Introduction including overview of area inspected and activities

taking place
The health, safety and environment inspection report of the Visakhapatnam
steel plant, incorporated in 1983 under the Department of India, Ministry of Steel and
Mines, Government of India. It is one of the largest integrated steel projects in the
world. The steel plant is located at Visakhapatnam an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS
18001 certified company which comprises an area of about 5000 square metres. The
inspection of the steel plant took place on 05TH June, 2014.
The details of inspection carried out in the critical area of steel of steel plant
are: Grinding and preparation of slurry liquor, predesilication area, digestion area,
precipitation area, mud settling area, security filtration area and calcination area and
other related areas such as civil, construction, material handling and the raw material
supply area i.e. Panchpatmali 14.6 kilometre away from the plant. The inspection
also carried in places where the primary onsite hazards in alumina refinery and a
possibility of offsite hazards in case of major leakage of chlorine.
There is a provision for 10 access and egress gates for the employees in
addition to the 4 emergency exits. The indoor and outdoor employees and visitors
may cause hazard to the operators. This may be because of unsafe acts and
conditions. In addition, there are some potential hazards which include heat burns,
chemical hazards, high pressure, moving machinery and parts (rotary drive, loose
belt, pulley, conveyor belt, etc.) dust, fumes and high voltage and electric hazards.

Executive Summary

At the very beginning I wish to thank you for the kind co-operation and hospitality
extended to me during my recent visit to your august National Aluminium Company
Alumina Refinery plant. I also thank you for the facilities you have provided
throughout the inspection. During the visit I have observed different sites extensively
and number of valued engineering practices was being carried out. I have consulted
the workforce, the worker’s representatives and union leaders during the observation
at different place of work.
I appreciate for the various good practices that the organisation has
undertaken providing safe drinking water, dining facilities, wash rooms, welfare
measures and overall hygienic conditions to the employees. I also satisfied with the
system in reporting and augmenting the accidents/incidents and near miss. The
actions of the Enforcement Authority will have a detrimental effect on the good
standard of culture i.e. moral, social and economic. In this regard we appreciate the
control measures taken for accident incidents and near-miss but proper information,
instruction, training and supervision is lacking with the employees to control the
accidents and prevent at the grass root level. This will enhance the moral of the
workforce and thereby the production of the company. It is not much expensive to
overcome these lacunas but only a cost of INR 5, 20,000 /- shall solve the problem.
With this effort the standard of the company will enhance, the enforcement notices
will decrease and the accident/incident compensation claim will decrease.
As an authority of the organisation, it is the moral responsibility to take up the
negative issues that I have identified in my inspection favourably. I further request
that the recommendations I have made are most important for the well-being of the
employees as well as the development of the organisation.
Hence I will appreciate if these recommendations shall be carried out at your
level immediately.

MAIN FINDINGS OF THE INSPECTION

Observation no. 1: Exposure to Chemicals

The Bayer’s process results in chemical exposure to workers. Large quantities of
caustic soda cause irritation to eyes and ill health and burning of skin of the
employees. Since the process cannot be stopped, on the other hand it is the duty to
prevent exposure and ensuring that Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) are not to
be exceeded. The concentration of exposure should remain within the Threshold
Limit Values (TLVs) as recommended by the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists.
Exposure to hazardous substances should be prevented or where it is not
reasonably practicable control measures should be adopted. The Maximum
Allowable Concentrations (MACs) for a healthy employee who work up 8 hours a day
should be interrupted by periods of rest in a non contaminated atmosphere. Their
working week should not be exceeded 40 hours. Long Term Exposure Limit and
Short term exposure limit are the two appropriate periods in workplace should be
used for protecting against the effects. The following references may be helpful for
this purpose.

8006-4.
Step by Step Guide to Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Assessment (HSG97), HSE Books ISBN 0-7176-2785-3.

Observation no. 6: Risk of Fire

This hazard is mainly caused due to chemical reaction (exothermic reaction) of
calcium with rain water which produces enormous heat e.g. in the Bhopal Gas
disaster in the same way the water from the coolant tank entered into the isocyanide
tank and an exothermic reaction took place releasing huge fumes of toxic gases into
the atmosphere. It was a most fatal disaster of gas leakage in the history.
Therefore in my suggestion “Flash point” of flammable materials should be
considered. The standards of flash point below 37.8°C in United States by the
Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHSA) are considered to be
potential workplace hazards. The work area must be checked thoroughly and no
such occurrances should be repeated. I suggest that information, instruction training

13
and supervision should be given to employees to control such incidents. The under
mentioned references can be helpful in this regard.

