Plant and Equipment Safety Overview

Plant and Equipment Safety

• Appraisal and Control Techniques: Focuses on evaluating and controlling safety in plants and equipment
• Objectives: (Not specified in the given text)
• Plant Safety Observation: Method to identify and record unsafe practices or conditions.
• Plant Safety Inspections: Systematic checks of plant equipment for safety compliance
• Safety Sampling: Targeted, specific checks for safety issues in predetermined areas.
• Safety Surveys: Broad examinations of safety conditions throughout the facility.
• Job Safety Analysis (JSA): Method for evaluating hazards associated with specific jobs.
• Safety Inventory System: Track safety equipment and supplies.
• Product Safety: Procedures to ensure the safety of products.
• Permit-to-Work Systems: Formal procedures for performing potentially hazardous tasks.
• Safety Tag Systems: Systems for marking hazardous areas or equipment.
• Loss Control: Mitigation of losses, injuries, and damage.
• Damage Control and System Safety: Methods to reduce damage and improve the safety of systems.

Laws and Regulations

• Manufacture, Storage, and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (Amendment) Rules, 2000: Regulates the handling of hazardous chemicals.
• Chemical Accidents (Emergency Preparedness, Planning and Response) Rules 1986: Regulations surrounding chemical emergencies.
• Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling, and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules 2008: Rules to handle hazardous waste.

Hazards and Risks

• **Hazard Identification Techniques: ** Methods for identifying potential hazards.

• Hazard Analysis: Process for evaluating identified hazards using different approaches. -Inductive- uses patterns to identify hazards. -Deductive- applies general principles to find hazards. -Fault Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA): Analysis that examines potential failures and their consequences. -Cause Mapping Analysis (CMA): Maps the chain of events leading to a problem.

• Fault Tree Analysis: A methodical way of determining how hazards/errors are developed.

• Understanding of Hazards and Risks: Knowledge of hazards and how they relate to risk levels.

• Risk Assessment Techniques: Methods for quantifying the impact and likelihood of risks.

• Accident Investigation, Reporting, and Analysis: Techniques to understand accidents and their causes.

• Measurement and Control of Performance: Monitoring and improving safety performance.

• Hazard Analysis Techniques and Measurements: Detailed analysis for measuring and controlling hazards.

Major Accident Hazard Control

• Conception of Major Accident Hazards: Understanding the concept of major accident events.
• Evaluation of Major Hazards: Assessing the dangers of significant incidents.
• Types and Consequences of Major Accident Hazards: Categories and effects of large-scale accidents.
• Role of Management, Local Authorities, and Public: Responsibilities of various parties in preventing major accidents.
• Onsite and Offsite Emergency Planning: Plans for emergencies at and away from the site.
  • Case Studies: Examples of major accident scenarios.
• Implementation of Control Procedures and Systems: Putting safety measures in place for serious incidents.

Importance of Disaster Management

• Concept: A comprehensive view of disaster preparedness management.
• Emergency Preparedness at Local Level: Measures for preparing for events at a local scale.
• Contingency Plans: Backup plans to address emergencies.
• Emergency Planning and Preparedness in International Standards: Safety measures in international standards like ISO 14001, OHSA's 18001, and OSHA's Process Safety Management System.
