INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW JUNE 2018 by Divya Media Publications Pvt. Ltd.

The four global pillars of tec.nicum When development engineers and production planners are developing new machines or modifying existing ones, they need to comply with the applicable national laws. For example, in Europe, the machines must meet the requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EU. However, in Brazil, it is Machinery Directive NR 12 which needs to be complied with. One of the focuses of the work carried out by the TÜV Rheinland certified engineers in terms of functional safety (FSE) is in the associated mandatory risk assessment. In Europe, compliance with the Machinery Directive is certified by means of a CE label. The operators of machines and systems must comply with the guidelines on health, safety and the environment (HSE) as defined in Europe in Article 153 EC or in the USA by OSHA - also known under the collective heading of safety in the workplace. The tec.nicum academy develops made-to-measure training programmes which are tailored to the individual specialist interests and requirements of those taking part. These include, for example, two to three-day workshops. On the first day, the expert knowledge is communicated in a block of theory. On the second and, if applicable, the third day, the participants can implement what they have learned in practice under the expert supervision of the speakers based on a current project within their company. The expert staff at tec.nicum have sound knowledge of the legal framework conditions, for example:

■ Technical safety advice based on ISO 12100:2010, which serves as the global basis for the relevant national standards

■ The design and / or upgrade of production machines and systems based on the regional or national guidelines, laws and ordinances applicable

■ Functional safety for validation and certification in accordance with ISO 13849-1, ISO 13849-2 and IEC 62061 ■ Sound knowledge on applied safety technology ■ Know-how on standardised EU norms and statutory regulations ■ Expertise on calculation of technical safety indices ■ Guidelines for tests and inspections Overall, the range at tec.nicum covers four columns all over the world: learning in the academy section, consultancy services in the consultancy section, designing safety solutions in the engineering section and practical implementation in the integration section.

CEO CORNER SKILL DEVELOPMENT - The need for skilled labour The shortage of skilled workers in industrial sector is reaching a new intensity, with many factory owners saying the lack of talent is hindering the growth of their companies. The difficulty in finding workers such as welders, tool and die makers, machinists and millwrights has long been a problem for industrial companies. But now, as the industrial work force turns increasingly grey, the skilled-worker shortage has become the top concern for many factory owners. A recent survey reported that 41 per cent of employers would hire more people if they could find those with the skills they needed. In India, among the major sectors, building, construction & real estate would require additional skilled workforce of 31.13 million, followed by retail 17.3 million, transportation and logistics 11.66 million and beauty & wellness 10.09 million. The report found that 7.18 million additional workforce would be required by furniture and furnishing, 6.48 million by tourism, hospitality and travel, 6.14 million by handlooms & handicraft, 3.9 million required by auto & auto components and 900,000 by media & entertainment. India’s transition to a knowledge-based economy requires a new generation of educated and skilled people. Its competitive edge will be determined by its people’s ability to create, share, and use knowledge effectively. A knowledge economy requires India to develop workers—knowledge workers and knowledge technologists—who are flexible and analytical, and who can be the driving force for innovation and growth. To achieve this India needs a flexible education system. In a globalised economy, a large pool of skilled workers is indispensable for attracting industrial investment including foreign direct investment. Developing skilled workers enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the labour market; reduces skills bottlenecks, enables absorption of skilled workers more easily into the economy, and improves their job mobility. It is crucial to invest in quality secondary and tertiary education and in vocational education and training (VET) if India’s economy is to develop and remain competitive in world markets.

Honeywell Introduces Electronic Air Cleaners for Commercial Buildings and offices in India Honeywell (NYSE: HON), a leader in Connected Building technologies, introduced Electronic Air Cleaners (EACs) for commercial buildings in India. The new line expands Honeywell’s comprehensive range of indoor products that help purify air in environments where people spend most of their time – at home, in cars, and now, in buildings like office spaces. “A healthy and productive work environment is a key element of any green, sustainable building,” said Sudhir Pillai, general manager, Connected Living Solutions, Home and Building Technologies, Honeywell India. “The long-term impact of clean air goes beyond enhancing occupant well-being, health and safety.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

Clean air keeps the air-conditioning system clean, reduces wear and tear, and improves energy efficiency and savings.” Studies show that air pollution can significantly impact productivity, costing India and its companies lost revenue. Good indoor air quality, along with a comfortable climate and balanced levels of light and noise, all play vital roles in creating a healthy and productive workplace. Honeywell’s range of solutions for commercial buildings and office spaces includes Electronic Air Cleaners and UV lamps that are designed to improve the air inside. Honeywell EACs are installed at point of air intake in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and enjoy

low total cost of ownership due to low requirement of consumables such as filters. In addition to the health benefits of cleaner air, Honeywell EACs lower energy consumption by reducing the pressure drop through electrostatic precipitation technology, which uses an electric charge to remove impurities – either solid particles or liquid droplets – from the air. The EACs apply only the energy needed to remove the particulate matter, and accomplishes this through use of smaller air handling unit fan motors. As a result, the EACs use less energy without significantly impeding the flow of air compared to conventional media-type air filters. The Honeywell EAC solutions are easy to install, making them ideal for retrofits,

property upgrades and new construction. Honeywell EACs have been independently tested and verified by LMS Technologies Inc, a reputable third-party testing laboratory in the United States, to meet Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 14 rating, which means Honeywell EACs can effectively remove particulate matter as small as 0.3 micron. The Honeywell EAC solution meets the stringent requirements as prescribed by Singapore IAQ Code SS 554:2009 and received the GreenPro certification from CII-Green Products and Services Council.

Honeywell Introduces New Connected Building Software to Optimize Space Usage and Operational Costs Honeywell (NYSE: HON), a global leader in Connected Buildings, introduced Honeywell Vector Space Sense, a software solution that shows where, when and how building spaces are used at any given point in time. As a result, the building operations team can make better-informed real estate and space usage decisions that provide opportunities to optimize costs and promote better building experiences for occupants. “From higher levels of employee productivity to healthier environments that help drive cost savings, Connected Buildings have real benefits for owners, operators and occupants,” said Vimal Kapur, president and chief executive officer, Honeywell Building Technologies. “Honeywell Vector Space Sense is the latest example of how Honeywell is using cutting-edge technology to enable smarter, data-driven buildings that work for their organizations.” Recent studies indicate most offices around the world are underutilized by as much as half of their actual capacity due to factors such as shifting work schedules, mobile technology usage and changing business needs. However, many facility managers lack the comprehensive insights required to take action to address these usage issues. This can lead to overpaying for unused space, wasted energy usage, off-temperature spaces and other inefficiencies that negatively impact an organization’s bottom line. Honeywell Vector Space

