Abstract
Thermal power plant uses coal as fuel for their working. Coal after burning leaves ash. Disposal of this ash is also one
important task. Ash comes in contact with open environment and has adverse effects on health of human being. Due to
these various health problems like skin diseases, breathing problem etc. are started in man working under those
premises. Some other elements like boiler, turbine, generator, material handling are those elements due to which hazards
and accidents take place while operation and maintenance of these. This work focuses on identification of various
Occupational diseases and injuries, health risks associated with the man power working in thermal power plant. This
data were collected by questionnaires and personnel interview of the workers working in different section of the thermal
power plant like boiler section, turbine & generator section, coal & ash handling plant, hydrogen plant etc. Analysis is
done in terms of different variables, such as age, skills experience, type of injuries and type of diseases. Results are
shown in the form graph and chart. The results indicate a remarkable and visible impact on health of workers during
operation and maintenance.
Key Words: Occupational hazards and Diseases, health risk, Injuries, Questionnaires, Personnel interview.

1. INTRODUCTION
Thermal power plant has caused environmental impacts at
all stages of the process in the area. It also caused various
occupational diseases and injuries to the workers working.
Each Occupational disease and injury has a major effect on
economy due to loss of productive hour, man-power losses,
compensation to the victim’s. Due it this reason for
reduction of all occupational diseases, injuries/fatalities,
corrective and preventive measures should be done.
There are several kinds of ailments which were recorded in
the thermal power plant. These included Allergic reactions
that interfered with breathing, asthma , emphysema ,chronic
bronchitis, Lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis ,wheezing,
stroke, Chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, irregular
heartbeat, swelling in legs and feet (not caused by walking),
skin allergies, High B.P, anxiety, eye irritation and fatigue..
There are several legal parameters which are proposed and
regulated by the government and other safety organizations.
These parameters are essential to be followed up for safe
working operation and conditions.
Risk = Consequence × Likelihood
Some common safety rules and regulations which are
essential in the power plant to follow up given in the:
 Factories Act 1948 & M.P./C.G. Rules 1962
 The Indian Boiler Act 1923 & Regulations,1950
(Amendment 2007)
 Water Act -1974
 Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules,
1989.
 Indian Electrical Act 2003 & Rules 1956
 IS Standards
 OSHA Standard 1970
 Third Schedule (See section 89 and 90) ,List of
Notifiable Diseases ,The factories Act,1948
Breaches of these laws and regulations generate hazards
which can cause the harm by generating;
 Unsafe act
 Unsafe conditions
 Behavioral mishaps
In present scenario of visited thermal power plant we have
seen the various breaches of laws and hazardous conditions
which may lead to the threats to the people, property and
environment.
2. TERMINOLOGY
Accident- A sudden event that results in an undesired
outcome such as property damage, bodily injury or death.
IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308

