The four global pillars of tec.nicum When development engineers and production planners are developing new machines or modifying existing ones, they need to comply with the applicable national laws. For example, in Europe, the machines must meet the requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EU. However, in Brazil, it is Machinery Directive NR 12 which needs to be complied with. One of the focuses of the work carried out by the TÜV Rheinland certified engineers in terms of functional safety (FSE) is in the associated mandatory risk assessment. In Europe, compliance with the Machinery Directive is certified by means of a CE label. The operators of machines and systems must comply with the guidelines on health, safety and the environment (HSE) as defined in Europe in Article 153 EC or in the USA by OSHA - also known under the collective heading of safety in the workplace. The tec.nicum academy develops made-to-measure training programmes which are tailored to the individual specialist interests and requirements of those taking part. These include, for example, two to three-day workshops. On the first day, the expert knowledge is communicated in a block of theory. On the second and, if applicable, the third day, the participants can implement what they have learned in practice under the expert supervision of the speakers based on a current project within their company. The expert staff at tec.nicum have sound knowledge of the legal framework conditions, for example:
■ Technical safety advice based on ISO 12100:2010, which serves as the global basis for the relevant national standards
■ The design and / or upgrade of production machines and systems based on the regional or national guidelines, laws and ordinances applicable
■ Functional safety for validation and certification in accordance with ISO 13849-1, ISO 13849-2 and IEC 62061 ■ Sound knowledge on applied safety technology ■ Know-how on standardised EU norms and statutory regulations ■ Expertise on calculation of technical safety indices ■ Guidelines for tests and inspections Overall, the range at tec.nicum covers four columns all over the world: learning in the academy section, consultancy services in the consultancy section, designing safety solutions in the engineering section and practical implementation in the integration section.

CEO CORNER SAFETY AWARENESS - Right from School Education Realising the vulnerability of the children on our roads, various discussions and meetings were held across the country debating the need to introduce Road Safety as a separate subject in the school curriculum. Schools and teachers across the country felt that teaching schedule is always under pressure, and introducing yet another subject would overload the already over burdened student. However, everybody agreed that it is necessary to make the student aware of the hazards of the road as well as to develop an attitude of defensive road usage amongst them. Road safety is the biggest challenge faced by India in the recent years and periodic regulations are done to achieve the goal. But not all the rules and measures are followed. Some fail to attain success in the grass root level. Hence it has become necessary to educate the people right from the initial level that is the school level. Young India is emerging as responsible set of people. So the government has decided to introduce road safety education in India at the school level. Keeping in view the road accidents and violation of rules happening in the country, CBSE has decided to introduce road safety in the curriculum so that the safety rules and measures are educated to the school children. This will help in attaining literacy of the road signs and rules and the drivers will be aware of the responsibility while driving. At least it is a trial method taken by the government for the safety of the commuters and travelers on roads. This is done through short film making in which kids actively participate with excitement and hence end up learning the various road rules which is helpful for them in the long run. The inclusion of the road safety in the school curriculum is done effectively with books prescribed for classroom teaching of traffic sense, rules and measures. The education of traffic signs also plays a major role in the school syllabus. Various workshops and seminars are conducted in schools in which total education of traffic rules in imparted to the students so that they become aware of the rules prevalent in their country and grow up to become responsible citizens of India.

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.

here are officially more connected devices than people in the world! Gartner estimates that there will be 11.19 bn connected devices in 2018 setting the stage for 20.4 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices to be deployed by 2020. These staggering numbers are a clear indication of the momentum of IoT and its growing popularity in our day to day lives. Today, amid the flurry of smart homes, self-driving cars and smart wearable devices, globally, only about 15% of commercial buildings are “smart,” with connected building automation systems in place. Of course, this is all set to change. In fact, the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) market is projected to have the fastest and largest growth in connected devices between 2016 and 2021, surpassing even smart homes, according to the Smart Building Research firm Memoori². Why? Because, with buildings consuming 40% of the world’s energy, there is a need for energy efficient solutions. Also, the myriad, disparate systems such as HVAC, Lighting, security, etc. that form the crux of
42
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | APRIL 2018
a smart commercial building have ushered in the need for integration and effective utilization of resources. Use of IoT and cloud-based applications makes it possible to achieve these two objectives – making buildings energy efficient, comfortable, automated and truly smart.
