CEO CORNER SAFETY Training - The real need Manufacturers everywhere began to make changes by implementing awareness training, guidelines, and policies. Most importantly, they began to shift the way they thought about workplace safety. All of these efforts amounted to significant improvements. However, a hundred years later, those initial safety gains have now started to level off. Although workplace safety programs are contributing to far safer environments, most organizations still see the same old issues: back injuries, eye injuries, and slips, trips & falls. If you study OSHA statistics during the past decade, our efforts to curb injuries and fatalities are flat-lining, it seems. Why is that? Of all safety measures, training and continued awareness are the most difficult to make stick because they primarily rely on employees’ ability to learn, understand, and comprehend critical safety practices. They also require the employee to buy into the safety culture of an organization because the majority of workplace injuries are rooted in employees’ attitudes, behaviors, and culture, rather than dangerous and hazardous workplace conditions. One of the biggest challenges facing safety managers today is the fact that people often quickly forget what they’ve learned. It isn’t because training was necessarily poor; instead, cognitive learning theory suggests that people only absorb four to five pieces of information into short-term memory at any given time. Items stored in short-term memory can be quickly lost if not used or reinforced regularly after training has occurred. What does this mean? Employees tend to retain only a small percentage of what they learn in a single training session. As long as people are involved in manufacturing, there will be a need for safety training. Fortunately there are emerging developments that can improve the overall effectiveness of training delivery, helping employees retain more information and apply it effectively to their jobs. By combining the latest in brain science and technology advances, safety training is poised to take a major leap forward.

Dahua HDCVI 5.0 technology brings new insight into surveillance to your service Dahua Technology is proud to present the world with HDCVI 5.0, the latest instalment to a revolutionary series for the global surveillance industry initiated in 2012, which brings clarity, intelligence and security to an unprecedented level. For those who are not already familiar with the field, there’s no need to rush into jargons of technical details behind the acronym. Simply imagine a really good security guard you hire who happens to enjoy an exceptionally sharp eyesight unaffected by the darkness of night; who also happens to be able to recognize each and every face ever shows up with correct names attached; who also happens to be smart enough to identify potential threats approaching and brave enough to take spontaneously actions; who also happens to never get tired 24/7. It doesn’t take a miracle to have such a great security guard. Dahua HDCVI 5.0 Technology accomplishes all the aforementioned and more. Now let’s cut to the hard-core facts and numbers that confirm the various ground-breaking benefits brought to you by HDCIV 5.0, which consists of HDCVI Active Deterrence Camera, 4K/5MP/1080P Starlight HDCVI Camera, 1080P Full-colour HDCVI Camera and HDCVI 4K & H.265 AI XVR. When used combined, they will take care of your security problems in the following 5 aspects.

Perimeter Protection HDCVI 5.0 can detect potential risks based on configurable motion, tripwire and intrusion rules.

The system will send alarms to users when unwanted moves occur. Furthermore, the system boasts intelligent analyses that filter minor objects like animals, insects, leaves, light, raindrops etc., thus reducing false alarms and allowing users to focus on real threats that are people and vehicles.

Face Recognition HDCVI 5.0 is able to determine if there is a face in the monitoring video and crosscheck it with faces stored in database to see if it belongs to a suspect or distinguished guest according to users’ own black/white lists, and take corresponding actions that could either be an alarm or a free pass without manual check at entrance control. Fully guaranteeing accuracy and process efficiency, the system supports up to 24 pic/s face recognition and 20 databases with up to 100,000 face images in total.

Metadata Search Constituted with feature attribute information extracted from target faces, such as gender, age, glasses, masks, beard and expressions, metadata makes it possible to do smart search by compari-

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

son between the modeled object and database or matching with identity characteristics, which significantly enhances accuracy and efficiency. In addition, the metadata is also of great help to platforms that allow potential business applications realized by third parties.

Active Deterrence Enjoying PIR and motion dual-detect which improves accuracy and reduces storage space for motion detect based recording, HDCVI 5.0 can not only send real alarms to users in time but also warn off intruders with white light and siren on site. Thus, the system is a watchdog that not only watches but also barks. Moreover, together with the alarms sent to users in real-time are visual and audio verification with HDCVI videos, the most immediate evidence of what really happened.

Starlight & Full-color For HDCVI 5.0, darkness is no excuse. With starlight cameras ranging from 1080P to 4K and full-color, which are endowed with high performance sensor and larger aperture lens, the system is able to give high color reproduction and light sensitive performance resulting in more

vivid, brighter images, meeting the requirements in low-light monitoring environments, such as parking lots, urban streets, shops, etc. Full-color camera allows 24/7 color monitoring for collecting chromatic information such as colors of clothing or vehicle. Even in total darkness, the system still functions, thanks to light compensation with Smart IR (for common starlight cameras) or Smart White Light (for Full-color cameras). The images gathered, after being treated with advanced processing technology to reduce noises while retaining low smear and clear details, are useful materials for further intelligent analysis.

It should also be noted that HDCVI 5.0 keeps all born features of HD-over-Coax system including seamless upgrade and easyto-use. It further simplifies system deployment with practical features as smart H.265+ encoding and broadcast-quality audio. As a leading solution provider in the global video surveillance industry, Dahua Technology has always put great emphasis on “Innovation, Quality, and Service”, which naturally leads to the birth and ever evolving of HDCVI solutions. The latest HDCVI 5.0 is another milestone on the way to Dahua’s ultimate goal: Enabling a Safer Society and Smarter Living.

BUSINESS NEWS

Hikvision introduces the latest innovation in intruder alarm systems - the AXHub Hikvision, the world leading provider of innovative security products and solutions, has released news of the latest product range to hit its portfolio, the AXHub intruder alarm system. Part of the Hikvision AXSeries, the brand-new wireless system stylishly caters for any residential and small commercial applications by seamlessly connecting security and video on one-platform. “Hikvision is pioneering the one-platform revolution for security systems that enables HD video verification of events, remote control to arm and disarm the alarm, as well as the ability to switch between alarm system and video like never before,” said Mr. Jiang Feng Zhi, Head of Hikvision’s alarms division.

