CEO CORNER GST: Some Relief but No Cure The much-anticipated Goods and Services Tax (GST) was finally rolled out on July 1 at 12 am. The transition to a single, nationwide tax on goods and services is expected to streamline business and boost the economy. While many industries welcomed GST, the first notification came as a shock for the safety and security industry as security and fire products were put under 28% GST slab. With consistent efforts from industry stalwarts and trade associations, the GST rate on some items such as CCTV cameras and Recorders, Coaxial and Optical Cables, UPS & Power supplies and monitors under 17 inches, was reduced to 18% from the originally proposed 28%. This has brought partial relief to the security industry and is definitely a welcome move. Putting life safety goods in the highest bracket as luxury electronics and other white goods would have resulted in sizeable cut down in installing these products and eventual increase in crime and threat to safety. Apart from this, the high tax would have increased smuggling with customers turning to products sold without bills. In fact, if we look at western nations the products are regarded as essential life safety items and kept in low tax brackets. For instance, in Australia a GST of 10% is charged on fire & security systems and there is no/nominal import duties/tax, while in Malaysia it is just 6%. Considering increasing security threats in India, including terror attacks, Kashmir insurgency, growing cultural conflicts, the need for robust safety and security is more prominent now than ever. While shift to 18% slab definitely brings some relief, there is a need to reduce the taxes further on these essential life safety items. Also, there is no news on fire safety products such as fire extinguishers and fire and burglar alarm systems which were also in the highest tax bracket. The industry has actually filed a petition noting that safety products should not be charged any GST or a maximum of 5%. Hopefully, the government will take cue from other countries and realize that safety products are not luxury but a necessity in the modern world.

Mobile gas analyser turns 25 Oxybaby® better than ever The mobile O2/CO2 gas analyser Oxybaby® from WittGasetechnik is celebrating its 25th birthday this year. The handy helper for testing modified atmosphere packaging is one the biggest selling residual oxygen analysers in the food industry: The way quality inspectors work in the food sector has also been transformed with the evolution of this measuring instrument. Measuring results in six seconds, from just a 2 ml gas sample, display of the O2 value in 0.01% increments, durable oxygen sensor – the values of the current model 6.0 make the Oxybaby® one of the most powerful sample gas analysers available on the market. Not surprising – because each generation of this device has been pioneering within the sector for the last 25 years. Witt Managing Director Martin Bender, the “father” of the gas analyser, remembers the very beginning when looking at the drawings of the first generation Oxybaby® - from 1992: “At that time, modified atmosphere packaging was a relatively young technology. The random measurement of food packaging for quality assurance was still in its beginnings” he explains. “The existing instruments were awkward to use and not very sophisticated technologically. With the development of the Oxybaby®, we were able to fill a timely niche.” The crucial difference to other products on the market: From as

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

early as the second generation, the Oxybaby® had an integrated pump used to extract a gas sample from the packaging at the press of a button. This innovation enables the singlehanded operation still in use today and makes the testing process faster: “This unique selling proposition made the work of quality inspectors much, much easier and was the start of a success story,“ explains Bender. Modified atmosphere packaging is widespread today. The inspection of gas composition in food packaging has become standard in quality assurance throughout the world, the Oxybaby® long having become established as the standard solution for this application. This has been made possible thanks to ongoing development in operation, design and functionality. Even though it was only possible to determine the residual oxygen content to begin with, measurement of CO2 content along with

determination of the gas pressure in the packaging is nowadays a matter of course. Just like at the start, Witt has always had the user’s benefit in mind. Numerous direct suggestions by customers were incorporated in the development, making the Oxybaby® even more practical: The measuring times have been continuously reduced and the measuring gas minimised, thus enabling even the analysis of the smallest packages such as coffee capsules. Another major advantage that is popular with users: The pump responds automatically to any blockages in the needle or filter and adjusts the output so that a correct measurement is ensured despite this. A warning message indicates any serious blockages. The measurement can also be assigned to different product lines, products and users. The memory capacity has been increased to several hundred entries, with export functions and interfaces having been extended – important functions

for complete documentation and certification. The integration of a barcode reader for even faster operation or actuation of a printer via Bluetooth is also possible. Yet it is not only the food industry where you can find the Oxybaby®. Special variants such as the Oxybaby® Med for use in hospitals or the Oxybaby® P for testing gas supply lines have extended the application fields of the practical gas analyser in recent years. “The Oxybaby® will remain one of our core products in the future too”, states Martin Bender. “It’s well known and successful in the market. The last 25 years have shown that such a product will continue to be refined. So you can look forward to exciting and useful new features for the user with the next generations of Oxybaby®.”

