Learn Near Miss Reporting Improve Safety

LEARNINGS
NEAR MISS REPORTING

It gives me immense pleasure to present the manual on “Learning’s derived out of
near misses reported by LPG plants”.
This manual is intended to achieve uniformity in approach across our all LPG plants.
The purpose of this manual is to understand, appreciate and make sure that the
safety is monitored in all applications. In order to implement safety culture in
operation this manual will be handy for consultation by the plants staff.
I am sure that learning will inculcate safety and will further improve safety in
operation in days to come.
We are in the process of expanding our LPG plant operation by introduction of

modern equipments and machineries for which SOPs are in position which will
facilitate the new incumbent to learn LPG operation.
This manual will encourage the people to report near misses and also learn from near
misses to avoid accidents at the plant locations.
This manual has been designed and compiled by experienced officers in plant
operation under the guidance of Regional OPS & HSSE team NR. This step taken by
Northern region officers will go a long way to build safety culture in the region.

About the Report,
Near miss reporting and investigations identify and control safety or health hazards before
they cause a more serious incidents. One of the best ways to avoid further incidents is to
understand how an incident occurs and steps taken to avoid that type of incident in the
future. The incident investigation is a tool. The goal is not to lay blame but to find out
what happened and determine immediate and underlying root causes. Many of the
reported accidents injuries and fatalities would have likely previous unreported near miss
incidents relating to the process. Injuries and illness can be prevented and lives can be saved
by reporting near miss incidents.
NEAR MISS — A near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury, illness, or
damage – but had the potential to do so. Only a fortunate break in the chain of events
prevented an injury, fatality or damage, in other words, a miss that was nonetheless very
near. Near miss describes incidents where given a slight shift in time or distance, injury, ill-
health or damage easily could have occurred, which did not happen this time. Although the
label of 'human error' is commonly applied to an initiating event, a faulty process or system
invariably permits or compounds the harm and should be the focus of improvement in near
miss situations.
In terms of human lives and property damage, near misses are cheaper, zero-cost
learning tools for safety compared to actual injury or property loss. You will agree that
near miss incident can result from many circumstances, Conditions, behavior, machinery
failure and so on. No matter what the condition the events that caused the near miss are
subjected to a root cause. An analysis to identify the defect in the system that resulted in
the error and factors that may either amplify or ameliorate the result must be conducted.
Predominant causes of no-injury accidents are identical with the predominant causes of
accidents resulting in major injuries is not supported by convincing evidence .If we
concentrate our efforts on the types of accidents that occur frequently, the potential for
severe injury will be addressed. Investigation of numerous accidents resulting in fatality or
serious injury by leads to the conclusion that their causal factors are not linked to accidents
that occur frequently and result in minor injury.
Near misses are smaller in scale, relatively simpler to analyze and easier to resolve.
Thus, capturing near misses not only provides an inexpensive means of learning but also has