Smarter Technology for Productive, Sustainable Buildings. Legacy building controls systems are overbuilt and expensive for most commercial building owners and operators. Those systems are being displaced by new, born-digital solutions. Fueled by the proliferation of affordable sensors and cloud computing, this new breed of building intelligence solutions combines the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless communications, big data and cloud-based algorithms to sense, predict and proactively manage the needs of the building. These intelligence solutions consistently monitor, manage and control various dimensions of the building such as indoor air quality, thermal comfort, lighting and
sound keeping the occupant at the heart of the strategy and working to improve efficiency and productivity. Studies show that small changes such as improved ventilation will boost the productivity of the occupants by 11% while better lighting will spark a whopping 23% jump in efficiency. Similarly, if the indoor environment is too cold the occupant’s output comes down by nearly 50% and if the commercial building is

too warm, the attendance drops by 18% and project turnaround times increase by 13%. Building Intelligence solution take the benefits of IoT to a whole new level, ensuring an optimal indoor environment for enhanced productivity. It’s no surprise that IoT powered Building Intelligence is quickly becoming an indispensable business resource. Take for example, 75F’s predictive, proactive building intelligence system. It understands that your building is a dynamic entity. That’s why it uses the Internet of Things and cloud computing to predict, analyze, monitor and control your building’s hot and cold spots, air quality concerns, lighting imbalances and energy inefficiencies before they occur. It gathers and analyses data, formulates and recommends future actions making the building automated and truly smart. By continually monitoring a room’s needs, analyzing incoming data, and controlling what goes in and out, the 75F system effectively manages your building’s energy loads. This prevents thermal discomfort by eliminating temperature imbalances, regardless of which heating or cooling system you have. More than simply turning the lights on or off, it considers factors about your building before determining the ideal time to adjust the lighting. And, it allows you to remotely monitor, manage and control your buildings’ HVAC, lighting and energy consumption from anywhere using our suite of web and mobile apps, Facilisight. All this while saving you up to 50% on your HVAC and lighting energy

Safety in Welding By S.K. Palit, Head-CCC & Strategic Support - Equipment, SGP & WAPS, Ador Welding Ltd.
S
afety is a critical consideration for any welding project. Arc welding is a safe occupation when proper precautions are taken. But, if safety measures are ignored, welders face an array of hazards which can be potentially dangerous, including electric shock, fumes and gases, fire and explosions and more. Welders are members of an occupational group which is exposed to a number of different environmental problems: • Electricity • Electromagnetic fields • UV, IR and visible light radiation • Air pollution • Fire and Spatter • Noise • Ergonomics To help keep welders safe, organizations such as the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offer safety guidelines to help control, minimize or to help employers and workers avoid welding hazards. Employers should ensure all workers have an opportunity to comply with the following important guidelines in the workplace: • Read and understand manufacturer instructions for equipment • Carefully review material safety data sheets
46
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | APRIL 2018
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

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.

Toxic Chemicals â&#x20AC;&#x153;The degree of severity depends upon the nature of chemicals, the duration of exposure and the safe procedures adopted for handling toxic chemicals.â&#x20AC;? - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The number of chemicals used in industry is very large and grows each year. Most of the chemicals available in the market are dangerous in one way or other and therefore it needs more attention to understand their potential hazards and control measures. Lack of awareness on these substances has caused many major accidents and some of them even have resulted in catastrophes like Bhopal, Mexico, Seveso, Chernobyl, etc. The hazards encountered by the industry can be classified as: (i) physical hazard, (ii) mechanical hazard, (iii) chemical hazard, (iv) biological hazard, (v) radiation hazard, (vi) electrical hazard, (vii) fire and explosion hazard, etc. Among these, chemical hazard need more attention because it involves thousands of hazardous chemicals, which not only pose danger to the health of workers but also to the community itself. According to the nature of hazards, chemicals can be broadly classified as: (i) combustibles, (ii) flammables, (iii) explosives, (iv) substances react with air and/or water, (v) oxidising agents, (vi) radioactive substances, (vii) toxic substances and (viii) corrosives. However, this article is confined to Toxic Substances only.