Safety experts to meet Government to discuss fire regulations post-Grenfell Tower Leading safety bodies are set to meet ministers for talks on the UK’s building and fire regulations in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower disaster, the House of Lords heard. The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), British Safety Council (BSC) and Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) are among organisations calling on the Government for ‘a change in mind-set’ on safety regulations following the tragedy in which at least 80 people lost their lives. In an open letter to Theresa May, they are among more than 1,000 signatories urging the Government to scrap its approach to health and safety deregulation and think again.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

“We believe it is vital that this disaster marks a turning point for improved fire safety awareness and wider appreciation that good health and safety is an investment, not a cost,” the letter states. The letter prompted a twohour debate on 13 July 2017 in the Lords, led by Baroness

Andrews, culminating in an agreement by Lord Prior, of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, that a meeting should take place between the safety industry and Government representatives. “I think the crux of this debate is whether the pendulum has

swung too far with deregulation, and that is a matter of judgement,” he said. “The awful tragedy of Grenfell Tower will make us rethink these issues and I hope it will change the culture that surrounds the way we look at regulation.” IOSH, BSC and RoSPA have been working with Baroness Andrews ahead of the debate on the impact of deregulation on public services and health and safety. Speaking after the debate, the former chair of English Heritage said: “I am encouraged that the minister agreed that the culture should change and that the meeting should take place with the safety bodies behind the letter to Theresa May.”

Rath Yatra The 140th Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath (Lord Vishnu)

commenced in the city on Sunday, June 25 amid tight security as lakhs of devotees flocked the 15-km journey route to catch a glimpse of the deity. Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Rupani and Deputy Chief Minister Mr.Nitin Patel performed ‘Pahind Vidhi’- a symbolic ritual of cleaning the way for the chariots. The chariots of Lord Jagannath, his brother Lord Balbhadra and sister Goddess Subhadra, then started the journey from the 400-year-old Jagannath Temple in Jamalpur area on Sunday morning. The long procession this year has

18 elephants, 101 trucks, seven cars, members of 30 `akhadas’ and 18 bhajan mandalis. The annual Rath Yatra coincides with the Rath Yatra in Puri in the state of Odisha in eastern India.

ACRI-ST extends Quantum xcellis scale-out storage to manage 8 petabytes of satellite-based research data Quantum Corp. (NYSE: QTM) announced that ACRI-ST, a French-based scientific research organization specializing in remote sensing and modelling of physical and environmental phenomena, has extended its Quantum scale-out storage environment to provide the foundation for a new 8 PB archive project. ACRI-ST, which deployed a Quantum StorNext®-powered scale-out storage solution several years ago, has now built on that solution to support the European Space Agency’s Earth Observation Data Archiving Service (EODAS). EODAS archives satellite-based research data for past and current agency missions as well as third-party missions.

Enabling Cutting-Edge Scientific Research ACRI-ST enables scientists, university researchers, government agencies and other organizations around the world to draw from more than 20 years of data. It also offers processing services to help streamline research. In 2014, ACRI-ST deployed a StorNext multi-tier storage solution to manage the massive increase in data resulting from ESA’s launch of the Sentinel-3 satellite. The solution has been a clear success, accelerating the ACRIST workflows and ensuring that archived data is readily accessible for in-house scientists and hundreds of external researchers.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

“The mix of disk and tape in a single environment gives us the best of both worlds,” said Gilbert Barrot, CIO at ACRI-ST. “We can keep a cache of data immediately available on disk while storing most of the repository on more economical tape. Our in-house researchers can access the files they need on their own, even when data resides on tape, and they’ve been very happy with the response time.”

Expanding the Archive to Support Additional Needs In 2016, ACRI-ST won a bid to support EODAS, which meant it had to expand its archive service to provide 8 PB of capacity - 6 PB for historical data and 2 PB for live missions. “ESA wanted a robust archive that could provide bulk data retrieval and distribution,” explained Barrot. “The Quantum archive solution was perfect. We added capacity easily and inexpensively while still maintaining a small data center footprint.” ACRI-ST scaled its existing archive environment in France and built a nearly identical environment in Luxembourg through its subsidiary adwaïsEO (hosting data center in Betzdorf) that serves as the main archive site. Both the France and Luxembourg sites include a Quantum tape library and a StorNext-powered Xcellis® workflow storage system which facilitates high-performance data ingest and retrieval while providing integrated protection

and archive data management. Once data is ingested in Luxembourg, backup copies of tapes are then shipped to France for offsite disaster recovery protection. In France there is also an active vault configuration to enhance data accessibility and durability for minimal cost. In addition, ACRI-ST uses Quantum Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) capabilities, which automatically detect potential problems with tape media and move data from the suspect tape to another one. “EDLM helps us meet key EODAS requirements for data integrity,” said Barrot. “We can keep satellite data safe from loss even over long periods of time.”