some equally beneficial spin offs. The process provides immense opportunity for "employee
participation," a basic requirement for a successful workplace safety program. This embodies
principles for behavior shift, responsibility sharing, awareness, and incentives. One of the
primary workplace problems near miss incident reporting attempts to solve directly or
indirectly is to try and create an open culture whereby everyone shares and contributes in a
responsible manner. Near miss reporting has been shown to increase employee
relationships and encourage teamwork in creating a safer work environment.
An ideal near miss event reporting system includes both mandatory (for incidents with
high loss potential) and voluntary, non-punitive reporting by witnesses. A key to any near
miss report is the "lesson learned." Near miss reports can describe what they observed
throughout the event and the factors that prevented loss from occurring. This information
can be used to identify and eradicate the root cause of the near miss incident. The
investigation of near misses should be carried out with full sincerity .The goals in a near miss
3
incident investigation shall include: (1) What happened and determine the immediate and
underlying root cause of the incident (2) Rethink the safety hazards (3) Introduce ways to
prevent a reoccurrence and (4) Establish training needs. All incidents or near miss incidents
should be investigated properly. Incident investigations are a tool for uncovering hazards
that either were missed earlier or require new controls (policies, procedures or personal
protective equipment). Near miss reporting and investigation identify and control safety or
health hazards before they cause a more serious incident. All investigations should focus on
prevention of future incidents, not placing blame. We should conduct an investigation as
soon as possible following the event to gather all the necessary facts, determine the true
causes of the event and develop recommendations to prevent a recurrence. Near miss
investigation tips include investigating as quickly as possible, ensuring the area is safe to
enter, looking for witnesses and asking for input, and recording the scene with photos
(ideally date and time printed) or sketches for future training or communications to other
employees.
Employees should also be encouraged and not be punished for reporting a near miss
incident. This is part of a proactive safety culture for the organization. Unless we make
a visible commitment to institutionalizing workplace-safety practices, the safety program
will remain at status quo. Our support means modeling the desired behavior so other
employees understand that workplace safety is essential. People at all levels of the
organization need to understand why safety is a crucial issue and how to actively &
effectively participate in a workplace safety program. It can be difficult to convey that
knowledge and appreciation to an entire group. Training is one way of beginning the process.
Another way is to identify the amount of time and money that accidents/injuries are costing
the organization -Money that could be used to purchase needed resources. Lack of clarity
about the issues surrounding safety and the consequences of accidents and injuries to the
organization’s overall well-being are often barriers to workplace safety. We need to clearly
and consistently communicate performance expectations about safety. We should spell out
the goals and objectives in terms of reducing the cost and frequency of accidents and
injuries. This will promote open communication and the culture to encourage employees
to report near miss incidents.
Investigation process should be in place for senior management at locations to make

