MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The cement manufacturing is done by using Calcareous & Argillaceous as main raw materials. The
coal is used for providing heat for clinkerisation which is an intermediate product. When Clinker is
mixed with Gypsum, OPC is produced and when clinker is mixed with Gypsum & Fly Ash, PPC is
produced.
The following steps are involved in cement manufacturing process:
1. Mining/Quarrying: Mining of calcareous material having min. Cao content 42.5% is required
or alternatively high and low grade lime stone quarries are developed to meet out average
requirement.
2. Crushing: Lime Stone obtained from quarry is crushed in single rotor double impactor to
reduce its size from 1.2 m (edge to edge) to ≤75 mm for Vertical Roller mill. During crushing,
dust generates causing pollution for which Bag filters are installed to control the pollution.
3. Raw material Grinding: Grinding will be done in VRM to reduce the size to 12 % R on 90 µ
known as raw meal. The hot gas is supplied at 250 o
C during raw material grinding for
demoisturisation up to <1 % and better grind ability. The feed moisture will be maintained
within 6 – 8 %. The corrective/additive materials viz. Bauxite, Laterite/Iron Ore will be added
as per raw mix design for grinding with lime stone. The Pre-heater exhaust gases will be
utilized for drying/demoisturisation. In case Kiln is not running, hot gas will be supplied by
hot gas furnace. Cyclones, RABH etc. are provided in the circuit for recovery of raw meal and
energy /waste heat utilization. The raw meal is stored in CF/ Blending Silo.
Page 8 of 73
4. Coal Grinding: Coal will be ground/pulverized in VRM. The feed size for VRM is ≤ 55mm.
The feed moisture will be controlled to 8 %. Hot air from cooler vent will be supplied at
temperature ≤ 300 o
C to demoisturise up to < 1%. The product fineness will be maintained
at15 % R on 90 µ. The pulverized coal will be stored in fine coal bunker connected with bag
filter for degusting.
5. Pyro-processing:
(i). Preheating & Calcinations: Raw meal will be extracted from blending silo and fed to
Preheater top cyclones which descends through cyclones to calciner and ultimately to
Kiln. The flue gases coming out from kiln and cooler will be counter-currently passed
through calciner and cyclones upwardly. The heat transfer will take place to raw meal
in Preheater and calciner decomposing lime stone as under:
800 o
C
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
The raw meal temperature at kiln inlet coming in will be >800 o
C and degree of
calcination from 65 % to 90% will be achieved before feeding to the kiln. The hot
gases from cooler will be supplied through TAD to KRTP/Calciner for increasing
degree of calcination.
(ii). Clinkerisation: The raw meal enters at kiln inlet in Pre-heating zone after completing
calcination i.e. decomposition of lime stone, then to presintering/transition zone, to
sintering/burning and cooling zone. The temperature inside kiln will be increased by
adjusting required coal feed and achieved maximum temperature will be achieved in
burning zone up to 1450-1500 o
C at which clinkerisation/silicate- formation will take
place as under:
SiO2
+ 1450 o
C 3CaO SiO2
CaCO3 + Al2O3 2CaO SiO2
+ 3Cao Al2O3
Fe2O3 4Cao Al2O3 Fe2O3
Page 9 of 73
The kiln speed, raw meal feed and coal feed will be adjusted after optimization of
system. The produced clinker phases i.e. C3S, C2S, C3A & C4AF will be discharged
to cooler.
(iii). Cooling: Cooling will be done through cross bar ‘SF Cooler’ by quick air quenching
to arrest glass-content of clinker avoiding formation of periclase. After cooling, the
temperature of Clinker comes out to be around 90o
C.
6. Clinker Storage: Clinker will be stored in covered yard and silo to avoid moisture.
7. Cement Grinding: Clinker with Gypsum up to 5 % will be ground to produce OPC. Clinker
with gypsum up to 5% and fly ash from 10 to 35 % is ground to produce PPC as per IS 1489
part-1.
8. Packing & Dispatch: Cement after grinding will be conveyed to storage silo and from there
extracted by aeration to packing plant for loading to wagons/ trucks.
PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT:
Process Safety Management describes the safety parameters to be noted when a machine/equipment
is in operation or in maintenance.
LIME STONE CRUSHING, STACKING AND RECLAIMING:
Lime stone mined from the mines is brought to the Plant by Dumpers of 50MT capacity. The size of
the material received is 1.2 m (edge to edge). This is crushed by the LS crushers to the size of 75 mm.
There are TWO crushers of IMPACT type.
The crushed LS of 75 mm size are taken through a series of Belt conveyors to a STACKER for
piling.
Details of Equipments:

Person that need to enter any metal containers for inspection and repair work are allowed to use hand
lamps and electric tools with a maximum 48V only.
REVERSE AIR BAGHOUSE – I & II:
RABH - Process Description
a. Overall de-dusting description:
The dust laden gasses from Preheater fan outlet & raw mill fan outlet enter into the bag house where
the dust is collected in the bags & dust free gases escape out.
Since the temperature of the gases entering the baghouse is high when the mill is not running, air
dilution cooling is being provided by Dilution air fan.
Bag House ID Fan is positioned between outlet of Bag House and Stack.
Filter Bag Cleaning Operation:
The outlet damper of the compartment to be cleaned closes, cutting off the main dust laden gas
supply. The reverse air damper will open and clean hot gas will flow through the fabric in the reverse
direction. The bags are prevented from totally collapsing by steel rings surrounding the bags. The
Page 19 of 73
collapsing action plus the flow of gas dislodges the dust from the inside of the bags. This dust falls
into the hoppers below while the reverse air stream travels back through the open inlet damper to the
inlet plenum and to the remaining operation compartments.
The reverse air flow occurs for about 30seconds (typical) after which the reverse air damper closes
stopping all air flow and allowing dust to settle. After a settling period of approximately 30 seconds
(typical), the reverse air damper opens and the outlet damper opens. This action gradually reinflates
the filter bags. This keeps the bags from popping open that is detrimental to bag life. The reverse air
damper then closes, and the compartment is now back on-line. The remaining compartments are
cleaned in turn until each has been cleaned. The bag house cleaning cycle will not start unless the
cleaning interval timer, or the cleaning resets the cycle – set point is reached.
The time span between cleaning cycles will be dependent on various factors, the most significant
being inlet dust loading. Each bag house can and should be set up for its own conditions. An optimum
timing sequence should be determined taking into account pressure drop versus frequency of cleaning
and bag life. The total time cycle is adjustable as well as the individual settings. Final settings of
timers, total cycle time per compartment and interval between complete cleaning cycles of all
compartments should be determined after the units are placed in operation. The best condition is the
shortest possible cleaning time per compartment with longest possible interval time between
compartment cleaning. The time settings for cleaning cycle can be changed from the PLC. The bag
house cleaning interval timer can be adjusted to change between baghouse cleaning cycle.
b. REVERSE AIR FAN:
Safety during operation and reporting procedure:
In order to obtain the best possible bag life, the following points should be strictly adhered to:
• The bag house must be started, operated and maintained strictly as per the guide lines laid down
under this Operation & Maintenance manual
• All temperature peaks beyond 260˚C must be reported to Alstom Projects India limited,
immediately.
• Daily records of the temperature should be maintained in a strip chart recorder and the same
should be forwarded to Alstom Projects India limited on a monthly basis. The bag house should
always be operated at a temperature below 240˚C. The gas composition and moisture should be
analyzed and recorded in each shift. The operating temperature should be at least 40˚C above
the dew point temperature. The records are to be sent to Alstom Projects India limited every
month.
Page 20 of 73
Any abnormal condition experienced by the bag house such as very high dust load, shock transmitted
because of an explosion in the circuit, all high temperature excursions beyond 260˚C must be
reported within 24hour of the occurrence over a fax/e-mail. In case of any damage APIL
representative will take action for determining the cause. No repair/ modification shall be carried out
before such investigations are completed by APIL representative.
• No adjustment of cleaning cycle should be done without prior approval from Alstom Projects
India Limited during warranty period.
• Bags must be kept at recommended tensioning level as mentioned elsewhere in the Operating &
Maintenance manual. Do not allow the bag tensioning to drop below the specified level. Re-
tensioning of bags is important for long bag life.
• The bag house should always be operated with bleed in dilution air during kiln running
condition in order to restrict the temperature to 220˚. Proper mixing of cold air and hot gases
from the pre-heater should be ascertained before it is allowed to pass through the bag house.
COAL MILL:
The raw coal from coal hoppers will be metered and fed into mill for grinding into fine powder, two
VRM’S of capacity 58 MT/hr each are installed for raw coal of size <55 mm to fine powder of size
<15% residue on 90 micron. The raw coal enters into VRM, the material will move on the mill table
due to its rotation, when the material enters between the fixed rollers mounted on spindle and the
table, it gets ground into fine powder. Hot air will be supplied into mill for removing moisture
resulting in better performance of the mill. The grounded material i.e. fine coal will lift to classifier
by the air supplied into the mill for separating the fines and coarse material. The coarse material will
fall back on to the grinding zone for further grinding and the fines will be carried away into a Bag
house for collecting the finer material, the collected material will be transported to fine coal bins
through screw conveyors and F.K. pumps for storage and for further coal dosing.
The fine coal will be extracted from coal bins by aeration and it will be metered by weigh feeders and
will be conveyed for firing in Kiln & Pre-Calciner by F.K. Pumps.
Safety Precautions & Consideration in handling of Raw Coal & Coal Mill Operation :
• Safe operation of the system requires use of coal with lesser volatile matter
(<15%)
• Do not store different types of coal in the same pile.