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

Sense helps address this issue by gathering and analyzing data from multiple sources throughout a building to deliver actionable insights that help personnel better utilize, optimize and prioritize building spaces. The facility team can view these insights through detailed, information-rich dashboards and reports incorporating visualization methods like maps, usage profiles, overall trends and other metrics to show where, when, and how space is used, along with opportunities to optimize usage and help reduce costs. For example, organizations can gain the necessary insights to repurpose unused spaces for more productive uses, make better-informed decisions about future space investments or divestments, and better align building equipment schedules with actual usage patterns. Honeywell Vector Space Sense is in use at London Health Sciences Centre, a London, Ontario-based hospital network with 15,000 employees that covers 1.9 million square feet and served more than 1 million patients in 2017. The hospital network chose to implement the technology to better understand the use of its clinical and office

spaces, following complaints of overcrowding and office expansion requests. With Honeywell Vector Space Sense, the network discovered that overcrowding in certain areas only happened at specific times, while other spaces often went unused for long periods of time. This information helped inform better space reallocation and scheduling. “Hospitals are complex systems, and not only are the operational costs high, so are the stakes. There’s no room for error when it comes to using your space most effectively,” said Derek Lall, director of facilities management, London Health Sciences Centre. “As a regional acute hospital, we must strike a balance between efficiency and comfort to ensure we’re delivering the best care possible and getting the most out of available resources. Honeywell Vector Space Sense is helping us do that by providing a level of insight all in one place that we’d otherwise have no way of obtaining.” Backed by a cloud-based infrastructure, Honeywell Vector Space Sense follows a three-step process that starts with gathering space utilization data from

multiple sources such as smart lights, bluetooth beacons, mobile apps, and other sensor-connected devices and equipment. The solution then applies analytics to the collected data, using customized algorithms and space utilization models to deliver actionable insights—the third and final step. “Expenses associated with unused building spaces often go unnoticed, simply because it’s so difficult to get an accurate, moment-by-moment view into how building spaces are used, or if they’re being used at all,” said John Rajchert, president, Building Solutions, Honeywell Building Technologies. “Honeywell Vector Space Sense takes the mystery out of space usage through real-time, IoT-enabled insights that give organizations the real picture of where and how people are using spaces, so they can get the most out of their buildings.” Honeywell Vector Space Sense is part of Honeywell’s Connected Services portfolio, which includes other technologies such as the Honeywell Vector Occupant App that leverage the connectivity of buildings to improve how they operate and the experiences they offer for those who visit and work within them.

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

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

for a process shutdown.

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

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

Q. How do good manufacturing practices contribute to occupational safety? It is a well-known fact that Good Manufacturing practices ensure that the workplace is effectively organized. We have implemented 5S across all the plants and it helps in creating safe working conditions. OSHA has recently updated the Guidelines for Safety and Health Programs it first released 30 years ago, to reflect changes in the economy, workplaces, and evolving safety and health issues. The new Recommended Practices have been well received by a wide variety of stakeholders and are designed to be used in a wide variety of small and medium-sized business settings. The Recommended Practices present a step-by-step approach to implementing a safety and health program, built around seven core elements that make up a successful program. The main goal of safety and health programs is to prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths, as well as the suffering and financial hardship these events can cause for workers, their families, and employers. The recommended practices use a proactive approach to managing workplace safety and health. Traditional approaches are often reactive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, problems are addressed only after a worker is injured or becomes sick. A new standard or regulation is published, or an outside inspection finds a problem that must be fixed. These recommended practices recognize that finding and fixing hazards before they cause injury or illness is a far more effective approach. The idea is to begin with a basic program and simple goals and grow from there. If you focus on achieving goals, monitoring performance, and evaluating outcomes, your workplace can progress along the path to higher levels of safety and health achievement.

Employers will find that implementing these recommended practices also brings other benefits. Safety and health programs help businesses: a. Prevent workplace injuries and illnesses b. Improve compliance with laws and regulations c. Reduce costs, including significant reductions in workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation premiums d. Engage workers e. Enhance their social responsibility goals f. Increase productivity and enhance overall business operations

Q. What are the security challenges akin to your industry and how do you address them?

are even more sophisticated and farreaching, and addressing those needs by engaging security professionals for expertly planned systems in a modern manufacturing environment is more critical than ever. Manufacturing represents a broad range of companies akin to our Industry and products, but they often share similar security concerns. For example, they may be prone to theft of high-priced or high-demand products. They may also be subject to industrial espionage or sabotage. When you combine those with the threats that come with industrial processes, such as general security, fire or other environmental concerns, the security needs in this sector are significant.

Promoting Electrical Safety In this interaction with Huned Contractor, Sanjeev Ranjan, Managing Director, International Copper Association India, elaborates about how the choice of good quality material for cables is an important requisite for preventing fire hazards

he International Copper Association India (ICA India) is a member of Copper Alliance and the Indian arm of the International Copper Association, the leading not-for-profit organisation for the promotion of copper worldwide. ICA India is driven by the same objective as that of its parent organisation, which is to ‘defend and grow markets for copper based on its superior technical performance and its contribution to a higher quality of life worldwide’. ICA India contributes mainly through its catalytic role, accelerating changes and transforming the long-term markets for copper in a sustainable way through major initiatives such as electrical safety and energy efficiency. ICA India’s activities focus on helping end users to better understand and appreciate the positive attributes of copper. With this aim, ICA India recently organised a seminar themed ‘Electrical Safety and Energy Conservation in Buildings’ in Mumbai, in conjunction with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Chief Electrical Inspectorate, and Consulting Electrical Engineers Association of Maharashtra (CEEAMA). The seminar focused on developing a culture of safe & sustainable use of electricity in the interest of the public, thus creating awareness across all stakeholders. Excerpts from an interview focusing on how the choice of materials too can help increase electrical safety:

Q. To enhance safety features in buildings – industrial, commercial and residential – what kind of new materials should be used in the production of electrical wires and cables? The conductor is the heart of wires and so the quality of conductor material plays a vital role in improving the performance of wire and indirectly the electrical system. Therefore, we should use the best quality of copper as a conductor material for wires and cables. Every manufacturer should use Electrolytic Tough

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

Pitch (ETP) grade copper wherein the purity of copper in percentage terms should be minimum 99.9% as per national standards. All electrical consultants and contractors, while specifying materials, should ensure quality credentials from independent laboratory, else poor quality of copper used in the wire may result in safety hazards as well as energy loss. Electrical safety is paramount in industries, as well as residential and commercial spaces. To ensure that copper is duly tested and verified for safety, in India we have IS 694 for PVC insulated wire for working voltages up to and including 1,100 V and IS 8130 for specification of conductor for insulated electrical wires and flexible cords. Additionally, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues ISI mark to all wire and cable manufacturers on compliance of minimum qualification criteria of the above mentioned IS standards. In addition, some new technologies preferred from an electrical safety perspective are: • Fire survival cables with copper conductor. • Fire-retardant (FR) cables. • Fire-retardant low smoke (FRLS). • Halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR). • Low smoke zero halogen cables. • Cross-link poly olefin insulated wires and cables. • Poly propylene insulated cables.

Q. How does India compare with the developed countries in the use of fireresistant cables in all buildings? Due to the voluntary nature of standards in India, people are not serious about use of advance technology cables like FR, FRLS, HFFR, LSZH, etc. in buildings as it leads to increase in the cost of electrical installation. Quality and safety is compromised over cost unlike in other developed countries where safety is the highest priority. Due to constant awareness by ICA India, cable manufactures, fire departments and concerned government departments are taking the issue serious-

ly. Some high-rise developers and builders have started asking for FR/FRLS as well as fire survival cables and this trend is slowly increasing. Certain mandates from national standards and codes may push the use of FR cables and advance versions of FR cables to the next level in line with other developed countries.