Looking to the Cloud and Beyond With Quantum’s scale-out tiered storage foundation, ACRI-ST can continue to pursue new projects, whether that requires further expanding capacity, implementing new capabilities, adding HPC storage or connecting with cloudbased systems. “We have the flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of future requirements,” said Barrot. “We have the confidence that we can continue to win bids and deliver outstanding service with Quantum-based solutions.”

Quantum to Showcase Storage Solutions for HPC at ISC High Performance Conference At the ISC High Performance

2017 conference in Frankfurt, Germany (June 18-22), Quantum is highlighting storage solutions for HPC environments, including the type of multi-tier storage deployed by ACRI-ST.

Avoid costly heat and energy loss with Elfab’s thermally insulated explosion panel Pressure management experts, Elfab, have enhanced its product range further by offering an explosion panel with integral thermal insulation. For many safety critical applications, it is critical the temperature and energy within the vessels are maintained making Elfab’s thermal insulation panel an obvious choice as it combines reliable explosion protection with enhanced safety and performance characteristics. In diesel, gas and dual-fuel engines for example, explosion panels are often used to protect equipment from the potential damage caused by the combustion of unburned gases in the exhaust system rather than in the combustion chamber. High temperature exhaust gases provide a volatile process environment that makes alternative technologies such as relief valves less suitable due to their potential

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

for failure due to vibration and corrosion. Elfab’s thermal panels, in latest domed construction, are static devices designed to cope with the harshest of environments protecting people and equipment from potentially dangerous and costly explosions. Traditional explosion panels are conduc-

tive, hence, allow the critical heat and energy to escape from the vessel while being potentially harmful to workers. If touched, hence aren’t suitable for every application. Elfab developed a technically superior, thermally insulted domed explosion panel to its already industry-leading venting range to offer an explosion vent suitable to a wider range of customers and applications. Elfab’s thermal explosion vent is a single product solution ensuring minimal space required while reducing ongoing purchasing costs. By offering integral insulation, burst detection can also be offered just like any other panel in Elfab’s range, giving instantaneous notification of panel burst. To support with thermal calculations, Elfab have developed an in-house tool to provide the best solution for your venting requirements in high temperature applications.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

Mr. Gurpreet Singh, Managing Partner, United Manufacturing Company

COVER STORY

Q. “UMC” is in the business of fire and is on prominent position today. What other innovative products you have in pipeline to launch in the market? Innovation has been the philosophy of “UMC” since its inception. But most of the orders are specification based therefore we go by that but we always present innovative solutions to the buyers which are cost incentive with optimum output. Most of them are being appreciated by technocrats and we get chance to serve better.

Q. What are your plans for the international market? We have been exporting to Africa, Bhutan, Nepal etc. We have plans for expansion in the international market but it is too early to discuss about them. Let the time come we shall reveal about it.

Q. How demonetisation has impacted fire business? Good initiative by the government to discourage black marketers. We have been impacted with zero effect.

Q. What impact of GST you see on fire, safety & rescue business? Fire, safety & rescue are not fashion or luxury business. It is a necessity to safeguard life & property. Prior to GST it was zero taxation but under GST it is 28%. Which in turn going to put lot of pressure to end users and chances are slim to encourage fire safety practices. We have raised our concerns for the matter to the authorities.

Q. How “Make in India” program has impacted the industry? It is too early to say or comment. Any policy implementation requires some time to fetch results. We are hoping that something good will turn up.

Q. What is your suggestion to the second generation which is taking lead now in the business? Our generation has done our part to grow the business as a whole. Now responsibility to take this forward is on the shoulders of new generation. They should try to attain technological development in such a way so that our industry should be taken as reference point for quality and state of art internationally.

Q. There are many policies implementation by the government. What economic scenario do you perceive for fire, safety and rescue industry? Policies should be in sync with specific requirement of the industry. I think more close policies should be made to encourage an environment for quality & innovative product to be manufactured in India to reduce the dependence from outsourcing.

Q. Still after so many years of dependence & economic reforms, if we see most of fire and rescue equipments are imported. Why can’t they be manufactured in India? We have to create conducive environment for that. Indian manufacturers should be given preference in buying process by the government & this is how technically developed markets evolved & reached to this level they are today in their quality and innovation. I hope our government would implement such policies where we can be given the chance to prove our skill and craftsmanship.

Q. Would you like to give any message to our readers? I always say, Fire, Safety & Rescue equipments are life saving. Life is too precious to risk on cheap products.