• Operation and maintenance of the coal mill related system should only be
performed by well trained personnel.
Page 21 of 73
• Carrying the wireless system is a must in coal mill area to have a on the hand
contact with CCR.
• Attendants, operators, mechanical technicians or electricians and labours must
work under the supervision of an individual who understand the hazards
associated with work in the coal mill system. This also applies to contractors.
• A hot work permit is required for any welding or cutting in all areas defined by
the scope.
• Proper care is to be taken for cleaning up coal piles.
The vertical roller mill with air-swept classifier is designed for operation with drying gases.
Under the following conditions, however, there is a risk of fire and pulverized coal
explosions:
-an inflammable substance
-an oxygen concentration sufficient for combustion
-an effective ignition source
-a sufficient pulverized coal fineness
-a sufficient pulverized coal-air ratio
Warning!
Keep the grinding-drying plant clean to prevent the propagation of a potential explosion or
fire. Any deposits of pulverized coal on ducting’s and floors must be removed immediately.
Cleaning intervals are a must adopted.
A smoldering fire can develop into an open fire when supplied with oxygen.
A draft may whirl up the pulverized coal which may then mix with the oxygen contained in
the air and form an explosive mixture.
Before opening the plant ensure that all CO indicators show safe values.
Risk of burning!
In addition, check the plant parts (finished product silo, filter etc.) for unusually high
temperatures.
The person opening the inspection doors must wear fire protective clothing. Escape routes
must exist and are to be clear.
Before carrying out any maintenance work inside the mill, ensure that the mill has been
sufficiently vented. If necessary, wear adequate protective equipment.
Page 22 of 73
If the safety limit values (CO and Temperature values) are exceeded, stop the grinding process
(auto interlock) and flood the plant with quenching gas.
Warning!
• Danger of suffocation!
When the plant is flooded during standstill, be aware that quenching gas might escape from
certain plant parts. Therefore before entering the plant, make sure there is no danger of
suffocation.
• Because of the pressure- shock proof design of the mill and classifier housings, no
welding, grinding, and flame cutting work or other modifications are allowed on
these housings.
Since the pulverized coal bag houses present an explosion and fire hazard, extreme care should be
taken when entering them.
Bag House entry may be required due to the following circumstances:
• Alarm Condition of broken bag detector.
• Routine Planned maintenance on bag houses.
• Flow Problems with coal in the bag house hopper
Safety Precautions & Consideration in Maintenance of Coal Mill Bag House :
Entering the baghouse
Under all circumstances, prior to entrance into baghouse, approval must be
received from CCR.
• The baghouse should only be entered when confined space conditions are met and a permit is
issued
• Once these conditions are met turn off the air supply to the baghouse pulsing unit and bleed
the air manifold, lock and tag out the inlet valve for the compressed air to the baghouse.
• If CO is not increasing, open the entry door and confirm that atmosphere is safe for operation.
• Check internal conditions carefully.
• Before entering into the bag house ensure that lock out/tag out is met.
If at any time during the bag house entry the CO analyzer indicates a rising CO concentration
in the bag house, all personnel must evacuate the area immediately. The doors must be closed
and the CCR will initiate an inerting sequence after all locks and tags are removed.
Superiors should be notified as soon as possible if the CO levels in the bag house indicate a
smoldering fire during entry.
Page 23 of 73
Bag replacement
The main reason for bag house entry is to replace a broken bag. There are a few important points to
consider.
• Through the bag change process, CO should be monitored for any increase. If CO is seen to
be rising, all personnel should leave the dust collector, close the door and exit the coal mill
area. Once clear initiate an inertizing sequence.
• A broken bag results in coal contamination of the upper plenum of the baghouse. It is
important to clean the upper plenum completely before replacing the broken bags. This is to
ensure that no coal dust falls into the clean side of the bags. Coal collecting on the clean side
of the bags may cause bag breakage due to smoldering.
• Always replace the broken bag, as well as all the bags surrounding the broken one. The bags
surrounding the broken bag will already have coal in them and will most probably be
the next to fail.
• Always inspect the bag house hopper for obvious signs of bag misalignment or damage.
1. Pyro processing – Clinkerisation
The required quantity of raw meal from C.F silo will be extracted by aeration into a kiln feed bin then
it will be metered and fed into Preheater top cyclones by bucket elevators. The material fed at the top
cyclones will be heated up with flue gases coming up from coal fired Kiln as the material and gas
flows counter currently and heat transfer takes place. Hot gas will be supplied to the material from
cooler through TA Duct for further heating and coal firing in calciner thereby increasing the degree of
calcination. At kiln inlet the material will attain a temperature of 950 o
C and 94 % calcination, due to
kiln rotation and its inclination the material will travel towards discharge end. The material moves to
pre-heating zone for further heating by firing coal at the other end, the material will enter to
calcination and burning zone and here the temperature will increase to 1450 o
C, here the complete
calcination and clinker formation will takes place, due to kiln rotation clinker nodulization takes
place.
Safety procedures to activities at or near cyclones during operation:
Page 24 of 73
During operation, hot raw meal may accumulate in cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes. Such
accumulations will often have a disruptive effect on the process, entailing need for frequent
inspections and subsequent clean-out operations. Any inspection, as well as cleaning, of cyclones,
riser ducts and feed pipes, however, involve certain risks for the personnel assigned to such tasks. For
minimization of such risks, strict compliance with the following rules must be ensured.
Before any such work is initiated, it is essential to ensure that the voltage to all control cabinets for air
blasters is cut off. Check also that all blasters are cut off from air supply by closing the compressed
air valve & the blasters have been vented.
A minor negative pressure must be maintained in the system whenever clean-up operations are being
carried out. This negative pressure will reduce the likelihood of any outflow of hot air and dust which
would pose danger to the personal involved in the clean-up operations. Check that a negative pressure
is present at the specific location; this is done by cautiously opening the inspection holes. If this is not
the case, the clean-up procedure must be interrupted.
To avert the risk in terms of an outflow of dust or gas, it is a mandatory requirement that anyone
working on the Pre-heater installation is equipped with respiratory protective equipment (class P1) as
well as goggles.
During operation, any cleaning of cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes must ALWAYS be carried out
from the outside. It is essential not to allow anyone access to a cyclone which is in operation.
Any person(s) involved in clean-up operations must know the exact routes of escape.
Operating personnel involved in the inspection or cleaning of cyclones, riser ducts or feed pipes must
be equipped with face masks, protective helmets, long heat insulating, fire proof gloves and wooden-
soled boots or other appropriate footwear.
Where work may involve presence of substantial dust accumulations or where there is a risk of being
hit by falling objects, the operator undertaking the operation must be equipped with a safety belt and
lifeline which must be held by an assistant who is positioned at a safe location, while maintaining
constant eye contact with his colleague.
To reduce the extent of any burn injury, each storey of cyclone Preheater must be provided with at
least one cold-water shower.
Prior to opening any clean-out doors or hatches, check through the small inspection hole for any
presence of dust accumulations behind the door/hatch, dust which will flow out when the door/hatch
is opened.
Due to the attendant risk of hot dust or raw meal flowing out, the personnel involved must never be
standing directly on the ordinary floor or on a platform when opening the clean-out doors and
Page 25 of 73
hatches. Instead, scaffolding, raised above the floor level, and fabricated from non-flammable
materials, must be used to carry out such activities. In case a platform is used, it must be designed as
a grate to allow hot material, if any, to fall through the gaps without any possibility for such material
to accumulate.
In case of an accident, attention must be focused on the specific direction of the material flow and the
potential damage it may cause, for example in relation to electrical cables etc…
In case of dust accumulations, attempts to remove such accumulations must be made before any
doors/hatches are opened. This is done through the small inspection hole. Dust accumulations and
caking are best removed by means of air lances.
When cleaning cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes, the operation must be started from the bottom.
This will prevent a build-up of any dislodged material in accumulations and caking below, instead
allowing them to be moved smoothly through the system. In connection with the performance of this
operation, due attention must be given to the risk of hot material surges coming from cyclones at
higher elevations.
If during operation hot material is to be extracted from cyclone Pre-heater or a tertiary air duct, this
must be done in a safe manner. The outflow of hot material must not involve any risk(s) to the
personnel or equipment.
The hot material must be allowed to cool off by itself, i.e. un-aided (use of hot water or the like may
cause serious steam explosions). The necessary shields and guards must be installed.
To avoid the risk of any person(s) engaged in work in the splitter gate of the Pre-heater being trapped,
it is essential to ensure that all safety guards and shields have been installed. If work is to be done
while the safety guard is not installed, the emergency stop of the splitter gate must be activated for
safety reasons.
Anyone engaged in activities on any of the storeys of the Pre-heater, involving presence of sluices,
must be fully familiarized with the risk of impacting from the activation arms of the sluice flaps. This
risk can be reduced by posting of signs or by erecting protective guards.
SAFETY PROCEDURES DURING OPERATION OF ROTARY KILN PLANT:
The high temperatures inside the kiln represent the major hazards for personnel working in proximity
of the rotary kiln.
Page 26 of 73
Pulsation in the pyro process and in the material feed may, from to time, give rise to a transient
blowout of hot dust and air from the inlet and outlet seals of kiln
For this reason, the necessary precautions must be taken to equip any persons working in the
immediate proximity of kiln with appropriate clothing and safety equipment to protect them against
such extreme impacts.
Because of the attendant danger of burn injuries, signs should be posted to warn about the hazards
associated with any physical contact with kiln shell.