Video and intrusion system in one platform This advanced synergy of technologies is delivered in a small, compact and discreet panel that delivers multi-configuration methods, full control and setup via Hik-Connect smart device application and iVMS as well as video verification through revolutionary Intruder Verification as a Service (IVaaS). Integration is at the core of the AXHub, utilising Cloud technology to combine intrusion and video like never before. Where other video verification methods on the market are reliant on sending low-quality static imagery to confirm events, IVaaS links previously

separate video and intruder systems to one platform, providing a 7 second clip in the event of an alarm; 5 seconds pre-alarm, and 2 seconds post alarm. To achieve this, there are two options; via the cloud, or innovatively connecting up to two cameras directly to the AXHub for on-board video verification. This enables Hikvision’s video and intrusion systems to seamlessly deliver video footage directly to the user through Hik-Connect or iVMS, or directly to a Central Monitoring Station (CMS). By delivering video to users or a CMS via email, smart device and desktop applications, they can switch to Full-HD live streams to verify action can be take much faster and more reliably in the event of an activation. Hik-Connect compatibility also allows full control of the system from anywhere; enabling users to remotely arm, disarm and monitor, as well as check history and receive push notifications of any events. “When one manufacturer provides the components for each part of the system, we

don’t need to try and make things work together; we aren’t ‘integrating’ systems,” said Mr. Jiang. He further added, “The video and intruder systems are designed to work seamlessly with each other, and this is what we have achieved in the AXHub.” Compatible with any Hikvision video or intrusion device, this allows the ideal security solution to be fitted every time; covering every vantage point. Award-winning intrusion technologies The system supports up to 32 wireless inputs from a wide range that includes internal and external detectors, contacts, keyfobs, life safety sensors and much more. The extensive wireless range of intrusion devices feature award-winning, proven and

patented intrusion technologies, for complete confidence and peace of mind, with easy installation using signal strength indicators and one-push-to-learn. The AXHub also utilises 3EasyFit, a technique to speed up initial installation, and supports voice-guided setup for configuration and operation; making the entire installation process fast and efficient. The local voice prompts will also alert the user to any events on the system, while voice calls for alarms can be configured as well. The variety of communication pathways available with the AXHub is unmatched, offering LAN, Wi- Fi, GPRS and 3G/4G connections with on-board communication modules and connectors for a simpler and more cost-effective installation. While with multiport IP communications, the AXHub can also communicate simultaneously with multiple devices, to ensure alarm messages are sent to all that need them.

Midas Safety : The success journey through innovation

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

Q. Midas is today India’s leading Personal Protective Equipment Manufacturing enterprise and one of the leading hand protection manufacturing companies in the World. Tell us something about your awesome journey so far. We are one of the largest private label manufacturers of gloves in the world. Midas started its journey in 1977 to manufacturing

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

knitted gloves in Canada. Midas expanded and diversified into making cut & sewn gloves in Sri Lanka and later ventured into polymer dipping of gloves with PVC, Latex, Nitrile and PU over time. In the early 90s, Midas established its distribution division in Dubai focused on ‘Head to Toe’ personal protection and offering a one stop PPE solution to the customers. Midas serves customers in over 50 countries across the world.

Q. How is Midas positioning itself in the Indian Fire & Safety market? In India, we have diversified into cotton, high performance knitted and dotted gloves, masks and helmet production. For other safety products we have established relationships with reputed global suppliers who produce at international standards. Midas spares no efforts to be a one stop solution for Head to Toe PPE requirements

INTERFACE

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

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

to its customers. The Indian market is unique and at a nascent stage in PPE adoption. It has a mix of customers from - the well informed to the not so aware. Multinationals with manufacturing bases in India, are bringing in the best global practices in safety and demanding PPE of international standards in their own plants. They are also enforcing these standards on to their vendors.

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

can provide great solutions that address their risks with relevance. Awareness also comes from using and experiencing our safety brands. This is facilitated through product demos and display sessions at endusers, interactions during safety week and product trials etc. Our brand strategy is aligned to address the diverse requirements of the Indian market and every customer will find a safety solution, matching their needs.

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

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

Q. What are the Future Plans of Midas for Indian and the Global market? “Make in India” and “Make for India” … is the mantra. We have recently doubled our factory’s capacity at our Coimbatore plant and are fueling additional investments behind masks and helmets. Given the PPE potential, Midas is committed to significant manufacturing and R&D investments for India. NOVEMBER 2018 | INDUSTRIAL Special Issue SAFETY OSH INDIA REVIEW 2018

Q. What are your strategies to improve the Matrix position in Indian & global market as well?

Q. What are the key technological trends that are driving the security and communications product industry?

Differentiation is our core and overarching strategy. We work hard to create ample differentiation products architecture, functions, features and performance. In marketing and sales, we believe in strong distribution and channel networks. We have nearly 2,500+ channel partners spread across the world focused on promoting and supporting Matrix products not only in India but also in other countries including Europe, America, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. Our marketing team works closely with these channel partners to ensure Matrix products serve security and communication needs of the customers efficiently, faster and longer.

Video Surveillance is evolving from ageold analog, hardware centric products to software centric, IP and wireless solutions. Software applications are web based and they support mobile applications. Camera resolution is increasing and so is coding technology from H.264 to H.265. Mobility and Cloud are other two technology trends driving innovation. As bandwidth bottlenecks are being removed enterprise applications are moving to the Cloud eliminating customer-premise hardware, servers and software. Finally, new generation Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) algorithms on Deep Learning help automate many manual processes and create newer functions and applications.

Q. According to you what are the factors affecting to your business? Technology trends, ecosystem for R&D and manufacturing, economy and government policies are the four most important factors affecting Matrix business.

Q. What is your vision for Matrix? Our vision is to build Matrix into a world-class Security and Telecom solutions providing company operating all over the world.

