CEO CORNER Homeland Security: The global scenario & trends The global homeland security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020 to reach a market size of USD 364.44 billion by 2020. Increasing demand for equipments to tackle issues such as terrorist threats, cross border insurgency, illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking and cyber threats are fuelling the growth of this market. On the basis of security type, the homeland security market can be categorized into eight segments including aviation security, maritime security, border security, critical infrastructure security, cyber security, CBRN security, mass transit security, and others (C3I, public safety, and counter terror intelligence). Cyber security segment was the largest segment and accounted for 39.31% of the global market in 2013 due to worldwide increase in demand for products and solutions to counter the cyber threats. The cyber security market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8%. The market for homeland security is primarily driven by several government initiatives undertaken to restrict increasing terrorist threats and cross border insurgency. In addition, rising cases of illegal immigration, drug smuggling and human trafficking is compelling the governments of various nations to invest heavily in procurement of homeland security products. Adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by various armies for border surveillance is also influencing the growth of this category. Several government initiatives undertaken to restrict increasing cross-border insurgency and terrorist threats are expected to drive demand. Also, growing human trafficking, drug smuggling, and illegal immigration are persuading the government of various countries to invest profoundly in the procurement of homeland security solutions. Cyber security is anticipated to be the fastest growing market segment. This growth can be attributed to regions such as North America, and Europe that is investing immensely in cyber defenses, hence, driving the homeland security market. Advanced technologies such as cloud, social and next-generation mobile computing in the business environment are fundamentally altering the way organizations exploit information technology for sharing information and conducting online commerce. Presently, more than 80 percent of total commercial transactions are made online, which seeks a high quality of safety for transparent transactions.

Valve management system eliminates incorrect valve line-up for tank storage provider By preventing incorrect valve line-up with the installation of a valve management system, valve operation specialist Sofis has ensured that a well-known tank storage provider is not exposed to potential costs of €160,000 a year or more. “Everyone in the oil and gas industry is aware of the risk of incorrect valve line-ups,” commented the customer’s assistant technical manager. “I really appreciate the help of the whole Sofis team in finding us a good solution to accommodate our needs and getting this project ready on time.” History shows that, during tank storage operations, incidents of miscommunication or accidental operation of the wrong valve(s) can lead to the wrong blend of oil product being loaded into an oil tanker, resulting in product contamination. The cleanup operation following such an incident – labour, waste creation and disposal, cleaning and transport – allied to the

indirect costs of environmental impact, tank terminal downtime and damage to the corporate reputation would have led to the company paying a minimum of €160,000 for each incident. Having identified the potential risk and cost associated with incorrect valve line-ups, the tank storage provider was looking for a tailor-made solution. By combining valve interlocks and a key management system from Sofis with its existing distributed control system

(DCS), the customer has eliminated the risk of incorrect valve line-ups. Personnel can no longer accidentally operate the wrong valves, nor overlook any necessary valves. The DCS manages manual valve operations, and the status information of these manual valves is continuously monitored from the control room. In addition, personnel can now perform multiple valve lineup procedures simultaneously, while valve changeovers are carried out more efficiently. For more information about Sofis in India, please contact Nitul Sanghvi, Area Sales Manager – India and South East Asia on M: +91 98795 59345, E-mail: nitul.sanghvi@ sofisglobal.com, visit www. sofisglobal.com.

About SOFIS: Netherlocks Safety Systems and Smith Flow Control have merged. Two global leaders in the field of valve operations have joined forces and move on

as Sofis. With joint expertise, a united service team and a combined office and partner network, Sofis is bigger and stronger and thus better able to give worldwide support and cater to every market need. Over the last three decades Sofis’s employees have led and developed the interlock market. They have also devised new product segments by continuously bringing new ideas to fruition.

About Halma: Halma, the leading safety, health and environmental technology group is a public company listed on the London Stock Exchange and has around 5800 employees in nearly 50 subsidiaries worldwide.

