INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

Fire & Safety Industry: Making the right shift Emerging economies witnessing increasing construction of commercial spaces, such as supermarkets, multiplexes, shopping malls, hypermarkets, real estate, and office buildings, have also triggered the demand for detection and suppression systems to support the government norms and regulations. Enterprises across the globe are progressively spending on fire safety and security of infrastructure, thus reducing the damage caused by fire accidents. However, high initial investment for the installation of these systems coupled with costly maintenance and replacement services is anticipated to curb the market growth. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire & safety equipment market has a strong growth potential and market revenues are expected to reach to about USD4.94 billion in 2019. The demand for fire & safety equipment is rising due to the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic growth, rapid industrialization, as well as growing commercial sector and real estate industry. The fire protection market is highly fragmented and is majorly dominated by large unorganized players with strong regional presence. Presently, there are only a few players in the organized market with pan India presence. The market is also flooded with counterfeit products and cheap imports from China. However, the Indian market has witnessed the advent of global giants from the fire safety industry over the last decade. The usage and application of fire safety equipment is continuously increasing with corporations and commercial entities laying more emphasis on fire safety and security. Many state governments have now made it mandatory for commercial establishments to ensure proper compliance of fire safety norms. With the intensification of competition as a result of entry of small domestic players as well as large multinational players in the market, innovation and product differentiation are likely to play a key role over the next five years. India fire safety equipment market is witnessing sharp increase with the remarkable growth in demand for firefighting, detection and firefighter personal protection equipments.

COVER STORY

Midas Safety : The success journey through innovation Q. Midas is today India’s leading Personal Protective Equipment Manufacturing enterprise and one of the leading hand protection manufacturing companies in the World. Tell us something about your awesome journey so far. We are one of the largest private label manufacturers of gloves in the world. Midas started its journey in 1977 to manufacturing knitted gloves in Canada. Midas expanded and diversified into making cut & sewn gloves in Sri Lanka and later ventured into polymer dipping of gloves with PVC, Latex, Nitrile and PU over time. In the early 90s, Midas established its distribution division in Dubai focused on ‘Head to Toe’ personal protection and offering a one stop PPE solution to the customers. Midas serves customers in over 50 countries across the world.

Q. How is Midas positioning itself in the Indian Fire & Safety market? In India, we have diversified into cotton, high performance knitted and dotted gloves, masks and helmet production. For other safety products we have established relationships with reputed global suppliers who produce at international standards. Midas spares no efforts to be a one stop solution for Head to Toe PPE requirements to its customers. The Indian market is unique and at a nascent stage in PPE adoption. It has a mix of customers from - the well informed to the not so aware. Multinationals with manufacturing bases in India, are bringing in the best global practices in safety and demanding PPE of international standards in their own plants. They are also enforcing these standards on to their vendors. Many medium and small manufacturing enterprises, are also initating basic PPE; to improve employee welfare and safety at the least possible cost.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

The Indian government is on a reformative drive to bring positive changes to labour laws and is working out enforcement and compliance mechanisms, to ensure labour welfare. In my opinion, we have many exciting years ahead and the journey will be enriching for both, Midas and the industry. We at Midas believe that Safety is for all, no matter how small or big. For the diverse requirements of the Indian market, we have product offerings from basic to extremely specialized usage and these are made available with the best in class comfort and performance.

Q. What is your new launch about? How it is different from existing product ranges. We have reorganized our existing product offerings, addressed portfolio gaps and have launched 3 brands - NINJA, TECHTION & VALPRO. NINJA is our international offering of Hand Protection already servicing safety needs across high compliance driven regions of North America, Europe, Australia and Latin America. TECHTION and VALPRO are Midas Head to Toe PPE offerings, which have gained massive popularity within the Middle East and other emerging markets of the world

Q. Please tell us how you and your company go about spreading awareness about safety wear among both your clients and people at large who need to know? Is mere advertising enough? While advertising does play an important role to create awareness around safety, it’s not always enough. As a responsible safety solutions provider, Midas encourages active engagement from its teams with customers and end-users.

During these customer engagements, we at Midas learn of some real safety needs and get an opportunity to educate how our brands can provide great solutions that address their risks with relevance. Awareness also comes from using and experiencing our safety brands. This is facilitated through product demos and display sessions at end-users, interactions during safety week and product trials etc. Our brand strategy is aligned to address the diverse requirements of the Indian market and every customer will find a safety solution, matching their needs. www.isrmag.com

COVER STORY

Mr. Sivakumar Krithivasan Business Unit Head – India Midas Safety Private Limited

Q. What is the competition you face today in your business? The Indian market is still at the early stage of PPE usage and is expected to grow as awareness for safety increases. There are already established local and international manufacturers serving the Indian market. However, there is room for everybody and given the diverse segment and nature of the Indian market, there are numerous choices. Midas will always uphold its global reputation of being a responsible, trusted and innovative provider of PPE solutions. www.isrmag.com

Q. What are the challenges faced by Midas in India & how are you going to out beat those challenges? I touched upon this earlier and one of the principal agendas for our brands Ninja, Techtion & Valpro will be, to create adequate awareness around safety–with actual users and employers This calls for a paradigm shift in thinking - “Return on Investment in PPE” versus “Reduced PPE Expenses”. Midas believes no short-cuts and consider in this to be the only way to garner long term growth for the industry and its

brand offerings.

