Study Notes
Plant and Equipment Safety
- Techniques for appraising and controlling plant and equipment safety are crucial.
- Safety observations, inspections, and sampling help identify potential issues.
- Job safety analysis and safety inventory systems are proactive methods.
- Product safety is a key aspect, along with permit-to-work and safety tag systems.
- Loss control, damage control, and system safety are critical for minimizing damage and maintaining systems' operational integrity.
Laws and Regulations
- Specific rules and regulations address hazardous chemical manufacturing, storage, and import (e.g., 2000 amendment).
- Chemical accident rules, hazardous waste management rules, and other regulations govern handling and transport.
Hazards and Risks
- Hazard identification techniques, including inductive, deductive, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Cause Mapping Analysis (CMA), are essential.
- Fault tree analysis is another tool for understanding hazards.
- Risk assessment techniques are crucial to quantify risks and prioritize mitigation efforts.
- Accident investigation, reporting, and performance analysis are key to improvement and learning from past events.
- Hazard analysis techniques and measurements provide data-driven insights.
Major Accident Hazard Control
- Understanding major accident hazards involves evaluating their potential consequences.
- The role of management, local authorities, and the public in controlling and responding to these hazards is vital.
- On-site and off-site emergency planning, including case studies, are crucial components.
- Control procedures and systems implementation is critical.
Importance of Disaster Management
- The concept of effective disaster management is essential.
- Emergency preparedness at the local level is a cornerstone.
- Contingency plans are an integral element for disaster preparedness.
- International standards like ISO 14001, OHSA 18001, and OSHA's Process Safety Management System play a vital role in emergency planning and preparedness.
