What is safety? Most of today’s advanced & computer-controlled industrial processes involve large amounts of energy and have the potential for devastating accidents. So, a well-engineered & reliable industrial safety system is essential for protection against those accidents and loss of life. The safety movement was initially started in 1912 with the first cooperative safety congress and the organization of the national safety council of the USA. An industrial safety system is a countermeasure crucial in any hazardous plants such as oil and gas plants and nuclear plants. They are used to protect humans, industrial plants, and the environment in case of the process going beyond the allowed control margins. .
Why industrial safety is necessary? • The thousands of industrial accidents every year caused the realization of the importance of industrial safety with technological advancement in manufacturing. The dangers of human life are increasing day by day. In order to avoid accidents, employees must be aware of industrial safety principles & danger areas of that industry. The following are some reasons why Industrial safety is necessary: • For the safety of people in their workplaces • For protecting the environment against damage from industrial accidents • For protecting businesses against serious losses from damage to plant and machinery • For eliminating accidents causing work stoppage and production loss.
For creating awareness of the good practices available for the delivery of effective safety instrumented systems • For providing basic training in well-established techniques for engineering of safety systems • For assisting engineers and technicians to support and participate in the safety systems activities at their work with good background knowledge of the subject • For being aware of what can go wrong and how to avoid it • Because of safety first rule, all industrial personals must be trained enough about safety aspects of man, machines, and material & other infrastructure facilities for avoiding minor or major accidents. Safety is the first requirement and every industrial employee must learn safety measures even before he starts working on a machine or equipment.
Objectives of Industrial Safety • Industrial safety is needed to check all the possible chances of accidents for preventing loss of life and permanent disability of any industrial employee, any damage to machine and material. • It is needed to eliminate accidents causing work stoppage and production loss. • It is needed to reduce workman’s compensation, insurance rate, and all the cost of accidents. • It is needed to achieve better morale among industrial employees. • It is needed to increase production means to a higher standard of living. • It is needed to prevent accidents in the industry by reducing any hazards.
Planning of Industrial Safety In industries, the no. of fire hazards, accidents, industrial disasters may be reduced through careful safety planning. All those unfortunate events can be avoided by effective planning for safety. Some important considerations for industrial safety are the following: 04 07 01 Cleanliness & dryness of shop floor Proper Safety Training Proper Plant Layout 09 06 03 Proper pressure gauges and other safety equipment Electrically insulation Health & Hygiene 02 08 05 Proper signboards for safety instructions Proper Alarms And warning systems Proper Fire Prevention system
COMMON SOURCES OF ACCIDENTS Accidents take place unexpectedly causing injury & loss of men, machines, materials of that industry. Revolving, rotating, and moving parts of machines may be the sources of danger and require guarding for protection against accidents and many such major sources are following. Low light machine operation areas. Revolving parts like pullies, flywheels, wheels, fans, gears, gear trains, gear wheels, etc. Intermittent feed mechanisms like tool feed of planer, table feed of a shaper, ram feed of power presses, and similar other applications. Electrical wires, switches, motors & control panels. Oily & wet and dirty shop floor. Moving weights, such as in hydraulic accumulator or in slotting machines for counter-balance.
ACCIDENTS AND THEIR TYPES There are various types of common accidents as follows: Near Accident: Accidents with no damage or injury are called near-accidents. Trivial: An accident with very little damage is called trivial. Minor Accident: It is an accident with damage and injury more than trivial. Serious Accident: An accident with heavy damage and a lot of injuries is called Serious Accidents. Fatal: It is an accident with very heavy damage. There may be a loss of lives also.
And the accidents may take place due to the three following causes: • Human Causes • Mechanical Causes • Environmental Causes • Human causes • Very common human causes for accidents are as follows: • Operating or working at an unsafe speed. • Working on unsafe or dangerous equipment or machinery. • Operating machines without knowledge, without safety precautions, or without safety devices. Working for a long duration of work. • Use of improper tools. • Working with mental worries, ignorance, carelessness, nervousness, dreaming, etc.
Mechanical Causes • Very common mechanical causes of accidents are as follows: • Use of unguarded or improper guarded machines or equipment. • The use of old, poorly maintained or unsafe equipment may result in accidents. • Improper material handling system and improper plant layout. • Not using safety devices such as helmets, goggles, gloves, masks, etc. • Environmental Causes • Very common mechanical causes of accidents are as follows: • Working at improper temperature and humidity causes fatigue to the workers for chances of accidents. • he presence of dust fumes and smoke in the working area. • Poor housekeeping, congestion, blocked exits, bad plant layout, etc. • Inadequate illumination. • Improper ventilation may also lead to industrial accidents. • Lack of cleanliness.
Scope of Industrial Safety training for workers Understanding of the Importance of Workplace Safety instructions Workers, machine operators, and other employees should need to know & understand all the safety instructions. They should also understand how a work-related injury can affect their lives. Safety instructions boards must be placed in an appropriate location in order to everybody who enters the workplace can read it first. Identifying Workplace Hazards There are a lot of visible and hidden hazards that can cause accidents. So every worker or employee should need to have a concrete understanding of the types of hazards that exist in the workplace and how to recognize them. Key hazards include machinery; spares, vehicles; electrical hazards; noise, chemicals, stress, and ergonomic hazards, which can all be presented in a visible or hidden form. Understand How to Reduce Risk Every machine operator or worker must be trained to reduce accident risk. They should learn to connect hazards and hazard controls, like sensors, alarms, machine guards, and fire extinguishers. They should always use personal protective equipment like safety shoes, glasses, gloves, etc.