Protective guards must be installed around the points of engagement between kiln tyres and
supporting rollers and between kiln tyres and thrust roller to eliminate the risk of injuries due to
crushing, entrapment or pinching. These guards must remain fitted throughout the operation of the
rotary kiln.
The supporting roller bearing housings are provided with inspection ports which cover the associated
inspection openings in which protective grates are fitted. To eliminate any risk of entrapment, which
may occur, for example, when stretching a hand/arm into the bearing housing, these grates must
always be fitted while the kiln is in operation.
CLINKER COOLER:
The clinker leaves the kiln at around 1450˚C and fall down onto the cooler inlet zone, after which
they are transported slowly down through the cooler. While being transported through the cooler the
clinker are constantly exposed to a cooling air stream from below with the purpose of cooling down
the clinker as well as recuperating heat back to the kiln system.
The cooling air is provided by the 12Fans installed for the cooler. When the cooling air passes up
through the clinker bed, it is heated by the clinker and for the first part of the cooler the heated air is
drawn back into the kiln system and used as combustion air. Approximately 45% of the total cooling
air is returned back to kiln system and recuperates approximately 75% of the clinker heat back to kiln
system. The remaining air is extracted as excess air from the Cooler.
The excess air extracted from the outlet end of the cooler and is de-dusted in the cooler ESP filter.
The clinker dust from the cooler filter is transported to clinker conveyor.
At the outlet of the cooler a clinker crusher is installed for breaking the lumps that are larger than.
~25-30 mm.
Safety Instruction:
• Requirement for work inside the SF Cooler: Due to safety reason no personnel must enter the
Cooler when the flame is ignited or being ignited in the pyro processing system. Before
personnel enter the machine ensure that there is enough oxygen in the air and that no toxic
Page 27 of 73
fumes exist. Normal lock out procedures for electrically equipment must be followed. Also
make sure that all valves in the hydraulic lines are closed before any work is done inside the
Cooler.
Safety and Protection:
• No entry IN and around the Cooler is allowed when flame is lit in the Kiln.
• Certify that Cyclones and Calciner are empty and free of material before entering the Cooler
• Air Blasters are empty and isolated such that air cannot flow into the air tank intentionally or
unintentionally.
• Inspection of the Under grate compartments and the Mechanical Flow Regulator’ s must be
carried out exercising care as oscillating hydraulic drive bars will cause danger if started during
inspection.
ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR (ESP):
An Electrostatic precipitator (hereafter referred to as precipitator) removes dust from flue gases by
charging the dust particles through a high voltage. The dust particles are collected on the collecting
plates and to lesser extent, on the discharge electrodes.
The dust particles are detached from the electrodes by means of Vibration arrangements, and the dust
is conveyed out of the hopper by means of conveying equipment.
Safety Instructions:
• Operating Situation : In the operating condition all access doors on the precipitator are locked
and therefore the precipitator presents no particular danger to personnel or surroundings
• External inspection and service work : No contact with rotating parts or parts which are in
contact with high voltage and flue gas during operation
• High Voltage :
Safety measures against high voltage in trunking or insulator compartment and relevant working
condition
• The general safety procedures must be known.
• Disconnect the power supply to all transformers/rectifiers at the distribution board.
• The earthing connector placed on the rectifiers or between the rectifier and insulator
compartment must be locked in the earthed positioned, earthing the precipitator and rectifier.
Page 28 of 73
• The power supply to the heating elements in the insulator compartment must be disconnected at
the distribution board.
• The high voltage distribution parts must be earthed with earthing cables at all hatches and
manholes, hereby earthing the discharge system.
• Before entering the ESP through the bottom hopper hatch, the high voltage distribution parts
must be earthed with earth cables.
Before entering the precipitator:
The high voltage safety points to be added.
• In precipitators consisting of several separate electrode systems across the flue gas flow, each
individual system must be earthed.
• Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the conveying equipment in the
hopper
• To prevent fan operation, the power supply must be disconnected at the distribution board
• Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the heating elements in the hopper
• Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the rapping drives, heating elements,
vibrators, Purge air fan, Hot air fan, rapping devices etc.
Disconnect compressed air supplies, if any..
• In case where production is to continue by means of a by-pass while there is access to the
precipitator, the valves before and after the precipitator must be sealed and locked.
• Ozone Content :
The high voltage in the precipitator produces ozone gas, which can cause people in the
precipitator to suffocate. Ozone has a very distinct and characteristic smell, and has to be
removed by ventilating the precipitator. If the smell has gone after ventilation, the danger has
also gone. Where there is doube, the ozone content should be determined with an analyzer. The
concentration must not be higher than 0.7 ppm, if that also satisfies local requirements.
• Important, actual dust and flue gas
Checks must be made for toxic substances in the air and dust on the basis of the actual operating
situation, for which the raw materials involved should be known. The raw materials and their
precise treatment change almost continuously, with the composition of the air and dust changing
at the same rate.
Fire risk
Page 29 of 73
In precipitators where there may be a risk of fire or self-ignition in dust deposits, greater vigilance
must be exercised with regard to flashes when opening the inspection hatches.
CLINKER STORAGE AND TRANSPORT:
The cooled clinker will be transported to Clinker Stockpile & Silo for storage by Deep Pan
Conveyors. Clinker will be extracted from clinker storage silo by Deep Pan Conveyor provided
underneath the silo and will be transported to Cement mill hoppers by Deep pan conveyors and
Reversible shuttle Belt conveyors.
Safety Instructions:
• Before working on rotating or moving parts, ensure that these are stationary and cannot start to
move during work.
• Do not reach into rotating parts and maintain an adequate distance in order to avoid clothing or
hair becoming caught up.
• Special care has to be taken in case of repair and maintenance work on inclined conveyors.
Especially when disassembling backstops, shafts, and drive units.
• If the inclined conveyor strand is loaded only on one side, the conveyors may start to move, e.g.
due to conveying material being still inside the pans and buckets.
GYPSUM AND WETFLYASH:
Gypsum & Wet Flyash are stored in a covered yard. These materials are then collected by a Crane &
dumped in to respective hoppers. From the yard the material is conveyed to hoppers through belt
conveyors.
Safety device for Rotor:
Safety device is meant for protection of rotor from over load and uncrushable material. Under normal
condition, this device is the gap adjustment for breaker plate. The bottom part of the breaker plate is
supported by stud and helical spring. Due to over load the breaker plate will be compressed against
spring and oversize trempiron material will fall down. Pre compression of the spring is set to suit the
material.
BALL MILLS:
The materials Clinker, Gypsum and Fly Ash will be metered by weigh feeders and fed into Ball mills
by belt conveyors. When the material enters into the ball mills the grinding media present in the mill
will hit material due to centrifugal action created by mill rotation there by material will be ground to
Page 30 of 73
fine powder. Mill vent is provided by a mill vent fan to provide velocity for material discharge. The
discharge material will be transported to a separator through air slide and bucket elevator for
separating the fine particles and coarse particles, in separator a rotor & stator assembly will be there,
air will be supplied into it, when the material enters into separator, due to the rotor rotation and
dispersion of material due to air flow the fines and coarse will be separated, the fines will be carried
away by the air to cyclones for separating the fine material and air and the coarse particles will once
again fed into mill inlet by air slide for further grinding to fine powder. The separator speed can be
adjusted to get required fineness of the cement. The fines thus collected in cyclone will be transported
to silo through air slides for storage and packing. A part of air separated at cyclone will be
recirculated to separator and part of it will be vented out into atmosphere through bag filters after
collecting the fine dust present in the exhaust air. One of the Ball mill (Cement Mill- 01) is being
fitted with Roller press. The capacity of Ball Mill Cement Mill- 01 is 280tph & Ball Mill Cement
Mill-02 is 165tph.
Safety precautions (General notes on safety for the UMS Mill)
• Dust masks should be used to extent deemed necessary(for example, in connection with clean-
up operations) and hearing protectors must be used by anyone while inside the mill building
when the mill is in operation or if noise intensive tolls(such as angular grinders, jackhammer
drills or pneumatic spanners)are used.
• Goggles MUST be worn by operators involved in grinding and torch-cutting operations.
• It is essential to ensure that there are no persons inside the mill, on or under the mill prior to
initiating any turning operation, given the danger of structural collapse or exposure falling parts.
• When the mill is to be turned in side-heavy condition, it is very important to ensure that the mill
is under control at all times and that unintended turning of the mill is prevented by means of
wires and pulley block.
• In operation, ball mills are very noisy and the noise level (sound pressure) will normally be
higher than 110Dba. Therefore, hearing protectors must be used by any personnel working in
the mill plant while the mill is in operation.
• Requirement of work inside the Mill :
Prior to entry in to mill, it is essential to make sure that effective lockout of mill feed has been
affected. Net, the mill must be turned until a set of manholes are at the top position,
simultaneously ensuring that the charge is in neutral position, i.e. in horizontal position. In
actual practice this is done by turning the mill slightly beyond the point where the manholes are
in top position, subsequently allowing the mill to be turned back to the desired position.
Page 31 of 73
Any person who is unwell should never be allowed access into a mill. Any person who is about
to enter the mill must never be unaccompanied. At least one person must be at the manhole
outside the mill, having contact to the person inside the mill, either in the form of visual contact
or through verbal communication. The mill charge is uneven and difficult to walk on,
particularly in the coarse grinding compartment, and due care is needed to avoid falling.