Fire Safety & Protection in Retail Sector Mr. Rohit Harjani, Country Manager, India Sub Continent, Hochiki Europe (UK) Ltd. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; India Branch Office

Q. What are the fire protection/ detection trends globally & in India? As we are moving towards concentration in cities, the need for fire alarms is growing. The rural areas also getting busier in terms of business and warehousing therefore mandatory laws are being pushed even in those areas. This creates a need for fire detection and protection equipment and most areas now need advanced technologies due to complex structures being built. Fire detection is the base for any firefighting equipment to authenticate fire beside naked Eyes. Countries like Norway and UK base every-thing on fire detection due to which most fires are controlled at nascent stages. There was a massive fire due to the usage of flammable construction material but the government has taken stringent measures to eradicate the sources of fire in raw material used for construction. There has been a lot of R&D going on in the field of ESCAPE ROUTE LIGHTING SYSTEM dedicated for evacuation in case of any emergency including Fire

emergency. Intelligence has now been added by Hochiki to make this system more effective.

Q. What are the new opportunities growing in retail industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detection solution in India? We expect retail industry to grow in India big especially with online selling. Therefore warehouses for online retail companies will be opened and will give the country a lot of employment opportunities. These warehouses will give us a lot of opportunities for fire detection systems to be installed. The POS sales stores in Malls also give us big opportunities to extend the fire alarm systems sales and services. I foresee retail parks to be opened in India which are a concept in countries like UK, USA and Australia. These retail parks will give us massive fire detection and protection opportunities.

Q. How is Hochiki managing with the rising demand in India? Hochiki has been growing at a very decent

pace in India and we are happy that our sales and marketing strategy is suiting the marketplace. To manage the demand, the company plans to open a warehouse in India which is nearly there. This will reduce the lead time and increased customer satisfaction will be seen with quick replacement service if needed. We have been expanding in India and Hiring which is creation of wealth of employment for the nation which is in Line with Anglo-IndiaJapan trade understanding.

Q. What are the key challenges for installing Detection systems? The key challenges for System Integrators are laying of cable, calculation of loop length and commissioning of site as per customer requirements within limitation of law. We, at Hochiki try our best to train installers on Testing and commissioning of fire detection systems wherein we explain the importance of loop calculator software that is given free of cost to them for calculating the loop length in Hochiki systems. We also explain to them the usage of cause and effect programming and how easy it is in Hochiki systems. A lot more can be achieved out of Cause and effect programming which commissioning engineers do not wat to do on other systems.

Q. Do you have any plans and expectations for this segment in the current year. Retail has very big potential in India because India I see India as the biggest consumer market of the world. Indians create demand and world provides it. With the rapid increase in the middle class in India, it has encouraged the world to invest in India and retail would benefit the most if government becomes flexible on Multi brand retail. If multi brand retail clears the legal glitches then I see a massive growth in construction of stores, warehouses and retail parks which will see growth of the fire Industry as a whole. Warehousing and retail parks must be established between 2018-20123.

Pollution in Ports Ports are major focal points of activity and a separate category of industry in itself. They are the hubs of transport related activities connecting waterways to mainland for various goods. A healthy port connectivity system is indicator of progress of a region and augers all round development. Like any other industry, ports also have its own contribution to environmental impacts and if not addressed can cause considerable environmental damage. Since this industry is operating in both terrestrial as well as marine ecosystem the likely environmental impacts on both need to be considered together. While the terrestrial ecosystem related impacts are well documented, studied and addressed, the marine ecosystem related impacts are relatively less stressed upon. This paper is an effort to converge and documents the likely impacts on both the ecosystem for coordinated efforts to minimize the negative impact of this industry. KEYWORDS: Pollution; Ports; Ecosystem; Marine impacts; Landward Impacts. 1. INTRODUCTION Port construction and operation involves various environmental impacts. They are segregated and listed in phase-wise manner below:

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

During construction phase, the impacts are on landward side as well as on waterfront side. Construction related impacts for port facilities (Onshore) These mainly consist of following elements: Increase in Vehicular movement, use of construction equipment and high level of primary as well as secondary dust suspension are highly likely to cause adverse impact on Air Quality. There can be severe impact on flora and fauna in the area due to cutting off of the project area which used to be available for unhindered movement of various animal species, Loss of habitat due to cutting of trees and clearing vegetation. Land use may change due to levelling and construction. Indirect impacts like storage of material, disposal of wastes etc. Wastes generated during construction may get disposed in

nearby areas if there is no control or its disposal in the nearby coastal waters is also possible. Waterfront side impacts: Dredging/blasting is required to be done for construction of approach channels. Disposal of silt/dredged material at appropriate place is a must for avoiding adverse marine impact. Marine Ecological impacts are highly likely due to dredging/offshore activities. This involves temporary loss to ecosystem due to dredging as well as offshore construction activities, where there is possibility of construction material getting deposited or dumped in adjacent areas of construction. Accidental spillages of construction material also pose a big threat to the marine environment. Port construction may involve Construction of breakwaters, toe bunds, barriers, berthing jetties/facilities, Cargo Handling and storage area constructions etc. This results in changes in ecosystem already existing in the area. This may result in damage to the rare and endangered species which may exist in the area.