Q. What are the Future Plans of Midas for Indian and the Global market? “Make in India” and “Make for India” … is the mantra. We have recently doubled our factory’s capacity at our Coimbatore plant and are fueling additional investments behind masks and helmets. Given the PPE potential, Midas is committed to significant manufacturing and R&D investments for India. AUGUST 2019 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that anyone over the age of 85 is 3.8 times more likely to die in a fire than the rest of the population. If the elderly folks in your home are alone from time to time, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to ensure that smoke detectors are installed in every room, not just the kitchen. This is because things such as mobility, mindset and health complications must be factored in when it comes to dealing with senior citizens. It is insensitive to expect elders to act as quickly as younger adults, which is why you need smarter smoke detection systems. Installing these will not only alert the occupants of the house but will also alert you so that you can take the necessary action to rush to their aid and call the authorities. Besides installing fire alarm systems and smoke detectors, have a word with the elderly members and let them know that in case of an emergency they must calmly exit the building.

One of the biggest fears of caregivers when it comes to caring for the elderly is intrusions. Detecting a break-in as soon as it happens gives you that much more time to alert the authorities. Go for intrusion alarm systems that can detect unauthorized entry into a space. Check for systems which offer video analytics features such as face recognition, loitering, license plate reading, and object removal to name a few.

LPG Gas Detection: In many households, when the kids are at school and the parents are at work, the elderly of the household are left to their own devices for some time. In this time, it is very natural for elders to want to make a cup of tea or heat some food, and so on. But the nature of the elderly tends to be slightly forgetful, which is why LPG gas detectors are an absolute must

in every household. Not leaving the gas on, even accidentally, maybe something that younger adults take for granted, but we must be understanding towards the elders since it is only human for them to forget things at their age. Go for highly sensitive gas detectors that can detect even the slightest release of LPG so that any crisis may be averted well in advance. When it comes to LPG, the trick is to nip the leak in the bud and air out the house completely.

Panic Switch for Bedside: If the senior citizens in your home require certain aids for mobility such as wheelchairs, walking sticks or hearing aids, make sure that these are neatly arranged by the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed before bedtime. This way, in case of an emergency, the person has everything that they may need to evacuate the home. Besides this, install a panic button so that the person may press in case of an emergency. This will sound of an alarm in every part of the house so that you can rush to the senior citizen in time.

Fall Sensors: Around one-third of the population over 65 suffer falls each year. A fall for a senior citizen can bring forth extreme discomfort and pain, and sometimes, may even be fatal. If you are caring for a person above 65, then fall sensors can make all the difference to the wellness and safety of the concerned senior citizen. They are wearable devices which trigger an alarm to the caretaker if any sudden jolts or movements are detected. This way, even if you are unable to get to your loved one on time, you can at least call a friend for help in the meantime.

Door Sensors: This is an especially handy equipment for dealing with elderly patients who may have dementia or related conditions. Such patients are always at risk since they are sometimes unaware of their surroundings which may unknowingly put them in dangerous situations. For these reasons, door sensors may be stationed at the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room door so that a caregiver is alerted if the patient tries to exit the room. The idea is not to cordon off the patient,

but rather to allow them to move around freely as long as you are aware of where they are. Alarm & Emergency Management (AEMS) for Senior Citizen Homes: This is one of our offerings which is based on a combination of smoke and gas leak protection. It is a special gas detection device that also doubles as a fire alarm system by alerting the building security for immediate help. It is important to note that senior citizens are twice more likely to suffer firerelated injuries or fatalities than the youth and middle-aged adults. Limited mobility is one of the main issues which is why prevention is extremely important, as well as acting swiftly.

Effective Crisis Management: Best Practices & Strategies

Be it great fires, floods due to heavy rain or IT outages due to hacker attacks: When it comes to crisis management, federal and state governments as well as cities and municipalities with blue-light organisations are all in the same boat, metaphorically speaking. Industrial companies also have to plan and prepare for emergencies in order to secure production and business processes and minimize economic losses. Effective structures, well-trained people and powerful technology have to be closely enmeshed to ensure that the right decisions are made in the event of an emergency. From 5 to 8 November, A+A 2019 presents new approaches and current trends on this topic in Düsseldorf

uring the great fire of Notre Dame, the whole of Europe held its breath. In Paris, the fire brigade was able to limit the fire in the cathedral to the wooden truss after about four hours and thus saved valuable works of art and the rich interior, despite damage due to heat, soot and extinguishing water. “An achievement that was only possible thanks to the Paris fire brigade’s organised crisis management,” says Raimund Bücher, Director of Fire Brigade at Henkel in Düsseldorf. “The size of the object was certainly a particular challenge. In addition, knowing that irreplaceable cultural goods were at risk required special protective measures. Thank

goodness the entrances had already been closed when the fire broke out, as this meant that no-one was hurt in this disaster.”

Equipped for complex requirements Effective crisis management, as seen during this event, requires a perfectly coordinated team with a transparent leadership structure, modern safety equipment and powerful technical aids. “We aim to prepare people for emergencies, even if no-one can be prepared for every possible situation,” says Norbert Jetten, Head of Technology at BYK-Chemie in Wesel. “The equirements are quite complex:

TECH TRENDS

At the end of the day, we need to be just as able to deal with a fire or substance release as with hacker attacks or the effects of a natural catastrophe.”

