Study Notes
Plant and Equipment Safety
- Plant safety appraisal and control techniques focus on observation, inspections, sampling, surveys, job safety analysis, and safety inventory systems.
- Product safety is a key element
- Includes permit-to-work and safety tag systems for controlled operations.
- Essential for loss and damage control, and incorporating system safety principles.
Laws and Regulations
- Key regulations impacting plant safety include the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (Amendment) Rules (2000).
- Chemical Accidents (Emergency Preparedness, Planning, and Response) Rules (1986) are also crucial.
- Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling, and Transboundary Movement) Rules (2008) are important for environmental safety.
Hazards and Risks
- Hazard identification uses techniques like inductive, deductive analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Criticality analysis (CMA).
- Fault tree analysis is another important technique.
- Risk assessment techniques are employed to evaluate potential risks.
- Accident investigation and analysis are crucial for performance measurement and control.
- Hazard analysis techniques and measurements are used to understand and control potential hazards.
Major Accident Hazard Control
- Understanding major accident hazards, including their types and consequences, is vital.
- Evaluation of major hazards plays a key role.
- Management, local authorities, and the public all have important roles.
- Onsite and offsite emergency planning is essential, with case studies providing valuable learning.
- Implementation of control procedures and systems is critical to prevent major incidents.
Importance of Disaster Management
- Disaster management is crucial, encompassing emergency preparedness at local levels.
- Contingency plans and emergency planning are vital.
- International standards such as ISO 14001, OHSA's 18001, and OSHA's Process Safety Management System guide safety.