Volume: 04 Issue: 01 | Jan-2015, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 150
Occupational accident- Accident occurring at the
workplace which may cause damage to machinery, tools or
people.
Injury- Physical damage to body tissues caused by an
accident or by exposure to environmental stressors. This
injury may lead to death and is then called a "fatal accident"
or may cause partial disability or lead to sick leave for a
period of time.
Hazard- Any existing or potential condition in the
workplace which, by itself or by interacting with other
variables can result in death, injury, property damage or
other loss. Simply, hazard is a potential source of harm.
Risk- The likelihood of harm (in defined circumstances).
Harm- The loss to a person (or people) as a consequence of
damage.
Damage - The loss of inherent quality suffered by an entity
(physical or biological).
Danger - The degree of exposure to a hazard.
Safety - The absence of danger.
Occupational safety - Risk identification at the workplace
and preventive measures takes to reduce or eliminate the
hazard which may lead to accident.
Safe behaviour- Acting in such a way that no risk of injury
is caused by one's behaviour.
Safety professional- A person whose basic job function and
responsibility is to prevent accidents and other harmful
exposures and the personal injury, disease or property
damage that may ensure.
Occupational Health: The protection and promotion of the
health of workers by preventing and controlling
occupational diseases and accidents and by eliminating
occupational factors and conditions hazardous to health and
safety at work.
Health Hazards- When work is associated with health
hazards, it may cause occupational diseases, be one of the
multiple causes of other diseases or may aggravate existing
ill-health of non-occupational origin. In developing
countries, where work is becoming increasingly
mechanized, a number of work processes have been
developed that treat workers as tools in production, putting
their health and lives at risk. The occupational health lessons
learned during the industrial revolution should be borne in
mind in planning for health developing countries if such
problems are to be avoided.
Occupational Hygiene- This is the practice of assessment
and control of environmental factors and stresses arising in
or from the workplace, which may cause injury, sickness,
impaired health and well-being or significant discomfort and
inefficiency among workers or among the citizens of the
community.
It encompasses the study of:
 Toxicology
 Industrial processes
 The chemical and physical behaviour of air
contaminants.
 Environment sampling techniques and statistics
 The design and evaluation of ventilation systems
 Noise control
 Radiation protection
 The health effects of occupational hazards
Occupational Diseases- Occupational diseases are adverse
health conditions in the human being, the occurrence or
severity of which is related to exposure to factors on the job
or in the work environment. Such factors can be:
 Physical: e.g. heat, noise, radiation, vibration, light.
 Chemical: e.g. solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, dust.
 Biological: e.g. microorganisms; virus, bacteria,
protozoan, insect or other living organism.
 Ergonomic: e.g. improperly designed tools or work areas,
repetitive motions.
 Psychosocial stressors: e.g. lack of control over work,
inadequate personal support.
 Mechanical: These mainly cause work accidents and
injuries rather than occupational diseases.
Techniques used in recognizing health hazards-
1. Material Inventory
2. Process Inventory
3. Walk-through occupational hygiene survey
4. Air-sampling programmes
Exposure measurement techniques-
These techniques are based on the nature of hazards and the
routes of environmental contact with the worker, e.g.
 Air sampling can show the concentration of particulates,
gases and vapours that workers may inhale.
 Skin wipes can be used to measure the degree of skin
contact with toxic material that may penetrate the skin.
 Noise dosimeters record and electronically integrate
workplace noise level to determine total daily exposure.
Aim of occupational safety-
The occupational safety philosophy has been developed in
order to:
 Prevent need less destruction of health and waste of
human and other resources.
 Raise the morale of workers
 Prevents inefficiency in the workplace due to the effects
of accidents
 Prevents social harm caused by accidents
 Promote accident prevention.
Causes of occupational accidents and injuries
1. Human factors
2. Environmental factors
3. METHODOLOGY
Methodology adopted for this work is based on the
information available from the workers of different section
and different age groups working in thermal power plant by
the systematic questionnaire and personal interview. The
main objective of this study is to find out the various
occupational diseases, hazards, accidents and prepare a
systematic safety measures to minimize them. The interview
can be conducted randomly on 100 workers.
Questioners and checklist against which this work can be
conducted are as follows;

5. CONCLUSIONS
This work has been conducted by taking some variables like
age, skills, and experience into consideration to get an
overall view of occupational diseases, hazards and injuries
among the workers of thermal power plant to enhance safety
conditions of the plant. While conducting this study, it was
found that workers of different age groups were mainly
suffered from shortness of breath and fatigue. Most of the
injured workers are highly skilled or unskilled.
Overconfidence was found to be the main cause of injuries
and near misses for skilled workers and lack of awareness,
carelessness were common in unskilled workers. It is also
found that different types of diseases generally happen in
thermal power plant, some diseases also occurs like kidney

diseases etc. In near future although these are not found in
our diseases. This work also emphasizes on the main causes
of accidents in thermal power plant, total number of
accidents occur in past few years (from 2007 to 2014) and
which body part got most affected due to these accidents.
The main aim of this study is to find out the various
occupational diseases, hazards and accidents in thermal
power plant, also to find out a scenario of total occurrences
of accident and their main causes.

Student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, NITTTR Bhopal, (M.P), India 3 Professor, Department of Fire technology and Safety Engineering, IES-IPS Academy, Indore (M.P), India 4 Professor, Department of Fire technology and Safety Engineering, IES-IPS Academy, Indore (M.P), India Abstract Thermal power plant uses coal as fuel for their working. Coal after burning leaves ash. Disposal of this ash is also one important task. Ash comes in contact with open environment and has adverse effects on health of human being. Due to these various health problems like skin diseases, breathing problem etc. are started in man working under those premises. Some other elements like boiler, turbine, generator, material handling are those elements due to which hazards and accidents take place while operation and maintenance of these. This work focuses on identification of various Occupational diseases and injuries, health risks associated with the man power working in thermal power plant. This data were collected by questionnaires and personnel interview of the workers working in different section of the thermal power plant like boiler section, turbine & generator section, coal & ash handling plant, hydrogen plant etc. Analysis is done in terms of different variables, such as age, skills experience, type of injuries and type of diseases. Results are shown in the form graph and chart. The results indicate a remarkable and visible impact on health of workers during operation and maintenance. Key Words: Occupational hazards and Diseases, health risk, Injuries, Questionnaires, Personnel interview. --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Thermal power plant has caused environmental impacts at all stages of the process in the area. It also caused various occupational diseases and injuries to the workers working. Each Occupational disease and injury has a major effect on economy due to loss of productive hour, man-power losses, compensation to the victim’s. Due it this reason for reduction of all occupational diseases, injuries/fatalities, corrective and preventive measures should be done. There are several kinds of ailments which were recorded in the thermal power plant. These included Allergic reactions that interfered with breathing, asthma , emphysema ,chronic bronchitis, Lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis ,wheezing, stroke, Chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, irregular heartbeat, swelling in legs and feet (not caused by walking), skin allergies, High B.P, anxiety, eye irritation and fatigue.. There are several legal parameters which are proposed and regulated by the government and other safety organizations. These parameters are essential to be followed up for safe working operation and conditions. Risk = Consequence × Likelihood Some common safety rules and regulations which are essential in the power plant to follow up given in the:  Factories Act 1948 & M.P./C.G. Rules 1962  The Indian Boiler Act 1923 & Regulations,1950 (Amendment 2007)  Water Act -1974  Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989.  Indian Electrical Act 2003 & Rules 1956  IS Standards  OSHA Standard 1970  Third Schedule (See section 89 and 90) ,List of Notifiable Diseases ,The factories Act,1948 Breaches of these laws and regulations generate hazards which can cause the harm by generating;  Unsafe act  Unsafe conditions  Behavioral mishaps In present scenario of visited thermal power plant we have seen the various breaches of laws and hazardous conditions which may lead to the threats to the people, property and environment. 2. TERMINOLOGY Accident- A sudden event that results in an undesired outcome such as property damage, bodily injury or death.