IN FOCUS

3. OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS: There are likely impacts on land as well as waterfront side during operation phase. They are classified and listed as water side impacts and Other impacts and covered in detail below: Water side impacts: Due to operational facilities on shore there will be waste water generation and discharge related to port operations like, cleaning liquid waste cargo spillages etc. Also there will be domestic waste water generated as there will be number of people working in the port area. This if not properly collected, treated and reused/discharged will cause perpetual damage to water quality. Discharge of untreated sewage/sullage water in to the water body next door is considered as an easy option for disposal and causes great damage to ecosystem. Ballast water discharge: Ships operating from the ports have their own system of Ballast Water Operations. This water is taken from water body to balance out the shipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cargo holds so that the ship remains stable during the loading/unloading and travel. Upon completion of loading/unloading the ballast water is emptied out. Ballast water from different areas may be carried and discharged into the local environment causing large scale impact and massive loss of biodiversity due to invasive species being transported through the ballast water. Oil discharge from the ships as well as from foreshore facilities may cause damage to marine ecology. Waste dumping in the sea is an easy option. This may result in high concentration of heavy metals in the sea water leading to bioaccumulation in the fish and other marine aquatic species. If it enters the food chain, it may adversely impact the entire ecosystem and humans as well. Metals/ oils spills during maintenance of ships also have the same risk of contamination causing damage to the marine ecosystem. Water discharge during pigging of discharge lines: The discharge lines are cleaned of the material using water. This water contains sizable quantum of

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

material in the pipeline. When such water is discharged into the water body, it may result in large scale pollution of water body. Spillage of cargo material into water: Loading and unloading operations may result in spillage of the cargo into the water. This may be in smaller quantities in carefully planned operations or in large quantities when operations are not neat and tidy or in case of accidental discharges during operations. Such accidental spillages are more likely in rough weather operations. Such spillages can have large scale cumulative adverse impact during operation phase. Other Impacts: Air Pollution: Various sources of Air pollution in port operations are Flue gases from I/C engines of ships, small boats, tugs resulting in emissions of SO2, NOx and PM. Fumes/ VOC coming from storage both on board the ships as well as on shore. Fugitive emissions during handling of cargo Noise pollution due to operation of heavy machinery Use of DG sets and emissions during maintenance activities involving welding/gas cutting etc.

4. MITIGATIONS MEASURES: There are many systems which are used and are proven to be effective in abatement and control of pollution in the ports. They are: Pipe conveyors: These are best in preventing fugitive

emissions during loading and unloading of cargo. Enclosed conveyors: This also prevents secondary dust emissions due to wind in the port area. Pile spray system: Wetting of the material results in lesser fugitive emissions. However this can be used in certain materials only. Dry fogging system: Uses less amount of water but has limitation for use. Covered storage: This is an option available for cargo which is easy to handle. However this is a very costly option. Curtains while unloading: Use of curtains prevents accidental discharge in to the water. Material can be recovered and used. Mechanized handling systems: This involves using screw type unloaders this results in much less spillage and loss of material as compared to bucket unloaders. Mechanized systems can also use prepacked containers for ease and pollution free loading unloading. Diligent use of various systems can keep the pollution due to ports at minimum level.

Cylinder Less Automatic Fire Detection & Suppression System Technology

Universal use: high flexibility of BlazeCut Tube and A, B, C and electrical fires class rating can protect almost any space High cost-effectivity: zero maintenance, long working life, automatic activation beats the competition in cost-effectivity

Stainless steel fittings

No cylinder for storage of extinguishing agent needed: the whole system can be placed inside the protected enclosure Option to connect the pressure switch and other additional components like signaling unit to perform further functions

Pressure gauge Heat sensitive BlazeCut Tube with the extinguishing agent

The system consists of a heat sensitive BlazeCut Tube made of special plastic which is closed by a stainless steel fitting on each end. The BlazeCut Tube has both storage and detection function which means that the extinguishing agent is stored directly in the BlazeCut Tube and no additional storage device such as cylinder is needed. BlazeCut system operates automatically independent of any power supply by detecting higher temperatures. When the temperature in the protected enclosure rises to a critical threshold, the detection tube melts down at the point where the affecting temperature is the highest. Melting the tube creates a hole releasing the entire extinguishing agent stored in the tube onto the source of the fire. BlazeCut “T” Series systems are supplied in various lengths of the tube and volumes of agent. The standard volume of agent ranges from 0,25 kg to 1,0 kg, which is sufficient to protect enclosures with volume between 0,25 m³ and 1,00 m³ respectively.