Q. What role should the government play in ensuring that cable manufacturers use the best materials for their products? To ensure that copper is duly tested and verified for safety, in India we have the required compliances as mentioned earlier. Meanwhile, there are certain other aspects that confirm adherence to compliance of minimum qualification criteria of IS standards. These include: • Strict monitoring and compliance of qualification criteria by BIS before issuing the ISI mark to wire manufacturers. • BIS should ensure regular sample check of all ISI-issued wire manufacturers. • Electrical consultants and A-grade Contractors and project heads should approve wire quality that adheres to maintaining resistance as per the given standards. • Testing of wire samples in large, medium and small projects should be mandatory. • The government should ask for valid test reports for the products from authorised laboratories like the CPRI and ERDA. • Government departments, especially those engaged in public works, should conduct surprise audit to review the performance of wires and cables.

Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) “The goal is that the same set of rules for classifying hazards, and same format & content for labels and safety data sheets (SDS) will be adopted and used around the world.” - R. R. Nair 1.0 INTRODUCTION: The production and use of chemicals are fundamental factors in the economic development of all countries. The first and most essential step leading to safe use of chemicals is to know their identity, their hazards to health and environment and means to control them. This knowledge should be available in such a way that essential information on the hazards and corresponding protective measures can be identified and conveyed to the user in a form that is easy to understand. The very purpose of classification and identification of chemicals is to fulfil the need for conveying information on protection against hazards to the user in the most direct manner. The hazard classification and labelling process is an essential tool for establishing an effective information transfer so that the degree of the hazard the chemical represents for man and the environment can be recognised, the correct preventive actions be chosen, and safe use achieved. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has adopted the Convention No. 170 and Recommendation No. 177 on safety in the use of chemicals at work in 1990. The United Nations recommendations on transport of dangerous goods is widely recognised and used among the UN Member States. Hence, hazard classification systems are included in legalisations enacted by various countries, conveying the safe production, transport, use and disposal of chemicals. These classifications are designed to provide a systematic and comprehensible transfer of health information. However, the classification criteria and their definition used in these systems vary in the number and degree of hazard scales, specific terminology and test method, and methodology of classified mixtures of chemicals. Thus, it was felt that the establishment of an international structure for harmonising classification and labelling system for chemicals would have a beneficial impact on a chemical

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

trade, on the exchange information related to chemicals, on the cost of risk assessment and management of chemicals, and ultimately on the protection of workers, the general public and the environment.

2.0 GHS CONCEPT: GHS is an acronym for the Globally Harmonised System of the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. It is a system for standardising and harmonising the classification and handling of chemicals. GHS was developed by the United Nations, as a way to bring into agreement the chemical regulations and standards of different countries. The GHS development began at the 1992 Rio Conference on Environment and Development by the United Nations also called as Earth Summit (1992) when the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), various governments and other stakeholders agreed that “A globally harmonized hazard classification and compatible labelling system, including material safety data sheets and easily understandable symbols, should be available if feasible, by the year 2000”. The work was coordinated and managed under the auspices of the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) Coordinating Group for the Harmonization of Chemical Classification Systems (CG/HCCS). The technical focal points for completing the work were entrusted to: (1) the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the hazard communication; (2) the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the classification of health and environmental hazards; and (3) the United Nations Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UNSCETDG) and ILO for the physical hazards

GHS is a set of guidelines for ensuring the safe production, transport, handling, use and disposal of hazardous materials. In short, GHS is an international attempt to get everyone on the same page. The hope is that every country will incorporate the tenets of the GHS into their own chemical management system, with the global of making the international sale and transportation of hazardous chemicals easier, as well as, making workplace conditions safer for all employees, exposed to chemical hazards. The GHS is not a global law or regulation, but it is a system. It should be regarded as a set of recommendations or collection of best practices. No country is obliged to adopt all or even any part of the GHS. Countries can pick and choose these pieces of GHS they wish to incorporate into their own regulations (as per UN, this is called building block approach). Each adopting country is solely responsible for its enforcement within into jurisdiction. The most noticeable changes brought by GHS for most organisations will be changes to safety labels, safety data sheets and chemical classifications. The GHS covers all hazardous chemicals and may be adopted to cover chemicals in the workplace, transport, consumer products, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. The target audience for GHS include workers, transport workers, emergency responders & consumers. The first edition of the GHS was published by the United Nations in 2003 which is also known as the UN GHS Purple Book. Thereafter the GHS has been updated, revised and improved every two years and the latest revised edition (7th) was published in July 2017. It may be noted that most countries currently implemented 3rd, 4th, or 5th revised editions. As on 12th February, 2018, 72 countries have adopted GHS or in the process of adopting GHS. GHS has been introduced in European Union and European Economic

3.0 GHS ELEMENTS: The GHS defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products, and communicates health and safety information on labels and safety data sheets. The goal is that the same set of rules for classifying hazards, and same format and content for labels and safety data sheets (SDS) will be adopted & used around the world. The main elements in GHS are: (1)Hazard Classification; (2) Label Elements; (3) Hazard Pictograms; (4) Safety Data Sheet; and (5) Training. 3.1 GHS Hazard Classification: GHS deal with three types of Hazard classification, viz.: (1) Health Hazards; (2) Physical Hazards; and (3) Environmental Hazards. Health hazards presents dangers to human health, which consists of 10 Hazard Classes. Physical hazards cause damage to the body, which consists of 16 Hazard Classes. Environmental hazards has 2 Hazard Classes. However in 2009, a new hazard class for

substances and mixtures hazardous to the ozone layer was introduced in the 3rd revised edition of GHS. 3.2 GHS Label Elements: The standardized label elements included in the GHS are: Symbols (Hazard Pictograms); Signal Words; Hazard Statement; Precautionary Statements; Product Identifier; Supplier Identification; and Supplemental Information. (See Fig 02) 3.3 GHS Hazard Pictograms: GHS focus on four types of pictograms, viz.: (1) Physical Hazards Pictograms; (2) Health Hazards Pictograms; (3) Physical & Health Hazard Pictograms; & (4) Environmental Hazards Pictograms, which are shown in Fig 03. There has been discussion about the size of GHS pictograms and that a GHS pictogram might be confused with a transport pictogram or “diamond”. Transport pictograms are different in appearance than the GHS pictograms. Annex 7 of the Purple Book explains how the GHS pictograms are expected to be proportional to the size of the label text so that generally the GHS pictograms would be smaller than the transport pictograms.

