RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT

RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT

1.1 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN


1.1.1 Risk Assessment & Damage Control
Risk assessment is the determination of quantitative or qualitative value of risk related to a concrete
situation and a recognized threat.
Accidental risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an
event or sequence of events resulting into fire, explosion or toxic hazards to human health and
environment.
Activities requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and
incident are both onsite and off-site.

Figure: 1: Risk Analysis Strategy

1.1.2 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) for Integrated Cement Project
Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis (HIRA) is a collective term that encompasses all activities
involved in identifying hazards and evaluating risk at facilities, throughout their life cycle, to make
certain that risk to employees, the public, or the environment are consistently controlled within the
organization’s risk tolerance. These studies typically address three main risk questions to a level of
detail commensurate with analysis objectives, life cycle stage, available information and resources.
A thorough Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis, or risk system is the core element in the RBPS
pillar of understanding hazards and risk. The cement manufacturing industry is labor intensive.
Cement industries experiences risk of a number of hazards inherent to the cement production
process. The possible area, places, type of likely hazards identified are as under in Table - 1.

Risk Assessment Report

1.3.4 Disaster Management Plan

Definition
A major emergency in a work is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life. It
may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside the work.
It would require the assistance of emergency services to handle it in effective manner.

Scope
The aim of hazard control and disaster management is concerned with preventing accidents
through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection, by which it is possible to reduce the
risk of an accident, but it is not possible to eliminate it. Since, absolute safety is not achievable; an
essential part of major hazard control must also include mitigating the effects of a major accident.
An important aspect of mitigation is emergency planning, i.e., identifying accidents as soon as
possible, evaluating the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency
procedures, both on-site and off-site, that would need to be adapted in the event of an emergency.

Objective
The objectives of the emergency plan will be:
a) To protect plant personnel and general public.
b) To prevent and minimize damage to property and to the environment.
c) To help persons at site in a systematic manner meeting a disaster situation.
d) To restore the affected areas back to normal as soon as possible.
e) To review accident after it has occurred and to evaluate company’s efforts in order to improve
emergency management response in the future.

To deal with the below emergencies, the Emergency Plan is prepared.


S. No. Area Possible Emergency Hazard Preventive Measures to be adopted
a) Stores Possibility of catching Fire • Suitable fire extinguishers, fire hydrant system
fire in stores materials and fire buckets will be provided for fighting the
fire during emergency.
• Stores staff will be imparted the training for
first aid firefighting to prevent/extinguish the
fire at initial stage.
b) Oil Storage Possibility of catching Fire and • Fire hazard area will be declared as “No
Tank - HSD fire at the oil storage Explosion Smoking and No Naked Flame Zone” and
Tank tanks and fuel oil regular check- up and maintenance of the fire
handling system and prone area will be done.
Oil spillage from • Suitable fire extinguishers and fire hydrant
storage tanks system will be provided at the tank enclosure
and inside the pump room.
• Unloading of petroleum in bulk will not be
allowed between sunset and sunrise. Tanker
engine will be switched off before unloading
and the tanker will be earthed.

Apart from this, all the employees will be provided with helmets and safety shoes. It will be
statutory on the part of the company employees to wear the appropriate safety gear given while
attending duty in the factory.

1.3.5.2 Off-Site Emergency Planning

The off-site emergency plan is vital part of any hazard control system. It is based on those accidents
identified by the works management, which could affect people and the environment outside the
works. Thus, the off-site plan follows logically from the analysis that took place to provide the basis
for the on-site plan and the two plans therefore complement each other. The roles of the various
parties that may be involved in the implementation of an off-site plan are described below. The
responsibility for the off-site plan will be likely to rest either with the works management or with
the local authority. The plan must identify an emergency coordinating officer who would take
overall command of the off-site activities. Consideration of evacuation may include the following
factors:
 In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g. an oil storage tank), houses close to
the fire are likely to need evacuation
 If fire is escalating very fast it is necessary to evacuate people nearby as soon as possible.
 In acute emergency people are advised to stay indoors and shield themselves from the fire.
Organization
Organizational details of command structure, warning systems, implementation procedures,
emergency control centres include name and appointments of incident controller, site main
controller, their deputies and other key personnel involved during emergency.

of relevant Personal Protective Equipment’s (PPEs) will help to minimize the health hazards and
incidental casualties. So, it is safe to say that there will be no major risk involved due to the
