 PREFACE

I am happy to write a foreword for the safety Audit Report. I have deliberately
decided to implement the hypothesis that whatever the knowledge departments have
is to be used for the illumination for the institute itself.

In every field safety measures are required to be defined, may it be road safety
or fire safety. Consciously or unconsciously one can caught in the danger. Unaware of
safety measures is surely the condition leading to meet the accident. This Audit report
is an eye opener endeavor considered at large by our Department of Chemistry.

I congratulate the faculties involved in it and look forward that they will not
stop at this stage only. They will put their foot on another ladder in order to escalate
the height of the knowledge of this domain.

I wish every success to be ambitious and to reach the goals.

SAFETY POLICY AND FIRE SAFETY REPORT

Introduction:
The K.A.A.N.M.S. Arts, Comm., & Sci. College is established in 1967 as 1st
college of N.D.M.V.P. Samaj, Nashik. The college has been awarded by a Best
College Award in rural areas by Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. In 2nd NAAC
cycle college got “A” Grade. Our collegeis celebrating 50 years of excellence this
year. In this college 16 academic departments with 11 departments having post
graduate courses.
Safety Audit is carried out by Prof. S. S. Gunjal (Head, Department of
Chemistry)and Dr. Mangesh Dushingin the respective fields who examine
management system, facilities and activities of the organization on safety aspects
assess the prevailing hazards, the level of prevention, protection and emergency
management preparedness and subsequently prepare a recommendation to upgrade
safety inputs to avert mishaps and limit consequences.
The objective of safety audit is to:
• To carry out a systematic, critical appraisal of all potential Fire hazards
involving personnel, premises, services & operation method.
• To ensure that Safety & Health System fully satisfy the legal requirements
and those of institutional safety policies, objectives & progress.
• Verify compliance with established standards (regulations, internal
policies and department wise standards of practice).
• Identify deviation from designed and planned operating and maintenance
procedure and standards.
• Identify conditions or operating procedures that could lead to an accident
and significant losses to life or property.
General Safety Audit:
The General Safety Audit encompasses almost all aspects of safety namely the
Safety Management System, Electrical Safety, Fire Safety, Mechanical Safety,
Maintenance, Physical & Chemical and construction safety.
4
 The audit is carried out as per "Code of Practice on Occupational Safety &
Health Audit" to check the compliance with the Factories Act, 1948 and Rules for
respective states, The Environmental Protection Act & Rules, the CEA Regulations,
the Explosives Act & Rules and other important Indian Statutory requirements and
Standards.
Electrical Safety:
In institution electrical safety is an issue where we need to have very careful.
College has taking care about all electrical wirings, plugs and electrical appliances.
Without permission of electrician or department of physics/electronics nobody is
allowed to change any wiring or do electrical work. In near past no any incident
regarding electrical safety was occurred.
The following instructions provide guidelines for handling two types of electrical
emergencies:
1. Electric Shock:
When someone suffers serious electrical shock, he or she may be knocked
unconscious. If the victim is still in contact with the electrical current, immediately
turn off the electrical power source. If you cannot disconnect the power
source, depress the Emergency Power Off switch.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch a victim that is still in contact with a live power source; you could be
electrocuted.
Have someone call for emergency medical assistance immediately. Administer first-
aid, as appropriate.
2. Electrical Fire:
If an electrical fire occurs, try to disconnect the electrical power source, if
possible. If the fire is small and you are not in immediate danger; and you have been
properly trained in fighting fires, use the correct type of fire extinguisher to extinguish
the fire. When in doubt, push in theEmergency Power Off button.
DANGER:
NEVER use water to extinguish an electrical fire.
Sports Safety:
Playing sports can be fun, but it can also be dangerous if we are not careful. We can
help prevent injuries by

5
 • Getting a physical to make sure you are healthy before you start playing
your sport
• Wearing the right shoes, gear, and equipment
• Drinking lots of water
• Warming up and stretching
If student have already hurt himself playing a sport, make sure he/she recover
completely before he/she start up again. If possible, protect the injured part of their
body with padding, a brace, or special equipment. When student do start playing
again, start slowly.
Trained full time physical director for sport activitieshas been appointed. First
aid box, if physical accidents were happened. In case of emergency,travel facility
made available by staff members to the city hospital.
Property Safety:
Institution is very rich in various costly instruments, lab-class equipments,
electrical and electronic appliances in campus. Campus safety is always being taken
by non-teaching and teaching staff. Principal quarter is also situated within the
campus so it is major part of property safety. Special night watchman is also
appointed to taken care of the institutional property.
Fire Safety Audit:-
As per record of Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation,
around 20,000 people die every year till date due to fire incident only. Fire in any
occupancy has potential to cause severe damages to both life and property.
Fire Safety audit is an effective tool for assessing fire safety status in
industries, laboratories, office, hotel, malls, hospitals, schools etc. The audit helps to
identify the areas for improvement in fire safety measures in fire prevention,
protection and mitigation system in case of fire. The audit provides an action plan
which is a useful for fire prevention, mitigation and emergency preparedness.
College is committed to provide a fire safe environment for the faculty, staff,
students and visitors, and to protecting its property through an effective fire
prevention, protection, preparedness and response program. The following policies
are in effect to assist the campus community in working together to maintain an
environment that reduces the risk of fire hazards.

disability. This information will be given to emergency responders during an
emergency situation. The rescue of disabled persons who areunable to evacuate
themselves will be an initial priority for responding fire units. Colleague may assist in
evacuating disabled persons only if this places them in no personal danger. Always
10
ask someone with a disability how you can help before attempting any rescue
technique. Ask the individual if there are any special considerations or items that need
to come with the person. Someone should stay with the disabled person if it does not
place them in additional danger, and someone should meet respondingfire fighters to
report the location of disabled persons. Visually impaired persons should have a
sighted individual guide them to safety. Inform hearingimpaired persons of the nature
of the emergency. Do not assume they know what is happening by watching others.
