CEO CORNER INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS - Minimising the loss When most people think of workplace accidents, they often automatically associate them with highrisk industries, such as construction or manufacturing. The truth is: injuries can occur in any place of employment. Professionals in the construction industry take their Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training and safety procedures seriously precisely because there is a higher risk of serious injury if protocols aren’t followed. While there are specific safety requirements for individual industries, which employers need to meet, there are often human errors that fall through the cracks simply because they’re overlooked. Workers and employers rush to complete deadlines and may not pay as close attention as they should. In other cases, there may be hazards that an employer or managers aren’t aware of in their workplace. Put safety at the forefront. Follow this list of concrete tips on how to prevent injuries from happening in the first place. Most people don’t think of cleanliness as a deterrent to accidents but workplace order actually does diminish the chance of injury. A cluttered, unclean work area is more difficult to efficiently maneuver in and workers are more prone to hazards. Make sure staff adhere to something as simple as running computer cables and cords properly so that they don’t create a tripping hazard. No matter if your work environment is a manufacturing warehouse or an office cubicle, keeping the area clean and well-maintained decreases the chance of accidents. When an accident first occurs, the number one thing is to report it immediately. Some employees don’t think to report an incident if there isn’t serious injury. In reality, every accident should be reported. An injury that seems minor when it first happens can end up being more serious down the line. The second reason it’s important to report any injury immediately is because it indicates a hazard that should be addressed. Even if the employee wasn’t injured in any serious way, reporting the incident can give the employer information to make a protocol change that will prevent future accidents. Occupational risks assessment and taking action to protect workers’ safety and health is an obligation of each employer. There are numerous measures considered as relevant for accident prevention, e.g. design and use of more safe equipment and technologies or replacing dangerous equipment and products by non-dangerous or less dangerous ones, improvement of working environment, use and maintenance of personal protective equipment, management and staff training, improvement of communication, etc. This article focuses on the common organisational measures of accident prevention (such as work organisation, consultation, information and training, occupational safety and health management, etc.), which should be or could be applied in each company.

Dahua Technology launches Face-Recognition apartment outdoor station VTO9341D Dahua Technology, a leading solution provider in the global video surveillance industry, announced that it has launched a new apartment outdoor station VTO9341D, providing new access control solutions to fence and lobby entrance with the cutting-edge face recognition technology. The apartment outdoor station elevates the safety and convenience of resident security system to a new level with the fashionable non-touch face-recognition entry, while conventional unlocking ways are preserved in case of emergency.

CHeKT Announces Integration with DICE Corporation CHeKT is pleased to announce it has formally completed its full integration with the DICE Corporation. “CHeKT brings a new, simplistic approach to providing visual monitoring at the protected premises by the professional integrator. The CHeKT Bridge pairs alarm panel zones and IP cameras or HD over coax recorders to present event and live-view video to central station operators in seconds,” said John Milliron, CHeKT’s Vice President. The Bridge, CHeKT’s flagship product, has the power to turn any alarm panel and cameras into a single video alarm system and an internet of things (IoT)

solution—creating a visual alarm verification system for DICE central stations. Installations can be completed by alarm technicians using only a smartphone within 30 minutes. CHeKT and DICE use additional XML integration to provide the monitoring station with the supervision of the location internet status, camera health and CHeKT equipment at all times. DICE is committed to providing central stations with access to evolving technologies and believes CHeKT’s platform

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

helps monitoring centers handle the high rate of false alarms that have plagued the alarm industry and have eroded trust with business owners and first responders. CHeKT’s technology enables operators to immediately see the cause of an alarm and provides a solution for dealers to utilize their existing alarm systems and cameras. Efficiency is an important component of the CHeKT integration. The technology gives DICE customers a turnkey video monitoring solution while creating increased RMR opportunities for the dealer. Because the Bridge uses traditional alarm detection devices, it does not increase

signal traffic into the central station. Events triggered from an alarm panel are delivered into DICE, presenting an operator with the CHeKT video monitoring portal for visual verification of an alarm within three to five seconds. The integration requires no additional equipment at the central station. DICE central station operators are provided with clear guidance on how to handle an alarm, saving time and ensuring operator consistency. “Wow, this is awesome – you can tell that this came from a company who understands the alarm monitoring industry,” said Troy Astrope of ProTELEC Alarms.

United Manufacturing Co. : The legacy of excellence in Fire Fighting Vehicles Arena

Mr. Gurpreet Singh, Partner, United Manufacturing Co. Q. “United Manufacturing Co.” has a history of creating history what are new achievements?

Q. Euro chassis has been introduced in fire tender chassis, what do you think?

We always strive to serve the with best our capabilities. We have recently delivered state of art technology fire tender as per customised requirements of authorities. Recently we have executed orders of HPCL, IOCL, Baroda, IOCL- Mathura, IOCLTelangana, and we have supplied to defence as well.

Euro – 4 is environment friendly technology brought to cut down pollution. We certainly would like to implement the technology in fire tender section. But as per my point of view available technology is not been customised for the requirements of fire tenders. There are some technological constraints and there is scope of

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

improvement to blend it with our needs.

Q. international certifications for the fire industry have become norm, what is your take on that? There are UL, LPCB, & FM certifications are being demanded by customers. They are of course standard bodies who have contributed significantly for assuring quality. What I believe is that all these

INTERFACE

certifications are more tested under European and American conditions. We have our certification BIS which is strictly for India. We need to work on the same and make mandatory only BIS. This will also help to boost our economy. The money being spent in USD to acquire these certifications will remain in our country and people will be spending money to our standard and which will result in further improvement of our standard and economy.

Q. What strategy should be implemented to improve quality procurement of fire, safety and rescue equipments? India is price conscious market as we know. But fire, safety and rescue equipments are life saving products and hence procurement procedure should be more on quality & innovation friendly than price.

A quality product may compel you to shell out few more bucks but at the end it serves the purpose.