Q. What are the issues you need to address that are related to your industry? Let us start with indigenous R&D. Indian

industry is dependent on external R&D and technologies. The industry and government should work together to correct this by promoting indigenous R&D. Second is lack of domestic manufacturing. While India is one of the largest markets in the world, there are not many manufacturers in India. India has become a virtual dumping ground for imported products. Once again, this situation is not sustainable and needs immediate correction. Third is lack of awareness. Today, security products are sold as boxes without customers knowing overall business impact and benefits. Many customers mistakenly equate products with solutions to their existing problems. I believe higher customer awareness and better responsibility on part of manufacturers and system integrators would improve customer satisfaction. Finally, I would add the common point of economic growth. Like all other industries, security and telecom equipment business is tightly linked to the overall economy.

Gallagher Security : Extending the horizon through technology innovation • Is the compliance and regulatory standards being met? Technology can be deployed to ensure these questions are answered and become an integral part of implementing best practise for safety and security whilst also delivering improved business efficiency and profitability.

Q. What trends will drive the security industry in the near future ?

Gautham N.V, Head India - Sales and Marketing Gallagher Security Private Limited

Q. What role can technology play in the security industry ? Security has traditionally been considered as the protection of assets via the use of perimeter security, access control, CCTV etc. Modern security is as much about people management as it is about asset protection. Creating a safe and secure work environment is becoming increasingly important, and increasingly challenging. The pace of modern business is such that the human element alone cannot keep up without the aid of technology. There are many factors to consider when providing a safe and secure workplace: • Are the staff suitably trained to carry out their tasks ? • Are the staff fit for work ? • Are visitors or contractors where they should be ? • Can personnel be quickly accounted for in an evacuation ? • Are dangerous zones clear of people ?

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

Cyber Security As security systems become more IP based they must keep up with the latest cyber security standards. Customers should challenge vendors with such questions as; • Can you provide a SHA-2 hash of the installation files to verify the software has not been corrupted or tampered with ? • Can the IP based hardware detect and resist a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack ? • Does the IP based hardware support IPV6? • What levels of encryption are deployed ? • What steps are undertaken to ensure the systems are resistant to cyber attacks (i.e. penetration testing from external organisations) ? Drones With the growing sophistication of drone technology, they are increasingly being deployed in security applications. For example; if the security management system detects suspicious activity on a section of the perimeter, the coordinates are passed to the drone which is immediately despatched to the area of concern to stream video back to the control room.

Blockchain Blockchain technology is a distributed database which is continuously shared and synchronised. It is always available to any of the participants in the network. A blockchain database isn’t stored in one place and is considered very secure. Blockchain has the potential to verify video content from sources like mobile phones, CCTV cameras etc, as well as the authenticity of devices connected to the network. Blockchain solutions, which are distributed across multiple nodes rather than a single server, can also ensure data stored in the cloud won’t be lost or tampered with. Adaptable Security Management Systems Security Management Systems should support industry standard protocols such as OPC, BACnet, XML, REST, SNMP to allow for easy integration as part of a larger connected system. Manufactures need to have APIs available to allow third parties to easily integrate with the SMS.

Q. What are your plans for coming years to stay ahead of competition ? Gallagher spends significant time in market talking to customers to gain a thorough understanding of their business problems. Being the manufacturer allows us to be agile and innovative and create customised solutions to suit our customers’ needs.

Limping through reactive security 1) DIY Gadgets – Many home security solutions today, from alarm systems to CCTV cameras, can be easily installed and do not require technicians. The cameras come with a built-in mic and speaker system and hence, the user doesn’t have to go through the entire process of setting up a voice recorder separately. These gadgets come with simple ‘plug & play’ installation module.

Mehernosh Pithawalla, Vice-President and Global Head - Marketing, Sales and Innovation, Godrej Security Solutions

ne of the biggest impediments to the adoption of security solutions in India has been a reactive attitude towards adopting solutions to safeguard one’s valuables, assets and loved ones. Society is getting more techrich and empowered, and yet we remain as vulnerable to crime as before. According to NCRB data, in India, everyday 312 burglary, 99 robbery and 1281 theft cases are recorded. These are only figures which get registered at the police stations. Despite alarming statistics, we continue to be one of the few countries with an abysmal rate of adoption of security solutions. Only 3% of the population has adopted home safes as a measure to protect their valuables. Another study of consumers showed that 75% still do not own home security systems. When asked what would motivate them to invest in an excellent security system, 46 percent cited a crime in the neighborhood as the trigger. This highlights the reactive mindset of Indian consumers who do not believe in making investments

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

in new technologies unless they see the drawbacks of not investing in such technologies. One of the reasons why we do not invest in security solutions is the belief in Karma. People believe that nothing wrong can happen to them if their karma is good. However, the millennials have another reason for not being proactive adopters of security solutions: Hassles of installation. Installation of security solutions is always perceived to be extremely cumbersome and it requires a lot of wiring and external support.

2) Remote Accessibility and interoperability – You can use the product specific apps of Godrej Security Solutions to connect your home security devices and watch over your valuables and loved ones right from your smartphone! Wireless home alarm systems from the house of Godrej have remote monitoring and access facility – one can arm or disarm the alarm system by just using the phone. There are high tech safes like Matrix which alert one through SMS in case of an intrusion. 3) Biometric & Card Swipe features – Curated specifically for the comfort of the user, many of Godrej’s electronic safes come with advanced features. Biometric Safes can be accessed only with fingerprints, thus offering additional safety to valuables. while Safes with Swipe features can be accessed by swiping of personal Debit Card/Credit Cards. In case you don’t remember numbers, this is the perfect solution to all your worries in order to keep your valuables secure.

It’s Time for Proactive Security However, the ever-evolving security space has been doling out new innovations every day, making the installation and operation of smart security solutions extremely easy and user-friendly. Listed below are some ways in which modern, smart security solutions can help facilitate the shift of the current reactive approach to a more proactive approach when it comes to adoption of security systems. To elucidate this further, individuals can look for:

4) Affordability – Security solutions for homes are now extremely affordable. With security cameras starting at just Rs. 4999/-, making your home a safer place is easier than ever.

Q. What are the challenges that you are currently facing in India? The main challenges are, unorganized sector floods the market with poor quality products that are priced very low. With India being a price-sensitive market, it becomes very difficult for players from the organized sector to compete with cheap sub-standard products. The challenges include people’s lack of readiness to trust newer technology, where in most cases they are concerned about the prices.