Responsibilities at Work Every employee and workers need to know that they are responsible for knowing and following all safety and health rules and safe work practices, reporting all injuries, using the safety gear that’s provided for them, and reporting any unsafe conditions that they see. Reporting the Problems at Work Once they know how to identify workplace hazards or other safety-related problems, employees must share that information with a responsible officer like a supervisor other individual who are responsible for solving safety problems.
Proper material handling and safety methods Some basic instructions to reduce accidents while moving material, tools, or machines are the following: Use of available material handling aids. • Avoid lifting material from the floor while seated. • Never lift a load over an obstacle. • Stay in good physical shape. • Reduce load sizes when possible. • Do not twist or bend while lifting objects. • Use lighter containers or bins. • Keep lifts between shoulder and knuckle height. • Use conveyor, slides for moving materials.
Using Protecting Products Some basic safety gear used in industrial manufacturing to avoid accidents as follows: Gloves: Industrial work gloves are designed to protect working hands against a range of traumatic hand injuries including cuts, burns, and broken bones from hot surfaces & sharp edges. Eyeglasses: Industrial safety glasses are pretty much the standard in health and safety regulations of various industries. Industrial eyeglasses protect the eyes of chemical, welding, mechanical, and construction. Laborers, plumbers, carpenters, and construction site workers, all of them require high-grade eyeglasses that prevent damage while offering maximum impact protection and clear vision. Ear protector/ Ear Plug: Earplugs or ear protector protects the workers from noise damage. Shoes: Safety shoes are very effective in keeping the feet of industrial workers safe from sharp and heavy objects while working in factories or industries. Helmets: Industrial safety helmets save industrial workers from head injuries. Apron: Industrial safety apron saves workers from chemicals, oils, welding sparks, machines or tools sharp edges. Fire extinguisher: Fire extinguisher is a fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires.
General Safety Precautions while Working in a Workshop • Never lean against the machines. • Keep the work area clean and dry. • Always work in proper lighting. Keep your mind on the job, be alert, and be ready for any emergency. • Never leave tools or other things on machines. • Remove burrs, chips, and other unwanted materials as soon as possible. • Do not operate a machine until you have received operating instructions. • Make sure that all guards are in their place before starting to operate a machine. • Always wear an overcoat or apron and other safety equipment. • The operator must not talk unnecessarily while operating the machines. • Stop the machine before making measurements or adjustments. • Always take help for handling long or heavy pieces of material. • Never try to stop the machine with hands or body. • Only a trained operator should operate the machine. • Defective guards must be replaced or repaired immediately. • The floor should be kept clean and clear of metal chips or curls and waste pieces. • Always check that work-piece and cutting tools are clamped properly before starting the machine.
General Electrical Safety Instructions • Rules and regulations for handling electrical appliances are as follows: • All metallic parts, externally accessible must be earthed. • Overloading of any electric circuit must be avoided. • Electric safety devices like a fuse, circuit breakers over-tripping must be always used where ever required. • All defective and worn-out electric fittings must be replaced. • No untrained persons should be allowed to repair electrical faults. • Always use Rubber gloves, boots with rubber soles, and other safety items while working with high voltage. • The power supply must be switched off during maintenance work. • The only authorized person should be allowed to switch on and off ’ the power supply. • Avoid touching the metal case of any electrical apparatus when it is in operation. • Periodical inspection should be done to detect the damages. • Good standards of safety items must be maintained.
ASSESSING FIRST-AID NEEDS • It’s vital that all employers undertake an assessment of first-aid needs in their work environment. The aim is to achieve a sound overview of the sorts of first-aid arrangements you might need in place on your premises. • HSE advice notes that: • YOU as an employer are best placed to understand the exact nature of your workplace, and decide what you need to provide • first-aid provision must be adequate and appropriate in the circumstances. WHAT TO LOOK FOR - Assessing first-aid needs in your business premises starts with careful consideration of the physical environment. What are the conditions like in the workspace? Are there any obvious hazards that are specific to that environment? - Think about all aspects of the workspace that could contribute to an incident requiring a first-aid response. Pay especially close attention to:
any active machinery • chemicals and other hazardous materials • uneven or elevated floors and walkways • confined spaces • areas exposed to harsh weather conditions • electrical hazards • on-site traffic • sharp or heavy implements • slipping or tripping hazards • any other potential sources of accident or injury
Safetymethods Seven Basic General Industry Safety Rules: 1- Keep work areas clean. 2- Use the proper tool for the job 3- Never work on live equipment
4- Always wear the proper PPE for the work task 5- Make sure chemicals are properly labeled and stored 6- Communicate hazards to other personnel 7- Stop work when needed to address hazards
Conclusion The safety and productivity of people, machines, and processes is a key element of any sustainable business. Industrial safety systems have been used for many years to perform safety functions in the manufacturing industries. In most situations, safety is best achieved by inherently safe process design, Protection layer systems such as sensors, alarms, and personal protection equipment. These may be combined with protective systems to address any residual identified and counter risk. Protective systems can rely on different technologies such as chemical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic. Companies and the operators who manage their production facilities demand the highest level of safety. This high level of safety helps protect personnel, the environment, and assets while maintaining maximum uptime and minimal operational disruption.