Clearly defined tasks For this, it is vital to have a team in which each member knows exactly what to do. “Depending on the size of the company, clearly defined functional areas or specialist departments are involved,” says Stephan Hummel, Head of Fire Protection at Currenta. The company manages and operates CHEMPARK with three locations in Germany: Leverkusen, Dormagen and Krefeld. They have defined who passes on information, both internally and externally, and have also determined the analysis of the event. What dangers does the situation present for people and the environment, which area is affected, what is the prognosis — these are all questions that need to be answered as fast as possible in these situations. And measures such as warning and informing the public, planning the emergency response and providing the necessary personnel and technical resources all depend on the answers. At A+A 2019 in Düsseldorf, five short presentations will focus on crisis management. They address, among other issues, the meaning of emergency

response for small, mid-sized and large companies, the topic of digitalisation and the role of social media as part of crisis communications. At the GFPA German Fire Protection Association stand, experts will be on hand to engage in dialogues with professional visitors. Among others, Currenta, Henkel and the Industrial Fire Protection Association of Germany will be present. Multi-user locations are increasingly recognising the advantages of being closely interconnected. Large companies like Currenta connect different locations to several security centres. Identical IT programmes facilitate communication, whilst procedures and processes that have been aligned with one another help maintain an overview of the situation. Services are further optimized with the aid of state-of-the-art control centre software, allowing users to fulfil their statutory reporting obligations even more quickly in future and to streamline organisational processes as well as the entire information and emergency management.

Robotics, drones, modern fire engines When the sites of fires or natural catastrophes become too dangerous for humans, robots come in handy. As they did during a fire in the marl caves

south of Maastricht in July 2017. A farmer had stored hay there, which had caught fire. As there was a risk of the caves collapsing, helpers were unable to enter. The fire brigade in Aachen contacted the CHEMPARK site fire brigade in Leverkusen to request the Manipulator, a remote- controlled robot. This special device provided essential images from inside the caves, which gave the fire brigade an overview of the fire. Drones also play an increasingly important role in the evaluation of an event or in the continuous monitoring of plants. “They allow us to quickly and easily take pictures at great heights or in areas that are difficult to access,” explains Joachim Beyer, Head of Security at Currenta- CHEMPARK & Safety (CPS). “We regularly use drones for inspection flights and to obtain thermal images. These in turn help us collect data with which we can optimise our plants.” Germany’s first turbine fire engine will be in use at Currenta at the end of 2019. A high-performance engine produces a fine extinguishing mist that sprays up to 150 metres and is intended specifically for providing aid in industrial fires in the chemicals industry. “It achieves the same results with less extinguishing agents and less water — this contributes to more sustainability and improves the fire brigade’s performance,” summarizes Hummel.

Digital aids and autonomous technologies Digitalization increasingly helps us determine the causes of crises. According to a 2019 survey conducted by the Crisis Navigator — Institute for Crisis Research, part of the University of Kiel (Krisennavigator — Institut für Krisenforschung, ein Spin-off der Univeristät Kiel), crisis managers are increasingly dealing with data integrity breaches, blackouts, IT outages as well as public backlash and online protests. At the same time, more and more

digital products and technologies open up new opportunities for providing extensive information and optimised organisation. In the event of an evacuation, for example, site fire brigades have to be sure that everyone has left the site. Only when this has been confirmed can they fully start fire-fighting measures, for example. To do so, Currenta relies on a new, electronic logbook that registers when employees enter or leave the works premises. This is recorded quite simply via a digital system that requires each employee to hold a special identification card up to a reading device. This procedure has been in place at CHEMPARK Dormagen since December 2018. New digital tools allow users to quickly achieve and maintain information superiority. Pre-stored text modules allow users to create press releases within minutes. With the aid of alarm servers, crisis unit members can be notified by mouse click. “The future promises autonomous drones that can independently probe a situation,” forecasts Hummel. “Self-driving vehicles will allow us to evaluate information as soon as we are on our way to the emergency location, saving valuable time. And artificial intelligence is sure to open up whole new potential, such as exploration systems.” Exoskeletons — stabilising and power assisting elements — promise improved protective functions and new options of use, such as lifting larger loads. And sometimes, coloured pens and paper are all you need: When handling disasters, conventional aids continue to play an important role. “Paper and coloured markers are still immensely popular,” says BYK- Chemie Head of Technology Jetten. “Anyone can use them and they still work, even if the power’s out. Where are the servers located that are under threat from cyber attacks, which areas are at risk during fires or in the event

of substance release, where do the water, sewage or electricity pipes run. Visualising is of central importance, as this way, everyone can see at a glance what effects an event may have on the site or its surroundings.” The communications that are based on the situation image are also important and must be clear, comprehensible and void of speculation. After all, a specialist for communications must be able to immediately understand a statement just as well as an IT or environmental expert.

New obligations for SMEs The draft of the new DIN ISO standard 22320 (Security and Resilience — Emergency Management — Guidelines for Incident Management), which was submitted in August 2018, requires small and mid-sized companies to fulfil obligations with regard to crisis management, too. “In future, businesses that would like to obtain certification will have to prove a corresponding organisational structure and employ qualified staff,” says Henkel’s Director of Fire Brigade, Raimund Bücher. “This of course means they need to have the necessary budgets.”