3.4 GHS Label Format: It may be mentioned here that, the GHS includes directions for application of the hazard communication elements on the label. In particular, it specifies for each hazard, and for each class within the hazard, what signal word, pictogram, and hazard statement should be used. The GHS hazard pictograms, signal words and hazard statements should be located together on the label. The actual label format or layout is not specified in the GHS. National authorities may choose to specify where information should appear on the label or allow supplier discretion. 3.5 Safety Data Sheet: The safety data sheet or SDS (The GHS dropped the word “material” from material safety data sheet) is specifically aimed at use in the workplace. It should provide comprehensive information about the chemical product that allows employers and workers to obtain concise, relevant and accurate information in perspective to the hazards, uses and risk management of the chemical product in the workplace. While there were some differences in existing industry recommendations and country specific requirements, there was agreement on a 16 section SDS to include the following headings in the order specified: (1) Identification; (2) Hazard(s) identification; (3) Composition/ information on ingredients; (4) First-aid measures; (5) Fire-fighting measures; (6) Accidental release measures; (7) Handling and storage; (8) Exposure control/ personal protection; (9) Physical and chemical properties; (10) Chemical stability and reactivity; (11) Toxicological information; (12) Ecological information; (13) Disposal considerations; (14) Transport information; (15) Regulatory information; and (16) Other information. The GHS SDS headings, sequence and content are similar to the ISO, European Union and ANSI MSDS/SDS requirements. The SDS should provide a clear description of the data used to identify the hazards. 3.6 Training: Training will be a key component of the overall GHS approach and should incorporate information as it is introduced into the workplace. Employees and emergency responders will need to be trained on all new program ele-

4.0 GHS IN INDIA: India has not officially adopted GHS so far. India currently uses a combination lists and laws to classify chemicals and govern their storage and handling. Before reviewing the present status of GHS in India, let us know the background of developing various statutes relating to safety in particular on handling of hazardous chemicals in India. In India, the following statutes have provisions on chemical safety, and some of these have also the stipulation about information to be passed on to workers and general public: 1. The Factories Act 1948 as amended in 1987 and the Factories Rules framed by various State Governments. 2. The Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Rules, 1989, (MSIHC). 3. The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, (CMV) as amended in 2016. 4. The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations, 1990. Some of the salient provisions in the above statutes and codes are briefed below:

Fig 03 - GHS Hazard Pictograms

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

4.1 Factories Act: The Factories Act for British India was first legislated in 1881, which was only a social legislation arising out of public concern over the employment of young children irrespective of their age, and of women, in textile mills, for almost 12 hours a day. Gradually, welfare measures such as prescription of the age of children to be permitted to work in manufacturing unit, prohibition of children from work in dangerous operations, restriction in the working hours of women, provision of adequate ventilation, washing facilities, drinking water, canteen, etc., where added. Extensive health and safety provisions were also incorporated during these periods. These were achieved through enactment of fresh Factories Act for India, in 1891, 1911, 1922, 1934 and 1948, each with important additional provisions. After such evolution, the Factories Act, 1948, became reasonably complete in all health and safety provisions. Even so, amendments had to be incorporated in 1976 and 1987, based on the practical problems faced in proceedings three decades. In the 1976 amendments, the provision regarding the appointment of qualified safety officer was added. In 1987 amendments, which almost followed the Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984, provisions on hazardous process units and environmental safety were added. With the federal setup of the government in the country, the Factories Act and Amendments to the Act are enacted by the Central Government, and enforcement is left to the State Governments, who issue comprehensive Factories Rules under the enabling provisions of the Factories Act.

One of the general duties of every occupier, prescribed under Section 7A (2) (C) of the Factories Act, is to provide such information, instruction, and training and supervision as are necessary to ensure the health and safety of all workers at work. Under Section 41B of the Act also insist that the occupier of every factory involving hazardous process, is to disclose to the workers and the general public, in the prescribed manner, all information regarding the health hazards and measures to overcome such hazards. The State Factories Rules framed under the Factories Act have prescribed that the information to be disclosed, shall cover: 1. Requirements of Sections 41-B and 41-H of the Factories Act. 2. A list of hazardous process carried in the factory. 3. Location and availability of all MSDS 4. Meaning of various labels and markings used on the containers of hazardous substances. 5. Physical and health hazards arising out of the exposure to or handling of substances. 6. Measures taken by the occupier to ensure safety and control of physical and health hazards. 7. Measures to be taken by the workers to ensure safe handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substances. 8. Signs and Symptoms likely to be manifested on exposure to hazardous substances and to whom to report; 9. Measures to be taken by the workers in case of any spillage or leakage of a hazardous substances; 10. Personal Protective Equipment required to be used by workers employed in hazardous process or dangerous operations; 11. Role of workers vis-a-vis the emergency plan of the factory, in particular the evacuation procedures; 12. Any other information considered necessary by the occupier to ensure safety and health of workers. The above information shall be compiled and made available to workers individually in the form of booklets or leaflets and display of cautionary notices at the workplaces. This information will be in the language understood by majority of the workers. Whereas this is a general requirement applicable to all hazardous process units, the

TECH UPDATE

State Factories Rules have prescribed in the Schedules on Dangerous Operations, the display of cautionary placards. The State Factories Rules have also made provisions under Section 41-B of the Factories Act, that every occupier shall obtain or develop information on each hazardous substance handled, maintain it as Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and make this available for reference to the workers on request. The format of this MSDS contain 9 sections viz.: (1) Material Identification and Use; (2) Hazardous Ingredients of Material; (3) Physical Data for Material; (4) Fire and Explosion Hazard of Material; (5) Reactivity Data; (6) Toxicological Properties of Material; (7) Preventive Measures; (8) First Aid Measure and (9) Preparation Date of MSDS. The Factories Act also specifies the exposure limits to chemicals and toxic substances and lists 116 such substances along with their 15 minutes and 8 hour exposure limits. 4.2 MSIHC Rules: India has enacted its Environment (Protection) Act, way back in 1986, i.e. immediately after the Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984. In 1989, India has also enacted Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, which was amended in 1994 and 2000. Rule 4(2) (B) (ii) of the MSIHC Rules, stipulate that the occupier should provide to the persons working on the site with information, training and equipment including antidotes necessary to ensure their safety. Rule 13(4) of MSIHC Rules prescribes that the occupier shall ensure that a mock drill of the onsite emergency plan is conducted every six months and it serves as a practical training to the workers on how to handle an accident situation. Rule 15 (1) of MSIHC Rules stipulates that the occupier of a hazardous chemical installation shall take steps to inform the people outside the site about the nature of the potential major accident hazard and safety measures and the ‘do’s and ‘don’ts’ to be adopted in the event of a major accident. Rule 17(1,2,3) of MSIHC Rules prescribes that the occupier of a hazardous chemical installation, shall maintain Safety Data Sheets on the hazardous chemicals handled and make them accessible to the workers. Also

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

these rules require labelling of all hazardous chemicals to include physical, chemical and toxicology data. The format of this Safety Data Sheets contain 10 sections viz.: (1) Chemical Identity; (2) Physical and Chemical Data Section; (3) Fire and Explosion Hazard Data; (4) Reactivity Data; (5) Health Hazard Data; (6) Preventive Measures; (7) Emergency and First Aid Measure; (8) Additional Information/ References; (9) Manufacturer/ Supplier Data and (10) Disclaimer. 4.3 CMV Rules: Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) Rules, 1989, deals with almost all aspects of road transportation in general and also specifically addresses transportation of hazardous goods. The CMV Rules require Class Label to be displayed in a specified manner during the transport of hazardous chemicals indicating whether the substance transported is toxic, flammable or explosive. Rule 135 of CMV Rules, stipulates that the owner of every goods carriage transporting dangerous or hazardous goods shall ensure that the driver of the carriage has received adequate instruction and training to enable him to understand: 1. the nature of the goods being transported by him, 2. the nature of risks arising out of such goods, 3. the precaution should be taken while the goods carriage is in motion or stationary & 4. the action he has to take in case of an emergency. The above aspects are taken care by carrying MSDS and TREMcard in the driver’s cabin of vehicles transporting hazardous chemicals. 4.4 Dock Workers Regulations: India has separate regulations for dealing with safety, health and welfare of the dock workers, which is covered by Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Act 1986, Rules 1990 and Regulations 1990. Regulation Number 111, stipulate that initial and periodical training shall be imparted to all categories of dock workers, responsible and authorised persons depending upon their nature of work and skill required and performing their duties. 4.5 Current Status of GHS: In July 2011, the Ministry of Environment