immediate decisions relating to corrective actions. The safety committee is a very good
resource for near miss follow-up and solution to problems, as well as for corrective
actions. During the meeting we should clearly define what the expected results are from a
particular recommendation and set priorities for each action, identifying which ones should
be completed before operations resume. Any recommendations or improvement suggestions
that are not associated with the incident facts or situation should not be included. The
lessons learned and recommended /solutions will go a long way toward preventing incidents
from happening again. When it comes to incident investigation, there are two levels of
formal communication. First, there is an official incident investigation report with a limited
distribution. Second, there is a widely-distributed flyer to communicate contributing factors
of the incident and chief lessons learned from the incident. It should be promptly reported
as the corporate guidelines to all concerned in system and thru mail. The final step of
incident investigation is to follow up on your recommendations for corrective or
preventive actions to be sure they were implemented and are effective. The goal of
follow-up is to prevent a re-occurrence of the incident. Ensure recommendations receive
4
prompt attention by creating an action plan. Keep in mind that some recommendations
may look good on paper but are not that realistic to put into place. Be sure to follow the
progress of recommendations prior to final closure to determine and verify that the
action is completed and fully addressed.
It is necessary to conduct root cause analysis and the basic elements of root cause are:
Materials - Defective raw material, wrong type for job, lack of raw material; Man Power -
Inadequate capability, lack of knowledge, lack of skill, stress, improper motivation; Machine
/ Equipment - Incorrect tool selection, poor maintenance or design, poor equipment or tool
placement, defective equipment or tool; Environment - Orderly workplace, job design or
layout of work, surfaces poorly maintained, physical demands of the task, forces of nature;
Management - Poor management involvement or none at all, inattention to task, task
hazards not guarded properly, stress demands, lack of process, lack of communication;
Methods - Poor procedures or none at all, practices are not the same as written procedures,
poor communication; Management system - Training or education lacking, poor employee
involvement, poor recognition of hazard, previously identified hazards were not eliminated.
Root cause analysis (RCA) is not a single, sharply defined methodology. There are many
different tools, processes, and philosophies for performing RCA analysis. However, several
very broadly defined approaches or "schools" can be identified by their basic approach or
field of origin: safety-based, production-based, process-based, failure-based and systems-
based are all various root cause analysis procedures. You must determine which process best
suits the needs in your case.
One of the most important parts of the near miss process is identifying corrections and
implementing change to ensure the root cause of the near miss is eliminated. Identify
corrective action(s) that will certainty prevent reoccurrence of the problem or event.
Identify solutions that are effective, prevent reoccurrence with reasonable certainty with
consensus agreement of the group, are within your control, meet your goals and objectives
and do not introduce other new, unforeseen problems. Implement the recommended root
cause correction(s). Ensure effectiveness by observing the implemented recommendation
solutions.
Near miss investigation conclusions must be provided to all employees with related job
functions to identify the fundamental reasons why the incident occurred and the
associated root cause(s). This makes all employees aware of the issues relating to the near
miss and helps to find opportunities for eliminating potential risks for the future.
In developing a safety culture, employees and volunteers are able to observe report and
correct hazards & near miss incidents. Once a near miss incident or hazard is identified,
the correction must be made and reported. It is to be developed as safety culture. The
process of infusing a safety culture needs to address an array of motivations. Management
will want to see that the safety culture reduce the cost of insurance / damages etc and
employees will want to feel safer and less prone to injuries. Employees will want to feel
valued for their contributions in terms of identifying and correcting near miss incidents and
hazards.
Successful implementation of an Near Miss Management System (NMMS) requires: (a) Strong
management ownership with team members knowledgeable of the business process and in a
5
position to implement process changes if needed (b) Participation and reporting of as many
incidents as possible and (c) Use of quantitative tools to identify weaknesses and improve
the system.
Near-miss management systems (NMMS) are designed to enable people and institutions to
learn from high-frequency, low-impact incidents (near misses) to prevent low-frequency,
high-impact events (accidents). A comprehensive NMMS includes several important
implementation steps, such as identification of near misses, disclosure and reporting,
prioritization and classification, distribution of the information, analysis of causes,
solution identification, dissemination of actions and knowledge, resolution and closure
of the case.
Auditing a near miss systems performance is a very important step in the near miss
management process. This provides a view of what is working well and what needs to be
improved. An important point in the near miss audit process is inclusion of all levels of
employees in the information/data collection and analysis. This is the only way to find out if
management’s expectations match the employee’s expectations, which is critical for an
effective near miss program. Accordingly all the near miss of 2014-15 have been scrutinized
at regional level by team of expert and now being presented to location for corrective
actions involving all team members.
Workplace safety is about preventing injury and illness to employees in the workplace.
Therefore, it is about protecting the company’s most valuable asset,its workers. Near
miss reporting helps to formulate strategies, reduce workplace injuries and fatalities
and enhance the safety culture of the workforce. A near miss system operated in the
proper format is designed not only to identify near miss incidents but to also help break
down communication barriers among co-workers as well as between management staff and
the employees on the front-line. Effective and lasting change generally comes about when
we all commit to adopting safety as a top priority.
We thanks to team members namely Mr Sunil Brar, Mr Praveen Yadav, Mr Abhishek