Q. After so much of time rolling out “Make in India” program how do see it working? It is worth appreciating effort by the Indian government. Every Indian manufacturer has appreciated the program as a concept. But still we are dependent on imported technologies and products. That dependency has to be brought down. Indian manufacturers have capacity and capability to produce international standard products and technology provided conducive environment and encouragement is generated with policies. Government has started encouraging Indian products but it will take some time to

show results on the ground.

Q. Don’t you think imported products are good in quality and easily available now a days in India? Indian products are also up to the mark and matching international standards. This can be established with the fact that so many Indian companies have acquired international certifications and you can get the certification once you are producing that quality. Imported products have constraint of after sales and to import product you need time which may bring delay in project and thus raising the cost of entire project.

Q. Your message to the readers? Do not compromise quality over price. These are life saving products and life is too costly to waste to save few dimes.

Brijbasi Fire Fighting Group : The legacy of excellence of industry protecting billion worth of assets in India.After so many years of hard work I proudly declare that “Brijbasi Fire” has garnered repute of established brand name in the field of fire tender & disaster management equipments. “Brijbasi” will be celebrating Golden Jubilee year in 2020.

Q. Any product launched recent past by you? In past we have introduced all the specialised vehicles as mentioned above and now we are introducing new products such as: Mr. M.C. Aggarwal Brijbasi Fire Fighting Group

Q: Kindly tell us brief history of Brijbasi? Brijbasi Fire fighting group was established after I came back from USA after finishing my education & training in fire fighting manufacturing firm.After surveying all over the country specially in petrochemical industry, I found a great scope for going into fire fighting & fire protection business. There was not much know how of fire fighting foam system & equipment at that time in India. So I started design, engineering & supply fire fighting foam system & equipments in 1970. I got my first order in 1970 from ONGC, Ahemdabad for foam trailer fire pump and fixed foam system installation from “Zuari Agro”, a fertilizer firm in Goa. Hence 1970 was the beginning year for the business. After that Brijbasi has always kept looking upward by developing and designing specialised vehicle & systems such as Air Field Crush Tenders, Refinery Foam Tender, DCP Powder Tender, High/ Low Pr Fire Tenders, Rescue Tenders, Turntable Ladder & Hydraulic Platform and so on. Most of the above equipments were designed & developed for the first time in India. As per the requirement of the customers. Today we have 6000 fire fighting vehicles & more than 100 aerial leather platform of 32100 meters height working in all the major fire brigade in the country. In nutshell fire tender & aerial platform of all kind working all over India in state fire services & all types

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

1. All kind of fire fighting vehicles such as Water Tender, Foam Tender, DCP Tender, Water Browser etc. 2. All Kind of large refinery foam and DCP tender for petrochemical industry. 3. High capacity Airfield crash fire tender 4. 32/34 meter hydraulic platform assembled in India on Indian Chassis 5. HAZMAT & Rescue van for disaster management 6. Ultra High pressure fire tenders with water mist technology 7. 60-120 mtrs hydraulic platform form Boronto Skylift, Finland 8. “Hytrans Fire System water supply system” for watering and dewatering, from Holland 9. Pyrolance water piercing system to fight closed fire 10. Motor Bike Fire Engine for the first time in the world 11. All kind of Disaster & Rescue equipments such as Hydraulic Rescue Tools, Lifting Bags, Breathing Apparatus & Compressors, Cutting Saws, Gas Cutting System, Thermal Imaging Cameras. Victim Location/ Search Systems, Underwater Diving Gears & Cameras etc. We always look to upgrade technology for fire and disaster management services.

Q. what scope of fire fighting industry do you see in coming years in India? Due to rapid industrialisation and urbanisation need for more fire protection & fire

fighting system will grow enormously. As per Govt. Of India record our fire service is only 5% what is required hence there is endless scope for the fire industry in India.

Q. Your view on “Make in India” by our PM? Our Prime Minister is a visionary and has vision for the future for India. Indian economy can progress with sustainability with “Make in India” program. This program is aiming to promote indigenous production with partially imported input. This will boost economy & create job opportunities in the country. Brijbasi has been supporter of this concept even when it was not formally launched with the indigenous manufacturing of fire tenders in compliance with latest state of art technology. Since 1970 we have been significantly contributing to this.

Q. How much Indi is prepared for combating with big disaster like we just witnessed in Nepal? We have learnt little bit from our past disasters such as Gujrat earthquake, Uttrakhand Floods and big fires at refineries and other places. Our government is serious and has formed NDMA, a central with lot of funds and resources. Unfortunately their planning is very poor due to known reasons of bureaucracy in India. They do not take in confidence the entrepreneurs from the private sector that can supply the best equipment and services in the country & also support “Make in India” program by Mr. Modi. Lot can be done with public & private enterprise joining hand together

Q. Any message for the readers? Readers should be aware that India is growing mass economy. In this growing economy fire, safety and security play important roles. Our population should know about these services to their benefit. We have to make them aware. I appeal to our readers that always choose best and quality fire safety equipments because the cost of quality product is always cheaper as compared to the life.

: Success through innovation (IS 16018:2012)

Abhinav Bhardwaj (Head- Business Development) M/s United Fire Equipments Pvt. Ltd.

Q. Why IS: 16018, new BIS Standard for Wheeled Fire Extinguishers is introduced? IS 16018:2012 for Wheeled Fire Extinguisher is introduced to replace the previous different codes for all Trolley mounted Fire Extinguishers bringing all of them in one united BIS standard code to be followed that elaborates construction, performance & testing each type of Fire Extinguisher for different classes of fire. It is just like previous introduction of IS: 15683 for Portable Fire Extinguishers implemented in the year 2012 replacing all other different BIS codes that were being used earlier, and this time it is for Trolley mounted fire extinguishers to Wheeled Fire Extinguishers.

Q. This is the replacement of which BIS codes? IS: 16018 for Wheeled Fire Extinguishers basically supersedes the previous BIS codes for Trolley Mounted Fire Extinguishers of Powder, Water, Foam, CO2 & Twin CO2 i.e. IS 10658:1999, IS 13385: 1992, IS 13386: 1992, IS 2878:2004 & IS 8149:1994 respectively.