• Replacement of Lining Plates :
When replacement of lining plates and grates is required, adequate precautions are needed to
prevent the plates and/or grates from falling down on any person(s) or on the unprotected mill
shell. In case of the lining plates falling down on other lining plates, this may cause fragments
of the plate to be knocked off. Endangering the personnel assigned to perform take inside the
mill. Scaffolding inside the mill will be necessary to ensure safe working conditions.
MVR:
The metered quantities of Clinker, Gypsum, Fly Ash will be into MVR by belt conveyors and in the
mill the materials will be ground to fine power as soon as the material enters between rollers and
rotating table, hot air will be supplied to the mill for removing moisture present in the material and
the fine powder will be lifted to the classifier by supplied air. In the classifier, the fines and coarse
will be separated and the course will fall back on to the table for further grinding and the fines will be
lifted to Bag houses for collecting the material. The overflow reject material in the mill will be out of
mill as reject and it will be fed into to fresh feed belt conveyor for recycling by belt conveyor and
bucket elevator for grinding in the mill again. The fines collected in Bag houses will be transported to
silo by air slides and bucket elevator. The capacity of MVR is 320 tph.
PACKING AND LOADING:
The cement from cement silo will be extracted by aeration, the extracted cement will be transported
to a bin through air slides, bucket elevator and vibrating screen, from the bin the required quantity of
material will flow into a packer through a pneumatic gate for packing into the bags. Five Roto
Packers of 240 MT/hr capacity each are installed for packing the cement, at the top portion of the
Packer one bin is there with level sensors and compressed air assembly for passing the required
quantity of material into the packing spouts, at the bottom of Packer 16 spouts are there with load cell
and bag stool assembly for packing cement into bags, the load cells will meter the each bag for
required quantity and then the bag will discharge to dispatch belt conveyor for loading into the trucks
Safety Precautions
• Ensure that the machine works only in safe and functional condition

considerable Heat and corresponding increase in Pressure.
The cause of explosion can be listed as below :-
*Presence of coal dust in suspension at a concentration above
Page 37 of 73
Flammable level.
*Presence of sufficient Oxygen to enable combustion.
*Source of ignition of the mixture of coal dust and air.
*A certain degree of confinement to the mixture.
Preventive / precautionary measures will attempt at elimination of
the causes.
**Use of an oxygen deficient (inert) atmosphere in the pulverizer.
**Use of magnets to remove tramp metalfrom coal feed.
**Cutting / welding jobs in the area to be done as per safety norms
and under supervision.
**Electrical installations in the area are to be explosion proof /
flame proof.
**Static Electricity – all equipments must be earthed including the
bag house bags.
**Hot coal not to be charged in the pulverizer.
**Coal dust accumulation in nooks & corners to be avoided.
Training of personnel to avoid unsafe conditions and unsafe
practices.
Kiln The major causes of explosion in the Kiln are as below :-
*Poor combustion of fuel – low flame temperature.
*Firing increased too rapidly during start-up.
*Waste flue gas accumulation.
ESP Electrical spark is readily available in the precipitator. Rapping can
produce mechanicalsparks.
The products of Incomplete Combustion can get accumulated inside
the precipitator and cause an explosion.
*Ensure that the fuel is fully burnt.
*Ensure that the precipitated dust is evacuated continuously.
9 General Working at
height
Persons who are required to work at heights should be medically
examined for fitness.
Appropriate protective gear should be used – safety net, safety full-
body harness.
Safety belts should be anchored to proper, strong structures.
Safety belts with two anchoring lines only to be used – even while
changing the point of anchoring, one line should remain anchored.
10 Handling gas Gas cylinders are of different categories viz.
Page 38 of 73
cylinders Liquefied Gases; Non Liquefied (compressed / pressurized) Gases;
Dissolved Gases.
Liquefied: Gases which can become liquids at normal temperature
when stored in cylinders at high pressure. Initially the cylinder is
almost full of liquid and a small volume of gas occupies the space
above the liquid. When gas is removed from the cylinder, further
liquid evaporates to occupy the space and the pressure inside the
cylinder is maintained constant.
Eg. Ammonia , Chlorine , Propane , CO2
Non Liquefied (compressed):Gases which do not become liquids at
normal temperature even when compressed to very high pressure.
eg. Oxygen , Nitrogen , Helium
Dissolved: In the case of certain gases, the cylinders are fully
packed with fillers and the fillers are saturated with a solvent. The
gas dissolves in the solvent and is stored as a liquid.
Eg. Acetylene dissolved in Acetone.
Precautions in handling Gas cylinders :
*Store the cylinders in upright position.
*Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
*Protect against physical damage.
*Protect from heat.
*Have the valve protection cap firmly secured.
*While using the cylinder, use a pressure reducing regulator.
*Do not drop or roll the cylinders. Use a wheel barrow to shift the
cylinders.
*Do not transport liquefied gases in confined spaces like the boot of
a car.
*Use a back fire arrestor while using the cylinder.
*Check the cylinders for leakage with soap solution.
In case of accidental release of Chlorine, N2, CO2 special
precautions as described to be taken.
11 Working in
confined
spaces
A confined space has a restricted opening for Entry or Exit which
may be on account of Size or location or means of approach.
*Not designed for continuous worker occupancy.
*May contain a Potentially Hazardous substance.
*May contain a substance which may flow freely and engulf an
Page 39 of 73
entrant.
*May have walls that converge/ floor that may slope downwards,
tapering into a narrow space.
60% ofthe victims are would-be rescuers.
Some such confined spaces are :-
Tunnels, Tanks, Silos, Hoppers, Cellars,Wells,Man-holes,
Transfer Chutes.
A system of issuing a Work Permit has to be installed for entering a
confined space.
*Before entering a confined space, quality of air inside must be
tested to find out whether sufficient Oxygen is present and to detect
the presence of any Poisonous / Inflammable substances that may
be present.
*In case some poisonous material is present,it should be purged out
and air tested again.
*Oxygen must be in the range of 18% to 23%. More Oxygen may
lead to explosion in the presence of inflammable substance.
*In case Oxygen is less than 18%, mechanical ventilation is
adopted.
*PPEs like Respirators, Gas mask, Ear plugs are used.
*Safety belts with long leads may be worn. This will help to pull
out a person in emergencies.
*Any free flowing material present in the area must be cleared out
before anybody entering.

RISK ASSESSMENT:
Jaypee Balaji Cement Plant has done the Risk assessment. All staffs are required to read the Jaypee Balaji
Cement Plant risk assessments and abide by their requirements at all times.
IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE CONCERNED BY ANY ASPECT OF SAFETY IN THE WORK PLACE
THEN STOP WORK AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR SUPERVISOR. IF YOU CANNOT
CONTACT THE SUPERVISOR THEN CONTACT THE SAFETY OFFICER.
Introduction
A risk assessment is the systematic identification of potential hazards in the work place by personnel as a first
step to control the possible risks involved.
A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm.
A risk is the likelihood of someone being exposed to that hazard and harmed as a result.
Essentially, individual, who are familiar with the working area and working practices are involved with the
risk assessment process.
Supervisors are responsible for developing a risk assessment plan for their area of responsibility, and
completing assessment in accordance with this plan.
The top Management of Jaypee Balaji Cement Plant has ultimate responsibility to ensure that risk assessments
are done.
It is also important to remember that risk assessments need to be done before new procedures are introduced.
Risk levels are categorized in a numbered format. Each hazard is given a rating and this is multiplied by the
probability that these hazards will occur, as shown in the following equation.
Risk level = Hazard severity x Likelihood ofoccurrence
= Severity XProbability
Step One
Give each hazard a severity marking as indicated in the table below:
Page 44 of 73
Risk Level Effect of hazard (Severity)
5 Fatal injury
4 Disabling injury
3 LTI (Lost time injury)
2 Minor Injury
1 First aid only
For example:
If slipping on the stairs (hazard), could result in death or disablement, then it must be given a rating of 4 or 5.
Step Two
The next step is to consider how often each hazard is likely to occur as indicated in the table below
Risk Level Likelihood ofoccurrence (Probability)
5 Once per month
4 Once in six months
3 Once in a year
2 Once in 1 – 5 years
1 Once in 5 or more years
For example:
If slipping on the stairs (hazard) was very likely to happen, then it must be given a rating of 3.
Step Three
Multiply the two scores together and you will get the risk level. This figure should be entered into the risk
assessment form.
For example:
5 (hazard Severity) multiplied by 3 (occurrence or Probability) = 15
Page 45 of 73
Step Four
The following bullet points are guidelines to help you gauge how quickly you need to put the controls in place.
• Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of 22-25 then action must be taken immediately to reduce
that risk.
• Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of 16-22 then the line manager must be informed before the
end of that working day.
• Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of between 1 and 15, then action needs to be taken at the
earliest opportunity, as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so, taking into account local
circumstances.
Employers must ensure that risks are reduced to the lowest extent reasonably practicable.
The legal definition of 'reasonably practicable' is 'any measure which can be reasonably carried out having
regard to technical knowledge and acceptable expense'.
The aim is to eliminate or reduce the risks as small as possible.