Yadav and Ms Sukirti Gupta who have finalized and brought all near misses of Northern
Region of 2014-15 together and thereafter learning was consolidated on near miss.
We are presenting herewith the ready reckoner on “Learning’s thru Near Misses
reporting” during 2014-15 for better understanding, initiating actions to avoid reoccurrence
and taking corrective measures. The teams of experts have commented on each and every
near miss so that learning’s are well disseminated amongst all.

Feedback Tank lorry number UP-83-AT-1392 of M/s Garga International Pvt. Ltd. , reported
to Lucknow LPG Plant for unloading with 2 drivers. However, while going inside
plant for unloading, only the new and untrained driver went inside and parked for
unloading in bay number 1. While connecting the unloading arms to the tank lorry,
our operator had advised the drivers not to operate any valve without his presence,
as he would make the connections and check for leakage turn by turn for different
bays. While our operator was in bay number 2, the driver of the lorry at bay no. 1
opened the liquid valve of the bulk lorry. Since the connection was not yet checked
by the operator, minor leakage started from the joint of coupling screwed onto the
tank lorry valve. Our TL operator on observing the unsafe condition immediately
rushed to bay number 1 and closed the valve. The co-driver when questioned told
that he was not fully trained to drive heavy LPG carrying vehicles, though he had a
driving license to drive heavy vehicles, and was on the lorry for past few days only.
At the loading location, however the original driver was present.

Feedback On 20.06.2014 morning at 3 AM, a truck loaded with bhoosa (wheat plant after
thrashing used for eatable material for animals) 3 feet height beyond the top body,
was going towards railway gate barrier. While passing on road in front of gate, the
truck passed under overhead telephone cable & carried away the telephone cable
along with it. The telephone cable was tied on the roof of house on one side and on
the telephone pole fixed on other side of the road. Due to pulling of telephone cable
along with the truck, the telephone pole on side of the road also fell down in front of
our plant gate. Due to falling of telephone pole, light pole along with aluminum
power cables which was meant for village power supply and fixed on the same side of
the road where telephone pole was fixed also fell on the ground. Hence, the gate got
obstructed and power got tripped instantly due to short circuit and breakage of power
cables. The power cable in front of plant gate buried underground also pulled out due
to sudden jerk and got broken at one place. The power cables could be rectified only
after two days and power could be restored. Till then, plant was operated on DG set.

desired tripping should occur at 11 kg/cm2. This is undesirable as it could have
resulted in development of high pressure in bullet as well as in TT. Considering the

Feedback At hot air sealing machine in filling shed temperature increased upto 260 degree
centigrade more than operating temperature of 210 -220 degree centigrade and heating
system of hot air sealing was not tripped even after reaching the high temperature .Since
the sealing quality was not as per the standard required and seal are found in melting
condition as noticed by the staff at loading point. Staff at loading point immediately
rushed to the hot air sealing machines and switched off the machines and called the
technician and electrician. After checking the details by technician and electrician we have
found that electrical contractor operating the heater stuck up and thermal safety tripping is
not working. Electrician immediately checked and cleaned the electrical system contactor
and checked the thermal safety system and made it operational both electrical contactors
and thermal tripping system. Hot Air sealing made operational and started under the
supervision and found proper working condition. We have analyzed the reason that
thermostat of heater was not properly working and electrical contact stuck which has been
corrected. During checking it has been also observed that test button of the control panel is
not properly operating and not coming back on spring loaded system was also corrected.

This is also the reason of the malfunctioning of the hot air sealing system and all problem
rectified Heater temp was high and the same can create problem in case of any leakage

Feedback During operation of VCM for removal of valve from 14.2 kg cylinder, operator
reported minor leakage between sealing bell and cylinder surface. The VCM was
inspected and face seal of the VCM was found having a cut mark which was causing
gap in the sealing and minor LPG leakage. The face seal was changed immediately and
the problem got rectified. VCM was put back into normal operation.

While doing so, it was found that a street light pole near shed-C had bent from its
lower end. On inspection, it was found that the lower part of the tower had
corroded and light pole had cracked at the point of corrosion. Immediately I
contacted MCC to isolate the electrical connections of that bent light pole. Then I
contacted night shift officer and through him I came to know that Piyala

At around 6:15am, it was found during inspection round that a light tower near
Shed-C had bent from its lower end and while inspecting that area it was found
that the lower part of the tower had corroded and cracked and it had bent from
cracked area as that corroded part had become weak. Immediately the electrical
connection of that tower was isolated from MCC. The pole had bent sideways on
right side and did not cause any harm to any personnel or vehicle. The lower
concrete cover over the pole had also cracked due to excessive force of the bending
of light pole. The corrosion has slowly taken place inside the concrete portion of
pole and was not clearly visible from top.