Clean and effective extinguishing agent: world-wide known and accepted HFC gases (HFC-227ea and HFC-236fa) No pressurization needed: the system works by increasing pressure of the extinguishing agent when heated Automatic operation based on increased temperature: ideal for non-occupied spaces or spaces out of sight Fully independent: system is operational 24/7 without any power supply No maintenance during entire working life = zero maintenance costs Long working life: 5 ~ 6 years depending on the type of application No harm to protected enclosure and people when discharged Very simple installation: no training required for installation Pressure gauge to monitor the pressure at any time

FIRE

Industrial laundry facilities rely on thermal imaging to ensure fire safety Early warning fire detection system developed by MoviTHERM makes use of FLIR A310 cameras.

Large-scale laundry facilities face many fire risks. Combustible fabrics, the possible presence of flammable or reactive contaminants, and unmonitored or uncontrolled heating of laundry piles all increase the potential for spontaneous combustion. In order to prevent fires, FLIR integration partner MoviTHERM was asked to develop a thermal monitoring system that is able to spot heat build-up before a fire has the chance to spread. The innovative system includes advanced thermal automation cameras from FLIR.

pontaneous combustion is a wellknown problem at laundry facilities. The phenomenon depends on a number of conditions, including the availability of a fuel source, an oxidizing agent and a heat source.

How Laundry Fires are Starting The linens themselves provide a readily available fuel source, especially when dealing with materials with high cotton content. Cotton materials begin to oxidize when surface temperatures reach 95Â°C. If the heat due to oxidization is not permitted to dissipate, the material may continue to heat until the point of ignition, resulting in a spontaneous fire. Cotton laundry can often be contaminated with organic cooking oils that can selfignite if dried and stored. When cleaning and petroleum products, or natural fats and oils are added to the mix, the potential for

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

spontaneous combustion will increase. It is not difficult to imagine how piles of soiled laundry left in the sun, or exposed to heat sources inside a laundry facility can become potential sites for spontaneous ignition, particularly if the soiled linens have been exposed to flammable or reactive substances. Due to the inherent risks, a multitiered fire prevention, detection, and response plan is needed.

The FLIR A310 produces crisp thermal images of 320 x 240 pixels and detects temperature differences as small as 50 mK.

The MoviTHERM MIO (Intelligent I/O) module provides discrete electrical connections needed to generate alarms and warnings based on predefined temperature conditions.

Early Warning System FLIR integration partner MoviTHERM (Irvine, CA, USA) was approached by an industryleading linen and uniform supply company to design and deploy a thermal monitoring system. The intent of the monitoring system was to track the critical temperatures at key processing locations in their laundry facility, and generate warnings and alarms when temperatures exceeded expected limits. The system was not designed to replace

any existing fire detection and response protocols, because the customer did not wanted to rely on one system, or even one type of system. Rather, the system was designed to function as an early warning system – detecting areas in the facility where runaway oxidization and early ignition may be starting to occur. By providing advance warning earlier on pathway to ignition, costly, and potentially life-threatening fires can be averted before they are permitted to start and spread.

Flir Automation Cameras To address the specific challenges, MoviTHERM adopted a distributed, multicamera net work topology based on nine FLIR A310 came ras and three MIO-8 multichannel intelli gent I/O controllers. The FLIR A310 cameras generate the thermal images used for the analysis. Specific regions of interest can be defined in each camera scene, so the early warning system can respond to unexpected temperature anomalies while at the same time, ignoring features that are expected to be out-of-range under normal operating conditions. The digital output channels of the three MIO- 8 units are connected to industrial (audible) alarm annunciators and warning lights. These early-warning devices alert workers in the immediate proximity of the potential danger, enabling workers to start corrective action or evacuate to safety,

Basic requirements of PeopleFriendly design of the workplace From 17 to 19 October the international trade fair A+A 2017 featuring the 35th International Congress for Occupational Safety and Occupational Medicine offers a comprehensive range of information on the topic of ergonomics and workplace design. In conjunction with a definition of the term “ergonomics” and its sub-topics this line-up will be elucidated below according to thematic focal points by Prof. Dr. Ralf Pieper of Wuppertal University. What is Ergonomics? The invented term ergonomics was coined in 1857 by the Polish natural scientist Wojciech B. Jastrzebowski from a combination of two Ancient Greek words • ergon meaning “work” and • nomos meaning “principle” or “law” as the “science of activity”. In this context Jastrzebowski made a distinction between the “science of damaging activities” and a “science of useful activities”. He focused his further definition on “useful activities” and set out a series of further correlations such as • “Labour”, • “Entertainment”, • “Thinking” and • “Devotion”. These attributions which can more easily be associated with an anthropological and culturalistic viewpoint, which were also charged with a religious connotation by Jastrzebowski, are without any social consideration. This means that they at no point reflect the spirit of industrialisation that occurred in 1857 in the first generally perceived world market crisis. With Jastrzebowski one seeks in vain for a description of the industrial or other working conditions and the social and political climate of workers or an examination of the forms of power and hegemony, conflicts and resistance in labour relations.