Q. What are the new things in this code which are different from the previous versions of the code? Firstly, there are many new updated features in the lately implemented BIS code, and the key feature among them is controlled discharge valve type nozzle. Other significant change is its design that

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

allows no involvement of wheels at its rest position unlike previous Trolley mounted Fire Extinguishers that used to rest on its wheel making it little difficult while operating. Another one is Labelling; it has little edge over the former BIS code. It even enables an individual to distinguish the type of Extinguisher according to its colour coding on its label just like portable fire extinguishers. Some other salient features also include introduction of Stored Pressure type Wheeled Fire Extinguishers with specially designed valve to easily discharge the expellant and as the cylinder will be pressurized already unlike the Gas Cartridge & Outer CO2 type Fire Extinguishers that requires trained personnel to operate. Also, this latest code allows Clean Agent & Water-mist Wheeled Fire Extinguishers which were not available earlier under any IS Standard. Capacities available under recent code which are now available are as follows:a)

Water-based extinguisher

10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 & 125 litres

b) Powder-based extinguishers

25, 50 and 75 Kg

6.5, 9, 22.5 and 45 Kg

CO2 based extinguishers

d) Clean agent extinguishers

10, 20, 30 and 50 Kg

Foam-based extinguishers

10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 & 125 litres

Water-mist extinguishers

10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 & 125 litres

Source: Clause ‘5.5.1 at Page 2 of Amendment No. 2 March 2017 to IS16018:2012 WHEELED FIRE EXTINGUISHERSPERFORMANCE AND CONSTRUCTION- SPECIFICATION

Q. Does it change the way the extinguishers were operated? With new features of Wheeled Fire Extinguishers, an individual will be able to operate the Fire Extinguisher on one’s own which was little difficult in previous versions of Trolley Mounted Fire Extinguishers. As its controlled discharge valve feature is provided by giving a shut off valve at nozzle itself, that means now one doesn’t need to shut off or pause the discharge from the valve of Fire Extinguisher; rather he or she can easily control it through the discharge nozzle while Extinguisher valve is open.

Q. Departments like Defence, Marine, CPWD, PWD, CIDCO, MHADA, Railways, DDA, MCD, NDMC, Delhi Jal Board, etc. are already demanding/ asking for products of previous code; what is the correct way to replace such products from market which are already prevalent & demanded currently? It is very typical question, whereas the answer lies in the question only that the departments shall be using the products which were being manufactured earlier whereas the manufacturers has to produce products as per the latest specifications of IS:16018. For this the approving authority Bureau of Indian Standards has released a public circular regarding IS:16018 superseding all the previous IS codes for Trolley mounted Fire Extinguishers, now which doesn’t allow manufacturers to manufacture previous IS standard Trolley Mounted Fire Extinguishers. The same circular can be issued to department & offer newly introduced Wheeled Fire Extinguishers.

Q. How awareness of the code is being done in the market? Any new thing will take time to get all things right at its place. We as a manufacturer are providing information through many channels. Our entire dealer / distribution network are made clear regarding the same whereas the marketing team is doing their job and making most of the departments aware about the same. Product Catalogue of LIFEGUARD is updated with technical specifications and product images as per the new standard which is being distributed and is also available on our website www.lifeguardindia.in

Q. The code was drafted in 2012, why its implementation took so much time? Why awareness about the same is not prevalent in the market? Code may be drafted even before that, but the codes itself is tested many times to ensure its authenticity & feasibility for implementation, many amendments for the same were also introduced in implementing stage, but awareness will only take place when the code is implemented and products are out in market for its final use which is done recently.

‘Surveillance is one of the most important pieces of the smart cities ecosystem in India’: Sudhindra Holla, Axis Communications

Sudhindra Holla, Sales Director - India & SAARC, Axis Communications

Q. Surveillance market has been witnessing a lot of traction. In your view, what are the key factors driving the growth? Surveillance market has been on a strong growth trajectory over the last few years and will continue its upward trend. This growth is due to a mix of a lot of things. Most important, of course, is the safety element—there is definitely increased general awareness on safety. We can see surveillance being increasingly used in public places to bring down crime, enhance women safety, etc. Secondly, government push on safety with initiatives, such as smart cities and mandatory safety regulations are also spurring the demand. Apart from safety, the usage of surveillance systems in verticals, such as retail is also driven by the need to tap into the business potential of BI. For instance, retailers are using surveillance systems to gather data and gain actionable insights on

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

key business decisions like how to improve customer satisfaction or optimize the stores.

Q. Comment on the most significant technology trends influencing the surveillance market. One of the trends that we are witnessing, strictly speaking in terms of camera, is that the technology is getting extremely powerful. In the last two-three years, there has been a remarkable improvement in picture quality and evidence-grade video even in difficult or low light conditions. Usage of thermal cameras is on the rise. In low-light areas or even pitch-dark areas, thermal camera provides reliable detection as it creates images based on heat generated from any object, vehicle or person. We are also increasingly seeing an integration of lot of technologies so that all the different sensors come together and give a number of functionalities from a single unit to the customers. To give you an

Swedish security solutions company, Axis Communications, is eyeing huge growth prospects in India in the wake of Government’s Smart Cities project. In an extensive interview with ISR, Sudhindra Holla, Sales Director - India & SAARC, Axis Communications says that India is standing on the cusp of a major opportunity and security vendors just need to focus in the right direction to capitalize on this opportunity. He talks about the technology trends emerging in surveillance, key segments driving the growth and the company’s vision and growth plans. Excerpts example, network audio is being integrated with video, which enables customers to make a live announcement or schedule announcements from the same system. This kind of integration gives a complete package to the customers. Then, of course, there is a big trend of big data and analytics across industries, and surveillance is no exception. We can see a heightened interest on how to make sense of various video footages captured by different cameras and how to stitch together the incidents on different cameras to derive insights. So, there is a lot of activity happening on the analytics front. Another trend that is fast picking up is cyber security in the context of video surveillance. Customers are realizing that a camera getting hacked is not just hacking of the video footage but a serious security breach. With integration of so many technologies in the surveillance systems, any vulnerability in the system

INTERFACE

is like someone breaking your front door. Organizations are coming to terms with this reality and are taking a proactive approach in addressing the risks.