Safety in the use of Chemicals at work- section 6-7 (ILO Code of practice), ILO ISBN
9-2210-8006-4

Observation no. 9: Risk of Hot Working (welding)

Hot work has been responsible for causing many fires. In my opinion above all the
general precautions it is often necessary to have a fire watcher to spot any fires that
may be started. Fire extinguishers need to be immediately available during welding
work. The work area must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected by a supervisor and
ensured that after the work is over there are no smouldering fires. Fire extinguishers
should be kept ready for emergency situation. Proper trained workers should be
used for the hot work jobs. References may be followed to reduce risk:

Fire safety: an Employer’s guide (HSE, Home Office, Scottish Executive, DoE
Northern Ireland), The Stationary Office ISBN 0-113-41229-0.

Observation no. 11: Risk of absence of appropriate Class D extinguisher

During the inspection adequate precautions have not been taken for Class D metal
fires which produce toxic fumes. These metal fires cannot be extinguished by the
use of traditional fire extinguishers. These can be extinguished by smothering them
by dry sand. However the sand must be absolutely dry otherwise explosion may
occur. Extinguishers specially designed for metal fires are to be produced. The
extinguishing agents used may be pyromet, graphite, talk or salt. Therefore design
features, systems and equipment in a building provide to reduce the danger to
person and property by detecting, extinguishing and containing fires.
In this connection the following references may be followed in order to minimise the
risk.

Ireland), the stationary office ISBN-0-113-41229-0.

Observation no. 14: Risk of underground electric cable

During excavation, electricity cables provide the most serious risk. Fibre-optic cables
may carry lots of risk if damaged and are also very expensive to repair. The result of
striking an underground service cause injury or is highly fatal. As with overhead
power lines, any underground service should be treated as live until confirmed dead
by an authority.
Incidents can include shocks, electrocution, explosion and burns from
underground power cables. Therefore before the excavation work begins it is a
common and good practice to check for presence of any of the previously mentioned
services or hazards by using a detection device. A common device used regularly is
a Cable Avoidance Tool more commonly known as CAT scanner is utilized as a
detection device. for good maintenance and control the following references may be
followed.

Electricity and You INDG231HSE Books 1998 ISBN 0-7176-1207-4.

Observation no. 20:Risk of side earth collapse

Side earth collapse due to improper shoring during excavation work for storage of
acid tanks in the refinery. Excavations can be subject to toxic, asphyxiation or
explosive fumes/gases/vapours under different circumstances. It involves high risk
and the problems are very similar to those faced when workers are working at a
height. During our observation we found some unavoidable problems of risk i.e. less
illumination, no sign boards, no proper barricading for the night vehicles, etc. The
main hazard is absence of organised crossing point. We have made some
suggestive measure for the organisation to consider i.e. testing of the nature of
subsoil, use of trench box for the excavation work, crossing point only be allowed at
predetermined point and it should be able to withstand the maximum foreseeable
load and be provided with guard rails and toe boards. Ladders are the usual means
of access and egress to excavations. They must be properly secured, in good
condition and inspected regularly. In this regard you can refer the ILO
recommendation for well-being of workers and the company.

Conclusions

Safety is an essential component in every sphere of a company’s activities in order

to improve well-being of employees, performance and growth of the company. In
spite of all statutory provisions made for environment, health and safety, there is a
worldwide awareness that to achieve development, chemicals must be produced and
used in a sustained way.

During the study I observed many work place hazards such as fire, working at
height, chemical hazards, hazards in excavations, risk of hot work, electric shocks,
confined space, slip trip and fall, etc. and recommended some effective control
measures.

Instruction, Information, Training and Supervision (IITS), monitoring of water quality,

deployment of suitable fire extinguishers, purchase of new equipment, maintenance
of equipment, good housekeeping, use of experienced workers, purchase of
personal protective equipment (PPE) for the experienced workers, purchase of
Cable Avoidance Tool (CAT) which is a detection device used for excavation work,
etc.
In another incident during the excavation work, I have found some major hazards
which involve high risks and it may be fatal to the workers. I have suggested for
experienced workers, proper illumination, crossing points, barricading, good
condition ladders and trench box which could be considered for improvement and
development of the organisation.

It is the sole responsibility of the Manager to take appropriate timely action to rectify
the hazards associated with the development of the company as well as improve the
morale of the employees. Safety is important for everyone at every stage of activity.
As prevention is better than cure similarly at all times safety is first. Safety is the
interest of every individual as well as organisation. In order to combat the problems,
a close co-ordination and collaboration with a holistic and integrated approach is
necessary.