Q. What kind of plans and expectations do you have for this segment this year? To avoid competing solely on price, we have decided to focus on enterprise projects where clients are willing to spend more on advanced technology and a brand they recognize and associate with quality. Tailoring their solutions for particular verticals is an important part of this targeted approach to winning business.

• Scalability to handle a rising volume of large files, expanding teams, and a growing number of render servers • Shared access to content for supporting collaborative workflows • Cost containment that balances performance and cost, and minimizes administrative complexity

Visual Effects (VFX) VFX ARTISTS ARE CREATING MORE SHOTS, DATA SETS ARE GROWING From action-adventure games and science fiction feature films to TV commercials and YouTube videos, VFX can play a critical role in enhancing excitement and adding a heightened sense of realism to scenes. With today’s advanced software applications plus powerful workstations and servers, VFX artists are meticulously creating vivid landscapes; depicting intricate behaviors; and generating extremely realistic depictions of water, hair, clothes, and other complex materials. Eager to take advantage of new technologies, directors are adding more and more VFX to films. They are moving from tens or hundreds of VFX shots per film to thousands. VFX artists are producing those shots at higher resolutions for integration with high-resolution films and shows. Of course, as VFX artists are creating more shots, data sets are growing. A VFX-heavy film today can easily consume more than petabyte of data. Organizations need highly scalable storage solutions that handle the tremendous capacity required for each project. Performance is also key. Teams need random I/O performance to support VFX processes with large, high-resolution files. Later in the production cycle, teams need exceptional sequential I/O performance for high-speed playout. Throughout production, VFX teams need storage solutions that can provide shared access to content. Organizations need to facilitate collaboration across editing, CGI, and rendering operations without delays that can slow productivity. And while producers and studios are often willing to invest heavily in VFX, organizations must keep costs under control. They need to make sure they are balancing performance and cost across storage tiers. In addition, they

ANIMATION DEMAND FOR ANIMATION IS RISING, PRODUCING NEW CGI animation has become a multi-billion-dollar industry that has produced more than 250 computer-animated films since Toy Story. The release of Pixar’s Toy Story in 1995— the first fully computer-animated movie— ushered in a new era in animation and movie-making. At the same time, studios and production teams continue to incorporate CGI animation into more projects to supplement other VFX shots. Today, CGI animation is often a key element in VFX workflows. Just like VFX, the enormous demand for animated content has produced technical challenges for creative studios. First, these organizations must be able to provide artists and teams with access to powerful computer resources to complete the full range of production tasks,

including modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, animating, and compositing. In addition, studios must also enable access to scalable storage resources. Producing fully animated or partially animated films in high resolution can yield up to a petabyte or more of data. Storage solutions must have the scalability for rapidly rising capacity needs. In addition, storage solutions must have the scalable connectivity and bandwidth to support growing render farms. Robust performance is crucial. For the creation of animated characters and effects, animation studios need storage systems with strong random I/O performance to support animation workflows for numerous simultaneous users. These studios often employ scores of animators who need fast access to shared data. In addition, studios need distinct storage systems with high sequential I/O performance for high-resolution playout. If they can implement storage solutions that deliver both kinds of performance, they can speed the movement of content and avoid network congestion.

experiences, capitalizing on the creative potential for VR will require changes to their storage infrastructure. Advanced VR camera systems require high-performance storage that can ingest large amounts of content from numerous cameras. Facebook Surround 360, for example, uses 17 cameras, which capture 2GB/s. The EYE camera from 360 Designs uses 42 Blackmagic Micro Cinema cameras, which yield 2.7GB/s. And uncompressed 5K stereoscopic systems can capture 7GB/s. Systems must also provide the performance to enable stitching of multiple camera streams. For post-production, VR firms need systems that can play the final, enormous stitched image—which is often 4K, 6K, or 8K video at high frame rates. Organizations also need storage solutions that can provide the scalability to support exponential data growth. Some VR projects can produce even more data than VFX or animation projects. Each VR project might require storage for hundreds of terabytes of large, high-resolution files. To support collaborative workflows, storage solutions for VR must provide shared access to content across edit and render operations. VR production teams often need to support more Fibre Channel clients than with animation and VFX workflows. VR firms often have multiple suites editing and compositing the same project simultaneously. At the same time, VR production teams must share

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

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

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

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

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

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

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

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

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

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 & 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.

After all, it is a matter of personal safety. Choosing a reliable and high-quality, fingerprint keypad door lock will be optimum for you and your loved ones.

10 SMART LOCK FEATURES TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING

Cost-Effective In The Long Run Although it can prove to be quite expensive in terms of initial investment, this digital door lock is extremely effective in the long run. The best fingerprint door locks have sturdy, weather-resistant external units, and the best ones have salient features such as alarm system and remote access.

A smart lock is an electronic and mechanical locking device that opens wirelessly with an authorized userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authentication. Smart locks provide access to homeowners without a traditional key and use smartphones or other methods to wirelessly verify and automatically unlock doors. Nowadays, a smart fingerprint lock can be easily used to gain entry into your home without the hassle of fumbling for keys with arms full of grocery. While mortise locks provide utmost security and convenience, a push pull lock combines various forms of access for you to pick and choose from. Choosing from a plethora of smart locks can be a cumbersome task, so it is ideal to be well versed with the nuances and the must-have features of a smart lock.

TECH UPDATE

Types of Smart Locks Smart locks can be divided into two distinct categories — those that totally replace your current in-door bolt lock, and retrofit locks that are installed upon the thumb-turn cylinder, leaving the existing key lock untouched. While replacement smart locks provide varied entry options, retrofit smart locks offer simpler installation and usage solutions. In order to be considered a good smart lock, it should offer certain basic features. To help you arrive at an informed decision regarding the best smart lock for your home, here are 10 features you must consider before buying: 1.Battery Most smart locks nowadays operate either on multiple AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable lithium-ion cell ones. In both cases, an alert on your app will pop up when your battery gets low, and often, the indoor housing unit will include an LED that will flash red when batteries need to be replaced. Battery life is also rated by some companies in terms of the number of physical locks and unlocks (cycles), and power lasts anywhere from three months to a year, depending upon lock type and function. 2.Automatic Lock/Unlock Most Bluetooth-enabled locks provide keyless/code-less entry. Smart locks, especially retro locks, allow you to auto-unlock your door when you have your smartphone in person and you are within a user-prescribed distance (30 feet). Smart locks with keypads usually do not include proximity auto-unlock features for security reasons.