Q. According to you, how important is the role of security surveillance systems in attaining government’s Smart Cities Vision. What makes a city smart? I believe that becoming a safe city, is the first step for a city to become a smart city. The Government of India’s Smart Cities Mission, with an estimated budget of 2.09 lakh crore focus on infrastructure and services taken to promote intelligent solutions. The project is aimed at taking existing areas and applying ‘smart’ thinking to improve them, through retrofitting and redevelopment. These smart city projects will lead to an improved quality of life for citizens. Surveillance is one of the most relevant and important pieces of the smart cities ecosystem in India. Surveillance systems can definitely help increase crime investigation efficiency and in turn bring down the crime rate in a city. While safety is an obvious advantage of video surveillance systems, they also have great potential in providing more advanced public services, such as traffic management and control, energy management, waste management, water management, to name a few.

Q. What would be the major verticals you’ll be concentrating on in 2018? We have always been very strong in the large corporates and IT segment and we will continue to focus on that. We are also sensing huge opportunities in the education and manufacturing sector and feel that we can take our solutions to the next level with these high-growth segments. Then, of course, there are smart cities, which is a huge focus area for us at Axis. Apart from that, retail and hospitality are also showing high growth potential.

Q. How do you perceive India as a market, what are the opportunities and challenges? Market in India is, no doubt, challenging.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

However, at the same time it has opportunities too. I feel, we need to find the correct balance between the challenges and opportunities to reap the optimal results. If we look at the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business global rankings, India has moved up to 100th spot from its last year’s 130th rank. Indian market is growing at a very healthy rate. As per the findings of a report by IHS, India’s market for network video camera is growing at a CAGR of 16% to reach 258 million in 2022 from the current 158 million. So, definitely opportunities are galore and for vendors like us it’s all about focusing in the right direction to capitalize on the opportunity. India is definitely a key market for Axis’s Asia Pacific operations that currently contributes about 12% of global revenues.

Q. Please update us on key projects that you have undertaken for the Indian government. As part of our focus on smart cities, we have bagged six big projects—Hyderabad, Bhavnagar, Junagadh, Kolhapur, Nanded City and Aurangabad. Each city has different requirements and through the support of our partners, we have successfully implemented our solutions. For example, in Bhavnagar, we installed IP66-rated cameras as they needed a traffic monitoring system. In Kolhapur, all the tourist attractions and city entry/exit points had to be monitored, for which we deployed 165 network cameras at 65 locations. The Hyderabad Smart City project is an example of community participation towards building a safer and secured smart city. We have 1,500 camera installations across the city to track, monitor and analyze the video feed for detecting criminal activities, traffic violations, and road conditions.

Q. Companies are excited about new technologies like Big Data, IoT and AI. How is Axis planning to cash in on these disruptive tech trends? At Axis, we have evolved from a cameracentric approach by constantly adopting to newer technologies and catering to

the changing market needs. IoT is crucial in a scalable architecture to manage the network of connected devices, scale and analyse effectively. With IP-based security devices increasingly replacing analog systems, we predict wider use of security products that will integrate with the data generated by IoT connected devices for enhanced security surveillance applications and uses. The AI integration in future will allow network cameras to think independently and make smart decisions. For example, smart city applications are now based on linking data from various sources and then making sense of it, like collecting traffic related data such as vehicle counts, average speed per traffic lane, traffic lane occupancy, vehicle classification, etc. In future, with extended camera capabilities, they will be able to gather people and crowd related data including people counting, crowd capacity, etc. While the industry uses machine or deep learning mostly for video analytics, we believe technological innovation in AI, Big Data and IoT will play a much greater role in different applications. We are conscious about the deep learning and think it needs to be more mature.

Q. What is your vision and growth plan for the company? Our focus will continue to be on building stronger channel ecosystem to meet the needs of our end customers. We have initiatives to grow our active channel and solution partner base. Another aspect of our strategy includes trying to win big in government, safe cities and smart cities projects. We incorporate our segment approach by making investments in Business Development Managers. Further, we plan to introduce more innovative products and solutions based on market feedback and requirement.

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

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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

explosions hazard if safe practices are not followed. While the welding arc may reach temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the real danger is not from the arc itself, but rather the intense near the arc 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.

SAFETY TRAINING “Safety training and education is an important organisational strategy for any total accident prevention programme.”

1.0 INTRODUCTION: Education and training have been recognised as important components of organised health and safety programs in work places. In today’s rapidly changing workplace they are more important than ever. Safety training and education creates consciousness and develops alertness to safety. Safety education develops safety – mindedness while training helps apply acquired safety knowledge to the specific job or task or procedure. It is a process by which employees are helped to develop critical and conscious mind to analyse safe work methods or procedure and develop skills in application of safe methods and practices in their work and activities. Safety is being implemented by the man on the shop, his conscious efforts to be safe in every situation and at all the times is important. It must be borne in mind that the workers who have not been trained how to perform their jobs safely are more likely to have accidents. It is also a fact that a welltrained employee is more likely to be a safe employee. Therefore, safety consciousness has to be inculcated so that employees’ actions and behaviour are all the time governed by such safety considerations. This article will focus on various aspects of safety training and various statutes applicable to safety training at national and international level, in particular to Indian contest. For the preparation of this article, many documents such as books, articles, acts, rules, codes, and standards are referred, however, due to limitation of space, the list of these references are not included in this article.