The human risk factor When danger sends adrenaline shooting into our blood, our actions are impaired. Our brains seem to become sluggish — rational thoughts are no longer possible, our memory performance flags and deliberate actions are difficult. The more times a person has been through this, the quicker they can bridge this chaotic phase. “Continuous drills train routines, which we can then access quickly in the event of danger,” says Jetten. Which is why he and his colleagues rely on what he calls circuit training.

This means realistic drills with various requirements that have been set up on the works premises. “The changing roles within the individual positions sharpen our awareness of the different perspectives people have in the exact same situation. It allows us to stage everything as realistically as possible— with the police, fire brigade and emergency responders.”

Raising public awareness However, crises don’t stop at the works gate. “Standards, legislation and internal drills alone don’t cut it. It is extremely important to raise public awareness, so that they react adequately in an emergency,” emphasizes Raimund Bücher. Which is why North Rhine-Westphalia introduced a state-wide alert day in 2018. On alert day, the sirens are tested and trial alert notifications are sent out, for example using the Nina alert app, the federal emergency information and notification app (Nina stands for NotfallInformations- und Nachrichten App, emergency information and notification app). Drills are carried out across regions, as well. “LÜKEX stands for ‘Länderübergreifende Krisenmanagementübung’ (cross-state crisis management drill),” the expert explains. “The realistic drills aim to improve the management of national crises.” This involves organisations at the governmental and state level. In addition, the fire brigade and organisations such as the German Red Cross (Deutsche Rote Kreuz, DRK), the Maltese Help Organisation (Malteser Hilfsdienst) and the ASB Workers’ Samaritan Federation are important helpers in informing the broader public. Crisis management — a topic with seemingly endless facets. At A+A 2019, experts are on hand to answer questions and engage in discussion. Because one thing is certain: we can only manage crises if we are willing to find solutions together.

Importance of Emergency Lights Why Emergency Lights? Not a million dollar question but about just a few bucks more…

eyond the obvious back up advantage why do you need emergency lights? This is a question that may be in the minds of people who want to understand whether the emergency light is an option or a compulsion. After all, candles are far cheaper and we have been using them for donkey’s years. A possible logical answer to that question would differ depending on the person asking that question. For one thing, people have gotten wiser and times have changed hugely. They no longer want to remain donkeys for more future years. If you are individual living in a small independent house with family and within limited means, candles could be a cheaper option and Emergency lighting –a luxury. But even that is debatable because when a fire rages and the house is dark, you might not get time to light that candle anyway. Alternately, if you are living in a clustered society, a building or a high rise, emergency lights may be the only lifesaving commodity in a crisis situation. Fire accidents have become very frequent of late and crowded cities and localities have become death traps.

Furthermore, if you are an architect, a builder or a developer the Building code mandates certain compulsory exigency criteria and you could be legally charged if you do not go by that code. So for you, emergency lights are most definitely mandatory. The future of the Global Emergency Lighting market looks good with opportunities in the Residential, Commercial as well as Industry. The reasons for this are twofold. On the one hand many lives have been lost in fire accidents due to non-visibility in dark of smoky conditions. Lessons have been learnt the hard way and people are becoming more mindful of exigency safeguards. On the other hand those who still want to be penny wise and pound foolish, have to deal with tougher laws and negligence penalties which could be severe.

Importance of Emergency Lighting It provides illumination allowing people to see clearly, avoid obstacles and move confidently to the nearest exit in a crisis. Emergency ballasts allow an existing light fixture to operate in emergency battery mode during a power outage. Increasing adoption of safety regulations by governments is expected to create conducive environment for growth of the global emergency lighting market, as new buildings are required to be equipped with emergency lights as per the new standards. These factors are expected to further accelerate growth of emergency lighting batteries market.

Utility Value of Emergency Lights An emergency exit light is a clear, safe way to get out of a structure or building. It provides fast exit in case of emergency such as a fire. First responders may also use it as a way into the building so it is very important to make sure they are ready to use at all times.

All emergency lights are not created equal. Standard thermoplastic fixtures are appropriate for everyday office use, while explosion proof emergency lights are built to operate in environments containing flammable gas, vapour, or dust. There is an emergency light for almost every type of facility, but Special Use Emergency Lights are designed for the most unique applications. EXTENDED RUN-TIME EMERGENCY LIGHT: Standard emergency lights of whatever type are designed to provide illumination for a minimum of 90 minutes, in the case of power loss. This specification has been determined by officials to provide enough time for building evacuation in all normal circumstances. However, what if the circumstances are not normal; would 90 minutes be enough in all cases? Not all power loss situations are such that there are

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

additional hazards associated with the loss of power. While some can be associated with severe weather or a major accident, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily true in all cases. However, abandoning operating equipment, because of a power loss, can in some cases create a more serious hazard. In those cases, 90 minutes may not be enough time to shut everything down before evacuating the facility. Extended run-time emergency lights also provide an added level of safety for your personnel, in these situations where standard 90 minute emergency lights may not provide adequate safety. A place where longer run time may be needed for emergency lights is in cases where power losses are frequent. It generally takes 24 hours for the batteries in an emergency light to fully charge. Once charged, they are designed to provide enough power to illuminate the unit for 90 minutes.