and Forests published a draft document called Hazardous Substances (Classification, Packaging and Labelling) Rules, 2011. It is fully assigned with United Nations GHS. Even though the Rules have never officially been adopted, the new 16 Section Safety Data Sheet (SDS) requirements given in the draft document can help in the preparation of SDS for Indian market. As a signatory to the UN Globally Harmonised System on Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, it is assumed that India is on the verge of publishing a set of final rules governing the topic that will bring the country in line with UN requirements. Accordingly the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, formed a National Co-ordination Committee to prepare a National Action Plan for Chemicals for India. It is expected that a draft report of the National Action Plan will be released in the first half of 2018. The draft report will include plans for the revision of existing chemicals legislation and GHS adoption.

5.0 CONCLUSION: GHS is the culmination of more than a decade’s work, which spanned a wide range of expertise from a multitude of countries, international organisations and stakeholder organisations. The work began with the premise that the existing system shall be harmonised in order to develop a single, globally harmonised system to address classification of chemicals, labels, and safety data sheets. India has not officially adopted GHS so far. The present statues of India in particular, the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules and the Factories Act does not confirm to GHS. Thus the concerned Ministries would have to radically revise these rules to avoid conflict and confusion with the new GHS Rules that would be introduced.

The Core Integration Platform Must Have Features Integrated access control solutions meet the Organizations security and business requirements. This helps to efficiently and reliably manage multiple access points, control risk, improve business efficiency, ensure business continuity and increase profitability.

oing beyond traditional access control creates new possibilities that help achieve compliance and best practice at all levels of the Organization. An Integrated access control solution must make the following possible: • Set door and zone entry rules • Monitor all access points to know ‘where, when and why’ people are, at all times, on the premises. • Proactively manage site access by integrating with existing HR systems

control solution. This must be designed to help the Organization, easily and simply, manage access control at the site. The basic requirements of such a system would be as follows: • Must be fully customizable to suit the unique needs of the site. It must allow the organization to configure, manage and report on all aspects of the system. • Must allow seamless integration with other products. This will make it a powerful software platform that will make staff training easier and will improve business efficiency. • Should be possible to provide access control both across single site facilities or multiple global sites. • Manage cardholders, including their access, cards and photo identification. • Monitor alarms and control all system aspects. • Retrieve and report on stored system information. • Interface to and exchange information with third party systems. • Configure the site and all system components. The system must have flexibility that allows for tailored solutions that address specific customer needs. Such flexibility helps Organizations achieve operational continuity, gain cost savings and generate revenue. They could also provide additional benefits such as the ability to meet compliance regulations and achieve workplace health and safety objectives. Systems must operate on a common platform that gives the Organization the flexibility to select multi vendor hardware. Manufacturers are increasingly making their products operate on common systems platforms. What was once a technical nightmare of different protocols and technological incompatibility is increasingly becoming a “plug and play” solution, where the in-built technology manages all aspects of integration. Leading security organisations are now placing emphasis on the access

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

control system as the core integration platform. Instead of access control, intruder and CCTV systems working in near isolation from each other, they must be networked and centrally or remotely monitored and controlled via the access control solution. Easy integration starts with the CCTV camera systems linked into the graphical user interface of the access control software. This way, daily operations can be managed without having to switch between separate software systems. Practical examples of this include CCTV cameras that are programmed to pan to and automatically record specific events when activated by user defined triggers, such as a fire door being opened or a snap shot of the individual attempting an unauthorized access. The operator would immediately see live video from the appropriate camera pop-up on the screen and take action as required. This level of integration offers a greater level of supervisory capability to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of daily operations. Security officers can be better deployed, monitored and supported as they perform both routine site checks and specific incident response duties during out-of-hours periods such as overnight, weekends and bank holidays. Similarly, detector activations can lead to alarms being raised at a monitoring station located anywhere around the world.

Additional benefits of Integration Work force management: • Evacuation monitoring and providing visibility of staff and contractors in hazardous zones. Avoids lengthy delays when employees are to be cleared from unsafe areas. • Employees feel safer, knowing that in an emergency they can be located promptly. • Enables the Organization to set up rules to govern the individual’s time on site in one shift, time on site across multiple shifts, and minimum break time between shifts. This helps in accurately managing employee fatigue levels. • Provide an alert if visitors have spent too long a period within a defined area.

Industrial Fire Protection Cables

here should be no argument that wherever it is, safety is important. However, sometimes it is unintentionally overlooked which leaves life exposed to risks. One of the most dangerous casualties that can occur at a building or an industrial space is a fire outbreak. Elimination of fire hazards can be done by each of us before, during and after the tasks are being accomplished. The subject of fire protection is also very important to investors when they erect buildings or purchase production facilities, not least due to statutory regulations. A further problem lies with fire spreading via the cable routing paths installed in industrial units. Here, careful selection of the materials utilised is important. This has led to the awareness of cables and wires used in industrial units. Nowadays there are cables that have low smoke gas development in the event of fire, produce less (visible or invisible) toxic gases and do not conduct the flame like a fuse. Today, they are combined under the term fire protection cables. In the event of a fire, they improve the chances of survival of people and reduce the health risks associated with the inhalation of smoke. Different kinds of industrial hazards that can cause a fire outbreak are: • Combustible Dust: An insidious threat is combustible/flammable dust. This unmitigated dust which can lead to violent flash fires and explosions. There have been hundreds of dust fires and explosions over the years, many causing catastrophic loss of life and property. • Oil & Gas: In industrial units, oil and gas can trigger fire and explosion at any time due to ignition of flammable vapours or gases. Flammable gases, such as well gases, vapours, and hydrogen sulphide, can be released from wells, production equipment or surface equipment. Ignition sources can include static, electrical energy sources, open flames,

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

lightning, cigarettes, cutting and welding tools, hot surfaces, and frictional heat. • Chemicals & Lubricants: A fire can also be triggered due to a chemical reaction that ignites a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical compound. • Electrical Sparks: Exposed wiring, overloaded circuits and static discharge can cause a spark which can thereby serve as an ignition source for combustible dust, as well as flammable liquids and gases.

Role of inflammable cable technology in industrial safety: In order to curb the above risks and the resulting damage, the cable industry has developed highly inflammable, halogenfree cables which meet heightened safety requirements. Halogen-free means that these cables are completely free of the reactive elements bromine, iodine, fluorine and chlorine. This has many advantages: • There are no corrosive gases released. Irritation of eyes and the respiratory tract is greatly reduced. Aggressive chemical compounds are also not formed with the extinguishing water. This means that substantial secondary damage is not caused to the building and the electrical installations due to corrosion. • The proportion of toxic gases is low. Dioxins are no longer emitted from burning cables. • Halogen-free Flame-Retardant cables with improved performance in the event of fire are extremely flame-retardant and allow for little spreading of flames. The dreaded fuse effect does not occur, the focus of the fire does not extend beyond the location of the fire. • Halogen-free cables with improved characteristics produce little smoke in the event of fire. Escape routes and

extinguishing routes for the fire brigade are hardly impeded by dense smoke. LAPP, the leading German brand and a global supplier of integrated solutions and branded products in the field of cable and connection technology, has a number of cable types in its portfolio, and also FIRE Survival cables for circuit integrity application for Ex: ÖLFLEX® FIRE, is cable suitable for fire application for CWZ category for 3 hours.