2.0 SOURCES OF INFORAMTION: It would be appropriate to go into various aspects of training, such as sources of safety

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

information, designing the training needs, training methods, training plans, so that the readers can get a comprehensive view on safety training. The objectives of sources of safety information corresponds to four different stages of accident sequence. At the first stage, sources of information provided prior to the task are used to educate workers about risks and persuade them to behave safely. The sources used for this task include safety training materials, hazard communication programmes and various forms of safety programme materials. Methods of education and persuasion attempt not only to reduce errors by improving worker knowledge and skills but also to reduce intentional violation of safety rules by changing unsafe attitudes. As the inexperienced workers are often the target audience at this stage, safety information provided at the stage must be more detailed in content than at other stages. At the second stage, sources such as written procedures, checklists, instructions, warning signs, and product labels can provide critical safety information during routine task performance. This information usually consists of brief statements, which either instructs less skilled workers or remind skilled workers to take necessary precautions. Statements providing such information are often embedded at the appropriate stage within step-by-step instructions describing how to perform a task. Warning signs at appropriate locations can play a similar role. It must be emphasized that a well-trained and motivated workforce is a prerequisite for safety communication to be effective at this stage. At the third stage, highly conspicuous and easily perceived sources of safety

information alert workers of abnormal or unusually hazardous conditions. The sources of information include warning signals, safety markings, tags, signs, lockouts, etc. As in stage two, a well-trained and motivated workforce is a prerequisite for safety communication to be affective at this stage also. At the fourth stage, the focus is on expediting worker performance of emergency procedures at the time of an accident, and on the performance of remedial measures shortly after an accident. Safety information signs and markings such as the locations of exists, fire extinguishers, first aid station, emergency showers, eyewash fountains, etc., conspicuously indicate facts critical to adequate performance of emergency procedures. Product safety labels and MSDSs may specify remedial and emergency procedures to be followed. As in stage two and three, a well-trained and motivated workforce is a prerequisite for safety communication to be affective at this stage too.

3.0 DESIGNING TRAINING NEEDS: While designing on the contents of training, the employees’ position and the type of work done by him in the organisations need to be considered. The contents must be useful to the trainees’ existing work interest and should help him to improve his job performance. In determining the contents, it is profitable to consult, plant or departmental heads and individuals to be trained so as to assess the work interest and areas of work application. This will help in bringing their environment. It is particularly important to ensure that the key personals that have special safety and health responsibilities within the organisation are properly trained.

TECH UPDATE

Supervisors have a vital role to play in ensuring safety and health. However, often they receive little or no specific training. Therefore, there is a need to train the supervisors in hazard identification and control so that the action can be taken by them to remove hazards from their area of control. It should be borne in mind that safety training should be an integral part of job training and job specification. New starters to any job are vulnerable and likely to cause / meet accidents and therefore all new starters need to be trained in safety and health relevant to their work before being posted in a position where they are at risk or can become a hazard to others. Supervisor can ensure that his people are working conscientiously with safe habits, only if he checks from time to time whether the workers know, understand and willingly follow safety rules and regulations. Supervisors shall instil positive attitude to safety, right from the stage of induction training to on-the-job training. General things like use of working space, location of first aid, housekeeping, disposal system, etc., could be stressed in the initial training. While giving details of job instructions, safety points such as use of protective equipment and guards, handling and care of tools, machines, and material and safe methods of working should be emphasized. To determine the content, it is necessary to have understanding of learning process in view of the trainers’ competence and trainees’ capacity to learn. Comprehensive information on company’s safety policy, activities and review of company’s safety performance in terms of year to year trends, loss of man hours and damage to goods and equipment, etc., can help stressing the role to be played by supervisors and managers for implementation and observance of safety on the shop floor.

4.0 TRAINING METHODS: The training specialists often face within bewildering choice of training methods to meet a defined training objective. It may be borne in mind that what learners retain from instruction they receive vary from

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

person to person. Many educators are of the opinion that the following percentage apply regarding what learners retain from instruction they receive. • 10 % of what is read • 20 % of what is heard • 30 % of what is seen • 50 % of what is seen and heard • 70 % of what is seen and spoken • 90 % of what is said while doing what is talked about Different training method and techniques are in vogue. The methods, such as lecture, discussion, and role-play technique are useful in a formal classroom for a group of supervisory or management group. The techniques like, on the job instructions, fault analysis are useful for training a small group of technicians or operatives on the shop floor. Project work and simulation workshop help learning through application and practice at any level. The training method chosen must also maintain interest of the learners. The afternoon sessions must be necessarily conducted by group environment methods so as to keep their interest high, in-spite of the odd hours. By and large the methods chosen should help the learners learn the contents through active involvement. All the methods and aids have to be used singly or in combination depending on the type of training, type of trainees, availability of time and facility available for training. The right choice of method or combination of them depends upon the training objective, the learning quality and the speed desired.

5.0 TRAINING PLANS: Before formulating a training plan, it is necessary to clarify some broad aspects of training, such as whether the programme is to meet short term or immediate needs or a long range with future needs in mind. It could also be a general educational programme or the specialised skill development programme. The nature of programme could be induction, orientation for new entrants or refresher, appreciation programme for older employees, etc. At this stage, it is necessary to find out

whether the training content so decided can be taught in a formal training programme or can be put across informally in daily contacts. An informal guidance and coaching can be done individually over a period of time whereas if the group size becomes large, then the formal inputs may be necessary. The induction, orientation, on-the-job programmes have to be organised in the company and can be conducted exclusively by in-company officials. The duration of the training should however be decided in view of expected results in terms of changes in performance and behaviour and the attempt should be to give adequate coverage so as to reach the expected standard. However, a part-time programme of not more than 2 hours at a time would help keep sustained interest. Programmes organised outside or in institutes have to be full time duration for administrative convenience. A programme conducted at the premises of the factory has convenience of attending to work and being available when required. However, it suffers from distraction of being called to attend the jobs. Programme away from place of work have an advantage of continuity of learning, minimum interruption, motivation of trainees and adequacy of learning through exchange of views without inhibitions, etc. The trainers chosen from within the company should be knowledgeable in their subjects and must be interested and skill in teaching. They must be well respected for their position in the organisation and having authority in the subject besides having proven ability to guide and coach people on safety. The line between training that should be provided by supervisor and health and safety professionals is not clearcut. Generally speaking, supervisors are more likely to provide job – and task – specific training while safety and health professionals are more likely to provide the more generic training. Regardless of where this line is drawn, it is clear that today’s safety and health professionals must be competent at developing, coordinating and conducting training.