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

3. Alternative Entry Options Often-unpredictable Bluetooth or Wi-Fi options cannot always be reliable. Apart from wireless unlocking techniques, more realistically-designed smart locks offer alternative entry options, such as PIN codes or physical keys. A limited number of smart lock brands give you a key fob to wirelessly unlock doors when you do not have your smartphone with you.

high-quality approved locks are Grade 2.

4. Weatherproof Rating Complete replacement smart locks indicate their temperature-withstanding levels, along with an IP water/dust-proof rating. All locks can not resist adverse weather conditions over the years, thus it is ideal to buy from manufacturers who use sturdy material with a solid weatherproof rating.

8. Smart Home Compatibility Most smart locks have an easy integration process for existing smart home environments, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Z-Wave, Samsung SmartThings and the like. Locking routines can be seamlessly integrated along with lights, temperature control etc. Keep in mind that this is not a necessity, but an added advantage.

7. Wireless Security With the rise of network security hackers, looking into foolproof wireless security is a must. A little research on deployed security methods can help you finalize your purchase. Devices that can be considered the most ‘hack-proof’ are ones that are keypad-enabled, with no reliance on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

9. Voice Control Again, an increasing number of locks with smart device compatibility provide Alexa, Google, or Siri voice control, usually for locking doors when you are inside. Recently, Amazon has approved an ‘unlock voice control protocol’ that requires the user to provide a spoken PIN code after an unlock voice command.

5. Guest Keys Retrofit models allow you to assign ‘keys’ to visitors you approve of - friends, family members etc. You text or email a code via the smart lock app that grants your visitors the ability to enter for a stipulated amount and number of times. Replacement smart locks with keypads allow you to simply assign temporary PIN codes for single use, or a specific amount of time. 6. Lock Quality Rating Not all physical door locks are the same. Choose amid three lock quality designations - Grade 1: the strongest, reserved for commercial uses, Grade 2: the most common residential locks, and Grade 3: a secondary lock to supplement a Grade 1 or 2 lock. Most

Cut Resistance: Choosing the Right Glove

hen choosing a glove for cut resistance, the first instinct might be to go big – thicker yarns and heavier materials to keep workers’ hands protected. But not all workplaces are created equal, and in some, bulkier protection is a danger, as workers lose out on fine motor control and may be tempted to remove their gloves. However, studies have shown that not wearing gloves is the leading cause of workplace hand injuries. That’s why we’ve developed our Ninja® Maxim Cut 3 and Cut 5 gloves – lightweight and dexterous, with firm grips in slippery conditions. They let you do the fine work you need to do, while letting you forget you’re wearing gloves, without ever being unprotected.

Higher Cut Doesn’t Equal Better A mistake that is commonly made is simply choosing the highest cut level. Cut gloves are made from synthetic fibers that are wrapped around strands of glass or steel. The higher the cut resistance of a glove, the more of these fibers that need to be combined, which makes the glove bulky and heavy. Such gloves are great for high risk tasks like handling steel cables and sheet metal,

Standards & Certifications Matter Familiarize yourself with the CE and ANSI standards, which will help ensure that you can make the right selection for your needs.

Leather Gloves Don’t offer Cut Protection

however, since dexterity is compromised, they aren’t meant for applications where tactile sensitivity is required as well. Assess your needs and the level of protection you require before choosing a cut resistant glove. A glove with lower cut resistance will also provide you moderate protection from cuts and lacerations but at a lower cost.

No Glove is Cut Proof No glove will protect you against moving blades. Cut resistant gloves are only meant to protect your hands from incidental contact with cut risks while doing your job. No matter how high the cut resistance, no glove is cut proof!

Despite its thickness, leather is just skin and can be cut as easily as human skin, especially when it is wet or covered with oil. Leather once ruled the work-glove world, which is why many still think of it as a good choice today. But when it comes to cuts and lacerations, leather offers practically no protection for workers.

Your Protection is our Priority We at Ninja® keep it real when it comes to our compliances and this is where we differ from other brands. We do not believe in overstating our cut scores, and the protection of the end user is our primary goal. No compromises, what you see is what you get!

Handling Chlorine Safely “Inhalation of chlorine gas can cause respiratory tract irritation and severe exposure can cause bronchitis, fluid in the lungs and even death.” - R. R. NAIR 1.0 INTRODUCTION: Chlorine is a chemical used in industry & household cleaning products. It has a yellow– green colour, and a pungent, irritating odour. Usually, it is pressurised and cooled for storage & shipment as an amber coloured liquid. Chlorine is combined with other substance & its most common compound is Sodium Chloride – ordinary table salt. It is usually manufactured by electrolyte dissociation of either brine from Sodium Chloride or molten salt. Chlorine is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals in the world today, and about 13 million tons produced annually in the United States alone. Chlorine has been involved in hundreds of accidents of workers and people in towns and villages and killing some. According to the U.S. Federal databases, it is second only to Carbon Monoxide, when it comes to the percentage of accidents that cause injuries. Because of its widespread use in industrial and commercial locations, exposure to chlorine could occur from an accidental spill or release, or from a deliberate terrorist attack. The chlorine is a hazardous chemical. The most harmful route of exposure is from breathing chlorine gas. Handling of chlorine requires close attention to safety precautions. This article will focus on safe practices in handling both liquid and gaseous form of chlorine. For the preparation of this article, many documents such as, articles, books, codes, rules, standards and case studies of eminent researchers are referred, however, due to limitation of space, only selected references are included in the article.