inclusive and non-discriminatory design as well as eco design. Here ergonomics is integrated into company and inter-company labour and wage policies of social partners. Norms1 play a key role here as does the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization (Kommission Arbeitsschutz und Normung – KAN)2 funded in this context by social partners, the state, statutory accident insurance and the German norms board DIN. In terms of the discipline itself a differentiation is made between • physical/corporeal (especially anthropometry, bio-mechanics, physical forces, perception and sensory perception), • cognitive (especially information processing) and

workflows and the working environment, • in occupational-physiological, occupational-psychological and industrial hygiene questions, in particular working rhythms, working hours and break time regulations as well as • in other ergonomics issues. This basically describes what areas of activity in occupational prevention the field of ergonomics covers5 and, at the same time, what the central areas of research for work science are. This joint task of works physicians and occupational safety specialists, who by law must be independent of company instructions, can be seen in the light of the goals to be achieved by appointing them in accordance with § 1 of the German Occupational Safety Act (Arbeitssicherheitsgesetz – ASiG): • Application of regulations serving safety and occupational health corresponding to specific occupational conditions • Realisation of established occupational health and safety findings to improve occupational safety as well as • Achievement of the highest possible level of effectiveness of the measures serving occupational safety.

Organisational Fields of Ergonomics and Ergonomics as a General Employer Obligation Employer obligations arising from the German Occupational Safety Act (Arbeitssicherheitsgesetz – ASiG) in terms of ergonomics and their related support tasks are clearly laid out and defined in • the Working Hours Act of 1994, • the Occupational Safety Act of 1996 and • Workplace Ordinance 1976/2004/2016, • The working appliance usage ordinance (= Industrial Safety Ordinance 2002/2015) and • Ordinance on Occupational Healthcare 2008/2013. Here the corresponding occupational safety measures to be determined, laid down and implemented by the employer, as defined in § 2, Section 1 of the Working Conditions Act (Arbeitsschutzgesetz –

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

ArbSchG), comprise the prevention of accidents at work, work-related health hazards (i.e. work-related illnesses and occupational illnesses) including measures for people-friendly workplace design. This also particularly applies to the humane operational organisation (for instance with a view to forms of business autonomy and mobile professions) as well as working hours. Consequently, employers must establish an overarching works prevention policy pursuant to § 4, No. 4 of the Working Conditions Act (Arbeitsschutzgesetz – ArbSchG) when planning occupational safety measures.

Ergonomics when Designing Work Systems and Using Work Appliances When providing and using work appliances the employer must, pursuant to § 3 of the Industrial Safety Ordinance (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung – BetrSichV), taking into consideration all hazards that arise from the work appliances themselves, the working environment and the working tools/equipment in relation to all activities (industrial work, services, healthcare, education, training etc.). This means a series of aspects relating immediately to ergonomics must be taken into consideration such as fitness for use of working appliances including ergonomic, age and ageing-appropriate design, the safety-relevant and ergonomic contexts between the workplace, working appliances, work procedures, work organisation, workflow, working hours and work tasks as well as the physical and mental burdens of employees that arise when using working appliances. In Technical Rules for Industrial Safety 1151 (Technische Regel Betriebssicherheit TRBS 1151) these aspects to be taken into consideration by the employer are laid down with presumption of conformity. Fundamental concepts of ergonomics are anchored in their definitions: work system, interaction and the stress-strain model (“Belastungs-Beanspruchungs-Modell”)6. On the basis of the hazard assessment pursuant to § 3 of the Industrial Safety Ordinance (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung

– BetrSichV), included in the judgement of working conditions pursuant to § 5 of the Working Conditions Act (Arbeitsschutzgesetz – ArbSchG), measures must be laid down pursuant to § 6 of the Industrial Safety Ordinance (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung – BetrSichV). In accordance with this the employer must ensure that the working appliance is used safely and that the principles of ergonomics are observed. The use of working appliances must be set up and organised in such a way that stresses and incorrect strains that might endanger the health and safety of employees are avoided or, if this is not possible, reduced to a minimum. The employer must ensure employees are in a position to use the working appliance without endangering themselves or other persons. In addition, § 6 of the Industrial Safety Ordinance (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung – BetrSichV) requires that, for instance, principles of humane workplace design are respected. This means the working appliances including their interface with humans must be adapted to the physical characteristics and abilities of the employees and biomechanical stresses must be avoided during use that might have damaging effects on users. To be taken into consideration here is the working environment, the location of access points and the centre of gravity of the working appliances, the necessary posture, body movement, distance to the body, necessary personal protective equipment as well as mental strain of the employees. Furthermore, employees must have sufficient freedom of movement. Working speeds and work rhythms must be avoided that could lead to endangering the employees. Moreover, operating and supervising activities must be avoided that require unlimited and lengthy concentration.