The future for smoke alarm devices: VdS 3438-3 Many of the innovative possibilities of smoke alarm devices are not supported by EN 14604 (published in 2005). VdS now har-monises the standard specifications with the opportunities of-fered by state-of-the-art technology: New guidelines VdS 3438-3 offer manufacturers precise, standard-compliant support for shaping this future market – and for utilising IoT opportunities.

he European product norm 14604 specifies requirements for manufacturers who want to sell smoke alarm devices in the EU states. The current version dates from 2005 – and thus lags behind the rap-id technical development by more than a decade. The extensive possibilities of modern digitalisation and networking in this large and important market are not taken into account. For example, the standard was published two years before the first smartphone came onto the market, changing the entire user behavior significantly. “There is a huge gap here between the relevant standard and the current

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

possibilities of smoke alarm devices”, emphasises Ulrich Rabe, deputy head of the VdS fire protection laboratories. “Differen-tiation, e.g. through integration in smart home systems, is crucial for gaining market share, since the typical optical signaling principle has existed since 1976 and is therefore very well-established. In ac-cordance with VdS´ innovation focus, we now support manufactur-ers with precise `Guidelines for Home Protection Management Sys-tems – Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Function´, thereby combining the opportunities of technical development with the demand for maximum safety – at all times in accordance with EN 14604”.

VdS 3438-3 are also the first guidelines permitting smoke alarm de-vices to sound an alarm in the event of a break-in – naturally with a clearly distinguishable signal. Irrespective of all this, the top priority is, of course, saving lives in the event of a fire. Therefore, the core requirement is that the system always functions autonomously. The new guidelines for the EN-compliant integration of smoke alarm devices in the booming smart building systems are now available free of charge from Europe´s No.1 for fire protection.

New requirements for machine safety in Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 would be inconceivable without functional machine safety. But the digital transformation poses new challenges for experts in safety technology. They need to keep up with the rapid pace of technical developments, even in terms of standardisation. At the same time, safety technology needs to become an integral part of every system, not only to protect the employees from injuries, but also as a tool to increase production efficiency.

The modular safety controllers from the PSC product range from Schmersal provide the option of individually configuring flexible protection systems based on software.

Siegfried RĂźttger, Project Manager for Industry 4.0 , Schmersal Group

ne of the key objectives of Industry 4.0 is improved efficiency, which can be achieved through predictive maintenance, for example. This should also enable improved production planning, longer running times and increased machine availability. This requires the components used in the machines to be able to generate data and information. Based on the machine and production data read on an ongoing basis, predictions can be derived on the status of the system. As a rule, these are used to plan service intervals, avoid or minimise production downtime and maximise production turnover. A prerequisite for this is that safety switches can also pass on diagnostic information. This is already happening, one example is RFID-based safety sensors which allow high levels of tolerance to

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

door offset. If the offset limits are reached, the sensors issue an electronic warning signal before the machine shuts down, thus providing information which can be used for preventive maintenance. Networking is another important element of Industry 4.0: machines and intelligent workpieces will be able to cooperate. Machines and transport systems should be able to make autonomous â&#x20AC;&#x153;decisionsâ&#x20AC;? as to whether a subsequent production stage should be delayed or if another welding robot should take over in the event that one fails, for example. Converting production systems or machines to manufacture different product variants should also be possible on an automated basis without interrupting production processes. New safety engineering solutions need to be developed for these changing production methods.

product range from Schmersal provide the option of configuring flexible custom safety systems on a software basis. There is also safe communication between different PSC controllers via Ethernet SDDC (Safety Device to Device Communication). This simplifies the design of complex, multi-part plants with interconnected safety sub-systems. In these systems, individual production cells can communicate with one another for safety purposes. Another advantage of the PSC range is the option of forwarding additional non-secure diagnostic signals via a standard bus system to another automation controller or the IT environment. This means, for example, signals can be evaluated which are relevant to the avoidance of downtimes and increasing plant availability.

Dynamic safety solutions

Economical solutions for small and medium-sized machines

While production previously involved integral system, the safety technology of the future needs to respond to dynamic production units by providing solutions which are just as dynamic. Machine safety functions will therefore increasingly be implemented using programmable safety controllers. The modular safety controllers in the PSC

Of course, the economic viability of safety solutions also needs to be taken into consideration, and not all machines are complex systems. For small and medium-sized systems where the user does not wish to use a bus system at the sensor/actuator level, the Schmersal Safety Installation Systems with an SD

interface are a simple installation solution for series connection. This means that non-safety-related diagnostics signals can be transmitted to a standard PLC via the conventional fieldbus system such as Profibus. The new multi-functional relay modules in the Protect SRB-E range from Schmersal offer cost-effective solutions which can be used in a wide range of applications. Each module has multiple functions, so the customer can simply select the application or function they require. At the same time, Schmersal has a comprehensive range of safety components with built-in AS-i interface. All the major ranges from Schmersal are available with AS-i safety hubs. The benefit of the AS-i safety solutions is that they enable extensive diagnostics options despite minimum cabling.

Standardisation: Safe data via OPC-UA In the future, machines will be able to send safety-related data to a cloud on a predictive basis. The problem lies in the fact that different protocols have been used in the past for communication between two devices in industrial automation, and these protocols are not compatible with one another. In order for controllers to be able to exchange data with one another and with the cloud, companies are working on integrating OPC UA as the standardised protocol for data exchange in the next generation of their products. The Schmersal Group also considers OPC UA will be the future standard for M2M communication protocols, as it not only transports machine data but also allows a semantic description of the data. Although the exchange of non-safety-related data has largely been successfully standardised in line with the

OPC-UA model, there is still a need for standardisation for the transfer of safety-related data via the OPC UA protocol. Schmersal is in favour of a joint approach by all manufacturers in the machine safety sector. The benefit of primarily software based safety solutions are clear: in the future, all safety-related data can be transferred to a cloud and collected there, for example, technical data from sensors, reaction times, safety-critical failure rates, etc. This allows a higher-level computer to analyse the current risk based on this data and determine the measures to be taken to reduce this risk. This will allow future safety solutions to be simply adapted to flexible, dynamic production units and machines.

Adapting the standards to Industry 4.0 But all this is still in the future. There are some hurdles to be overcome first. For example, increases in software-based safety solutions will lead to another group of personnel, the programmers, having to get to grips with the subject of safety. Many design engineers have already been trained in the current hardware solutions in the safety technology sector. This has led to a reduction in error frequency. Machine manufacturers and users implementing safety-driven software solutions also need to familiarise their IT experts in the safety requirements. Clear standards and regulations are helpful in this respect. The amended DIN EN ISO 138491-1:2016 does not include detailed quantifiable aspects such as error prevention in development and in software. However, further development and adaptation of the standards is necessary in order to take the new requirements of Industry 4.0 into consideration. In all cases, strong knowledge

The Schmersal Safety Installation Systems (from left to right): The PDM passive distributor module, the PFB passive fieldbox and the SRB-E active input extensions.