• Many reactions may cause fire and explosion. • Risk of fire and explosion on contact with combustible materials. • Chlorine gas is heavier than air and will initially remain in the low lying areas unless wind or other conditions provide air movement. CAS

Exposure of chlorine can occur through (1) Inhalation (2) Skin Contact (3) Eye Contact and (4) Ingestion. When chlorine gas enters the body as a result of breathing, or swallowing, or eye and skin contact, it reacts with water to produce acids. The acids are corrosive and damage cells in the body on contact. The health effects typically begin within seconds to minutes. The severity of health effects depend upon the route of exposure. Most harmful chlorine exposures are the result of inhalation.

It is used in the manufacture of bleaching powder and chemicals such as Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Ethylene Glycol, Glycerine and Tetramethyllead. Chlorine has broad applications as bleaching agents in textile and paper industries. It is an intermediate in the production of many products such as plastics, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, synthetic rubbers and refrigerants.

Chlorine has a variety of uses. During World War 1, chlorine was used for chemical warfare as a chocking agent. It is used extensively to purify water supplies and to treat domestic and industrial wastes.

4.1 Inhalation: Breathing high levels of chlorine causes fluid build-up in the lung, a condition known as pulmonary oedema. The development of this condition may be delayed for several hours after exposure to chlorine. Inhalation of chlorine gas causes severe nose, throat and upper respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of 0.2 ppm of chlorine may result in itchy nose. Dry throat, coughing and difficulty in breathing may result after inhalation of 1 ppm of chlorine. Shortness of breath and headache may result when the concentration of chlorine above 1.3 ppm. Intense choking, chest pain and vomiting may result when the exposure to a concentration of 30 ppm of chlorine. Severe exposure causes bronchitis, fluid in the lungs and death may occur when the concentration of chlorine above 1000 ppm.

4.2 Skin Contact: Chlorine is a severe skin irritant. High concentration of chlorine gas may cause burning, reddening and blisters of skin. Liquid chlorine causes burns and possibly frostbite. 4.3 Eye Contact: Chlorine is a severe eye irritant. Chlorine gas causes stinging and burning sensation with tearing. Chlorine liquid cause burns, and permanent damage to eyes, possibly blindness. 4.4 Ingestion: Liquid chlorine may cause pain, burning, thirst, abdominal cramps and nausea.

5.0 TREATMENT: Laboratory testing to chlorine exposure will not be useful in making treatment decisions. A person exposed to harmful amounts of chlorine will notice it immediately because of the unpleasant odour and the resulting skin, eye, nose and/or throat irritation. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of chlorine poisoning will primarily be used upon patient’s history and their health effects. It may be noted here that there is no antidote to chlorine poisoning, but chlorine’s effects are treatable, and most victims recover. People who experience serious health effects may need hospital care.

6.0 FIRST–AID: Each person handling chlorine should know what to do in an emergency and should be trained in the first–aid. It may be reminded here that your own safety should be given priority before attending any rescue operations. When exposed to chlorine follow the following procedures:

• • • •

administer oxygen. Keep the victim warm and quiet. Wrap the victim in a blanket and apply warm water bottles if necessary. Do not allow the victim to move. Call a physician as soon as possible.

6.2 Skin Contact: In case of skin contact of chlorine follow: • Remove contaminated clothing of victim and flush affected areas with plenty of water. • Do not attempt to neutralize the chlorine with chemicals. • Call a physician as soon as possible. 6.3 Eye Contact: In case of eye contact of chlorine follow: • Eyes of the victim should be flushed immediately with copious amount of running water for at least 15 mins. • Call a physician, preferably and eye specialist, at once. • If a physician is not immediately available, the eye irrigations should be continued. 6.4 Ingestion: In case of ingestion of chlorine follow: • Never give anything by mouth if the victim is losing consciousness or is unconscious or convulsing. • Rinse the mouth of the victim thoroughly with water. • If vomiting occurs, rinse mouth and repeat administering of water. • If breathing has stopped, begin artificial respiration. • Avoid mouth to mouth contact. • Call a physician as soon as possible.

7.0 FIRE & EXPLOSION: 6.1 Inhalation: In case of inhalation of chlorine vapour follow: • Remove the victim from the contaminated area at once. • Loosen all clothing around the neck. • If breathing has stopped or laboured breathing, start artificial respiration immediately and continue without interruption until the victim is breathing normally. • If oxygen inhalation apparatus is available,

Chlorine vapour is non-flammable, non-explosive and non-conductor of electricity. However, it is a powerful oxidising agent and at room temperature reacts directly with many oxidizable elements and compounds. Chlorine can support combustion and in turn leads to a serious fire risk. Welding, cutting, or other hot work should not be started until the system has first been purged with steam and hot air dried. In case of fire, remove containers from

the fire zone immediately. Disconnect tank cars or tank trucks and pull them out of the danger area. If chlorine containers cannot be removed away and if no chlorine is escaping, apply water to keep containers cool. In case of fire, extinguish fires with dry chemical and carbon dioxide. Generally fire fighters create water curtains in the area to dilute the gas cloud that was spreading due to the leakage. Chlorine gas is heavier than air and will initially remain in the low lying areas unless wind or other conditions provide air movement. As the chlorine gas will accumulate in low lying areas, at most care should be taken.

8.0 PRECAUTIONS: As the chlorine is a hazardous chemical lot of precautions have to be taken for its storage, transportation and handling. 8.1 Storage: Chlorine cylinders and ton containers should be stored in cool, dry, well ventilated, isolated areas protected from weather and extreme temperature changes. Chlorine cylinders normally hold 45 Kgs, 47 Kgs, 25Kgs, or 67.5 Kgs. Ton container is a welded tank having a loaded weight as much as 1665 Kgs which hold about 900 Kgs of chlorine. A single unit tank car hold 16.3, 30.6 and 52.2 tons of chlorine. Store chlorine in labelled steel pressure cylinders. Cylinder should be stored upright and secure them so that they can’t fall. Ton containers should be stored on their sides on rails, a few inches above the floor. Keep enough room between containers so that all are accessible in case of emergency. Keep valve outlet caps and valve protection hoods in place. Do not store full and empty containers together and keep inventories of both. Chlorine should be used on First-In, FirstOut (FIFO) basis because valve packings can harden during prolonged storage and cause leaks, when containers are finally used. Make sure that no escaping chlorine can enter a general ventilating system. Also make sure that area are arranged, so that escaping gas will not accumulate in low areas. Store chlorine in area where there will be no contact with any material that react with it.