YMC

TECH UPDATE

The persons conducting training should have a thorough knowledge of the topics to be taught; a desire to teach; a professional attitude and approach; and exemplary behaviour that sets a positive example. In addition to having these characteristics, the modem trainer should be knowledgeable about the fundamental principles of learning.

6.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS: Having recognised the importance of safety training in workplaces, it would be appropriate to go into various statutory requirements available at National and International Levels. 6.1 INDIAN SCENARIO: Analyses of the causes of accidents, which occurred in India, revealed that the chemical industry accounted for nearly 30 per cent of the fatal accidents and almost the same percentage of nonfatal accidents, which were due to human lapses. These could have been averted if the workers were made aware of the hazards and the preventive control measures and also showed commitment and involvement, which could be achieved through wellplanned training programmes. The importance of periodical training, whether formal or informal, has been highlighted by various accidents occurred in India. It must be borne in mind that without the involvement and co-operation of the general public, environmental protection activity in general, and handling of the impact of accidents cannot be very effective. To enlist the involvement and co-operation of the public, an essential requirement is to make them aware of the hazard potentialities. Keeping this requirement in view, the following statutes have provision on training of workers, and some of these have also the stipulation about information to be passed on to the general public: • The Factories Act 1948. • The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulation 1990. • The Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules 1989.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

• The Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) Rules 1989 as amended in 1993. • The Mines Act 1952 • The BIS Standards.

evacuation procedures. 12. Any other information considered necessary by the occupier to ensure safety and health of workers.

6.1.1 Factories Act: One of the general duties of every ‘occupier’, prescribed under Section 7A (2) (c), of the Factories Act, 1948, 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 41-B of the Factories Act, the occupier of every factory, involving a hazardous process, is to disclose to the workers and the general public, in the prescribed manner, all information regarding the health hazards and the 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 Section 41-B, 41-C and 41-H of the Factories Act. 2. A list of ‘hazardous processes’ carried on in the factory. 3. Location and availability of all Material Safety Data Sheets. 4. Physical and health hazards arising out of the exposure to or handling of substances. 5. Measures taken by the occupier to ensure safety and control of physical and health hazards. 6. Measures to be taken by the workers to ensure safe handling, storage and transportation of hazardous substances. 7. Personal Protective Equipment required to be used by workers employed in ‘hazardous process’ or dangerous operation. 8. Meaning of various labels and markings used on the containers of hazardous substances. 9. Signs and Symptoms likely to be manifested on exposure to hazardous substances and to whom to report. 10. Measures to be taken by the workers in case of any spillage or leakage of hazardous substances. 11. Role of workers vis-à-vis the emergency plan of the factory, in particular the

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 workplace. These will be in the language understood by the majority of the workers. The contents should also be explained to the workers. Rules under Section 41-B of the Factories Act, also prescribe that every factory carrying on a ‘hazardous process’ shall obtain or develop information on each hazardous substance handled, maintain it as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and make these available for reference to the workers, on request. Section 41-B(1) of the Factories Act prescribes that the occupier of every hazardous process unit shall disclose in the prescribed manner, all information regarding the health hazards in the manufacture, transportation and storage of the hazardous substances, and the measure to combat such hazards, to the general public in the vicinity. The State Factories Rules prescribe that the occupier of a hazardous process unit shall, in consultation with the designated District Emergency Authority, take appropriate steps to furnish the information to the general public in the area. Whereas, this is a general requirement applicable to all hazardous process unit, the State Factories Rules have prescribed in the Schedules on dangerous operations, the display of cautionary placards in the following processes specifically: 1. Electrolytic plating (Chromium hazard). 2. Sand blasting. 3. Liming and tanning of raw hides, etc. 4. Manufacture of Chromic Acid. 5. Manufacture of Nitro or Amino processes. 6. Handling and manipulation of corrosive substances. 7. Processes involving the manufacture, use or evolution of Carbon Disulphide and Hydrogen Sulphide.

TECH UPDATE

8. Manufacture & manipulation of dangerous Pesticides. 9. Manufacture & manipulation of Asbestos. 10. Manufacture & manipulation of Manganese 11. Benzene processes. 12. Processes involving carcinogenic dye intermediates 13. Highly flammable liquids and flammable gases. 6.1.2 Dock Workers Regulations: Training of Dock Workers in the health and safety aspects of cargo handling is as important as the training of workers in the factories. The Dock Workers (Safety, Health and Welfare) Regulations, 1990, cover this aspect also. Regulation No.111 stipulates 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. Training including refresher courses is to be imparted to all first aid personnel, by a qualified medical officer. 6.1.3 MSIHC Rules: The training provisions in the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989, framed under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, are meant to equip the workers in the hazardous chemicals units to protect themselves and to avert major accidents in such units, and handle an accident situation appropriately. Rule 4(2) (b) (ii) of MSIHC Rules, stipulates that the Occupier should ‘provide to the persons working on the site with the 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 on-site emergency plan is conducted every six months. This 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