With respect to machine safety and Industry 4.0, increased knowledge transfer is required, and this is where tec.nicum, the Schmersal service division, comes in.

transfer is necessary around the topics of machine safety and Industry 4.0. The Schmersal Group has considered this development with the foundation of its services division: “tec.nicum” offers machine constructors and operators not only training and manufacturer-neutral advice, but also programming of the safety software.

Knowledge transfer and use cases In order to support machine manufacturers and users on the introduction of digital future technologies with automation and safety-driven solution strategies and provide expert advice, Schmersal has set itself the objective of permanently expanding its own expertise. It is especially important for experts in machine safety to be at the cutting edge of technology. In order to achieve the best possible safety solution from an economic perspective, machine safety specialists should be involved as early as the design phase of machine and plant construction. As a member of the ZVEI, the VDMA and the initiatives “Mechanical Engineering Future Alliance” and LNI4.0 Labs Network Industry 4.0, the Schmersal Group can benefit from information exchange in these interdisciplinary expert and working groups made up of representatives from mechanical engineering, applied research and the supplier industries. The companies in these networks also work together on specific use cases.

Dahua New Generation of Thermal Imaging Cameras

Dahua Thermal Cameras Create Value with Temperature

ahua Technology, a leading solution provider in the global video surveillance industry announced today that it has developed a new generation of thermal imaging devices. Conventional surveillance cameras are already capable of capturing video in daytime and well-lit areas. However, when faced with a poorly lit area or at night, these camerasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; video capture abilities begin to diminish as sensors must compensate for the lack of light by increasing sensitivity, thus producing a noisy image, if one is produced at all. Since clear day and night monitoring is an important benchmark in assessing a surveillance systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectiveness, thermal imaging devices present a clear advantage in their ability to convert heat energy into an image visible to the human eye. Leveraging its experience in camera image analysis and intelligent algorithms, Dahua Technology has developed a new

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | JUNE 2018

generation of thermal imaging devices with innovative functions that balance visible light with infrared, enabling users to effectively monitor an area under all lighting conditions. In addition, these functions include advanced capabilities such as intelligent temperature measurement and behavior analysis, further extending the scope of surveillance applications such as perimeter protection or equipment

predictive maintenance in substations. The new products adopt advanced uncooled infrared detectors with 400x300 effective pixels, realizing a 40% increase over the previous infrared detector with336x256 effective pixels. The benefit is that the field of view is increased, for example, TPC-BF5400 with 13mm thermal lens, has a 29.7ox22.3o field of view, and the older model TPC-BF5300 is 25ox19o with the same lens.

TECH UPDATE

Meanwhile, newer models have received improvements in detailed information, contrast and other upgrades. Thermal imaging is probably the most reliable security solution for perimeter protection. A thermal camera is less sensitive to changes in the environment. It detects moving people or objects even in total darkness, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The Dahua IVS (Intelligent Video System) is a built-in video analytics algorithm that delivers intelligent functions to monitor a scene for tripwire violations, intrusion detection, and abandoned or missing objects. It requires a certain number of pixels on the target to function properly. The DH-TPC-BF5400-B13 model, can be utilized to form a perimeter intruder detection system, performing as an invisible wall. When installed at the recommended height of 5 meters, one camera can cover a 100 meters long fence. Whether it is day or night, as long as someone enters into a targeted area, a warning will be sent to the control center. A thermal camera is not just for video surveillance, it is also suitable for remote temperature monitoring to prevent accidents. Calculating the corresponding relationship between received radiation energy and temperature, it shows the surface temperature of the target through different gray values. Currently, the temperature measurement tolerance is within a certain range- ±2°C, ±2%. It provides users with real-time information about substation equipment much more efficiently, saving time and labor. If the temperature

Dahua Thermal Cameras For Remote Temperature Measurement

of equipment or part of the station exceeds a preset threshold, the system will automatically trigger an alarm and alert management. For a thermal camera, the radiation does not only depend on the temperature, the surrounding environment also emits radiation, especially high temperature objects at close distance, which will be reflected by the target surface. The emitted radiation of the object and the reflected radiation are also affected by atmospheric absorption. Therefore, to measure temperature precisely, it’s necessary to consider the effect of different radiant sources. A precise temperature measurement should include these three steps: • Excluding external temperature interference by placing a baffle or coat of high • emissivity materials on the surface of the target to make the result as accurate as possible. • Keeping appropriate distance to ensure the target occupies at least 10x10 pixels in the image.

Dahua Thermal Cameras for Perimeter Protection

• Considering energy transmission losses, especially in high temperature and humidity environments, the atmospheric transmission coefficient is obviously reduced.

Summary Conventional monitoring methods are not sufficient enough in dealing with all kinds of threats. Cutting-edge technologies are necessary to effectively prevent and respond to threats in the shortest time possible. Dahua thermal imaging devices, which will be on display at IFSEC International 2018 during June 19th -21th, provide the tools required for ensuring security in a number of applications. With a mission of “Enabling a safer society and smarter living”, Dahua will continue to focus on “Innovation, Quality, and Service” to serve partners and customers around the world.

hen a crisis occurs, how you communicate with guests and employees matters. Safety is important. If you are able to be proactive and have strong communication skills, you are going to save lives in the event of a disaster. While you can’t predict when a crisis will occur, you can plan out specific responses or action plans in the event of a specific type of crisis. When you respond with skill and collaboration, guests and employees will be safer. SMS is the fastest, most direct way to reach a large number of people quickly, and it can all be done from your phone. When you have the ability to text customers and employees, you can share all kinds of information during a difficult situation. With a 98% read rate, quickly notify your employees and guests during a crisis with SMS.

staff can easily send a text alert from their mobile phones to everyone on their distribution list. They don’t need to install any apps or even have internet access on their phones. In times when seconds matter, the flexibility this offers is crucial to ensuring guest safety.

Answer Employee or Customer Questions To keep everyone feeling safe, information is essential. As the crisis occurs and you have gathered information, share any pertinent information through SMS. In the event of a fire, for example, you can send out a text stating exactly where the fire is located and what the evacuation procedures are. If the fire has been put out, send out another text to let everyone know. You can respond to questions or concerns through SMS and use creativity to problem solve the crisis.

Share Safety Tips

Responses Can Occur Immediately When a crisis occurs, you can’t predict if your employees or customers are going to be sitting at a computer. With time management of the essence, it is vital to reach out on mobile devices. If you need to check on your employees or you want to make sure each guest at your facility is safe, a quick text message requesting a reply to check on safety can make a big difference. You will hear back from those who are safe and be able to send help to those who don’t respond. In critical situations, your staff may be on the move and won’t always have immediate access to their computers or a reliable internet connection. With a texting platform, your

In the event of a large disaster at your facility, you’ll need to do more than keep people informed about what is going on. If you have safety tips, share them through SMS marketing. For example, if there is a security risk in the building, you need to let everyone know of this risk through SMS. Tell people to shelter in place or share any escape routes that are deemed safe. Be clear about the risk, as being vague will only confuse those who receive the messages. Keep everyone up to date during the crisis.