Injury- Physical damage to body tissues caused by an accident or by exposure to environmental stressors. This injury may lead to death and is then called a "fatal accident" or may cause partial disability or lead to sick leave for a period of time. Hazard- Any existing or potential condition in the workplace which, by itself or by interacting with other variables can result in death, injury, property damage or other loss. Simply, hazard is a potential source of harm. Risk- The likelihood of harm (in defined circumstances). Harm- The loss to a person (or people) as a consequence of damage. Damage - The loss of inherent quality suffered by an entity (physical or biological). Danger - The degree of exposure to a hazard. Safety - The absence of danger. Occupational safety - Risk identification at the workplace and preventive measures takes to reduce or eliminate the hazard which may lead to accident. Safe behaviour- Acting in such a way that no risk of injury is caused by one's behaviour. Safety professional- A person whose basic job function and responsibility is to prevent accidents and other harmful exposures and the personal injury, disease or property damage that may ensure. Occupational Health: The protection and promotion of the health of workers by preventing and controlling occupational diseases and accidents and by eliminating occupational factors and conditions hazardous to health and safety at work. Health Hazards- When work is associated with health hazards, it may cause occupational diseases, be one of the multiple causes of other diseases or may aggravate existing ill-health of non-occupational origin. In developing countries, where work is becoming increasingly mechanized, a number of work processes have been developed that treat workers as tools in production, putting their health and lives at risk. The occupational health lessons learned during the industrial revolution should be borne in mind in planning for health developing countries if such problems are to be avoided. Occupational Hygiene- This is the practice of assessment and control of environmental factors and stresses arising in or from the workplace, which may cause injury, sickness, impaired health and well-being or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers or among the citizens of the community. It encompasses the study of:  Toxicology  Industrial processes  The chemical and physical behaviour of air contaminants.  Environment sampling techniques and statistics  The design and evaluation of ventilation systems  Noise control  Radiation protection  The health effects of occupational hazards Occupational Diseases- Occupational diseases are adverse health conditions in the human being, the occurrence or severity of which is related to exposure to factors on the job or in the work environment. Such factors can be:  Physical: e.g. heat, noise, radiation, vibration, light.  Chemical: e.g. solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, dust.  Biological: e.g. microorganisms; virus, bacteria, protozoan, insect or other living organism.  Ergonomic: e.g. improperly designed tools or work areas, repetitive motions.  Psychosocial stressors: e.g. lack of control over work, inadequate personal support.  Mechanical: These mainly cause work accidents and injuries rather than occupational diseases. Techniques used in recognizing health hazards- 1. Material Inventory 2. Process Inventory 3. Walk-through occupational hygiene survey 4. Air-sampling programmes Exposure measurement techniques- These techniques are based on the nature of hazards and the routes of environmental contact with the worker, e.g.  Air sampling can show the concentration of particulates, gases and vapours that workers may inhale.  Skin wipes can be used to measure the degree of skin contact with toxic material that may penetrate the skin.  Noise dosimeters record and electronically integrate workplace noise level to determine total daily exposure. Aim of occupational safety- The occupational safety philosophy has been developed in order to:  Prevent need less destruction of health and waste of human and other resources.  Raise the morale of workers  Prevents inefficiency in the workplace due to the effects of accidents  Prevents social harm caused by accidents  Promote accident prevention. Causes of occupational accidents and injuries 1. Human factors 2. Environmental factors 3. METHODOLOGY Methodology adopted for this work is based on the information available from the workers of different section and different age groups working in thermal power plant by the systematic questionnaire and personal interview. The main objective of this study is to find out the various occupational diseases, hazards, accidents and prepare a systematic safety measures to minimize them. The interview can be conducted randomly on 100 workers. Questioners and checklist against which this work can be conducted are as follows; APPENDIX 1 - Occupational Questionnaire