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

installation shall take all steps to inform the people outside the site either directly or through the District Emergency Authority:(a) the nature of the major accident hazard; and (b) the safety measures and the ‘dos’ 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 (MSDS) on the hazardous chemicals handled and make them accessible to the workers. This stipulation is similar to the one in the Factories Act in respect of hazardous process units. 6.1.4 CMV Rules: The Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, insists that safety and accident prevention in respect of vehicles transporting hazardous goods are ensured through appropriate information being provided to the drivers who should also be properly trained. Rule 9(1) of CMV Rules, prescribes that any person driving a goods carriage carrying goods of dangerous or hazardous nature to human life shall: (i) in addition to being the holder of a driving licence to drive a transport vehicle, also has the ability to read and write at least one Indian language out of those specified in the VIII Schedule of the Constitution of India, and English, and (ii) possess a certificate having successfully passed a course consisting of the prescribed syllabus and periodicity (duration – 3 days) Rule 134 of CMV Rules, stipulates that every goods carriage used for transporting any dangerous or hazardous goods shall be legibly and conspicuously marked with an emergency information panel on three sides of the goods carriage. 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 goods carriage has received adequate instructions & training to enable him to understand: a. the nature of the goods being transported by him, b. the nature of the risks arising out of such goods, c. the precautions he should take while the

goods carriage is in motion or stationary, and d. the action he has to take in case of any emergency. 6.1.5 Mines Act: The law relating to the regulation of labour and safety in mines in India are governed by Mines Act, 1952. Rule 58 (ff) of the Mines Act, 1952, insists for training in first-aid; Rule 58 (fff), insists for imparting of practical instruction to, or the training of, persons employed or to be employed in mines; Rule 58 (v) of the Act, provides guidance for the formation, training composition and duties of rescue brigades which are generally for the conduct of rescue work in mines. 6.1.6 BIS Standards: IS:15001 - 2000 brought out by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), provides guidance to the organizations to develop a practical approach to management of occupational health and safety in such a way to protect employees and general public, whose health and safety may be in danger. The Standard also directs to improve occupational health & safety performance of the organizations by providing the necessary requirements and guidance. However, this standard has been re-designated as IS: 18001-2007. The BIS has also published National Building Code of India (NBC) 2016, which serves as a guide for all construction activities in India. Part 7 Clause 4.3.9.2 (d) of the NBC 2016 insists for the education and training of workers involved in constructions sites on safety issues. BIS has also published several standards on various aspects of occupational safety, health and environment, which may also serve as a source of information for providing an effective training. 6.2 INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO: In most industrialised countries, government regulations require that certain form of safety information be provided to workers. For example: In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

TECH UPDATE

has promulgated a Hazard Communication Standard that applies to workplaces where toxic or hazardous materials are in use, which requires training, container labelling, the distribution of MSDSs and other form of warnings. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed several labelling requirements for toxic chemicals. The Department of Transportation (DOT) makes specific provisions regarding the labelling of hazardous materials in transport. It may be noted here that in the U.S., the failure to warn also can be grounds for litigation holding manufacturers, employers and others liable for injuries incurred by workers. In Canada, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) promotes the total well-being – physical, psychosocial and mental health – of working Canadians by providing information, training, education, management systems and solutions that support health, safety and wellness programs. In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the national regulator for workplace health and safety. It prevents work-related death, injury and ill health. It make arrangements for and encourage research and publication, training, and information in connection with its work. In Australia, the Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) laws, previously known as Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) laws, regulate safety. However, the Safe Work Australia leads the development of national policy to improve work health and safety and workers’ compensation arrangements across Australia. Though it does not regulate or enforce WHS legislation, it can however, provide education, training and advice on work health and safety and how to incorporate safety management into the business operations. A large set of existing standards provides voluntary recommendations regarding the use and design of safety information. These standards have been developed by multilateral groups and agencies, such as the United Nations (UN), the European Economic

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

Community (EEC), the International Labour Office (ILO), the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC); and by national groups, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the British Standards Institute (BSI), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), the German Institute for Normalization (DIN) and the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC). It may be remembered here that Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) training is a pre-requisite for obtaining ISO certifications, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

and assistance by departmental heads. It must be borne in mind that the training is an inseparable process for promoting safe, healthy and productive work environment in any organisation.

7.0 CONCLUSION: Workers awareness on the potential hazards and their prevention need to be increased so that the management can implement effective accident prevention programme successfully. Safety training and education is an important organisational strategy for any total accident prevention programme. Safety training at all levels is one of the important corporate strategies to help improve working conditions and environment through enlightened cooperation and collaboration of employees. Such a programme, however, has to have cooperation and commitment of all the levels of the organisation in the process of identifying, designing and conducting training. The employers throughout the world provided a vast amount of safety information to workers, both to encourage safe behaviours and to discourage unsafe behaviours. Modern safety and health professionals have a key role to play in ensuring that all employees at all levels receive appropriates types and amounts of training. Safety Officer or Training Officer acts as a coordinator of this activity and takes further initiative in checking its results on the total organisational safety performance. The success of these training programmes, requires help, support and active encouragement by senior management and enlightens appreciation

NINJA® offers you the perfect glove for working in low temperatures

etting workers to wear a glove for the length of their shifts is one of the biggest safety challenges facing organizations today. Gloves must not only provide mechanical protection but must also be adequately comfortable so that workers don’t need to take the gloves off and make a conscious choice to wear them. Time and again, it has been seen that unprotected hands are more prone to injuries and thus comfort is no longer a “good to have” but a must when it comes to hand protection. Choosing hand protection for applications like cold storage, plumbing, frozen food handling, construction and outdoor winter use requires gloves that not only keep hands warm but also prevent water from seeping in, because as soon as water permeates the glove, wearer comfort is compromised, increasing the chance that the worker would need to take them off.

What should workers consider while selecting low temperature hand protection? 1. Water Repellency to provide protection from water to prevent it from seeping into

the gloves 2. Right combination of materials to provide warmth and comfort 3. Mechanical properties according to the task at hand – Cut/Abrasion/Tear/ Puncture 4. Dexterity to reduce motion fatigue and increase efficiency 5. Flexibility in lower temperatures – Most PVC and Nitrile based coatings become stiff at lower temperatures so selecting a glove that retains its flexibility is important to perform tasks efficiently 6. Hand hygiene to minimize odor and keep hands fresh.