Feedback At around 12:00 p.m. a truck (HR 57 9677) of empty cylinders was being unloaded
at unloading point. As soon as the angles which are used to support the cylinders
were removed, all the cylinders from the top row and the middle row fell down
. The contract labour immediately moved from the point without hurting
themselves. The incident occurred due to the improper inclination of the truck floor
which was more tilted towards the end portion. The driver was immediately
instructed to take back the truck empty and get the improvements done as soon as
possible.

Feedback All the empty cylinders were removed from the truck with proper precautions and
under the supervision of the shed officer. The empty truck was then taken aside and
inspected for the shortcomings and was found that the floor of the truck was
not leveled properly. It was more tilted towards the back side causing the cylinders
to fall as soon as the angles are removed. The truck driver was informed about the
problems in the truck and was asked to get them corrected. The truck was sent out
empty so that the improvements can be done and the investigation team ordered to

Feedback The subject tanker was taken for decantation in 2nd shift on 04.09.2014, the lorry was
positioned at bay no.4. As per standard operating procedure, the unloading arms were
connected by our TL operator Mr. Anil Kumar. He then crack opened the vapor line
valve of plant side for checking the leakage at the joints of liquid & vapor unloading
arms. The leak test for the liquid unloading arm was found to be ok. But minor hissing
sound of leakage was observed from the vapor line of tank lorry. He depressurized the
line , disconnected the vapor unloading arm & after changing the o-ring at the
connection point , refitted the unloading arm and again tested for leakage. Again there
was hissing sound and slight leakage observed. The operator then closely inspected the
vapor line valve of the tank lorry and observed that the leakage was from the lower
flange welding at the bent pipe section of the valve. Operator had immediately informed
the same to TC, planning & HSSE officer and stopped the decantation procedures.
Alertness and following of SOP by TL operator prevented any major hazard to occur as
failure of the section during unloading process would have had much serious
consequences.

Feedback The plant was under maintenance on 16.11.2014, Sunday. Huge Flames arising from outside
the boundary walls were noticed by security guards at 1330 hrs. The Plant was manned by
three nos. security guards, Sh. Pankaj Singh (Management Trainee) two skilled contract
labor and two number of unskilled contract labours. One of the guards immediately reached
to the site and found that fire has already covered a large area due to presence of dry grass
just outside the main boundary wall in the south direction of the plant. Coincidently the
wind direction was also such that the flames were directed towards the bullet area.
Immediately Fire Hoses were connected to reach to the farthest end of the wall for fire
fighting, hydrants were operated and jet of water was sprayed to the area under fire.
Simultaneously the Dry grass around the affected area was cooled to stop the spread of fire.
It was difficult to judge the origin of fire from the inside of the wall and only flames were
visible so Sh. Pankaj Singh climbed the nearest watch tower to direct the hose handling
team and point the water spray in a proper direction. The team was successful in
extinguishing the fire by 2:30 pm under the leadership of our management trainee Sh.
Pankaj Singh who had undergone three weeks intensive ops course and Hands on Fire
fighting training in Sept 2014. The remaining area of dry grass was sprinkled with water as
precautionary measure. Later one security guard was sent for inspection of the area outside
the boundary wall to look for any unsafe conditions. The wild dry grass outside the plant
along the perimeter the boundary wall were cut and cleared. The wild grass inside the Plant
has been already been cut and cleared. The fire broke out because of burning Bidi thrown by
a villager in the dry grass outside the Boundary wall. Security guards were advised to be
more vigilant and enhance the patrolling of the plant.

Feedback During entry of tank lorries through gate no. 2, the end portion of the chassis of the tank
lorry got entangled with the gate. The gate moved ahead with the tank lorry, which was
noticed by the conductor of the lorry as well as the security guard. The tank lorry was
immediately halted and the angle of the gate which got entangled was removed. Had the tank
lorry moved ahead a little further, it could have sheared off from the back side giving all
possible chances to leakage. Spark generation was also possible because of the metal to
metal contact.