To control the risks the following points should be considered:
• Eliminate the hazard completely
• Suggest a safer alternative
• We can control the risks so that harm is unlikely to occur
• We can Use required PPEs
The use of personal protective equipment should only be considered when there is nothing else you can
reasonably do.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS The cement manufacturing is done by using Calcareous & Argillaceous as main raw materials. The coal is used for providing heat for clinkerisation which is an intermediate product. When Clinker is mixed with Gypsum, OPC is produced and when clinker is mixed with Gypsum & Fly Ash, PPC is produced. The following steps are involved in cement manufacturing process: 1. Mining/Quarrying: Mining of calcareous material having min. Cao content 42.5% is required or alternatively high and low grade lime stone quarries are developed to meet out average requirement. 2. Crushing: Lime Stone obtained from quarry is crushed in single rotor double impactor to reduce its size from 1.2 m (edge to edge) to ≤75 mm for Vertical Roller mill. During crushing, dust generates causing pollution for which Bag filters are installed to control the pollution. 3. Raw material Grinding: Grinding will be done in VRM to reduce the size to 12 % R on 90 µ known as raw meal. The hot gas is supplied at 250 o C during raw material grinding for demoisturisation up to <1 % and better grind ability. The feed moisture will be maintained within 6 – 8 %. The corrective/additive materials viz. Bauxite, Laterite/Iron Ore will be added as per raw mix design for grinding with lime stone. The Pre-heater exhaust gases will be utilized for drying/demoisturisation. In case Kiln is not running, hot gas will be supplied by hot gas furnace. Cyclones, RABH etc. are provided in the circuit for recovery of raw meal and energy /waste heat utilization. The raw meal is stored in CF/ Blending Silo. Page 8 of 73
  • 10. 4. Coal Grinding: Coal will be ground/pulverized in VRM. The feed size for VRM is ≤ 55mm. The feed moisture will be controlled to 8 %. Hot air from cooler vent will be supplied at temperature ≤ 300 o C to demoisturise up to < 1%. The product fineness will be maintained at15 % R on 90 µ. The pulverized coal will be stored in fine coal bunker connected with bag filter for degusting. 5. Pyro-processing: (i). Preheating & Calcinations: Raw meal will be extracted from blending silo and fed to Preheater top cyclones which descends through cyclones to calciner and ultimately to Kiln. The flue gases coming out from kiln and cooler will be counter-currently passed through calciner and cyclones upwardly. The heat transfer will take place to raw meal in Preheater and calciner decomposing lime stone as under: 800 o C CaCO3 CaO + CO2 The raw meal temperature at kiln inlet coming in will be >800 o C and degree of calcination from 65 % to 90% will be achieved before feeding to the kiln. The hot gases from cooler will be supplied through TAD to KRTP/Calciner for increasing degree of calcination. (ii). Clinkerisation: The raw meal enters at kiln inlet in Pre-heating zone after completing calcination i.e. decomposition of lime stone, then to presintering/transition zone, to sintering/burning and cooling zone. The temperature inside kiln will be increased by adjusting required coal feed and achieved maximum temperature will be achieved in burning zone up to 1450-1500 o C at which clinkerisation/silicate- formation will take place as under: SiO2 + 1450 o C 3CaO SiO2 CaCO3 + Al2O3 2CaO SiO2 + 3Cao Al2O3 Fe2O3 4Cao Al2O3 Fe2O3 Page 9 of 73
  • 11. The kiln speed, raw meal feed and coal feed will be adjusted after optimization of system. The produced clinker phases i.e. C3S, C2S, C3A & C4AF will be discharged to cooler. (iii). Cooling: Cooling will be done through cross bar ‘SF Cooler’ by quick air quenching to arrest glass-content of clinker avoiding formation of periclase. After cooling, the temperature of Clinker comes out to be around 90o C. 6. Clinker Storage: Clinker will be stored in covered yard and silo to avoid moisture. 7. Cement Grinding: Clinker with Gypsum up to 5 % will be ground to produce OPC. Clinker with gypsum up to 5% and fly ash from 10 to 35 % is ground to produce PPC as per IS 1489 part-1. 8. Packing & Dispatch: Cement after grinding will be conveyed to storage silo and from there extracted by aeration to packing plant for loading to wagons/ trucks.

When opening any inspection doors, bear in mind that rotating parts may continue to run for several minutes even after stopping the drive. If person is required to enter the machine for eliminating any malfunction, it must be ensured that the drive cannot be restarted unintended and that the relevant values (maximum workplace concentration) Person that need to enter any metal containers for inspection and repair work are allowed to use hand lamps and electric tools with a maximum 48V only. REVERSE AIR BAGHOUSE – I & II: RABH - Process Description a. Overall de-dusting description: The dust laden gasses from Preheater fan outlet & raw mill fan outlet enter into the bag house where the dust is collected in the bags & dust free gases escape out. Since the temperature of the gases entering the baghouse is high when the mill is not running, air dilution cooling is being provided by Dilution air fan. Bag House ID Fan is positioned between outlet of Bag House and Stack. Filter Bag Cleaning Operation: The outlet damper of the compartment to be cleaned closes, cutting off the main dust laden gas supply. The reverse air damper will open and clean hot gas will flow through the fabric in the reverse direction. The bags are prevented from totally collapsing by steel rings surrounding the bags. The Page 19 of 73
  • 21. collapsing action plus the flow of gas dislodges the dust from the inside of the bags. This dust falls into the hoppers below while the reverse air stream travels back through the open inlet damper to the inlet plenum and to the remaining operation compartments. The reverse air flow occurs for about 30seconds (typical) after which the reverse air damper closes stopping all air flow and allowing dust to settle. After a settling period of approximately 30 seconds (typical), the reverse air damper opens and the outlet damper opens. This action gradually reinflates the filter bags. This keeps the bags from popping open that is detrimental to bag life. The reverse air damper then closes, and the compartment is now back on-line. The remaining compartments are cleaned in turn until each has been cleaned. The bag house cleaning cycle will not start unless the cleaning interval timer, or the cleaning resets the cycle – set point is reached. The time span between cleaning cycles will be dependent on various factors, the most significant being inlet dust loading. Each bag house can and should be set up for its own conditions. An optimum timing sequence should be determined taking into account pressure drop versus frequency of cleaning and bag life. The total time cycle is adjustable as well as the individual settings. Final settings of timers, total cycle time per compartment and interval between complete cleaning cycles of all compartments should be determined after the units are placed in operation. The best condition is the shortest possible cleaning time per compartment with longest possible interval time between compartment cleaning. The time settings for cleaning cycle can be changed from the PLC. The bag house cleaning interval timer can be adjusted to change between baghouse cleaning cycle. b. REVERSE AIR FAN: Safety during operation and reporting procedure: In order to obtain the best possible bag life, the following points should be strictly adhered to: • The bag house must be started, operated and maintained strictly as per the guide lines laid down under this Operation & Maintenance manual • All temperature peaks beyond 260˚C must be reported to Alstom Projects India limited, immediately. • Daily records of the temperature should be maintained in a strip chart recorder and the same should be forwarded to Alstom Projects India limited on a monthly basis. The bag house should always be operated at a temperature below 240˚C. The gas composition and moisture should be analyzed and recorded in each shift. The operating temperature should be at least 40˚C above the dew point temperature. The records are to be sent to Alstom Projects India limited every month. Page 20 of 73
  • 22. Any abnormal condition experienced by the bag house such as very high dust load, shock transmitted because of an explosion in the circuit, all high temperature excursions beyond 260˚C must be reported within 24hour of the occurrence over a fax/e-mail. In case of any damage APIL representative will take action for determining the cause. No repair/ modification shall be carried out before such investigations are completed by APIL representative. • No adjustment of cleaning cycle should be done without prior approval from Alstom Projects India Limited during warranty period. • Bags must be kept at recommended tensioning level as mentioned elsewhere in the Operating & Maintenance manual. Do not allow the bag tensioning to drop below the specified level. Re- tensioning of bags is important for long bag life. • The bag house should always be operated with bleed in dilution air during kiln running condition in order to restrict the temperature to 220˚. Proper mixing of cold air and hot gases from the pre-heater should be ascertained before it is allowed to pass through the bag house. COAL MILL: The raw coal from coal hoppers will be metered and fed into mill for grinding into fine powder, two VRM’S of capacity 58 MT/hr each are installed for raw coal of size <55 mm to fine powder of size <15% residue on 90 micron. The raw coal enters into VRM, the material will move on the mill table due to its rotation, when the material enters between the fixed rollers mounted on spindle and the table, it gets ground into fine powder. Hot air will be supplied into mill for removing moisture resulting in better performance of the mill. The grounded material i.e. fine coal will lift to classifier by the air supplied into the mill for separating the fines and coarse material. The coarse material will fall back on to the grinding zone for further grinding and the fines will be carried away into a Bag house for collecting the finer material, the collected material will be transported to fine coal bins through screw conveyors and F.K. pumps for storage and for further coal dosing. The fine coal will be extracted from coal bins by aeration and it will be metered by weigh feeders and will be conveyed for firing in Kiln & Pre-Calciner by F.K. Pumps. Safety Precautions & Consideration in handling of Raw Coal & Coal Mill Operation : • Safe operation of the system requires use of coal with lesser volatile matter (<15%) • Do not store different types of coal in the same pile. • Operation and maintenance of the coal mill related system should only be performed by well trained personnel. Page 21 of 73
  • 23. • Carrying the wireless system is a must in coal mill area to have a on the hand contact with CCR. • Attendants, operators, mechanical technicians or electricians and labours must work under the supervision of an individual who understand the hazards associated with work in the coal mill system. This also applies to contractors. • A hot work permit is required for any welding or cutting in all areas defined by the scope. • Proper care is to be taken for cleaning up coal piles. The vertical roller mill with air-swept classifier is designed for operation with drying gases. Under the following conditions, however, there is a risk of fire and pulverized coal explosions: -an inflammable substance -an oxygen concentration sufficient for combustion -an effective ignition source -a sufficient pulverized coal fineness -a sufficient pulverized coal-air ratio Warning! Keep the grinding-drying plant clean to prevent the propagation of a potential explosion or fire. Any deposits of pulverized coal on ducting’s and floors must be removed immediately. Cleaning intervals are a must adopted. A smoldering fire can develop into an open fire when supplied with oxygen. A draft may whirl up the pulverized coal which may then mix with the oxygen contained in the air and form an explosive mixture. Before opening the plant ensure that all CO indicators show safe values. Risk of burning! In addition, check the plant parts (finished product silo, filter etc.) for unusually high temperatures. The person opening the inspection doors must wear fire protective clothing. Escape routes must exist and are to be clear. Before carrying out any maintenance work inside the mill, ensure that the mill has been sufficiently vented. If necessary, wear adequate protective equipment. Page 22 of 73