Recent reports say, 250 million people are set to join India’s workforce by 2030. As a big

chunk of the population belongs to the working age group, organisations need to look at the safety and health along with emotional well-being of these employees on priority to retain the best of talent and ensure good productivity. Companies in manufacturing and allied sectors such as automobile, oil and gas, construction etc. in particular are becoming aware of occupational hazards and are working towards creating a safer working environment. Governments for their part are through regulations emphasising on developing infrastructure and providing resources centred around workplace safety, coupled with increasing global investments. Despite a greater focus on occupational safety and health, there is still inadequate education at various levels and public awareness is still absent, as managements and workforce don’t always place safety as a top priority. Although, many organisations have taken the initiative to organize training sessions to create awareness, a concentrated and cohesive strategy is clearly not in place. UBM India’s OSH India is geared to filling this vital gap.” “Also, this year we are glad to have a gender sensitive approach to safety and health as one of the topics at the conference seminar. A broad stratagem for the enhancement

of women workers’ safety and health has to be built with an increasing number of women at the workplace, enhancing productivity and breaking the glass ceiling.” he further added. OSH India is the country’s definitive annual exhibition for the safety industry that attracts brands worldwide and facilitates ways to incorporate best practises at the workplace, especially to promote health and safety within it. The expo is supported by DISH ( Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health ) – Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu ; Gujarat Safety Council; Indian Technical Textile Association; Taloja Industrial Association; Thane Manufacturer Association and Indian Society of Ergonomics. The expo included an Innovation Zone, platform for exhibitors to promote and showcase innovative products to benefit the occupational safety and health industry at large. It also included a dedicated two day knowledge sharing classroom session on Powered Access conducted by The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). This session promotes the safe and effective use of powered access in India. The IPAF promotes the safe and effective use of powered access equipment worldwide in the widest sense -- through providing technical advice and

It is a not-for-profit organisation owned by its members that include manufacturers, rental companies and contractors. This year’s two –day OSH conference shared global best practices with delegates whilst the accompanying exhibition will helped identify solutions to the most pressing challenges in workplace safety and health. The key sessions and panel discussions at the conference were attended by industry experts from across the country and leading international organizations. Topics of discussion at the conference included: ‘Promoting a Broader Ownership of Health and Safety in India’, ‘Benchmarking Current Industry Practices for handling high Toxic Chemicals’ , ‘Accident Prevention: Hazard and Operability Analysis’, ‘Fire Safety Management and Audits, ‘Redefining Health and Safety Metrics: Tackling Occupational Disease,’ ‘Construction Safety: Design and Management’, ‘Emotional Intelligence to Create a Safer Workplace’, ‘Gender Sensitive Approach to Workplace Health and Safety,’ ‘The Role and Need for Accreditation in HSE’ and ‘Disaster Management/Crisis Management.’ The conference

also aimed to influence organisations to take a gendersensitive approach and ensure employers implement risk management and protective measures addressing gender differences. OSH India 2017 will also witness the ‘OSH India Safety Awards 2017’ on the evening of Day 1 which is open to Indian operating businesses, organizations, alliances and individuals in the public or private sector with a workplace health and safety initiative.

UL – IITGN conduct a full scale Live Fire Test at Palaj Campus UL, a global safety science organization, in association with Centre for Safety Engineering (CSE) at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) conducted a Live Fire Test at the institute’s Palaj campus. This test is the fifth in line, after the first four tests conducted last year as part of Phase 1, revealed immediate issues and concerns that needed attention in order to improve fire safety of building envelopes. The test involved setting a three-storey building on fire to study the impact of dangers posed by modern construction methods and materials, thereby defining the need to modernise fire engineering. The building comprised of an insulating material along with

an ACP-glass facade and was conducted in the presence of several stakeholders, including fire experts from India and the US, researchers, practicing engineers, policymakers, contractors and manufacturers. UL and IIT Gandhinagar had joined hands last year, with the understanding that fire safety as part of disaster management

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

is the topmost priority, given the increasing use of facades of different types (glass, aluminium, composite, etc.) in building construction. A spate of accidents in India and elsewhere underlined the need for rigorous standards and codes in this area. Suresh Sugavanam, UL’s Managing Director of South Asia said, “Over the last one

year, our association with the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar and the commitment to study fire safety has opened the doors to several interesting and important findings. This partnership is helping us realise our safety mission while working towards developing India-specific fire safety standards. We are extremely pleased to release the research findings of the Phase I project, titled “A first of its kind report on glass façade testing project: Research on glass façade fire testing”. This Live Fire Test as part of the second phase will further help us in gaining insights in order to recommend relevant standards and solutions.” Prof Sudhir K Jain, Director,

IITGN shared his insights on the fire tests and said, “The installation of glass, aluminium or composite facades was found to be the culprit of few major building fire accidents in the recent years in India and abroad. It is expected that such tests will provide scientific insights into the interaction between insulating materials, facade materials and building compartments in realistic fire scenarios and help improve their safety.” Earlier during the day, a Discussion on Building Facades and Fire Safety was conducted.