Use Automation to Respond More Quickly in a Crisis Good planning can make a huge difference when a crisis occurs. Use project management strategies to set up a response protocol. You will be able to automate text messages based on the crisis that occurs. You can even send out a daily safety tip through an MMS picture message for those that prefer visual thinking. When there is a crisis: • A solid action plan is necessary.

• SMS gives you the ability to reach out in an instant. • Security risks are easier to manage. • Answer questions immediately and gather vital feedback. • Manage your response with creativity. • Use collaboration with emergency services to keep everyone safe. • Increase productivity by managing the crisis effectively. • Send infographics to maximize your response with visual thinking. Preparation makes managing a crisis easier. While you can’t predict when a crisis strikes, you can try to manage how you respond to the crisis. With a plan in place, you and your employees will know how to respond. SMS gives you a powerful communication tool so that you can reach out to others, check on safety, and gather information as the event unfolds. When you can share information and collect updates from those directly involved in the crisis, it will become easier to manage the entire situation and makes your organization more secure overall.

Is It Safe to Buy Used Safety Equipment?

aving good safety equipment in place is important for both your company as well as your employees. You are responsible for creating a safe working environment for your employees and protecting them from different work hazards by purchasing safety equipment that will protect them from any dangerous work situations. Unfortunately buying new equipment is quite expensive and you may find it hard to stick to your budget. So how can you maintain safety conditions at your workplace? One way to maintain safe conditions without paying so much is by buying used equipment that is still in good condition and capable of doing its job which will allow you to fit quality safety equipment into your budget.

3. Personal Protective Equipment It is usually mandatory for employers to provide personal protective equipment for theirr employees. Personal protective equipment which is acceptable and worth buying secondhand must be easy to sanitize and reuse without it suffering from structural damage. But some kinds of PPE always need to be bought brand new such as surgical masks and protective shoes along with other materials that are used in healthcare settings. Personal protective equipment that is worth buying second-hand is fall protection equipment, heavy-duty protective gloves, personal floatation devices, hard hats, respirators and safety glasses.

footprint but also helps you save money as the columns can be repurposed quite easily. Bollards and columns are designed to create an obstruction in between spaces where protection is required. This allows you to create a walkway for pedestrians that is safe from potential hazards as well as being versatile enough to be used to keep vehicles out of certain areas such as near the entrance or exit on-site. Buying used safety equipment online is a good idea as it is good on cost saving as well as quality so don’t delay and keep your employees and workplace hazard-free while staying within your budget.

4. Mobile Ladders Here are 5 types of used safety equipment that are worth buying:

1. Security Gates and Barriers Security gates and barriers still tend to work great even if they are bought secondhand as they are forged from strong metals like steel, they are designed to last assuming that they have not been used roughly as they are a simple and easy way to beef up security in your workplace. Investing in security gates and barriers still helps you save money even if you’re on a budget. Security gates and barriers are designed to keep both your employees and assets safe from outsiders who are kept out. Your company also stays protected against potential theft or burglary.

Mobile ladders are extremely durable and strong in construction that are capable of surviving several owners. Save your money instead of paying a high price for a new ladder, you can save on your investment by buying one second-hand. Here are the 3 different types of safety ladders: • Portable Access Ladders: These are very versatile and can be hidden in smaller spaces and keep your workspaces organized and uncluttered. • Rolling Ladders: These come in different sizes and can be used in bigger, flat warehouse and floor spaces. • Custom Ladder: Secondhand custom ladders can be a solution to your safety problems.

2. Guardrail Protection Guardrails increase the level of safety in your workplace and are reliable even when bought used. These rails keep your employees safe from hazardous falls when installed on high working places such as roofs.

CASE STUDY

High Definition Video Surveillance at its best with Hi-Focus

Jaipur International Airport Jaipur is the capital of the State of Rajasthan. The Jaipur International Airport has been declared as one of the best airports in the world and is also the 11th busiest one in India.

Project description and goals In a measure to revamp its current terminal operations, there was a need to replace the traditional cameras with an advanced scalable technology that would be inclusive of motion detectors, sensors, and even storage services. These would be deployed in support of the existing surveillance in the operations area and major airline offices within the premises. As part of the solutions, the new IP technology HD cameras with 2 MP resolutions will provide complete coverage of luggage rooms, safe rooms and file rooms to protect damage and theft. This will enable all the areas to be streamed and monitored continuously while recording important images and scenes with the help of motion sensors that can capture the slightest movement with utmost clarity. With minimal bandwidth usage and superior image quality, the cameras perform exceedingly well even under challenging variable light scenarios.

The Ultra H-265 technology Electronic products are successively upgrading themselves to provide better

technology and better results. Having pinnacled to provide 4K resolutions beginning from D1, video surveillance is now construed to be at least 25 times higher than its inception. At the outset, the Ultra H-265 tackled one of the biggest concerns of the video surveillance industry. It provided storage space and bandwidth. Conventionally, 24 hours and 7 days of monitoring would require 74GB of storage space, which is larger than even the hard disk of the PC. The U-Code harnesses the HVEC coding standard to provide a potent balance between storage, HD surveillance and bandwidth cost.

tendency to granulate video signals, even as they get displayed on the monitor. But with the DNR technology, this image noise is reduced when the comb filter is applied. Working in triple streams that is full resolution, low resolution, and flexible or dynamic resolution, the camera uses an intelligent video encoding that processes video data-on-demand (also known as Region of Internet or ROI). Embedded with smart VCA technology, the surveillance system comes with Two Way Audio capability that enables users to send and receive data simultaneously.

CASE STUDY

UNV Creating Better Highways with Greater Technology

o matter how big a city is, the basic goal of a government is to guarantee safety to its residents. Sometime in 2015, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) contacted us with a dilemma. They were eager to alleviate some complex issues that were caused by the outdated cameras, which were the result of a fairly old video surveillance system. One of the problems was that the car number plates would be totally unrecognizable at night. Knowing that the issue can be resolved only by premier providers, the NHAI decided to turn to UNV products for a solution. Today, 231 toll stations across India are safeguarded by UNV’s high quality products for more than 3 years. The National Highways are arterial roads of our country that enable streamlined movement of passengers and goods. In order to manage status of the vehicles and to capture important associated information it

is essential to create a modern surveillance system that is capable of handling such traffic. Since 2015, there have been more than 1300 UNV cameras and more than 200 NVRs installed in 231 toll stations all over India. In the past three years, UNV products have never failed. Till date they provide highquality HD images both during the day as well as the night. Each vehicle information is recorded and can be easily retrieved from the product database at any point in time. Apart from the above, UNV products have brought many benefits to NHAI. For instance, with a wide voltage range of ±25%, UNV cameras can work well even during voltage fluctuations. With the in-built ANR cache restore functionality, the camera can swiftly alter itself to save the video into a memory card even on an unstable network. Once the connectivity is restored, the video is automatically uploaded into the local storage

present in the toll station. After their experience an end-user from the NHAI had the following to say: “I believe in UNV products, because they are stable and professional. They can satisfy our requirement of producing highquality images both during day and night. Other than our toll stations, there are some airports and other high-end hotels that are using UNV products. Uniview is now a very popular brand in the security industry and is believed to be able to provide reliable, highquality products.”