DuPont launches New Portfolio of Hand Protection Solutions in India

DuPont Safety & Construction recently announced the launch of its hand protection portfolio of Kevlar® and Tychem® glove and sleeve solutions in India. The portfolio was showcased at a DuPont-hosted event entitled Hand Protection Summit on August 2, 2019 in Mumbai. While hands are one of the most critical parts of the human body, their complex capabilities often make them vulnerable to injury. Whether a person is working in manufacturing or manning an oil rig, hand safety remains a principle

concern. In the United States, research from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows 20% of disabling workplace injuries involve hands, 70% of hand injuries result from not wearing any type of hand protection and 30% of hand injuries are caused by wearing the wrong glove. DuPont is dedicated to reducing injuries by developing innovative hand protection solutions that are tested against the latest global regulations and standards. DuPont’s comprehensive program tests for a wide range of hazardous environments with a focus on products that stay comfortable throughout an entire work shift. In India, the hand protection portfolio is tested against the updated mechanical protection industry standard, EN388:2016. “We’re introducing a new portfolio of hand protection products designed to keep today’s workers safe from cut, heat and chemical injuries,” said David Domnisch, global leader for

DuPont Personal Protection. “With hands being the second most common body part injured in workplace accidents, we’re proud to offer hand protection innovations that continue to advance the industry while making sure workers are getting home to their families safely at the end of each work shift.” The DuPont hand protection portfolio includes both a range of seven Kevlar® glove styles for cut and heat protection, and 13 Tychem® glove options for chemical protection. These innovations are an extension to the DuPont Personal Protection Portfolio which consists of garments made with Nomex® fiber for flame and arc hazards, Tychem® garments for liquid and gas chemical hazards and Tyvek®

garments for dry particulate hazards.

Keep Hazards at Bay & Make Welding a Pleasure by S.K. Palit

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 can face an array of hazards which can be potentially dangerous, including electric shock, fumes and gases, fire and explosions and more. In order 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 that all workers comply with the following important guidelines in the workplace: • Read and understand manufacturer instructions for equipment • Carefully review material safety data sheets • 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.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

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 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 in-

side 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.

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

Fumes and Gases

Fire and Explosions

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 base-metal 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 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 away 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.

Welding arc creates extreme temperatures, and may pose a significant fire and explosions hazard if safe practices are not followed. While the welding arc may reach temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the real danger is not from the arc itself, but rather the intense near the arc & 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 comprise 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 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 may need to take extra precautions. In any welding situation, welding operators should pay close attention to 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 while opening cans of electrodes, 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. [The author is Head-CCC & Strategic Support - Equipment, SGP & WAPS at Ador Welding Ltd.]

Safety Belts & Harnesses for Fall Protection “While working at height, there is a possibility of fall, so always make use of safety belts and harnesses.” - R. R. Nair (R. Rajasekharan Nair) 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Hazards exist in every workplace, even though its nature and severity vary from place to place. It brings distress to the workers in the form of serious injury or death. Falls are one of the leading cause of work-related injuries and deaths among those working at height, in particular the roofers. Working six feet or more above lower levels put roofers at risk for serious body injury or death if they should fall. A lack of fall protection, damaged fall protection equipment, or improper setup will increase their risk of falling from height, which can even lead to death. Fall is a serious occupational hazard in Indian Industry, especially construction industry. As per the data compiled by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), about 16759 persons died in India in the year 2015, due to fall. Out of this, 9170 persons died due to fall from height. Many of these deaths could have been saved had the workers used the safety belts and harnesses. Though some of the enlightened management provided safety belts and harnesses to the workers for using at working at height, they seldom use these items, may be due to lack of awareness. Thus this article is focused on various types of safety belts and harnesses used for protecting the workers from fall. Often work has to be done at heights or inside a chamber, tank or some underground installations where from a fall may cause serious injuries or death. In such situations, it becomes necessary that he should wear a properly designed safety belt which is fastened by a line to a secure anchorage. It is desirable that

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

the length of the line that fastens the safety belt to the anchorage should be short as possible, because the longer the line, the greater the distance through which a worker will fall before being halted.

2.0 SAFETY BELTS: Safety belts are made of leather, rubber, cotton webbing, or synthetic webbing. They are provided with safety straps or life line with special hooks for anchorage. Webbing has three or four times as much resistance to impact loading as leather of the same size. Friction buckles are provided for webbing belts to avoid loss of strength at buckle holes. In case of leather belts the factors which affect the strength of the belts are: • Quality of the leather. • Thickness of the leather. • Size of metal tongue in the buckle. • Number of tongues in the buckle. • Treatment of leather to retain its strength. It may be reminded here that the leather can easily be damaged by heat, dryness, inadequate care and oiling, etc. Cotton Webbing may be affected by moisture or corrosive chemicals. Decron or Nylon webbing is stronger and much lighter in weight and is mildew and moisture resistant. For chemicals or oil work, webbings coated with or impregnated with plastic, or neoprene rubber materials is desirable. Herringbone weave of webbing is considered to be the strongest.

3.1 Body Belt: Body Belt (See Fig 01) is usually made of 5 cm to 10 cm wide leather or webbing. A ‘D’ ring is provided for attaching safety strap or life-line. The belt may have attachments to carry tools.

Fig 01 : Body Belt

3.2 Window Cleaner’s Belt: Window cleaner’s belt (See Fig 02) assures window cleaners freedom of movement and safety. Separate ropes should be used for the service and safety line. Service rope should be taut and safety rope slack. Safety rope can incorporate a shock absorber. This will reduce the loading in the event of a fall.

3.0 TYPE OF BELTS: There are various types of Safety Belts and some of them are listed below:

Fig 02: Window Cleaner’s Belt

3.6 Harness Type Belt (Parachute Type): Harness Type Belt (Parachute Type) is used for supporting the entire weight of the person vertically while working as in being raised or lowered along the wall of a building or in a tank or a man-hole. (See Fig 06)

a distance as possible; and of cushioning the fall in such a way that no injury results. Retractable life lines, metal safety anchors, fixed ladder devices are some of the fall arrest systems.

Fig 03: Belt for Working on Sloping Roofs

3.4 Belt with Back Saver: Belt with Back Saver (See Fig 04) has wide support for the back to distribute the loading, in case of a fall, to a wider area of the back and thus reducing the severity of concentrated load to a limited area of the back.

Fig 06: Parachute Type Harness Belt

3.7 Harness Type Belt: Harness Type Belt straps encircle waist and shoulder with ‘D’ ring at the back for attaching the life line. This belt is preferable for absorbing impact and keeping a person upright in case of fall. (See Fig 07)

Fig 04: Belt with Back Saver

3.5 Lineman’s Safety Belt: Lineman’s Safety Belt consists of a body belt to which a second outer belt to encircle a pole is attached. The body belt has provision to carry tools also. (See Fig 05)

Fig 05: Lineman’s Safety Belt

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

4.0 BELT CARE: Dust adhering to leather safety belts should be brushed off carefully as not to scratch the leather. The belt should then be washed in warm water with saddle soap. After rinsing it should be dried off at room temperature. Leather belts should not be exposed to excessive heat. Cotton or synthetic webbing belts should be washed in soapy water, rinsed and dried by moderate heat.

5.0 INSPECTION AND TESTING:

Fig 07: Harness Type Belt

3.8 Fall Arrest System: Fall Arrest System provides flexibility for workers freedom movement, yet will arrest a fall and help absorb the shock. (See Fig 08) The system consists of some type of belt or harness that is worn around the waist to which lanyard or rope grabbing device is attached. The system must be capable of absorbing fall energy; of limit in the fall to as short

Wearers of safety belts should inspect them before each use. Leather belts especially must be watched for cuts and scratches. Cut across the belt seriously affect the strengths and therefore the belts should be discarded. Webbing belts should be discarded if outer fibres are cut or worn. Belt hardware – metal buckles, ‘D’ rings, etc. should be examined for cracks, deformations and signs of wear & tear. Load test should not be carried out on each belt in use. Load test are ordinarily carried out on a sample belt to destruction to determine their safety. Belts subjected to the maximum impact in an accidental fall should not be reused

TECH TRENDS

because the fittings might have been over stressed and weakened.

6.0 TIPS FOR FALL PROTECTION: Some of the tips for fall protection is listed below: 1. When a worker’s safety depends on a safety belt, he should not work in isolation. 2. Where necessary, when working with a safety belt, there should be in addition an independently secured lifeline. 3. Where workers cannot be protected against falls from height by any other means, they should be protected by catch nets or safety belts or a combination of both. 4. The lifeline should be enclosed above the work to a secure object and the line should extend to the ground level or working platform. 5. Inspect your equipment such as, buckle, rope, forged steel snaps and ‘D’ rings, daily. 6. Replace defective equipment, 7. Replace any equipment involved in a fall. Refer any questionable defects to a trained inspector. 8. Dry belt and other equipment, store away from heat, steam, out of long periods of sunlight. 9. Store in a clean dry area free from fumes, sunlight or corrosive materials.

7.0 TRAINING: Employers must provide fall protection training for all workers who may be exposed to fall hazards. The training must be conducted by a competent person and include information on how to recognize fall hazards and on what procedures to follow to minimize them. Training must address how to inspect, erect/disassemble, and maintain the fall protection equipment involved in the work. Retraining is required when previous training becomes obsolete due to changes in work conditions or fall protection systems or equipment. Retraining is also required when worker performance indicates a need for it.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

SAFETY INDUSTRY

8.0 CONCLUSION: In spite of the best efforts to make materials, processes and equipment safe for workers, situations making it impossible to ensure absolute safety do arise frequently. During plant shut downs, overhauling, repair and maintenance work of the plants, workers are exposed to various hazards and it is either difficult or impractical to provide conditions which by themselves safe. In such circumstances, it becomes necessary to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to workers so as to ensure their safety. PPE is designed to be worn by an individual to eliminate or minimise the exposure to injury or illness. Generally, equipment has been designed to be worn on a selected part of the body and can be categorised by the area it protects. Some PPE devices offers protection across one or more categories. However, it should be kept in mind that the Personal Protective Equipment does not reduce the hazard itself nor does it guarantee permanent or total protection. The equipment (PPE) is designed only to improve an effective barrier between the worker and the harmful substances, processes or environment. Remember, that there is a possibility of fall, when you are working at height. The fall is likely to cause physical injury to your body or death. No doubt that your safety is paramount in any working situations. It is therefore, up to you to secure the necessary Personal Protective Equipment. Safety Belts & Harnesses are used to protect fall. While working at height, always use safety belts & harnesses.