8.2 Transportation: Chlorine is transported as a liquid under pressure in steel containers confirming DOT specifications or a specification fixed by a country. Incidentally, specifications of Department of Transport (DOT) of USA is accepted universally. Chlorine is normally transported in cylinders and Ton containers. Large quantity of chlorine is transported in tank trucks, tank cars and tank barges. A tank truck hold approximately 6 tons of chlorine. A single unit tank car normally hold 16.3, 30.6 and 56.11 tons of chlorine. A multi tank barge hold upto 1100 tons of chlorine. Cylinder and ton containers are both equipped with fusible metal plugs for releasing pressure and preventing rupture of the tank in case of exposure to high temperature. Tank trucks have safety valve set at 225 psig. Tank cars have safety valve designed to start discharging at 75 percent of tank test pressure ranging 225 psig to 375 psig. Safety valves on barge tanks are set at 300 psig. In addition, the valves must be vapour tight below 80 percent of the design pressure. Liquid eduction pipes in tank cars and tank trucks have rising ball, excess flow valves designed to shut of chlorine flow if the rate exceeds about 3150 Kg/hour. Similar valves on barge tanks should close if flow exceed about 6750 Kg/hour. All containers should be labelled according to the recommendations of statutory authorities. TREMcard and MSDS should be available with the truck/tanker driver. The driver should be properly trained to handle the minor leak from the valves or gland nuts. He should be advised to take his vehicle to an isolated place away from crowd when chlorine leak is observed. 8.3 Handling: Although the chlorine is not a serious industrial hazard, proper handling procedures should be adopted while handling chlorine gas. There must be proper safety instructions, supervision and use of safety equipment is essential. Workers should be thoroughly informed of the hazards that can result from improper handling. Cylinders should be transported in the work area on a properly balanced hand truck

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

having a clamp or support at least two-thirds of the way up the cylinder. When it is necessary to raise a cylinder, use a crane or hoist equipment with a cradle or carrier. Never use a chain, rope sling or a magnetic device. Never lift a cylinder by its valve – protection hood. It may be reminded here that the cylinders will discharge vapour, when they are upright and liquid when they are inverted. Ton containers should be handled with a suitable lift clamp by means of a hoist or a crane with at least a two ton capacity. A dolly can be used for moving the container horizontally. Ton containers should be discharged while in horizontal position with two valves in a vertical line. The top valve discharges vapour and the bottom valve discharges liquid chlorine. It may be noted here that the valves on both cylinders and ton containers are designed to deliver full volume after one complete counter clockwise turn. They may be damaged, if turned beyond this point. Do not use a wrench longer that 15 cm to open or close these valves. Never apply heat to containers to increase the discharge rate. If the gas discharge from a single container is insufficient, two or more containers can be manifolded or liquid can be withdrawn and vapourised. Manifolding is not recommended while discharging the liquid chlorine. However, if it is necessary to discharge through a manifold, special precautions are to be adopted. Tank cars and tank trucks being emptied should be well chocked and should have their handbrakes set. Warning labels and signs must be displayed in the work area. To connect a tank car or tank truck to plant piping, use a flexible loop or annealed copper tubing. Tubing should be tested at 300 psig (2060 kPa) at six month intervals. Ends of tubing and plant piping should be kept plugged when not in use. Usually there are four discharge valves clustered about a central safety valve in the dome of both chlorine tank cars and tank trucks. The two valves along the centre line of the tank deliver liquid chlorine. The two valves at right angles to the tank are connected to the vapour space. If pressure must be used to unload a tank car or tank truck, use dry air, free of organic vapours. This process should be carried

through a pressure regulator to keep pressure under 125 psig. Air should be supplied by a compressor used only for this purpose. Place a pressure reducing valve, and oil trap and coder, a directional flow check valve and an air drier in the supply line to the tank. Nitrogen cylinder can be used, if air must be kept out of the process. Extra heavy seamless steel pipe connected with drop forged steel fittings and flange unions should be used for chlorine lines. Design the system so that liquid chlorine will not be trapped between valves. Liquid lines should be filled with expansion chambers, capable of holding 20 percent of the volume of the line between the valves. Vapour lines may require reducing valves to prevent condensation.

9.0 CHLORINE LEAKS: Chlorine leaks have been reported worldwide. Some of the selected chlorine leaks occurred in various countries are listed below: • In 1944, a chlorine leak occurred in New York, USA, while transporting the chemical through lorry, which affected 418 persons. • In 1979, a train carrying chlorine gas was leaked in Mississauga, Canada, which affected 8 persons. However, the incident forced to evacuate 2,50,000 people. • In 1981, chlorine was leaked in a factory at San Juan, Puerto Rico, which affected 200 persons. • In 1981, chlorine was leaked in a factory at Montana, Mexico, which affected 1000 persons and out which 29 died. • In 1993, chlorine was leaked while purifying water at Vanadisbadet, Stockholm, Sweden which affected 13 persons. • In 1997, chlorine gas was leaked during transportation at Lahore, Pakistan, which resulted in the death of 32 and injuries to 900. About 1000 persons were evacuated from the site. • In 1998, chlorine gas was leaked from a chemical plant at Gavle, Sweden, which affected 60 persons. • In 2005, a train carrying chlorine cylinders were derailed at Graniteville, South Carolina, USA, which resulted in the death of 9. Over 250 people were treated for toxic chlorine exposure. About, 5,400 residents within 1.6 km of the crash site were forced

