Industrial accidents are caused by failures in industrial processes and equipment that can lead to injuries or damage. A key way to prevent accidents is through implementing a strong safety management system with 14 elements like safety policies, training, inspections, emergency preparedness, and safety committees. New technologies can also improve safety, like computer numeric controlled lathes that reduce mechanical hazards. Personal protective equipment, safe site layouts, and following safety rules are essential for worker protection in industrial settings. Engineers play an important role in industrial safety by setting safety standards and designing guards and protective equipment.

2. 1. INTRODUCTION
“Industrial safety is defined as policies and protections
put in place to ensure plant and factory worker protection
from hazards that could cause injury.”
“Industrial Accidents are caused by chemical,
mechanical, civil, electrical, or other process failures
due to accident, negligence or incompetence, in an
industrial plant which may spill over to the areas outside
the plant causing damage to life and property.”

8. 2.INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
MANAGEMENTSYSTEM“Safety management system” means a system which provides
safety management in an enterprise.
2.1.1 Safety policy
2.1.2 A structure to assure implementation of the
commitment to safety and health at work
2.1.3 Training to equip personnel with knowledge
to work safely and without risk to health
2.1.4 In-house safety rules to provide instruction
for achieving safety management objectives
2.1.5 A programme of inspection to identify hazardous conditions
and for the rectification of any such conditions at regular intervals or
as appropriate
2.1.6 A programme to identify hazardous exposure or the risk of such exposure to t
workers
and to provide suitable personal protective equipment as a last resort where engine
control methods are not feasible2.1.7 Investigation of accidents or incidents to find out the case of any accident or i
to develop prompt arrangement to prevent recurrence

system
9. 2.1.8 Emergency preparedness to develop, communicate and execute plans
prescribing
the effective management of emergency situations2.1.9 Evaluation, selection and control of subcontractors to ensure that sub-
contractors
are fully aware of their safety obligations and are in fact meeting them21.10 Safety Committees to identify, recommend and keep under review measures to
improve
the safety and health at work2.1.11 Evaluation of job related hazards or potential hazards and development of
safety
procedures2.1.12 Promotion, development and maintenance of safety and health awareness
in a workplace
2.1.13 A programme for accident control and elimination of hazards before exposing
workers to any adverse work environment
2.1.14 A programme to protect workers from occupational health hazards
3.SAFETY ORGANIZATION:-
The organization of safety on the construction
site will be determined by the size of the
worksite Safety and health duties should be
specifically assigned to certain persons.
10. “Tool-box briefing” should be carried out regularly
Safety organization and management must cover all aspects of the employer’s or
the contractor’s operations

12. 5.MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT SAFETY
5.1. Key principles of machinery and equipment safety
5.1.1.Mechanical hazards:
Hazard
• Rotating shafts, pullies, sprockets and
gears
• Hard surfaces moving together
Crushing
• Sharp edge – moving or
stationary
• Cable or hose connections
Risk
• Entanglement
• Crushing
• Cutting or
puncturing
• Slips, trips and
falls e.g. oil leaksRisk control of mechanical hazards
Fences, barriers, guards and
interlocked gates separate people from
the hazardous action of machinery and
CNC Lathe: Substituting a centre lathe with
a CNC lathe (Computer Numeric Control) is an
example of improved risk control of machinery
and equipment through improvement in design.
13. 5.1.2. Non-mechanical hazards:
• Dust
• Explosive or flammable atmospheres
• Heat (radiated or conducted)
• High intensity light (laser,)
• Heavy metals (lead, cadmium)
• Steam
• Ionising radiation (x-rays, microwaves)
• Mist orfumes
Hazard Risk
• Noise
• Ignition sources
• Molten materials
• Chemicals
• Pressurised fluids and gases
• Electrical
Risk control of non-mechanical
hazards
Gloves.Ear muffs.
Particle half
face respirator.
Safety glasses.
Welding mask.
5.1.3.Access hazards
• installation or removal
– complete access from every area may be required, and involve
disconnection or connection of services such water, air, pipes,
installation of electrical cable to switch board, etc.
• operation
– access for set-up, operation and adjustment.
• maintenance, repair, cleaning, alteration or adaptation
– access to remote areas may be required.
14. Temporary mobile platform.
Risk control of access hazards

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
Safety engineers set up standards of safe speeds, safe plant
layout, safe methods of machine operation, and safe design of
the machine itself. They devise guards and other protective
equipment to be used in operations.