  • 24. If the safety limit values (CO and Temperature values) are exceeded, stop the grinding process (auto interlock) and flood the plant with quenching gas. Warning! • Danger of suffocation! When the plant is flooded during standstill, be aware that quenching gas might escape from certain plant parts. Therefore before entering the plant, make sure there is no danger of suffocation. • Because of the pressure- shock proof design of the mill and classifier housings, no welding, grinding, and flame cutting work or other modifications are allowed on these housings. Since the pulverized coal bag houses present an explosion and fire hazard, extreme care should be taken when entering them. Bag House entry may be required due to the following circumstances: • Alarm Condition of broken bag detector. • Routine Planned maintenance on bag houses. • Flow Problems with coal in the bag house hopper Safety Precautions & Consideration in Maintenance of Coal Mill Bag House : Entering the baghouse Under all circumstances, prior to entrance into baghouse, approval must be received from CCR. • The baghouse should only be entered when confined space conditions are met and a permit is issued • Once these conditions are met turn off the air supply to the baghouse pulsing unit and bleed the air manifold, lock and tag out the inlet valve for the compressed air to the baghouse. • If CO is not increasing, open the entry door and confirm that atmosphere is safe for operation. • Check internal conditions carefully. • Before entering into the bag house ensure that lock out/tag out is met. If at any time during the bag house entry the CO analyzer indicates a rising CO concentration in the bag house, all personnel must evacuate the area immediately. The doors must be closed and the CCR will initiate an inerting sequence after all locks and tags are removed. Superiors should be notified as soon as possible if the CO levels in the bag house indicate a smoldering fire during entry. Page 23 of 73
  • 25. Bag replacement The main reason for bag house entry is to replace a broken bag. There are a few important points to consider. • Through the bag change process, CO should be monitored for any increase. If CO is seen to be rising, all personnel should leave the dust collector, close the door and exit the coal mill area. Once clear initiate an inertizing sequence. • A broken bag results in coal contamination of the upper plenum of the baghouse. It is important to clean the upper plenum completely before replacing the broken bags. This is to ensure that no coal dust falls into the clean side of the bags. Coal collecting on the clean side of the bags may cause bag breakage due to smoldering. • Always replace the broken bag, as well as all the bags surrounding the broken one. The bags surrounding the broken bag will already have coal in them and will most probably be the next to fail. • Always inspect the bag house hopper for obvious signs of bag misalignment or damage. 1. Pyro processing – Clinkerisation The required quantity of raw meal from C.F silo will be extracted by aeration into a kiln feed bin then it will be metered and fed into Preheater top cyclones by bucket elevators. The material fed at the top cyclones will be heated up with flue gases coming up from coal fired Kiln as the material and gas flows counter currently and heat transfer takes place. Hot gas will be supplied to the material from cooler through TA Duct for further heating and coal firing in calciner thereby increasing the degree of calcination. At kiln inlet the material will attain a temperature of 950 o C and 94 % calcination, due to kiln rotation and its inclination the material will travel towards discharge end. The material moves to pre-heating zone for further heating by firing coal at the other end, the material will enter to calcination and burning zone and here the temperature will increase to 1450 o C, here the complete calcination and clinker formation will takes place, due to kiln rotation clinker nodulization takes place. Safety procedures to activities at or near cyclones during operation: Page 24 of 73
  • 26. During operation, hot raw meal may accumulate in cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes. Such accumulations will often have a disruptive effect on the process, entailing need for frequent inspections and subsequent clean-out operations. Any inspection, as well as cleaning, of cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes, however, involve certain risks for the personnel assigned to such tasks. For minimization of such risks, strict compliance with the following rules must be ensured. Before any such work is initiated, it is essential to ensure that the voltage to all control cabinets for air blasters is cut off. Check also that all blasters are cut off from air supply by closing the compressed air valve & the blasters have been vented. A minor negative pressure must be maintained in the system whenever clean-up operations are being carried out. This negative pressure will reduce the likelihood of any outflow of hot air and dust which would pose danger to the personal involved in the clean-up operations. Check that a negative pressure is present at the specific location; this is done by cautiously opening the inspection holes. If this is not the case, the clean-up procedure must be interrupted. To avert the risk in terms of an outflow of dust or gas, it is a mandatory requirement that anyone working on the Pre-heater installation is equipped with respiratory protective equipment (class P1) as well as goggles. During operation, any cleaning of cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes must ALWAYS be carried out from the outside. It is essential not to allow anyone access to a cyclone which is in operation. Any person(s) involved in clean-up operations must know the exact routes of escape. Operating personnel involved in the inspection or cleaning of cyclones, riser ducts or feed pipes must be equipped with face masks, protective helmets, long heat insulating, fire proof gloves and wooden- soled boots or other appropriate footwear. Where work may involve presence of substantial dust accumulations or where there is a risk of being hit by falling objects, the operator undertaking the operation must be equipped with a safety belt and lifeline which must be held by an assistant who is positioned at a safe location, while maintaining constant eye contact with his colleague. To reduce the extent of any burn injury, each storey of cyclone Preheater must be provided with at least one cold-water shower. Prior to opening any clean-out doors or hatches, check through the small inspection hole for any presence of dust accumulations behind the door/hatch, dust which will flow out when the door/hatch is opened. Due to the attendant risk of hot dust or raw meal flowing out, the personnel involved must never be standing directly on the ordinary floor or on a platform when opening the clean-out doors and Page 25 of 73
  • 27. hatches. Instead, scaffolding, raised above the floor level, and fabricated from non-flammable materials, must be used to carry out such activities. In case a platform is used, it must be designed as a grate to allow hot material, if any, to fall through the gaps without any possibility for such material to accumulate. In case of an accident, attention must be focused on the specific direction of the material flow and the potential damage it may cause, for example in relation to electrical cables etc… In case of dust accumulations, attempts to remove such accumulations must be made before any doors/hatches are opened. This is done through the small inspection hole. Dust accumulations and caking are best removed by means of air lances. When cleaning cyclones, riser ducts and feed pipes, the operation must be started from the bottom. This will prevent a build-up of any dislodged material in accumulations and caking below, instead allowing them to be moved smoothly through the system. In connection with the performance of this operation, due attention must be given to the risk of hot material surges coming from cyclones at higher elevations. If during operation hot material is to be extracted from cyclone Pre-heater or a tertiary air duct, this must be done in a safe manner. The outflow of hot material must not involve any risk(s) to the personnel or equipment. The hot material must be allowed to cool off by itself, i.e. un-aided (use of hot water or the like may cause serious steam explosions). The necessary shields and guards must be installed. To avoid the risk of any person(s) engaged in work in the splitter gate of the Pre-heater being trapped, it is essential to ensure that all safety guards and shields have been installed. If work is to be done while the safety guard is not installed, the emergency stop of the splitter gate must be activated for safety reasons. Anyone engaged in activities on any of the storeys of the Pre-heater, involving presence of sluices, must be fully familiarized with the risk of impacting from the activation arms of the sluice flaps. This risk can be reduced by posting of signs or by erecting protective guards. SAFETY PROCEDURES DURING OPERATION OF ROTARY KILN PLANT: The high temperatures inside the kiln represent the major hazards for personnel working in proximity of the rotary kiln. Page 26 of 73
  • 28. Pulsation in the pyro process and in the material feed may, from to time, give rise to a transient blowout of hot dust and air from the inlet and outlet seals of kiln For this reason, the necessary precautions must be taken to equip any persons working in the immediate proximity of kiln with appropriate clothing and safety equipment to protect them against such extreme impacts. Because of the attendant danger of burn injuries, signs should be posted to warn about the hazards associated with any physical contact with kiln shell. Protective guards must be installed around the points of engagement between kiln tyres and supporting rollers and between kiln tyres and thrust roller to eliminate the risk of injuries due to crushing, entrapment or pinching. These guards must remain fitted throughout the operation of the rotary kiln. The supporting roller bearing housings are provided with inspection ports which cover the associated inspection openings in which protective grates are fitted. To eliminate any risk of entrapment, which may occur, for example, when stretching a hand/arm into the bearing housing, these grates must always be fitted while the kiln is in operation. CLINKER COOLER: The clinker leaves the kiln at around 1450˚C and fall down onto the cooler inlet zone, after which they are transported slowly down through the cooler. While being transported through the cooler the clinker are constantly exposed to a cooling air stream from below with the purpose of cooling down the clinker as well as recuperating heat back to the kiln system. The cooling air is provided by the 12Fans installed for the cooler. When the cooling air passes up through the clinker bed, it is heated by the clinker and for the first part of the cooler the heated air is drawn back into the kiln system and used as combustion air. Approximately 45% of the total cooling air is returned back to kiln system and recuperates approximately 75% of the clinker heat back to kiln system. The remaining air is extracted as excess air from the Cooler. The excess air extracted from the outlet end of the cooler and is de-dusted in the cooler ESP filter. The clinker dust from the cooler filter is transported to clinker conveyor. At the outlet of the cooler a clinker crusher is installed for breaking the lumps that are larger than. ~25-30 mm. Safety Instruction: • Requirement for work inside the SF Cooler: Due to safety reason no personnel must enter the Cooler when the flame is ignited or being ignited in the pyro processing system. Before personnel enter the machine ensure that there is enough oxygen in the air and that no toxic Page 27 of 73