TECH UPDATE

to evacuate. • In 2016, liquid chlorine leaked from a 1-tonne cylinder at chemical industries’ storage facility at Jalan Samulun in Singapore, where 7 persons were injured. • In 2018, chlorine gas was leaked at a factory of Hanwha Chemical in the south eastern port city of Ulsan, South Korea. Thirteen workers were injured. Any leak in chlorine lines, equipment or containers must be given prompt attention because it will grow worse. When a leak develops, clear the contaminated area of personnel and keep them upwind on higher ground than the leak. In the event of chlorine leak, only specially trained and equipped workers should be permitted in the area until the danger is completely eliminated. Good safety practices requires a check for leaks daily. A rag dripped in ammonia water and tied to a stick or an atomiser fitted with ammonia water will help locate a leak, where white smoke (Ammonium Chloride) will form. It would be advised to keep a supply of strong ammonia water (about 28 % NH3) ready for use. A valve leak on a cylinder or ton container can usually be stopped by tightening the packing unit. Be careful, use only appropriate wrench for tightening the nut. In case of the wall of cylinder or ton container leak, turn the unit so that vapour – not liquid – escapes. If a leak develops in a line, try to close valves on both sides of it as well as the valve at the source. It may be noted here that now Emergency Chlorine Kits are readily available for handling leaks in cylinder, containers, tank cars and tank trucks. These kits should be on hand at all the times and kept in good shape. Do not use water on a leak to reduce the flow, it will only increase it. If it is impossible to shut off leak or move the container to a safe place, neutralise the chlorine in an alkaline solution. Never immerse the container, but pass the chlorine into the solution through an iron pipe or weighted rubber hose. Chlorine can be absorbed in solutions of caustic soda or soda ash or in an agitated slurry of hydrated lime. It would be better to have a suitable tank so that caustic solutions can be prepared, if necessary.

OSH INDIA 2018 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY Special REVIEW Issue | NOVEMBER 2018

Chlorine users – particularly large volume users – should prepare emergency control plans and conduct periodic drills to make sure they are effective. Employees should be trained to use Emergency Chlorine Kits.

10.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: It may be reminded here that the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) does not reduce or eliminate the hazard. However, when it is not feasible to render the working environment completely safe, it may be necessary to protect the worker from the environment. When it is not possible to enclose or isolate the process or equipment, or use other control measures, where there are short exposure to hazardous concentrations of vapour, or where unavoidable spills may occur, PPE should be used. In the event of a chlorine leak, if a worker must enter a heavily contaminated area, he must wear adequate protective equipment, suitable for chlorine hazards. Worker should be provided with full face masks and is supplied with positive air pressure throughout the breathing cycle or by a SelfContained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). If tank entry is necessary, the worker should also be equipped with a rescue harness with attached lifeline, which is tendered by a similarly equipped worker outside. Be careful, no one should enter a tank until it is tested to determine the hazard and a tank entry permit is secured from an authorised person. Employees who must work in contaminated areas should also be equipped with impervious clothing and either hose masks or SCBA.

11.0 INDIAN SCENARIO: According to the Alkali Manufacturers Association of India (AMAI), the production of chlorine during the year 2017-18 was 28.72 Lakh MT. As per AMAI, the main consumption sectors of chlorine for the year 2017-18 was for the production of Hydro Chloric Acid (20.22%), Chlorinated Paraffin Wax (18.18%), Organics (14.95%), Chloromethanes (11.79%) and Inorganics (8.65%). AMAI claims that nearly 51% of the chlorine produced in India is transported as liquid chlorine to different parts of India by road in

900 Kgs capacity chlorine ton containers. 11.1 Chlorine Leak Cases: In India, all the accident reports do not come out in public domain due to various reasons. However, few cases of chlorine leaks reported in India are given below: • On 01-07-1980, in Konnerikuppam, Tamil Nadu, a truck carrying six chlorine tonners, carboys of glacial acetic acid capsized due to bursting of tyres which resulted in the death of 14 persons and injuries to 3. • On 23-05-2008, the people of Jamshedpur was exposed to a dense pale green, pungent and poisonous chlorine gas, which resulted in hospitalisation of 150-200 people. The gas was leaked from an unused cylinder lying in the Tata Motor’s water treatment plant for the past 10 years. • On 14-07-2010, a chlorine leak incident was reported at Haji Bunder Hazardous Cargo Warehouse of the Mumbai Port Trust in Sewri, which affected 120 people in the neighbourhood including students, labourers, port workers and fire fighters and 70 of them were reported critical. Out of 105 cylinders that have been found, 100 were clean, but 5 of them had residual chlorine that leaked out. • On 06-09-2010 a chlorine gas leak was reported in Rajkot which affected about 100 persons. The incident took place when a truck carrying nearly 20 chlorine cylinders overturned and the truck came down from the road after driver lost control of the wheel and gas started leaking from one of the cylinder. • On 14-04-2017, 19 people were hospitalised following the leakage of chlorine gas in a village on the outskirts of Por village located on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway. The incident took place due to leakage of chlorine, when the process of chlorination in a drinking water tank was underway. • On 18-08-2017, 24 persons were hospitalised after a chlorine gas leak at a water purification plant in Dehradoon, Uttarkand. • On 29-11-2017, in an Odisha Hospital 46 fell sick after chlorine gas leak. 11.2 Statutory Regulations: The rules & regulations dealing with chlorine

has been scattered in various Acts & Rules enacted by India and the important ones are: • The Factories Act, 1948 as amended on 1976 & 1987. • The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. • The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991. • The Hazardous Waste Management and Handling Rules, 1989. • The Manufacture Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 and amendments 1994 & 2000. • The Gas Cylinder Rules, 2004. • The Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) Rules, 1989. The Factories Act, lists 117 chemicals and prescribes permissible limits of their exposure in hazardous process units and chlorine is included in the list. The MSIHC Rules, lists 684 hazardous chemicals and chlorine is included in the list. In the CMV Rules, chlorine is listed in the list of hazardous and toxic chemicals.

12.0 CONCLUSION: Chlorine is a hazardous chemical. Chlorine does not catch fire easily, but may combine with other common substances to form explosive compounds. Chlorine is extremely reactive. It reacts violently with many combustible materials and other chemicals including water. It reacts vigorously with hydrocarbons, some finely powdered metals, and nitrogen compounds. It is corrosive to most metals in the presence of water. Chlorine leaks have been reported world-wide. India too accounts for a number of leaks. Inhalation of chlorine gas can cause respiratory tract irritation and severe exposure can cause bronchitis, fluid in the lungs and even death. Never neglect safety rules. Strictly observe safety conditions regarding handling of chlorine.