The research findings of the Phase I of the IITGN-UL project were also presented and discussed, and the formal report of findings was released. Titled “A first of its kind report on glass façade testing project: Research on glass façade fire testing”, the report was released at the hands of Prof Jain and Mr Suresh Sugavanam, vice-president and managing director, UL South Asia. Eminent speakers included Mr D K Shami, fire advisor, Ministry of Home Affairs; Dr. Pravinray Gandhi, UL LLC; Mr. Sugavanam; and Prof. Gaurav Srivastava, principal investigator

The national winners across the 13 building verticals were: • Smartest Building: Indira Gandhi International Airport (New Delhi) • Smartest 4 Star Hotel: Ginger Hotel (Andheri, Mumbai) • Smartest 5 Star Hotel: ITC Maurya (New Delhi)

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

• Smartest Large Airports: Indira Gandhi International Airport (New Delhi) and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) • Smartest Mid-Sized Airport: New Integrated Terminal Chandigarh Airport (Mohali) • Smartest Luxury Residential Building: Omkar 1973 (Worli, Mumbai) • Smartest Residential Building: Amanora Aspire (Pune) • Smartest Educational Building: Indian School of Business (Hyderabad) • Smartest Hospital Building: Apollo Hospitals International Limited (Ahemadabad) • Smartest Industrial Building: Havells India Limited Building No. 1 (Faridabad) • Smartest Retail Building: DLF Mall of India (Noida) • Smartest Multi-Tenant Private Offices: DLF Infinity and DLF Building No. 10 (Gurgaon) • Smartest Single Occupant Private Office: Infosys Software Development Building 11 (Pune) • Smartest Social and Community Space Building: Software Technology Parks of India - Incubation and Data Centre (Mohali) Beyond honoring buildings that excel, the Honeywell Smart Building Score also helps increase efficiency in buildings with low scores by pinpointing the solutions that will drive optimal return on investment, making them greener, safer, and more

productive. For example, managers of buildings low in the green scoring can examine solutions to help with energy efficiency. Buildings low on the safety scoring can be improved with solutions that address the building’s unique security requirements, whether it’s a single-story building or a sprawling commercial campus. The Honeywell Smart Building Score can similarly point out specific productivity gaps. As important as uninterrupted connectivity is to building occupants, indoor air and water quality are also a priority. Knowing which technology asset group has a low score can provide insight for facility managers to improve both building and people productivity.

Honeywell Smart Building Score: History and Criteria Honeywell launched the Honeywell Smart Building Score in India in 2015. This self-assessment tool evaluates 15 technology asset groups in a building that make it green, safe, and productive based on the building assets’ overall capability, coverage of the facility, and uptime. Honeywell subsequently launched the tool in the United States, China and the Middle East. Among the tool’s measures: • The Green asset group measures the environmentally sustainable components of a building. It includes a building’s use of energy sources, utility sources, temperature control,

energy control, and utility control, all of which impact carbon emissions, a facility’s environmental footprint, and utility costs for the building occupant or user. • The Safe asset group measures the safeguards for the building, its occupants, users and

owners. It includes people, vehicle and material security, fire safety, gas safety, worker safety, and disaster response systems. • The Productive asset group measures enhanced comfort and productivity for users and owners. It includes

technologies that help boost productivity, including indoor air and water quality sensors, people, vehicle and material circulation, personalization, connectivity, and energy quality. The Honeywell Smart Building Awards are the definitive award

that India’s smartest buildings aspire to achieve, attracting applications from across the country.

10 technology trends that will shape 2018

Johan Paulsson, Chief Technology Officer, Axis Communications

s Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “the only one constant in life is change”. And this is certainly true for anyone working in areas related to or based upon technology (and few don’t these days). The pace of technological innovation is such that even the most fantastic of imagined futures seem like they could easily become reality. As existing technologies reach maturity, unforeseen developments arrive ever more quickly, and innovations make the leap from consumer applications to business (and vice versa) it’s imperative that we constantly seek to find those that have the potential to add value to our own business and those of our customers. As we look ahead to 2018, I’ve been working with my colleagues to identify some trends that we think will have an impact on