Your Guide to Silica Dust

CS or respirable crystalline silica is one of the most common naturally occurring elements on the planet. Found in the earth’s crust crystalline silica is a key component of soil, sand, granite and other naturally occurring minerals. According to HSE, respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is the second biggest risk to construction workers, following asbestos1. In fact, it was revealed that it was responsible for between 10 and 20 annual deaths over the last 10 years2 There are three main types of crystalline silica; Quartz is the most common, followed by cristobalite and tridymite.

Where can Silica Dust or Crystalline Silica be found? Crystalline Silica can be encountered in a great number of industries including construction, marine, mining, quarrying, stone work, tunnelling, glass and ceramic manufacturing and foundry. Furthermore any abrasive activities that cut, chip, drill or grind can cause silica dust to form. Other examples can include removal

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JULY 2017

of paint, oils, rust or dust from a surface, concrete mixing, drilling or cutting, rock drilling, sawing, pneumatic drilling and abrasive blasting to smooth surfaces such as glass, or stone.

3. Acute silicosis: In this case the individual has been exposed to very high levels of silica dust and symptoms will usually make themselves known within a matter of weeks.

What are the risks of being exposed to silica dust?

Symptoms

Awareness of the dangers posed by breathing in RCS is increasing but still many workers do not fully understand health risks of RCS exposure. Respirable crystalline silica can cause irreversible fibrocardiovascular diseases such as silicosis, cancer and even pulmonary tuberculosis. Silicosis in particular is incurable so workers who are exposed to silica are at big risk.

Often symptoms of silicosis can take up-to 15 years to occur so it is important that workers are aware of what these may be so they know what to look out for: 1. Debilitating shortness of breath 2. Loud cough 3. Feeling of weakness 4. Weight loss 5. Chest pains 6. Night sweats

There are 3 types of silicosis:

How to reduce exposure to silica dust/ prevent silicosis?

1. Chronic silicosis: This is the most common type and usually occurs after 10 years exposure to low level silica dust. 2. Accelerated Silicosis: This takes 5 - 15 years to develop and is a result of high level exposure.

• Conduct a detailed risk assessment to identify all hazards including RCS. • Control exposure to dust wherever possible and make a conscious effort to minimise dust. Control of RCS at source is the first line of defence such as local

So what RPE will protect you? • Disposable half masks are not suitable for providing protection against RCS in all types of RCS-generating processes but may be suitable for some low level environments for example when clearing rubble and screening demolition material. HSE guidance states that the process of cutting paving and kerbstones with rotary cutters requires RPE with an assigned

protection factor (APF) of at least 40, so a full-face fitted with P3 particle filter or powered air respirator with P3 particle filter. • For a high level of protection use a Powered Air Respirator (PAPR) like the Scott Safety Duraflow combined with an FH31 or FH6 headtop. The Duraflow is comfortable for use over long periods of time and highly durable. Headtops are a great tool of protection as they don’t require a face fit, reducing the likelihood of leaks, and they offer protection to people with beards. The FH6 headtop also offers the added benefit of a built in hard hat, suitable for construction sites. • The Promask2 with Pro2Flex filters is a low-profile full-face mask that offers a light-weight ergonomic design with a wide visor for an unobstructed field of vision. The Promask2 also offers clear speech technology and an airflow management system that prevents the visor from misting.

• AVIVA with Pro2Flex offers an affordable, quick and easy solution. This reusable half-mask is made with a comfortable, silicone free reflex seal meaning it is suitable for areas with paint spraying and can achieve easy fit. It also offers an innovative fit-check button for the wearer to ensure they have achieved a good seal. In addition, its intelligent voice panel means that the wearer can be clearly heard, eliminating the need for short-term mask removal to talk. It is also compatible with a wide range of other PPE. • As a general rule when purchasing RPE for those working in an RCS environment look at the initial risk assessment and consider the specific environment the worker will be in, the level of protection they will require and the length of time they will be required to wear the equipment for. Most importantly, ensure workers remain protected: RPE will save their lives. Be aware of the risks and invest in RPE.