  • 29. fumes exist. Normal lock out procedures for electrically equipment must be followed. Also make sure that all valves in the hydraulic lines are closed before any work is done inside the Cooler. Safety and Protection: • No entry IN and around the Cooler is allowed when flame is lit in the Kiln. • Certify that Cyclones and Calciner are empty and free of material before entering the Cooler • Air Blasters are empty and isolated such that air cannot flow into the air tank intentionally or unintentionally. • Inspection of the Under grate compartments and the Mechanical Flow Regulator’ s must be carried out exercising care as oscillating hydraulic drive bars will cause danger if started during inspection. ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR (ESP): An Electrostatic precipitator (hereafter referred to as precipitator) removes dust from flue gases by charging the dust particles through a high voltage. The dust particles are collected on the collecting plates and to lesser extent, on the discharge electrodes. The dust particles are detached from the electrodes by means of Vibration arrangements, and the dust is conveyed out of the hopper by means of conveying equipment. Safety Instructions: • Operating Situation : In the operating condition all access doors on the precipitator are locked and therefore the precipitator presents no particular danger to personnel or surroundings • External inspection and service work : No contact with rotating parts or parts which are in contact with high voltage and flue gas during operation • High Voltage : Safety measures against high voltage in trunking or insulator compartment and relevant working condition • The general safety procedures must be known. • Disconnect the power supply to all transformers/rectifiers at the distribution board. • The earthing connector placed on the rectifiers or between the rectifier and insulator compartment must be locked in the earthed positioned, earthing the precipitator and rectifier. Page 28 of 73
  • 30. • The power supply to the heating elements in the insulator compartment must be disconnected at the distribution board. • The high voltage distribution parts must be earthed with earthing cables at all hatches and manholes, hereby earthing the discharge system. • Before entering the ESP through the bottom hopper hatch, the high voltage distribution parts must be earthed with earth cables. Before entering the precipitator: The high voltage safety points to be added. • In precipitators consisting of several separate electrode systems across the flue gas flow, each individual system must be earthed. • Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the conveying equipment in the hopper • To prevent fan operation, the power supply must be disconnected at the distribution board • Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the heating elements in the hopper • Disconnect the power supply at the distribution board for the rapping drives, heating elements, vibrators, Purge air fan, Hot air fan, rapping devices etc. Disconnect compressed air supplies, if any.. • In case where production is to continue by means of a by-pass while there is access to the precipitator, the valves before and after the precipitator must be sealed and locked. • Ozone Content : The high voltage in the precipitator produces ozone gas, which can cause people in the precipitator to suffocate. Ozone has a very distinct and characteristic smell, and has to be removed by ventilating the precipitator. If the smell has gone after ventilation, the danger has also gone. Where there is doube, the ozone content should be determined with an analyzer. The concentration must not be higher than 0.7 ppm, if that also satisfies local requirements. • Important, actual dust and flue gas Checks must be made for toxic substances in the air and dust on the basis of the actual operating situation, for which the raw materials involved should be known. The raw materials and their precise treatment change almost continuously, with the composition of the air and dust changing at the same rate. Fire risk Page 29 of 73
  • 31. In precipitators where there may be a risk of fire or self-ignition in dust deposits, greater vigilance must be exercised with regard to flashes when opening the inspection hatches. CLINKER STORAGE AND TRANSPORT: The cooled clinker will be transported to Clinker Stockpile & Silo for storage by Deep Pan Conveyors. Clinker will be extracted from clinker storage silo by Deep Pan Conveyor provided underneath the silo and will be transported to Cement mill hoppers by Deep pan conveyors and Reversible shuttle Belt conveyors. Safety Instructions: • Before working on rotating or moving parts, ensure that these are stationary and cannot start to move during work. • Do not reach into rotating parts and maintain an adequate distance in order to avoid clothing or hair becoming caught up. • Special care has to be taken in case of repair and maintenance work on inclined conveyors. Especially when disassembling backstops, shafts, and drive units. • If the inclined conveyor strand is loaded only on one side, the conveyors may start to move, e.g. due to conveying material being still inside the pans and buckets. GYPSUM AND WETFLYASH: Gypsum & Wet Flyash are stored in a covered yard. These materials are then collected by a Crane & dumped in to respective hoppers. From the yard the material is conveyed to hoppers through belt conveyors. Safety device for Rotor: Safety device is meant for protection of rotor from over load and uncrushable material. Under normal condition, this device is the gap adjustment for breaker plate. The bottom part of the breaker plate is supported by stud and helical spring. Due to over load the breaker plate will be compressed against spring and oversize trempiron material will fall down. Pre compression of the spring is set to suit the material. BALL MILLS: The materials Clinker, Gypsum and Fly Ash will be metered by weigh feeders and fed into Ball mills by belt conveyors. When the material enters into the ball mills the grinding media present in the mill will hit material due to centrifugal action created by mill rotation there by material will be ground to Page 30 of 73
  • 32. fine powder. Mill vent is provided by a mill vent fan to provide velocity for material discharge. The discharge material will be transported to a separator through air slide and bucket elevator for separating the fine particles and coarse particles, in separator a rotor & stator assembly will be there, air will be supplied into it, when the material enters into separator, due to the rotor rotation and dispersion of material due to air flow the fines and coarse will be separated, the fines will be carried away by the air to cyclones for separating the fine material and air and the coarse particles will once again fed into mill inlet by air slide for further grinding to fine powder. The separator speed can be adjusted to get required fineness of the cement. The fines thus collected in cyclone will be transported to silo through air slides for storage and packing. A part of air separated at cyclone will be recirculated to separator and part of it will be vented out into atmosphere through bag filters after collecting the fine dust present in the exhaust air. One of the Ball mill (Cement Mill- 01) is being fitted with Roller press. The capacity of Ball Mill Cement Mill- 01 is 280tph & Ball Mill Cement Mill-02 is 165tph. Safety precautions (General notes on safety for the UMS Mill) • Dust masks should be used to extent deemed necessary(for example, in connection with clean- up operations) and hearing protectors must be used by anyone while inside the mill building when the mill is in operation or if noise intensive tolls(such as angular grinders, jackhammer drills or pneumatic spanners)are used. • Goggles MUST be worn by operators involved in grinding and torch-cutting operations. • It is essential to ensure that there are no persons inside the mill, on or under the mill prior to initiating any turning operation, given the danger of structural collapse or exposure falling parts. • When the mill is to be turned in side-heavy condition, it is very important to ensure that the mill is under control at all times and that unintended turning of the mill is prevented by means of wires and pulley block. • In operation, ball mills are very noisy and the noise level (sound pressure) will normally be higher than 110Dba. Therefore, hearing protectors must be used by any personnel working in the mill plant while the mill is in operation. • Requirement of work inside the Mill : Prior to entry in to mill, it is essential to make sure that effective lockout of mill feed has been affected. Net, the mill must be turned until a set of manholes are at the top position, simultaneously ensuring that the charge is in neutral position, i.e. in horizontal position. In actual practice this is done by turning the mill slightly beyond the point where the manholes are in top position, subsequently allowing the mill to be turned back to the desired position. Page 31 of 73
  • 33. Any person who is unwell should never be allowed access into a mill. Any person who is about to enter the mill must never be unaccompanied. At least one person must be at the manhole outside the mill, having contact to the person inside the mill, either in the form of visual contact or through verbal communication. The mill charge is uneven and difficult to walk on, particularly in the coarse grinding compartment, and due care is needed to avoid falling. • Replacement of Lining Plates : When replacement of lining plates and grates is required, adequate precautions are needed to prevent the plates and/or grates from falling down on any person(s) or on the unprotected mill shell. In case of the lining plates falling down on other lining plates, this may cause fragments of the plate to be knocked off. Endangering the personnel assigned to perform take inside the mill. Scaffolding inside the mill will be necessary to ensure safe working conditions. MVR: The metered quantities of Clinker, Gypsum, Fly Ash will be into MVR by belt conveyors and in the mill the materials will be ground to fine power as soon as the material enters between rollers and rotating table, hot air will be supplied to the mill for removing moisture present in the material and the fine powder will be lifted to the classifier by supplied air. In the classifier, the fines and coarse will be separated and the course will fall back on to the table for further grinding and the fines will be lifted to Bag houses for collecting the material. The overflow reject material in the mill will be out of mill as reject and it will be fed into to fresh feed belt conveyor for recycling by belt conveyor and bucket elevator for grinding in the mill again. The fines collected in Bag houses will be transported to silo by air slides and bucket elevator. The capacity of MVR is 320 tph. PACKING AND LOADING: The cement from cement silo will be extracted by aeration, the extracted cement will be transported to a bin through air slides, bucket elevator and vibrating screen, from the bin the required quantity of material will flow into a packer through a pneumatic gate for packing into the bags. Five Roto Packers of 240 MT/hr capacity each are installed for packing the cement, at the top portion of the Packer one bin is there with level sensors and compressed air assembly for passing the required quantity of material into the packing spouts, at the bottom of Packer 16 spouts are there with load cell and bag stool assembly for packing cement into bags, the load cells will meter the each bag for required quantity and then the bag will discharge to dispatch belt conveyor for loading into the trucks Safety Precautions • Ensure that the machine works only in safe and functional condition Page 32 of 73
  • 34. Page 33 of 73 • Operate the machine only when all protection units and units for a safe operation, e.g. removable protection units, emergency shutdown units, sound absorbers, and suction devices are available and ready to work. • Check the machine at least once per shift for externally noticeable damages and short comings. Any unexpected/abnormal occurrence (including the way of working) must be informed to the relevant officer/person immediately. • Clean machines, especially connections and joins/testing before maintenance/repair from oil or cleaning products.

They do not Burn or Explode. Still, they can be highly dangerous and even Fatal. They can displace Air, resulting in Oxygen starvation. Confined space where inert gas is being used, is to be ventilated before anyone enters. Test the space for Oxygen content before entering. Minimum 18% oxygen is necessary. Inert gas containers can explode when exposed to fire. In case of fire, move the container away or cool the container with water. Move the affected person away to a well ventilated place and
  • 37. Page 36 of 73 administer oxygen. Immediate medical attention is required in case of over exposure 6 Handling acids Sulphuric acid Hydro chloric acid All strong acids will cause severe chemical burns to living tissues. Sulphuric acid reacts strongly with Protein and other components that make up skin and muscle. Inhaling fumes can cause irritation of throat, coughing, and severe damage to lungs. Sulphuric acid combines with water violently, generating a lot of heat. Add acid to water and never water to acid while diluting acid. On physical contact with body parts, wash with plenty of water.

Annoyance, Sleep disturbance, Hearing impairment, Hyper tension, Ischemic heart disease. Maintain the equipments in excellent condition. Install noise barriers. Use an appropriate PPE like an ear plug / muff 8 Explosion Coal There is an inherent risk involved in pulverizing, drying, blending, transporting and storing coal. Coal dust explosion is described as a Rapid Burning of combustible particles in a confined area, with resultant generation of considerable Heat and corresponding increase in Pressure. The cause of explosion can be listed as below :- *Presence of coal dust in suspension at a concentration above
  • 38. Page 37 of 73 Flammable level. *Presence of sufficient Oxygen to enable combustion. *Source of ignition of the mixture of coal dust and air. *A certain degree of confinement to the mixture. Preventive / precautionary measures will attempt at elimination of the causes. **Use of an oxygen deficient (inert) atmosphere in the pulverizer. **Use of magnets to remove tramp metalfrom coal feed. **Cutting / welding jobs in the area to be done as per safety norms and under supervision. **Electrical installations in the area are to be explosion proof / flame proof. **Static Electricity – all equipments must be earthed including the bag house bags. **Hot coal not to be charged in the pulverizer. **Coal dust accumulation in nooks & corners to be avoided. Training of personnel to avoid unsafe conditions and unsafe practices. Kiln The major causes of explosion in the Kiln are as below :- *Poor combustion of fuel – low flame temperature. *Firing increased too rapidly during start-up. *Waste flue gas accumulation. ESP Electrical spark is readily available in the precipitator. Rapping can produce mechanicalsparks. The products of Incomplete Combustion can get accumulated inside the precipitator and cause an explosion. *Ensure that the fuel is fully burnt. *Ensure that the precipitated dust is evacuated continuously. 9 General Working at height Persons who are required to work at heights should be medically examined for fitness. Appropriate protective gear should be used – safety net, safety full- body harness. Safety belts should be anchored to proper, strong structures. Safety belts with two anchoring lines only to be used – even while changing the point of anchoring, one line should remain anchored. 10 Handling gas Gas cylinders are of different categories viz.
  • 39. Page 38 of 73 cylinders Liquefied Gases; Non Liquefied (compressed / pressurized) Gases; Dissolved Gases. Liquefied: Gases which can become liquids at normal temperature when stored in cylinders at high pressure. Initially the cylinder is almost full of liquid and a small volume of gas occupies the space above the liquid. When gas is removed from the cylinder, further liquid evaporates to occupy the space and the pressure inside the cylinder is maintained constant. Eg. Ammonia , Chlorine , Propane , CO2 Non Liquefied (compressed):Gases which do not become liquids at normal temperature even when compressed to very high pressure. eg. Oxygen , Nitrogen , Helium Dissolved: In the case of certain gases, the cylinders are fully packed with fillers and the fillers are saturated with a solvent. The gas dissolves in the solvent and is stored as a liquid. Eg. Acetylene dissolved in Acetone. Precautions in handling Gas cylinders : *Store the cylinders in upright position. *Store in a cool, dry and well ventilated place. *Protect against physical damage. *Protect from heat. *Have the valve protection cap firmly secured. *While using the cylinder, use a pressure reducing regulator. *Do not drop or roll the cylinders. Use a wheel barrow to shift the cylinders. *Do not transport liquefied gases in confined spaces like the boot of a car. *Use a back fire arrestor while using the cylinder. *Check the cylinders for leakage with soap solution. In case of accidental release of Chlorine, N2, CO2 special precautions as described to be taken. 11 Working in confined spaces A confined space has a restricted opening for Entry or Exit which may be on account of Size or location or means of approach. *Not designed for continuous worker occupancy. *May contain a Potentially Hazardous substance. *May contain a substance which may flow freely and engulf an
  • 40. Page 39 of 73 entrant. *May have walls that converge/ floor that may slope downwards, tapering into a narrow space. 60% ofthe victims are would-be rescuers. Some such confined spaces are :- Tunnels, Tanks, Silos, Hoppers, Cellars,Wells,Man-holes, Transfer Chutes. A system of issuing a Work Permit has to be installed for entering a confined space. *Before entering a confined space, quality of air inside must be tested to find out whether sufficient Oxygen is present and to detect the presence of any Poisonous / Inflammable substances that may be present. *In case some poisonous material is present,it should be purged out and air tested again. *Oxygen must be in the range of 18% to 23%. More Oxygen may lead to explosion in the presence of inflammable substance. *In case Oxygen is less than 18%, mechanical ventilation is adopted. *PPEs like Respirators, Gas mask, Ear plugs are used. *Safety belts with long leads may be worn. This will help to pull out a person in emergencies. *Any free flowing material present in the area must be cleared out before anybody entering. 12 Conveyor Belts Do not wear loose clothes while working near the belt conveyor. The loose clothes may get entangled with the moving parts and cause injury. Arrange for a proper Shut-Down and permit to work before starting any maintenance activity on the equipment. Do not cross over a conveyor belt – it may start at any time. Use the cross –over bridge. Do not run the conveyors with any of the protective devices bypassed. 13 Wire ropes & slings Safe Lifting Load of a sling depends upon the diameter of the rope, constructional features of the rope, the way the sling is used – single or multiple lays and included angle.

All staffs are required to read the Jaypee Balaji Cement Plant risk assessments and abide by their requirements at all times. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE CONCERNED BY ANY ASPECT OF SAFETY IN THE WORK PLACE THEN STOP WORK AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACT YOUR SUPERVISOR. IF YOU CANNOT CONTACT THE SUPERVISOR THEN CONTACT THE SAFETY OFFICER. Introduction A risk assessment is the systematic identification of potential hazards in the work place by personnel as a first step to control the possible risks involved. A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm. A risk is the likelihood of someone being exposed to that hazard and harmed as a result. Essentially, individual, who are familiar with the working area and working practices are involved with the risk assessment process. Supervisors are responsible for developing a risk assessment plan for their area of responsibility, and completing assessment in accordance with this plan. The top Management of Jaypee Balaji Cement Plant has ultimate responsibility to ensure that risk assessments are done. It is also important to remember that risk assessments need to be done before new procedures are introduced. Risk levels are categorized in a numbered format. Each hazard is given a rating and this is multiplied by the probability that these hazards will occur, as shown in the following equation. Risk level = Hazard severity x Likelihood ofoccurrence = Severity XProbability Step One Give each hazard a severity marking as indicated in the table below:

Page 44 of 73 Risk Level Effect of hazard (Severity) 5 Fatal injury 4 Disabling injury 3 LTI (Lost time injury) 2 Minor Injury 1 First aid only For example: If slipping on the stairs (hazard), could result in death or disablement, then it must be given a rating of 4 or 5. Step Two The next step is to consider how often each hazard is likely to occur as indicated in the table below Risk Level Likelihood ofoccurrence (Probability) 5 Once per month 4 Once in six months 3 Once in a year 2 Once in 1 – 5 years 1 Once in 5 or more years For example: If slipping on the stairs (hazard) was very likely to happen, then it must be given a rating of 3. Step Three Multiply the two scores together and you will get the risk level. This figure should be entered into the risk assessment form. For example: 5 (hazard Severity) multiplied by 3 (occurrence or Probability) = 15
  • 46. Page 45 of 73 Step Four The following bullet points are guidelines to help you gauge how quickly you need to put the controls in place. • Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of 22-25 then action must be taken immediately to reduce that risk. • Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of 16-22 then the line manager must be informed before the end of that working day. • Where any hazard is given a risk ranking of between 1 and 15, then action needs to be taken at the earliest opportunity, as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so, taking into account local circumstances. Employers must ensure that risks are reduced to the lowest extent reasonably practicable. The legal definition of 'reasonably practicable' is 'any measure which can be reasonably carried out having regard to technical knowledge and acceptable expense'. The aim is to eliminate or reduce the risks as small as possible. To control the risks the following points should be considered: • Eliminate the hazard completely • Suggest a safer alternative • We can control the risks so that harm is unlikely to occur • We can Use required PPEs The use of personal protective equipment should only be considered when there is nothing else you can reasonably do.