Feedback Six tank lorries taken for unloading in 1st shift and TL no. UP17T6501 of M/s
Shree Rama Roadways was placed at Bay No.4. After connecting the unloading
arms, TL operator followed SOP and after ensuring integrity in all respects
operated the valve handles of the Internal EFCV valve for starting decantation.
However, as soon as he opened the valve, he observed minor leakage from the
valve and immediate icing occurring near the operating lever. He shut off all the
valves of the TL and the bay and called production and planning officer to the
gantry for further action. As the condition of even minor leakage from internal
EFCV valve is highly unsafe hence it was reported as near miss.

5/19/35/47.5kg and having separate loading point for the same. The iron grating has been
provided at loading point to extend the length of loading platform and it was covered with
the rubber mat. The central area of the iron grating was found deteriorated due to rusting.
This area faces maximum weight of commercial cylinders while loading as compare to
other area. As it was covered with the rubber mat it did not come in to notice earlier.
Immediately after witnessing the condition, the loading activity was stopped and that
deteriorated portion was replaced by the new iron grating. The loading activity was

immediate corrective action and find out that dalla of the packed lorry at the end was not
properly supported hence the near miss happen and during checking of the other lorries it
has been found out that one other lorry also not properly set for cylinder stacking and same
lorry sent for corrective action for placing of the cylinders as per stacking process. We
have discussed the other drivers also and found that many times casually they are not
properly providing the support at end due to which while moving the lorry cylinders are
also not firmly positioned resulting falling of one or two cylinders at packed lorry.
We have analyzed all lorries and taken corrective action and instructed all drivers to ensure

tied up with stay plate of the cylinder which potential hazard to the market in
case of the leakage.
Feedback While investigating the process of filling sometimes it has found that no cap

team member we have immediately checked up other stock and on line
cylinders and found that all cylinders were properly tied up delrin caps with
stay plate of the cylinders after sensitizing the staff on filling lines. I have
discussed this issue with all staff and contract workmen for finding out
cylinders with properly tied up delrin cap with cylinders and other safety
checks for their awareness. I have also shared the repercussion of the sending
cylinder in market without proper tying up of delrin cap with the cylinders on
stay plate and other safety check as immediate corrective action. More focus
approach and action points need to be developed in order to ensure that no
cylinders without proper tying of delrin cap with stay plate of the cylinder

Feedback While visiting in filling shed area in morning around 09:45 hrs it has been found that
chain conveyor before washing was not properly running and creating sound due to
chain conveyor was not running through 8 teeth sprocket and touching the sprocket
shaft. Operator near the chain conveyor driving unit stopped the chain conveyor and
asked the technician to resolve the issue, since technician working on carousal hence
attended by the contact workmen who was supporting technician. He started working
after switching off the chain conveyor unit without locking the conveyor driving unit
switch.
Feedback After detail discussion it was found that contract workman started the work on the
chain conveyor without positive isolation of the chain conveyor electrical switch.
Contract workman also did not request for positive electrical isolation of electrical
switch for the chain conveyor from MCC and started the work and not properly
informed to technician and shed officer. This was also earlier pointed out during visit
at Filling Shed and work was stopped immediately on chain conveyor and positive
electrical isolation was requested from MCC by officer production and thereafter
maintenance work again started. After completion of the work again same chain
conveyor switched on from MCC and work completed as per maintenance process as
immediate corrective action. This wrong process adopted by the contract workman
shared by all in Filling Shed as immediate learning and also shared monitoring of
chain conveyor while running and in case of any maintenance related to electrical
equipment proper process need to be adopted to avoid any incident. Correct
maintenance practice need to be followed which is to repeatedly discuss among the