The Ninja® HPT™ Ice gloves enjoy a loyal following in the world among fishermen, winter cyclists, freezer workers, and other cold weather enthusiasts for its ability to stay soft and flexible in freezing temperatures. The HPT™ (Hydropellent Technology) coating used in the Ninja® HPT™ Ice glove is revolutionary in many ways: • The porous coating channels away liquids from the surface to provide a firm wet/oily grip • Provides an excellent 360-degree anti-wet feature that beads away liquids from the glove but at the same time, also allows air to flow through which in turn keeps hands dry • Coating remains soft and flexible in freezing temperatures so that the wearer can work continuously • Encapsulated air molecules provide a cushioning effect to minimize impact.

Using Technology and Gadgets to Ensure the Safety of Senior Citizens

hey say that reaching the last stages of life is just like entering a second childhood. One must be very careful and mindful with dealing with the elderly. They are sensitive, gentle and fragile, and require special assistance from time to time. When it comes to caring for the elderly members in the family, the first thing we consider is environmental factors such as preventing falls and injury. We make sure that there are no loose rugs on which they may trip, we make sure that there is adequate lighting in every room so that the grannies and grandpas at home have no trouble with visibly and wayfinding, we even install extra steps or bars in the bathroom so that there is support while getting up. Let us have a look at various gadgets and technologies available today to help you in ensuring the safety of senior citizens at your home -

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

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

LPG Gas Detection: In many households, when the kids are at school and the parents are at work, the elderly of the household are left to their own devices for some time. In this time, it is very natural for elders to want to make a cup of tea or heat some food, and so on. But the nature of the elderly tends to be slightly forgetful, which is why LPG gas detectors are an absolute must in every household. Not leaving the gas on, even accidentally, maybe something that younger adults take for granted, but we must be understanding towards the elders since it is only human for them to forget things at their age. Go for highly sensitive gas detectors that can detect even the slightest release of LPG so that any crisis may be averted well in advance. When it comes to LPG, the trick is to nip the leak in the bud and air out the house completely.

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

and sometimes, may even be fatal. If you are caring for a person above 65, then fall sensors can make all the difference to the wellness and safety of the concerned senior citizen. They are wearable devices which trigger an alarm to the caretaker if any sudden jolts or movements are detected. This way, even if you are unable to get to your loved one on time, you can at least call a friend for help in the meantime.

Door Sensors: This is an especially handy equipment for dealing with elderly patients who may have dementia or related conditions. Such patients are always at risk since they are sometimes unaware of their surroundings which may unknowingly put them in dangerous situations. For these reasons, door sensors may be stationed at the patient’s room door so that a caregiver is alerted if the patient tries to exit the room. The idea is not to cordon off the patient, but rather to allow them to move around freely as long as you are aware of where they are.

Alarm & Emergency Management (AEMS) for Senior Citizen Homes: This is one of our offerings which is based on a combination of smoke and gas leak protection. It is a special gas detection device that also doubles as a fire alarm system by alerting the building security for immediate help. It is important to note that senior citizens are twice more likely to suffer firerelated injuries or fatalities than the youth and middle-aged adults. Limited mobility is one of the main issues which is why prevention is extremely important, as well as acting swiftly. Visit our website to find all of these solutions and more, which will help ensure the safety of the wisest members of your household!

Fall Sensors: Intrusion Detection: One of the biggest fears of caregivers when it comes to caring for the elderly is intrusions.

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW | OCTOBER 2018

Around one-third of the population over 65 suffer falls each year. A fall for a senior citizen can bring forth extreme discomfort and pain,

An ultimate Yardstick for Safety & Compliance at Commercial Kitchen

Mr. Ashish Shah, Managing Director Ambetronics Engineers Pvt. Ltd.

re you a kitchen supervisor? A safety officer? A Chef? Or A Foodie???? Whatever category you fall into, individual safety and safety of those around us is each one’s responsibility. Imagine you sitting in a Food court or Working in the restaurant’s kitchen and suddenly a fire breaks out! Highly dangerous, right? Well this is NO Exaggeration. LPG or PNG leaks are one of the highest risks associated with kitchens. To avoid such fatal situation, the authorities are obliged to install LPG gas leak detector in their kitchens. But mere fixing of Gas Detector and its associated circuitry is not sufficient. To have optimum protection it is mandatory to follow the safety norms and guidelines related to it.

• Mounting Height of Gas Detector: LPG gas is heavier than air, hence it sits to the floor level. Whereas PNG is lighter than air & hence tries to escape higher to the ceiling. To have an optimum and precise detection, Gas Detectors should be fitted at a distance of: • LPG Gas Detector: 6 inches to 1 feet from the ground surface. • PNG Gas Detector: 1 feet above to the potential leakage source of PNG Pipeline. • Detector Housing/ Enclosures: LPG/ PNG is highly flammable and explosive above 40%LEL. Hence Ambetronics Gas Detectors are enclosed in a Flame-Proof Housing made up of Cast Aluminum Alloy, LM-6. • Protection Class: To protect the gas sensor as well as the gas detector from water, oil fumes and dust, it is compulsory

to have the instruments tested for IP 65 or upper protection class. Ambetronics GT – 4000 FLP & GT – 2500 FLP, GT – 2511 FLP gas detectors are IP 65 & IP 66 compliant respectively. Ambetronics Engineers Pvt. Ltd. is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company manufacturing products that are CCOE, CMRI & CE compliant. The design and installation process given by Ambetronic’s Technical Experts has been unquestionable for past 26 Years. With 25000+ instruments working on site, Ambetronics has always stood higher in the field of Human & Industrial Safety.

Major key-points recommended by Ambetronics Engineers Pvt. Ltd.: • Type of Sensor to be used: Pellistor/ Catalytic Bead Sensor/ Infrared Sensor The gas sensor is capable of detecting the concentration of LPG/ PNG gas in 0–100 % LEL range having a resolution of 1. • Alarm Indication levels: To ensure the safety of the personal and infrastructure, Ambetronics recommends to set the Alarm levels as given: OCTOBER 2018 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW