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

our business and industry. 1. A move towards the edge Two trends of recent years that have become familiar – cloud computing and the Internet of Things – have delivered undeniable benefits to businesses and consumers alike. But they also come with implications: namely the huge increase in the amount of data being transferred from connected devices to the data center for processing and storage, and the associated bandwidth needed. Edge computing alleviates this issue by performing data processing at the ‘edge’ of the network, near the source of the data. Doing so significantly reduces the bandwidth needed between sensors and devices and the data center. A further drive towards edge computing relates to potential concerns around data integrity and privacy:

anonymizing and creating encrypted data within the device at the edge before it is transferred to the data center will be a likely response to these concerns. As network cameras, audio and other sensors – the devices on the edge of the network –become ever more sophisticated and of higher quality, the need to balance both cloud computing and edge computing domains will be imperative to deliver refined, reliable and usable data. 2. Cloud-to-cloud Despite the move towards edge computing, as outlined above, cloud computing will still play a significant role in IT infrastructures. But while cloud computing can give the impression of a single entity, there are, of course, multiple ‘clouds’ being used around the globe. As an increasing number of

INDUSTRY FOCUS

companies offer cloud-based services, the cloud eco system is increasingly becoming the preferred point of integration, rather than the traditional on-premise systems. One benefit of integration between clouds is a significant potential reduction of in-house IT services required. Further, however, advanced composite services from multiple providers can be created and deployed through rich service APIs, including data analytics, content management, and storage, reducing timeto-market and rapidly increasing scale. Any organization delivering cloud-based services should be investigating the opportunity for integration with related services to add value to customers and partners. 3. Deep and machine learning We have now reached a stage whereby the full benefits of deep learning architectures and machine learning can start to be realized: we have huge sets of data to analyze, the processing power available to do so within reasonable timeframes, sophisticated algorithms, and a weight of use cases to learn from. When some of the most impressive demonstrations of the application of deep learning have been related to image interpretation, speech recognition, and decision support, the potential for analytics in the safety and security sector are obvious. At a relatively basic level, deep learning applications will improve video motion detection, facial recognition, individual

tracking and suppression of false alarms. It will aid system design, configuration, optimization and device management. Beyond this, as applications develop, there is significant opportunity for predictive analytics leading to incident prevention: from terrorist incidents to slip and fall accidents; from traffic issues to shoplifting. It is still early days, however. Development is currently fast and unpredictable, and the demands on processing power are massive, but the potential for deep learning, which may ultimately lead to autonomous systems, is huge. 4. Personalization vs. privacy One of the potential applications for deep learning could be in the delivery of highly personalized services. Imagine a retail environment where a customer’s face is recognized upon entering a store, and then offers are pushed to their mobile device based on previous purchases, preferences, or even their recent browsing history. But then, just because something can be done doesn’t necessarily mean that it should be, and this example immediately highlights increasing concerns around privacy, and how personal data is being used by businesses and other organisations. Legislation is being created to address these concerns. In the European Union, the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the deadline for compliance with which is May 2018 – will unify the protection of data for individuals within the EU, wherever that data is held or

used. But whether motivated by legislation or simply wanting to do the right thing by customers and citizens, balancing increased personalization with the protection of an individual’s data and privacy will be a tightrope all organizations will walk this coming year. 5. Cybersecurity Once again, cybersecurity must appear on the list of trends for the next 12 months and beyond. The constant enhancement of cybersecurity will be a never-ending task, because well-resourced cybercriminals will never stop looking to exploit vulnerabilities in any new technology. And as the number of connected devices grows exponentially, so too do the potential flaws that, if left unaddressed, could provide the opportunity for networks to be breached, ransomware to be planted or, more simply, costly downtime to occur. 2018 will no doubt see more attacks and vulnerabilities exposed. The answer is proactivity and a systematic process for ensuring that patches are implemented as soon as they are available. 6. Platforms to realize the full benefits of IoT Speaking of the IoT, it has reached a point where to scale, collect and analyse data, and manage the network of connected devices effectively, it is crucial to use a scalable architecture. Such a so-called IoT platform allows equipment from different node vendors to coexist and easily exchange DECEMBER 2017 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

INDUSTRY FOCUS

information to form smart systems using existing network infrastructure. There are numerous companies, both well-established providers of technology and new market entrants, enabling platforms to support IoT devices, and the next year will see further maturation. However, what will also be important for the future will be new international or de facto standards to enable interoperability between the different IoT platforms, and which will support true vendor-agnostic systems. 7. The Blockchain: more than Bitcoin For many, blockchain and Bitcoin have become synonymous. In reality, they are quite separate and while Bitcoin uses blockchain as its foundation, the potential for blockchain to verify almost anything that has a value is almost limitless. As an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way, the coming year will start to see blockchain being tested in multiple applications across numerous sectors. In our industry, given that blockchain enables the authentication of any content, blockchain could be used to verify video content from multiple sources – such as public mobile phones and law enforcement body-worn cameras – for use within forensic investigations. Beyond video data, blockchain could also be used to verify the authenticity of devices connected to the camera network. 8. Breaking down smart city silos The concept of a smart city (and safe cities as a result) isn’t a new one. For several years, the increasing number of sensors of different types being placed throughout urban environments are helping to solve specific use cases, from law enforcement to monitoring air quality. As the world’s population is increasingly housed in cities – 25% more people will live in a city in 2050 than do today – the use of sensors to help create more liveable, sustainable and safe environments will only increase. However, a true smart city is a vision for urban development that integrates

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

information, data, communications and Internet of Things (IoT) technology in a secure fashion to manage a city’s assets. These assets include government departments’ information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement and emergency services, and other community services. Traditionally, most of these individual services have operated in silos. And this is holding back the realization of the vision for smart cities. A city can only truly be ‘smart’ when all of its data is open and usable across every service. Dealing with urban challenges such as safety and security for citizens, traffic congestion, aging infrastructure, and responses to events such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks, requires coordinated analysis of available data in order to deliver an appropriate and effective response. 9. Non-visual sensors bring new dimensions Until recently, the primary – if not only – data available to surveillance operators was video which obviously only delivers a two-dimensional perspective. With the use of new, non-visual sensors, this view will become multi-dimensional, providing a richness of data that will enable for more rapid and accurate assessment of situations and, therefore, faster escalation, the activation of an appropriate response and the minimization of false alarms. Radar technology, for instance, uses electromagnetic waves to detect movement. Radar is not sensitive to the things that normally trigger false alarms – like moving shadows or light beams, small animals, raindrops or insects, wind, and bad weather – and it can provide detail about any object’s exact position and direction of travel. And while thermal imaging is a non-visual technology already relatively well-established, advances in the accuracy of sound detection, whether a window smashing, or raised, aggressive voices – mean that audio will bring another useful input that may be missed in a purely video-

based solution. 10. Virtual assistants and augmented reality leap into business The last year has seen significant consumer adoption of virtual assistants. Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Siri, and Microsoft’s Cortana have all gained momentum as technology to help people manage their daily lives, and forthcoming technologies such as Facebook M will only build on this. It is inevitable that these same technologies will start to find their way into the business environment, as consumers expect the same levels of technological help at work as they now get at home. Particularly for the providers of any sophisticated or complex technology-based products and services, virtual support in specification, installation, configuration, and management will become more than simply expected; it will become an imperative. Similarly, augmented reality (AR) is a technology that has largely existed in specific niches to date, such as the military and aviation, but again shows enormous potential in the business arena, particularly now it is available as a technology in mobile devices and in an increasing number of wearables. One of the obvious opportunities for AR in the business arena is in the installation and maintenance of technological solutions, where visual instructions can be overlaid on the real-world view of technicians to aid them in the work. In specific relation to our own business, with the growing use of non-visual sensors and analytics to add accuracy and further perspectives to visual information, consumers of video surveillance will be using AR to bring these sources of data together in a single view, enabling a more rapid and appropriate response. 2018 will no doubt see more trends emerge that we haven’t foreseen, and those above will have a greater or lesser impact than predicted. But what we do know is that we’re in a rapidly changing world from many different perspectives – political, cultural, economic as well as technological – and all organisations will need to show an agility in responding to them.

INDUSTRY FOCUS

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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

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

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

INDUSTRY FOCUS

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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

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

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

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

The role of Digital Identity in the future of BANKING INTRODUCTION

Q. DIGITAL IDENTITY A NOBRAINER FOR BANKS? If, as leading fintech authority Dave Birch of Consult Hyperion has famously asserted, “identity is the new money”, then it surely goes without saying that the future of banking is keeping identity safe? Just as banks have been the trusted guardians of our money for millennia, so, as we enter into the connected age, we will trust banks to look after its currency – our digital identity. This prized asset will be our passport through the digital world, our key to unlocking all the services we need as we navigate through our ecosystems. We will want both to be able to access and use it easily, and to be certain it is completely secure – exactly the conditions we have relied on our banks to ensure when it comes to our money for centuries. The logic of banks as leaders in digital identity is inescapable. For their part, this new avenue of business for the banks could not come at a more opportune moment. With the imminent enforcement of the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and the consequent unleashing of the phenomenon of open banking, incumbent banks are under siege. PSD2 is mandating the creation of a new competitive landscape. Regulated Third Party Payment Providers (TPPs) must be given access by the banks to the account information of their customers, in order to enable innovative new entrants to offer exciting new payment initiation and account aggregation capabilities to those customers. In other words, banks are being forced to make it easier for competitors to poach their customers.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

PSD2 is not the only driver for the move to open banking. Other regulation in other markets is having the same effect, as is the rise of new banking entrants, the relentless development of technology and the increasingly demanding requirements of tech-savvy customers. In the EU, PSD2 is increasing the urgency around open banking – and the rest of the world is watching this leading example of transformation develop. Certainly, incumbent banks have the same opportunities as new entrants in an open banking world. However, what they may not have is quite the agility – of technology and mindset – to react with the same speed, vigour and innovation as new competitors. There is no doubt that, coming on top of the already powerful wave of new competition heralded by the rise of fintech, open banking is creating challenges for existing financial institutions. This paper will argue that the case is especially convincing if banks build on both the core attributes they need to perform their central function – enabling secure, authenticated and compliant transactions – today, and as it evolves in the world of PSD2 and open banking. In effect, viewed in this light, there is a natural path for banks towards becoming the main gateways for identification and authentication in the connected world.

Q. WHY DO BANKS NEED TO LOOK FOR NEW BUSINESS MODELS? KEEPING THE CUSTOMER SATISFIED Remember that banks already have a customer engagement problem. Further illustration of the engagement challenge

INDUSTRY FOCUS

banks face comes from the results of a survey carried out by Finextra early in 2017 among 242 consumers from 20 countries (customers of 99 different banks between them), which do not paint a particularly rosy picture. A lacklustre 49% of respondents actively agree that their banks work hard to engage them, and that they do feel engaged. This statistic is especially concerning when viewed through the lens of findings of a parallel Finextra survey, which garnered 203 responses from 124 financial institutions in 36 countries, and which shows that banks are trying very hard to better engage with their customers. A large majority (84%) of banks in that study identified customer engagement as a top three priority – yet as we have seen, fewer than half of customers feel engaged as a result. In short, new sources of competition from agile, customer-focused new entrants are arguably the last thing banks need in the current environment, but they have no choice but to face and tackle them. GOING MOBILE: To combat the threat, bolster customer loyalty and underpin new customer acquisition, banks must provide services that are not only customer-driven, but work, are visible and add value where those customers are. In this digital age, that means mobile. It is also important to understand that

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

as well as innovation in channel and delivery, these customers are also looking for innovation in product and service. They don’t want to see their account information for the sake of it: they want their banking to relate to their lives. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT Last but not least, to cement their value in the digital world, banks must provide and ensure the highest levels of security. The environment in which they and their customers operate is transitioning from a closed system to an open platform. PSD2 and the connectivity required for open banking are predicated on the use of open APIs connecting the systems of TPPs and banks, and the regulation – and the customers – clearly expect the banks to make sure all this works in a secure way. Safe, streamlined digital identity services are what will enable customers to easily and safely access all the different providers in their ecosystem, at the same time enabling connections between all the sources of information banks will need to deliver integrated financial information and products to support their customers’ lifestyle choices. Overall, leadership in digital identity is key to empowering banks to deliver the customer-driven, mobile, innovative and secure services they need to offer, in order to keep hold of existing customers and pick up new ones in an ever-more

aggressively competitive banking landscape.

CONCLUSION: OPEN BANKING, KEY THREAT AND OPPORTUNITY FOR BANKS Open banking is creating a competitive imperative for banks to seek new sources of revenue and new business models – but as well as representing a critical threat for banks, open banking also presents an exciting opportunity for them, by strengthening their credentials as authentication and identity providers in a world crying out for the digital identity problem to be solved. As this paper has argued, the case for banks to be the main point of contact for authentication and identification in the connected world is a powerful one. Banks need only build on their existing strengths – trust, infrastructure, customer data and regulatory compliance – to position themselves convincingly in this role within the financial ecosystem first. If identity is the new money, then the new banking is surely digital identity management, and banks have all the assets required to make a success of this new business model, turning the potential negative of PSD2 into a positive, and carving out new sources of revenue – and relevance – in the digital ecosystems of the future.

Matrix Access Control Data Centre Solution Solution: Access Control for Data Centers

Data Centre Authentication: User shows biometric credentials to access the Data Centre.

Solution Description:

Data Centre Access allowed: Once user is allowed Access, he/she will move towards rack access authentication.

Centralized Biometric Authentication:

The features mentioned below enhance security of Data Centers:

About Solution:

Data Centers is a challenging domain, the success of which depends on security of client data. Most Data Centers store data for more than one organization. It is very crucial for Data Centers to prevent any unauthorized access of data. Matrix offers a solution whereby data racks are secured biometrically, with records of every access along with its duration. Only authorized person can access specific racks for the stipulated time using biometric verification.

How it works? The solution is available in two forms, the process of which is listed below: Solution 1: Time based Rack Access with Single Biometric Device

Rack Authentication: User will click on the screen and authenticate his/her identity through a biometric device placed alongside the screen. Rack Selection: Once user completes the authentication process for gaining access to respective racks, he will be able to select the racks to be accessed from a list of accessible racks. Rack Access Allowed: Finally, the user will perform his assigned task within the defined time period.

Biometrics provides high-end security over RFID, and hence, integrating biometrics with Access Control solution fetches complete security for Data Centers. Usually, an employee is required to punch twice in order to access the data rack of his/her organization. First Punch: A biometric device will be installed at the entrance of the Data Centre. A user will punch on the device and accordingly he/she will be granted/denied access. This authentication ensures that an authorized user is trying to access the data center. Second Punch: Once user is granted access, he/she will punch again at the device installed near the screen in order to access the respective racks. Once user punches, the screen will display the list of racks that he/she is allowed to access. For example – when ‘X’ employee of ‘ABC Organization’ punches second time, the screen will display a list of ABC Organization racks that are allotted to him. The user then needs to select the racks that he wants to access accordingly, he/she will be granted access. Pre-defined Rack Access: Every company has designated racks allotted to them. Admin can define the racks company-wise, which means whenever a user makes his second punch – a list with racks allotted to his/her respective company will be displayed on the screen. This feature acts as a USP for Data Centers as they can ensure that a rack of company

Every company has designated racks allotted to them. Admin can define the racks company-wise, which means whenever a user makes his second punch – a list of ABC Organization racks that are allotted to him will be displayed on the screen. This feature acts as USP for Data Centers as they can ensure that a rack of company “X” will not be accessible to or misused by employee of company “Y” Integration with Video Surveillance:

Matrix Access Control solution for Data Centers can be integrated with the Video Surveillance solution. Hence, when a user tries to access the Data Centre through the biometric device, an image gets captured. In case of unauthorized access, having an image can prove helpful for Data Centers. Rack Accessible for a Defined Time Period:

Every rack that is allocated to a company can only be accessed for a definite period of time. Admin can set the duration, and accordingly the rack will be accessible for the pre-defined time period. Connectivity Diagram: Application:

‘Data Rack’ Management: Data Centers have data of more than one organization stored in a single location. Managing the data racks is a cumbersome process for Data Centers. Through this solution, Data Centers can manage each and every company’s rack virtually along with enhancing the security. Reports: The solution provides reports for:

Data Centre Authentication: User shows biometric credentials to access the Data Centre. Data Centre Access allowed: Once user is allowed access, he/she will move towards rack access authentication.

SAFETY

Safety in Welding By S.K. Palit, Head-CCC & Strategic Support - Equipment, SGP & WAPS, Ador Welding Ltd.

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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

It’s important to remember to never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or welding clothing and insulate yourself from the work and ground.

• Follow the company’s internal safety practices • Awareness of the most common welding hazards and knowing how to avoid them ensures a safe, productive work environment for all.

Electric shock Electric shock is one of the most serious and immediate risks facing a welder. Electric shock can lead to severe injury or death, either from the shock itself or from a fall caused by the reaction to a shock. Electric shock occurs when welders touch two metal objects that have a voltage between them, thereby inserting themselves into the electrical circuit. For instance, if a worker holds a bare wire in one hand and a second bare wire with another, electric current will pass through that wire and through the welding operator, causing an electric shock. The higher the voltage, the higher the current and, thus the higher the risk for the electric shock to result in injury or death. The most common type of electric shock is secondary voltage shock from an arc welding circuit, which ranges from 20 to 100 volts. Bear in mind that even a shock of 50 volts or less can be enough to injure or kill an operator, depending on the conditions. Due to its constant change in

polarity, alternating current (AC) voltage is more likely to stop the heart than direct current (DC) welders. It is also more likely to make the person holding the wire unable to let go. To avoid secondary voltage shock, welding operators should wear dry gloves in good condition, never touch the electrode or metal parts of the electrode holder with skin or wet clothing and be sure to insulate themselves from the work and ground, keeping dry insulation between their body and the metal being welded or ground (such as a metal floor or wet surface). ADOR Welding Limited (AWL) offers a wide range of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), like Welding Gloves, Safety Shoes and other safety products to ensure the welders’ safety. In addition, AWL offers VRD (Voltage Reducing Device) as a built-in feature as an option, and also VRD Units which can be fitted externally to any AC or DC SMAW Welding machine, which keeps the secondary voltage down to a safe level of 18-20 V when no welding is being done (machine switched on, but in idle condition). Full welding power is automatically enabled whenever the welder strikes the welding arc. An even more serious shock, primary voltage shock, may occur when a welder touches electrically “hot” or “live” parts inside the welder case or the electric distribution system to which the welder is connected. This action can lead to a shock of 230 or 415 volts. AWL offers ELCB as an option in their welding machines to completely eliminate this hazard.

Fumes and gases Overexposure to welding fumes and gases can be hazardous to the health of the welder as well as any other person who is working in the vicinity of the welding area. Welding fume contains potentially harmful

TECH UPDATE

Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area.

complex metal oxide compounds from consumables, base metal and the basemetal coatings, so it is important to keep the head out of the fumes and use enough ventilation and/or exhaust to control the exposure to substances in the fume, depending on the type of rod and base metal being used. The specific potential health effects which relate to the welding consumable product being used can be found in the Health Hazard Data section of the Safety Data Sheet available from the consumable manufacturer. Welding areas require adequate ventilation and local exhaust to keep fumes and gases from the breathing zone and the general area. In most situations, a ventilation system- such as a fan, and an exhaust system or fixed or removable exhaust hoods- to remove fumes and gases from the work area are provided. AWL has introduced in their range different models of Welding Fume extraction systems, both stand-alone as well as centralized systems (KING EXTRACTORS), with advanced technology, special filters and with or without built-in compressors

Fire and explosions Welding arc creates extreme temperatures, and may pose a significant fire and

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | DECEMBER 2017

explosions hazard if safe practices are not followed. While the welding arc may reach temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the real danger is not from the arc itself, but rather the intense near the arc and the heat, sparks and spatter created by the arc. This spatter can reach up to 35 feet away from the welding space. To prevent fires, before beginning to weld, inspect the work area for any flammable materials and remove them from the area. Flammable materials are comprised of three categories: liquid, such as gasoline, oil and paint; solid, such as wood, cardboard and paper; gas, including acetylene, propane and hydrogen.

Ergonomics When welding heavy material manually

Special attachments and extensions to interconnection cables reduce welder fatigue for welding at long distances from the Power Source

Rotators are used to rotate a job with circular or cylindrical profile to help the welder consistently without changing his position and welding torch angle continuously

and during assembly welding the loads are very static. Positioning welding also gives high loads. Ergonomic control of 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.

effective safety equipment and facilities • To train in safe method of working and provide continuing education and guidance on eliminating safety hazards and prevention of accidents.

Electricity is made up of 3basic lements: • Current (I) amperes • Voltage (V) volts • Resistance (Ω) ohms

OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is part of the Department of Labor OSHA issues standards which employers must follow to protect their employees. The task of defining new safety standards for test equipment was recently addressed by the IEC (International Electro technical Commission). This organization develops international safety standards for electrical test equipment.

For a number of years the industry used IEC 348 in designing equipment. That standard was replaced by IEC 1010 which was recently updated to IEC 61010. While welldesigned IEC 348 testers have been used for years by technicians and electricians, the fact is that meters designed to the new IEC 61010 standard offers a significantly higher level of safety. Compliance with the directive can be achieved by proving conformance to a relevant technical standard, such
