The safety Observation and Intervention can proactively prevent
Incidents and injuries through the monitoring, trending and management of safe vs. Un-safe behaviours. It is a simplified behavioural safety initiative to care for workers, instil in them safe work practices and reduce the incidence of at –risk work behaviours.
- Creating a checklist for Observation & Intervention.
(ii) Participative Management on Safety
The rationale for involving employees directly in Industrial Safety and
Hazard Management Programmes is based on the fundamental that “Front line workers have the most experience with how a task is performed every day and can help identify hazards that others may overlook”. Safety Committee is the best participative arrangement to tap into this knowledge.
Workshop Highlights:
- How every employee can participate and contribute directly or
thru or as a Safety Committee member for better Management of Plant’s Safety.
- How to enhance performance of Safety Committee.
- How Safety Committee members can generate awareness and on
the other hand gather more information reg. Hazards / Risks / Un- safe Actions / Unsafe Conditions and Near – Miss Incidents.
(iii) Safety Inspection and Safety Survey
A safety inspection is a documented or formalised procedure that is
often carried by a safety specialist to identify potential hazards whereas a safety survey is an organisations internal systematic evaluation to check safe operations and practices.
This Workshop highlights:
- How to inspect physical conditions and work practices in a
workplace.
- How to prepare checklist prior to inspection.
- How to examine equipments and to ensure all the safeguards are
in their place.
- How to analyse whether any operation presents any hazard.
- How to conduct Surveys on regular basis to detect Unsafe
Conditions due to negligence, malpractices, short cuts, improper storage, m/c wear & tear, fire hazards, no or improper use of PPEs, etc.
(iv) Post Accident Management & Legal Implications
Post accident management depends on the advance preparation of
emergency response plans. The preparation is in accordance to worst case scenario. Post accident legal implications start from reporting reportable accidents to factory Inspectorate to penal actions for contravention of provisions, as per Factory Act 1948 and other statutes, to prevent any contravention. This Workshop highlights:
- The key issues in preparedness planning and Post accident
implementation.
- Need of participation of all employees in Mock- Drills.
- Awareness regarding On-site and Off-site emergency Plans.
- Key elements in accident investigation & analysis report.
- Statutory reporting and compliances after an accident.
(v) Safety in Storage, Handling and Use of Chlorine and other
Hazardous Chemicals.
We’ve a bitter experience of MIC leakage at Bhopal so even a minor
leakage panics the employees and public at large. Several advance engineering controls, PPEs and SOPs are developed to prevent leakage and also to minimise harm.
The Workshop highlights:
- What is a Chemical Hazard & types of Hazardous Chemicals and
How, they are harmful? - Important Provisions of “Manufacture, Storage, Import of Hazardous Chemical Rules 1989”.
- Chemical & Physical properties of hazardous chemicals as per their
MSDS.
- Storage methods with detection alarms in case of emission &
leakage.
- Importance of strictly adhering to SOPs, Work instructions and use
of PPEs.
- Emergency response and evacuation plan in case of bulk leakage
or release.
(vi) Safety Management & Statutory Provisions
Safety is every body’s responsibility. There is an implied moral
obligation on an employer as well as on every employee to ensure that all activities and the place of work remain safe always and there are legislative monitoring and requirements, in the shape of Provisions thru so many statutes respectively for all the industrial activities, on how this is to be achieved.
The Workshop highlights:
- Defines how the organisation is set up to manage Risk.
- Key issues in the management system to identify risks and
implement suitable preventive and control measures. - How to sustain effective & timely communication across all the levels.
- Awareness regarding essential Statutory Provisions given in
important statutes like Factory Act 1948, SMPV(unfired) Rules 1981, MSIHC Rules 1989, Gas Cylinder Rules 2004, Petroleum Rules 2002, Explosives Rules 2008, Boilers Act 1923 and their amendments from time to time.