Taste International’s Stockholding Program eliminates delays by planning flexibly and resulting in delivery when required so customers only pay for what they use, ensuring high performance delivery for top performing gloves

Optimizing the supply chain for industrial gloves

aste International, as owners and manufacturers of the Aquila brand of industrial gloves, are aware that maintaining a smooth flow of consumables can be eased for large users and distributors by taking care of the relationships involved, setting up simple systems and developing trust between supplier and customer. Such advantageous relationships can enable cost reductions on the admin side over and above piece price negotiations. Streamlining the supply chain on consumables optimises business by saving margins day after day, year after year on large expenditures. Given that the general and administrative costs of a product are estimated in the range 1025% of factory labour rates, and the salary of an administrator can average $52,000 pa it is clear that even small percentage savings can make significant differences to end user prices or margins available at the nodes in the supply chain. Taste International’s stockholding programme (SHP) addresses all these concerns by shifting much of the order/

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

re-order load and by enabling efficient production planning with ex-factory stocking. Industrial gloves can have intermittent stocking/re-order cycles at significant cost per order—coupled with major safety consequences in the event stock runs out. In short, they can be awkward to keep track of and are a critical safety item. Where PPE is concerned gloves rank right up there with hard hats and safety boots. Without the right glove it is not too extreme to say that many jobs can simply not be completed successfully, comfortably, safely or in a timely fashion. The SHP eliminates delays by planning flexibly and resulting in delivery when required so customers only pay for what they use, ensuring high performance delivery for these top performing gloves— from hundreds of pairs to hundreds of thousands of pairs! Taste international’s SHP is a reliable way to place forward orders and ensure forward stock is available with flexible call offs at competitively established piece part prices. Minimize the admin—

maximize the availability—optimize the supply chain. Simple bulk forward orders for Aquila gloves are administered and stocked by Taste International so reducing customer warehousing and inventory costs. This ensures deliveries in small flexibly sized quantities at bulk prices to customer call off with rapid delivery within 3 to 5 working days worldwide. Taste International are determined to raise the profile of safety gloves and to raise the quality of personal protection, by ensuring ready availability of the advanced Aquila range. To this end, their SHP system takes advantage of Taste International flexible manufacturing environment, together with an in-house warehousing facility, to more carefully manage customer orders in co-operation with their purchase planning teams resulting in quicker service, reduced stockholding and more efficient warehousing/ administration, leading to better safety, better service and lower costs.

Behaviour-Based-Safety: Simple and Scientific Approach for Corporates Abstract: Indian corporates are one hundred percent safe as per their safety documents and records, but much lacking in behavior. Hence their safety certifications and awards are questionable, as well as the certification agencies also can be questioned. This article brings forth the brief reporting of Indian organizations that implemented behavioral safety during 2019, so that behavioural safety aspects can be incorporated and emphasized by the corporates and agencies. Key words: Implementation, Behavioural Safety, Training, Industry, Safety Culture, BBS Introduction Empowering one and all till the last person at site - for “daily observation and spot-correction” through BBS implementation is referred as BBS standard procedure. There are four categories of organizations with regard to behavioral safety application. The first, that consider only training, the second, that think, safety is a cost to company, the third, that choose implementation process for long term benefits, and the fourth, that implemented BBS but did not continue for some organizational reasons, and then rejuvenated it after a while. Obviously, the first one and the second category of organizations don’t achieve any difference with regard to their safety culture, as their focus is not implementation of behavioural safety program (Kaila, 2017). According to Head - QHSE of Tata Projects, “BBS is the heart of getting Process Safety right”. Remember with caution: If you are leaving BBS implementation only in the hands of safety departments; you are following the dependent safety culture. Incidents would keep happening in this condition. Remember: In BBS implementation, we are essentially aiming to build an interdependent safety culture by making it essentially each department’s safety objective for reaching a common goal of zero-harm at site.

3. BBS at Raurkela Steel plant Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has been making all out efforts to become an accident-free Steel producing unit of the country. Recently ‘Sankalp – A new Safety Intervention,’ was started to strengthen the safety initiatives at RSP through Behaviour based Safety (BBS) model. As a part of it, a massive twoday campaign named as “Bhai-Bhauni, Bandhu Suraksha,” was launched on 27th May 2019. CEO inaugurated the campaign at HRD Centre which was conducted by a renowned behavioral scientist. A field visit was organized in which around 50 Departmental Safety Officers, Area Safety Officers and personnel of Safety Department made observations on the behavioral pattern of the employees of the plant with the help of BBS Observation Card. This was based on the conceptual input provided. The findings of this session were analysed and another session was held to chalk out an implementation strategy. The nine areas of behavioral concerns that were zeroed in on were: Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), housekeeping, using of tools and equipment, body positioning, material handling, verbal and non-verbal communication, attentiveness and use of mobile phone while working. The eight pronged strategy finalized to address these issues include parikrama (going around), prashna (questioninPrashansha (praising), parivartan (conversion), prashikshan (training),pratigya (pledge), prachaar (teach) and prarthana (request). This interaction was followed by a motivational session that was attended by around 450 employees from across the plant including senior officers. An emphasis was laid on right observation, spot correction and spot reward. Stress was on the concept of moving from awareness to alertness. 4.

decline trend but needs significant improvement. 6. Conclusion and Implications Organizations that fail to take a scientific approach to safety’s human-behavior element are gambling with their futures and are ultimately only safe by accidents. Behaviour Safety is a statistically meaningful improvement of the Safety Performance in the Workplace. ISO 45001 emphasizes that you measure your organization’s risks and capacities for controlling those risks. We have 100 percent safety practice in documents, but safety is lacking in behaviour. How to tackle this issue, is a behavioural aspect that we need to understand in BBS implementation which is essentially a cultural shift experience of industries across the country. There is a need to linking monthly observation matrix with individual variable pay, so that each employee is encouraged to observe more than one at-risk behaviours and spot-correct the same within less than 5 minutes each day (Kaila, 2019). This article would guide behavioural safety aspects to be incorporated by the corporates and agencies.

Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India? Indian market is largely unorganized and is reportedly flooded with inferior security products from Taiwan, China and other Southeast Asian countries. India is a price sensitive market, these products score in terms of price when compared to the products sold by Indian players. Although the security market in India has been growing, there is a lack of a regulatory framework. Many are still unaware of the benefits of installing security products. The government is yet to establish any quality and safety standards for security products.

IPS Intelligent Video Analytics first to join the Hikvision Embedded Open Platform program Through HEOP, IPS is embedding five analytics modules into Hikvision 5-Series Network Cameras

PS Intelligent Video Analytics recently became the first company to join the Hikvision Embedded Open Platform (HEOP) program. Through HEOP, IPS will upload its cutting-edge analytics modules to Hikvision 5-Series Network Cameras. The global HEOP program enables third-party providers to develop their own applications and install them directly onto Hikvision cameras. This brings a greater variety of intelligent functionality directly to customers, while development partners can benefit from Hikvision’s global reach.

• Sabotage Detection: Sabotage Detection alerts users in real-time when attempts are made to tamper with the camera (e.g. if the camera is covered, redirected, sprayed or blinded).

Five innovative camera-based analytics modules

• Indoor Detection: The Indoor Detection module alerts users in real-time in the event of intruders entering secured indoor areas.

IPS Intelligent Video Analytics has decades of analytics expertise, and has developed a wealth of advanced analytics functionality. Through HEOP, IPS is embedding five analytics modules into Hikvision 5-Series Network Cameras: Motion Detection, Sabotage Detection, Intrusion Detection, Loitering Detection and Indoor Detection. • Motion Detection: This intelligent video analytics module offers realtime alerts when objects are seen to move within predefined areas.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | AUGUST 2019

• Intrusion Detection: Intrusion Detection delivers real-time alerts in the event of an intruder entering a secured outdoor area. • Loitering Detection: This module delivers real-time alerts if individuals are loitering in monitored areas.

More cost-effective, more flexible Embedding these modules into the cameras means there is no need for additional servers, which saves money for Hikvision customers and increases flexibility in solutions architecture design. One module can be operated per installed camera, and the data can be viewed easily on a web browser.

Building on state-of-the-art technology The Hikvision 5-Series Network Cameras are already impressive, combining DarkFighter low-light surveillance with high definition recognition for the first time. Improved codec technology also boosts transmission efficiency. The cameras are ideal for anywhere that 24-hour colorful images are needed, from streets and shopping malls to office buildings. Jens Berthelsen, Global Partner Alliance Manager at Hikvision says, “We’re excited that IPS has become our very first partner for the HEOP program. We’re looking forward to seeing how their functionality can help our customers extract new value from our Hikvision 5-Series Network Cameras, while helping them to build even more streamlined, cost-effective security solutions.” Alain H. Benoit, Head of Marketing and Sales at IPS says, “The HEOP platform design makes it incredibly easy to integrate our video analytics into the Hikvision cameras. This integration provides customers with an advanced solution when it comes to real-time detection of suspicious objects or events.” Website: www.hikvisionindia.com

Turbo Jet Engines and Johnnette Technologies sign MoU for agricultural drones

ohnnette Technologies Private Limited recently inked an MoU with Turbo Jet Engines (Hyderabad) Private Limited in New Delhi under which a manufacturing unit for agricultural drones will be set up in Hyderabad. An agricultural drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle applied to farming in order to help increase crop production and monitor crop growth. Sensors and digital imaging capabilities can give farmers a richer picture of their fields. Thus, these views can assist in assessing crop growth and production. While most spraying is carried out using single drone units to either patch, strip or spot spray, rapidly developing technology within the drone may allow much larger areas to be sprayed in the future. Drones are already capable of communicating with each other to avoid collisions and to fly in formation. This could allow a string or swarm of drones to apply pesticide across whole fields in the future. While trials are under way, the

main obstacle to success could lie in legislation with governments and military officials wary of terrorist threat presented by a swarm of unmanned aircraft. The uses of agricultural drones are soil and field analysis, planting, crop spraying, crop monitoring, irrigation and health assessment. Further, Indian Institute of Drones inked MoU with Multiplex Drone Private Limited for drone training at 3 levels: Basic, Advanced and Agricultural Type Setting in Bangalore. Indian Institute Of Drones is recognized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation with reference number 05-13/2014-AEDVo1-VII dated on July 13, 2018.

About Johnnette Technologies: Johnnette Technologies Pvt Ltd. is a pioneer in the development of Unmanned Systems Technology in India. The company was started in April 2010 and since then the company has been providing cutting edge highquality aerospace systems to the paramilitary, commercial, aerospace and defence sectors.