2.0 TOXIC SUBSTANCES: Toxic substances are substances, which may cause harmful effect by absorption into the body by (i) inhalation of dust, vapour or mist of the substance; (ii) ingestion of the substance or its vapour or mist and (iii) absorption of the substance through skin and eye. If they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may involve serious, acute or chronic health risks and even death. Some of the toxic substances are also potential fire hazard

and may act in two ways, i.e. first, the high toxicity of certain chemicals themselves may be hazardous in a fire and second, their presence within the fire zone may effectively restrict firefighting operations. As per its harmful effect on human body, the toxic chemicals can be grouped into the following: 1. Chemical Asphyxiants 2. Irritants 3. Narcotics 4. Systemic Poisons 5. Carcinogens 6. Teratogens 7. Mutagens 8. Dermatological effects. Due to limitation of space, only a brief description of the above groups are given below: 2.1 Chemical Asphyxiants: Chemical asphyxiants are those chemicals, which produces suffocation from lack of oxygen, e.g.: Acrylonitrile and its derivatives, Aniline, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Gas, Hydrogen Cyanide, Hydrogen Sulphide, Methane, Nitrobenzene, etc. 2.2 Irritants: An Irritant is a material that will readily migrate, usually through volatilization, to other parts of the body from that part to which it was exposed. These chemicals, mainly enter the body through the respiratory system, and depending on their solubility, they would affect the different parts of the system. Though these substances are non-corrosive, its prolonged or repeated contact with the skin or mucous membrane, can cause inflammation. Some of the irritants that affect the upper respiratory tract are:
Acetic Acid, Ammonia, Cynuric Chloride, Formaldehyde, Nitrochlorobenzene, Sulphur Dioxide, etc. Some of the irritants that affect the pulmonary functions are: Chlorine, Nickel Carbonyl, Nitrous Oxide, Phosgene, etc. It may be noted here that some of the pulmonary irritants are odourless and have a very low solubility, and therefore, they cause a late reaction but they are very severe. 2.3 Narcotics: Narcotic is a condition producing stupor or sleep. Narcotics and Anaesthetics have a direct effect on the nervous system including the respiratory centre. The excessive intake of narcotics and anaesthetics causes depression and eventual failure of respiration. In milder exposures, the symptoms would be dizziness, delirium, stupor, coma and convulsions. Some of the chemicals that produce narcotic and anaesthetic effects are: Aniline, Benzene, Carbon Disulphide, Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform, Ether, Nitrobenzene, Nitrous Oxide, etc. 2.4 Systemic Poisons: Systemic means spread throughout the body. Thus, systemic poisons are those substances, which spread throughout the body. Example, several Metal Oxides 2.5 Carcinogens: A carcinogen is a substance, which can cause cancer. Carcinogenic substances, if they are inhaled or ingested or if they penetrate the skin, may induce cancer in man or increase its incidents. American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has identified a number of materials
TECH UPDATE
as carcinogens. The list of carcinogens prepared by these organisations include known human carcinogens and some materials, which cause cancer in animal experiments. The substance carcinogenic to human include: 4-Aminobiphenyl, Arsenic and its compounds, Asbestos, Benzene, Benzidine, Beryllium, Cadmium and its compounds, Coal-Tar, Chromium Compounds, Ethylene Oxide, Pitches, 2-Naphthylamine, Nickel Compounds, Tobacco, Vinyl Chloride, etc. Certain chemicals are listed as probable carcinogens to humans which include: Acrylonitrile, Cadmium, Creosotes, Diethyl Sulphate, Dimethylcarbamyl Chloride, Dimethyl Sulphate, Epichlorohydrin, Ethylene Dibromide, Ethylene Oxide, Formaldehyde, Polychlorinated Biphenyls, Silica Crystalline, Styrene Oxide, Tetrachloroethylene, Trichloroethylene, Vinyl Bromide, Vinyl Fluoride, etc. The substances possibly carcinogenic to human include: Acetaldehyde, Acetamide, Acrylamide, Antimony Trioxide, Bromodichloromethane, Carbon Black Extract, Carbon Tetrachloride, Chlorinated Biphenyls, Cobalt and its Compounds, etc. 2.6 Teratogens: A Teratogen is a substance, which can cause birth defects. Examples of teratogens are Alcohol, Cocaine, Lead, Mercury Salts, Tetracycline, Tobacco, Warfarin, etc. 2.7 Mutagens: A Mutagen is a substance, which can cause change in the DNA of the cells. Mutagenic substances, when inhaled or absorbed through the skin or ingested, may lead to heritable or non-heritable genetic damage. Examples of mutagens are: Bromine, Sodium Azide, Psoralen, Benzene, X-Rays, Gamma Rays, Alpha Particles, Ultraviolet Radiation, Etc. 2.8 Dermatological effects: Dermatology means the study of skin diseases. Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin. The terms ‘dermatitis’ and ‘eczema’ are interchangeable and refer to a particular type of inflammatory reaction

of the skin, which may be triggered by internal or external factors. Occupational contact dermatitis is an exogenous eczema caused by the interaction of the skin with a chemical, biological or physical agent found in the work environment.
3.0 CRITERIA FOR TOXIC CHEMICALS: The criteria for toxic substances vary from agency to agency and also depends upon the route of entry of the substance into the body. Depending upon the toxicity of the chemicals, the chemicals can be classified into various categories. The criteria for the Classifications of toxic chemicals are based on its toxicity, which is measured as LD 50 and LC 50. LD 50 stands for Lethal Dose 50. LD 50 is the amount of material, given all at once, which causes the death of 50 percent (one half) of a group of test animals such as rat, mouse, rabbit, dog, monkey, etc. The LD 50 can be determined for any route of entry, but dermal (apply to skin) and oral (given by mouth) are most common. The LD 50 is one measure of the short term poisoning potential of a material. LC 50 stands for Lethal Concentration 50. LC 50 is the concentration of the materials in air, which causes the death of 50 percent (one half) of a group of test animals such as rat, mouse, rabbit, dog, monkey, etc. The material is inhaled over a set period of time, usually 1 to 4 hours. The LC 50 helps to determine a short term poisoning potential of a material. The criteria laid down under various statutes in India are outlined below: 3.1 MSIHC Rules: The Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules (MSIHC), 1989, framed under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, of India, lists 429 hazardous and toxic chemicals under Schedule 1, Part 2 and Threshold Quantity for 179 hazardous
chemicals under Schedule 3, Part 1 of the Rule. However, the list of “hazardous and toxic chemicals” have been revised in 2000 amendment of the Rule, which now lists 684 chemicals under “hazardous chemicals”. The MSIHC (Amendment) Rules, 2000, classify toxic chemicals into three categories viz.: (1) Extremely Toxic, (2) Highly Toxic and (3) Toxic and LD 50 and LC 50 values prescribed are shown in Table 1. 3.2 Factories Act: Section 41–F of the Factories Act, 1948, has prescribed “permissible limits of exposure” of chemical and toxic substances. The maximum permissible threshold limits of exposure of chemicals and toxic substances in manufacturing process (whether hazardous or otherwise) in any factory shall be of the value indicated in the Second Schedule of the Act. The Second Schedule in the Act lists Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) of 125 substances out of which 116 are chemicals. TLV is the occupational exposure limit established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). TLV is a registered trademark of ACGIH. TLVs are adopted by some Governments including India as their legal limits. The TLVs, which are also termed as Time Weighted Average concentration (TWA), which means that if the actually measured values in the work places, do not exceed these TWA values, it can be taken for granted that even after repeated exposures to such average concentrations during 8 hours of shift for 5 days a week and throughout the span of work life, the health of only a minimum number of workers will be adversely affected. The actual value is computed by adding the products of each sampling interval and the corresponding concentration, and dividing the sum total by the sum of all the sampling intervals, i.e.
TECH UPDATE
TWA = C1T1 + C2T2 + - - - + CnTn / T1 + T2 + - - - + Tn , where C= Concentration (airborne) and T=Time over which measurement took place (sampling interval). It is observed that occasional excursions over the TLV cannot be avoided in actual situations. Realising this, the Act has permitted for such excursions during the shift in respect of a few substances. The exposure limits during such excursions (Short Term Exposure Limit or STEL) have been prescribed for 39 substances. STEL is the acceptable exposure limit to a toxic or an irritant substance over a short period of time (TWA), usually 15 minutes. STEL is the maximum concentration of a chemical to which workers may be exposed continuously for a short period of time without any danger to health, safety or work efficiency. This term is used in occupational health, industrial hygiene and toxicology. It may be noted here that the number of times the concentration reaches the STEL should not be more than four (4) and the duration between the two (2) such occurrences should not be more than 60 minutes. 3.3 Motor Vehicles Rules: The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, of India has laid down certain criteria for classification of chemicals. As per the Rule, hazardous chemicals are classified into 3 categories, viz. (1) Toxic Chemicals, (2) Flammable Chemicals and (3) Explosives. According to the rule, the toxic chemicals are the chemicals having prescribed values of toxicity (See Table 2) and which, owing to the physical and chemical properties, are capable of producing major accident hazards. However, the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 has been amended in 2015.
3.4 Insecticides Rules: As per the Insecticides Rules, 1971, of India, the insecticides are classified into 4 categories, viz. (1) Extremely Toxic, (2) High
54
INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | APRIL 2018
Toxic, (3) Moderately Toxic and (4) Slightly Toxic. The categories are determined by the toxicity value of the insecticides (LD 50) and the criteria laid down are given in Table 3
4.0 TOXICITY OF CHEMICALS: Almost all the chemicals in the market are in one way or other affect ‘Flora and Fauna’. The degree of severity depends upon the nature of chemicals, the duration of exposure and the safe procedures adopted for handling toxic chemicals. Some of the toxic substances, which causes diseases or affect various parts of human body after a prolonged exposure are briefed below: 4.1 Occupational Lung Disease: Occupational lung diseases are most common amongst the workers who are exposed to various chemicals. Prolonged exposure to Crystalline Silica can cause Silicosis. Exposure to Asbestos can cause Asbestosis, Lung Cancer, Mesothelioma. Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis is associated with the exposure of Coal Dust. Beryllium can cause Berylliosis. Exposure to cotton, raw flax, hemp or jute dust can cause Byssinosis. Occupational Asthma can cause due to prolonged exposure of metallic salts like Platinum, Nickel, Chromium, Cobalt, Vanadium, and Tungsten Carbide. Some antibiotics and proteins also induce Occupational Asthma. Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
can result due to the exposure of dust of grain, moldy hay, sugar cane, Toluene Diisocyanate and Copper Sulphate. Asphyxiation, Irritation, Pulmonary
Oedema can result due to the exposure of nitrogen, CO2, CO, Methane, H2S, NH3, SO2, Phosgene, and Ozone. Exposure to Arsenic, Asbestos, Chromium, Radium, Nickel, Coke Oven Emissions, can lead to Lung Cancer. Various bacteria, viruses can cause Anthrax, Brucellosis. Incidentally, many cases of incidence of Silicosis, Asbestosis, Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis, Byssinosis, Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, Lung Cancer, Anthrax, etc. are reported in India, which are recognised as a compensable disease under various statutes in particular, the Factories Act. 4.2 Cardiovascular Toxins: Toxic agents like Arsenic, Chlorofluorocarbon Propellants, hydrocarbon solvents in particular, 1,1,1 – Trichloroethane, and Trichloroethylene, Organophosphate and Carbonate Insecticides can cause Cardiac Arrhythmia. Exposure to Carbon Disulphide, Carbon Monoxide and Lead, can cause Coronary Artery Disease. Exposure to Cadmium, Carbon Disulphide and Lead may result in Hypertension. Myocardium Injury may cause due to prolonged exposure of Antimony, Arsenic, Cobalt and Lead. Exposure to organic nitrates, e.g. Nitro-Glycerine and EthyleneGlycol Dinitrate may lead to Ischemic Heart Diseases. Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease can occur due to exposure of Arsenic and Lead. 4.3 Liver Toxins: Cirrhosis, Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Angiosarcoma are most common amongst the pesticide workers handling arsenic. Use of Dioxin is a potential threat to pesticide workers which can lead to Porphyria Cutanea Tarda. Ceramic
TECH UPDATE
workers handling Beryllium are likely to affect Granulomatous Disease. Workers involved in dry cleaning can affect Acute Hepatocellular Injury or Cirrhosis due to the use of Carbon Tetrachloride. Acute Hepatocellular Injury can also be caused for - painters using paints containing 2-Nitropropane; munitions workers handling Phosphorous or Trinitrotoluene; workers involved in cleaning by using solvents containing Trichloroethylene. Angiosarcoma is most common amongst rubber workers who use Vinyl Chloride. 4.4 Digestive System Toxins: Handling of Lead and Mercury for a prolonged period can result in Gingivitis, Glossitis and Stomatitis. Gastritis is a common disease found amongst the workers handling Carbon and its Salts, Carbon disulphide, Chloronaphthalenes and Chromium and its Compounds. Abdominal Pain is very common amongst the workers involved in handling Arsine, Lead, Phosphine, and Bromochloromethane. Prolonged exposure to Lead, Mercury and Pesticides can result in Diarrhoea / Constipation. 4.5 Renal Toxins: Significant exposure to metals such as Chromium; Cadmium; Mercury; Vanadium; Organic Solvents -Halogenated Hydrocarbons (Carbon Tetrachloride, Ethylene Dichloride, Chloroform, Trichloroethylene, Trichloroethane, Ethylene Chlorohydrin, Vinylidene Chloride); Non-Halogenated Hydrocarbons (Dioxane, Toluene, Methyl Cellosolve, Butyl Cellosolve, Phenol, Pentachlorophenol, Dinitrophenols); Pesticides such as Carbaryl, Arsine and Yellow Phosphorus can contribute to Acute Renal Dysfunction. Prolonged exposure to Lead, Mercury, Uranium, Carbon Disulphide, Beryllium and Organic Solvents can results in Chronic Renal Dysfunction. Exposure to Coke-Oven emissions can lead to Renal Tumour. Bladder Tumour can result in the prolonged exposure of Aromatic Amines such as Benzidine, B-Naphthylamine, 4-Nitrobiphenyl, 4-Aminobiphenyl.
4.6 Reproductive Disorders: Prolonged exposure of many toxic chemicals, without adequate protection, may result in Reproductive Disorders. Amongst them Lead and Mercury are proven toxic agents, contributing to Menstrual Disorders, Infertility and Spontaneous Abortion. Lead, Mercury, Organic Solvents, Styrene, Ionizing Radiation and DDT are probable toxic agents, which can contribute Congenital Malformations. Lead is a proven toxic agent for Stillbirth. Sperm-Related Disorders are attributed to toxic agents like Carbon Disulphide, Lead, Dibromochloropropane and Methyl Cellosolve. 4.7 Skin Disorders: Some chemicals when in contact with the skin produce Dermatological Effect for e.g. Acetic Acid, Acrylic Monomers, Cutting Oils, Detergents, Disinfectants, Epoxy Resins, Formaldehydes, Petroleum Distillates, Soap, Solvents, Turpentine, etc. Electronic workers, aircraft assembly workers, construction workers, electric utility workers and painters are prone to Contact Dermatitis due to prolonged exposure to various Epoxy Resins. Prolonged handling of Paraphenylenediamine and related Dyes, without proper protection, can result in Contact Dermatitis in hairdressers and rubber workers. Acrylic Monomers is a potential Health Hazard to dental technicians, printers, and acrylic ink manufacturers, who handle these chemicals without adequate protection. Metals like chromium, Nickel, Cobalt and Platinum can contribute Contact Dermatitis, which can be affected by cement workers, hairdressers and electronic assemblers. Pharmaceuticals like Chlorpromazine, Glutaraldehyde, Penicillin, and Neomycin can affect the health of veterinarians, health care workers and pharmacists, if they handle these chemicals without adequate protection. Outdoor workers like farmers, fishermen, sailors, etc., can get Skin Disorders from the exposure of Cutaneous Carcinogens like Ultraviolet Lights (256 to 320 nm). Radiologists, X-Ray technicians, uranium miners and refiners
are prone to Ionizing Radiations like X-Rays, Gamma Rays, Beta Rays, Gamma Particles, Protons and Neutrons. Gold miners and chemical workers exposed to Inorganic Arsenic can get various Skin Disorders. 4.8 Haematological Disorders: Toxic chemicals like Aniline, Nitroanilne, P-Chloroaniline, Toluidine, O-Toluidine, Naphtaline, Paradichlorobenzene, Nitrates and Trinitrotoluene are associated with Methaemoglobinaemia and if appropriate precautions are not taken, the workers involved in handling these chemicals, can get Haematological Disorders. The chemicals like Arsenic, Benzene, Trinitrotoluene, Pentachlorophenol, Hexachlorocyclohexane, Ethylene Glycomonomethyl or Monobutyl Ether and DDT are associated with Aplastic Anaemia. The workers involved in the manufacture of synthesis of fabrics, pesticides, rubber, solvents for varnishes, glues, paints, inks, enamels, tanning agents, dyes and cleaning agents can get Haematological Disorders.
5.0 CONCLUSION: The very purpose of identification and classification of chemicals, in particular toxic chemicals, is to fulfil the need for conveying information on protection against hazard to the user in the most direct manner. The criteria for the toxic substances vary from agency to agency and also depends upon the route of entry of the substance into the body. The degree of severity depends upon the nature of chemicals, the duration of exposure and the safe procedures adopted for handling toxic chemicals. Establishment of a structure for harmonising classification and values for toxic chemicals would have a beneficial impact on the exchange of information related to chemicals, on the cost of risk assessment and management of chemicals and ultimately on the protection of workers, the general public and the environment. The efforts initiated by various organisations may result in an ideal classification system for toxic chemicals. APRIL 2018 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Mitigation against Hostile Entry
T
he world has become a dangerous place. The threat of terrorist attacks and other forms of violence is very real. A preferred tactic intruders implement is to use some form of heavy vehicle to crash through the gate or other security structure that has been installed to prevent access to a property. Commercial, industrial and military facilities as well as other large installations have to implement strict security measures to safeguard their properties and protect the people and assets housed within them. Facilities that do not have an effective crash barrier in place may be unable to prevent a potentially catastrophic attack. A crash barrier is a security gate or similar structure specifically designed and constructed to prevent vehicles from penetrating the perimeter of a facility.
• Barriers Bollards are posts arranged in a line, at predetermined intervals, to prevent unauthorized vehicles from accessing a property. Bollards are generally used at facilities such as government and military installations that are vulnerable to a terrorist attack. There are several types of bollards viz: • Removable temporary bollards • Collapsible Bollards • Fixed Crash Bollards o Concrete Crash Bollards o Architectural Bollards o Stainless Steel Bollards
Bollards may be of a fixed nature or could be retractable. Retractable bollards are deployed where there is a need to permit authorized vehicles to enter or exit the

premise. These can be raised or lowered as per the requirements. Innovations in bollard design have led to the development of shallow mount crash-rated bollards that are able to withstand extremely high impacts with a shallow foundation. The spring action enables the bollard to bend and absorb the energy, and then return to its original start position after impact. Barriers / Blockers A crash gate or beam is a barrier that opens and closes manually or automatically to permit entry and exit. These are deployed at high-security facilities such as airports, correctional facilities and military installations. Cantilever slide gate: Cantilever style gates are deployed where there is sufficient space on one side of the opening to slide (horizontally) the gate open. No ground tracks or overhead supports are necessary. Cantilever gates are supported by two or four posts installed on one side of the roadway/opening and can be operated automatically or manually.
Overhead slide gate: An overhead slide gate is supported by an overhead beam and track system. It also slides to one side of the opening to open. Although the overhead beam and track creates an overhead restriction, the system is designed to allow tractor trailer and bus type vehicles to pass through. If space/width is a concern, overhead slide gates require less overall space for a given clear opening than cantilever systems. They can be operated either automatically or manually. Swing gate: The swing gate is supported by a post and hinges. They are most appropriate for gate openings having limited activity that do not require automation. While it is possible to automate a swing gate, those that are crash rated can only swing toward the unsecured/public
Crash beam systems These rotate 90 degrees, upwards, to open. These are available in various specifications and are even capable of stopping a heavy vehicle dead in its tracks. They can be operated either automatically or manually. Manually operated systems include counter weights to enable a single person to easily open or close the device. Unlike a crash gate, beams are intended to provide security against approaching vehicles only, not pedestrians. Road Blockers

This standard uses a “K” rating to measure the stopping power of a barrier in relation to the speed and weight of a vehicle that crashes into it. The standard K rating weight for a vehicle was established at 15,000 lbs. The original DoS standard included “distance of penetration” levels L3 (3 ft. or less), L2 (3 ft. to 20 ft.) and L1 (20 ft. to 50 ft.). The new standard eliminated levels L1 and L2, and established an allowable penetration of no more than 1 meter (3.3 ft.). As the State Department no longer certifies crash tests, The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) ratings are now the standard for crash test ratings. These are used to measure both speed and penetration. Under ASTM International Designation F 265607, the speed ratings are differentiated based on the type of vehicle, such as a passenger vehicle, pickup truck, lightduty vehicle, etc.: Small passenger car (C) (2430lbs): • C40 (40mph) (38.0-46.9 mph) • C50 (50mph) (47.0-56.9 mph) • C60 (60mph) (57.0mph-above) Pickup truck (P)2300 (5070lbs): • PU40 (40 mph) (38.0-46.9 mph) • PU50 (50 mph) (47.0-56.9 mph) • PU60 (60 mph) (57.0-above mph) Medium-duty truck (M) (15 000lbs): • M3050 (30 mph) (28.0-37.9 mph) • M4065 (40 mph) (38.0-46.9 mph) • M5080 (50 mph) (47.0-above mph)

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | APRIL 2018
Heavy goods vehicle (H) (65 000lbs): • H30 (30 mph) (28.0-37.9 mph) • H40 (40 mph) (38.0-46.9 mph) • H50 (50 mph) (47.0-above mph) A “P” rating is assigned to indicate the distance of penetration of the test vehicle upon impact with the barrier. The four classification levels are as follows: P1: < 1 m (3.3 ft.) P2: 1.01 to 7 m (3.31 to 23.0 ft.) P3: 7.01 to 30 m (23.1 to 98.4 ft.) P4: 30 m (98 ft.) or greater As an example, a PU40 P1 crash barrier could stop a pickup truck travelling at 40 mph with a penetration distance no greater than 3.3 ft. An H50 P3 crash barrier would be capable of stopping a heavy goods vehicle moving at 50 mph with a penetration distance between 23.1 and 98.4 ft.
Barrier Selection Careful consideration of the following factors is necessary: • The vulnerability of the facility to a vehicle attack. • The high-vulnerability areas. • Traffic analyses around the facility - such as the most likely types of attack vehicles and potential paths vehicles may take to approach. • The size of the opening and available space on the side. • Level or levels of crash protection required This risk assessment will provide a better understanding of the types of vehicles that pose the biggest threat to the facility. This will help determine the best crash barrier and rating that will meet the site conditions. Reputable crash barrier manufactures offer products that clearly indicate which (if any) of the DoS/ASTM testing standards they comply with.
