. “Customer demand for a dedicated

high-quality 180-degree technology was the driving force in the development of our latest product. They wanted a camera that was tailor-made for true panoramic views. Currently, 180-degree views in the market are created with a single sensor 360-degree camera in panorama mode, which isn’t an ideal approach as it doesn’t allow the use of the full width of the sensor.” said Jon Marsh, Vice President of Product, Oncam. “This is why we’ve created the Panoramic+ view, which dictated the design of the product putting more pixels on target than any other panoramic camera. This innovation further boosts the capabilities of our product portfolio and builds on the proven track record of top quality imagery from a single sensor for which Oncam is known. Furthermore, the Evolution 180 enables us to reach a greater

segment of the marketplace that requires and demands full coverage from their surveillance solutions.” The Evolution 180 camera range is introduced today with the Indoor model, available immediately in black or white, and a robust and attractive Outdoor model, which will be available in April. The Evolution 180 range offers a 12MP sensor and a 6MP dewarped panoramic image with Oncam’s Angle Compensation Technology which provides adaptive dewarping. It is a true day/night camera which doesn’t require SDK dewarping as the Panoramic+ view is created natively in the camera. The solution is ONVIF Profile S compliant for added integration flexibility with the leading video management systems on the market today. MARCH 2018 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
