This document provides an overview of the key plant support services required for a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. It discusses the need for services related to both manufacturing (e.g. security office, fuel storage, scrap yard, toilet facility) and employees (e.g. vehicle parking, canteen, administrative block, sports facilities, residences). For each service, the document outlines design considerations like location, size and key features. It emphasizes that support areas must be separate from production but easily accessible. The document aims to guide planning of ancillary infrastructure required for successful pharmaceutical operations.

13. FUEL STORAGE FACILITY
 Fuel is required in pharmaceutical industries for generating power
during interruption of regular power supply .
 Generally Coal, Diesel can be used for this purpose and storage of
these material is necessary.

15

16. All materials moved to the scrap yard are to be
documented systematically, record of destruction is also
to be maintained.
Precaution during incineration process are necessary
with respect to the material to be destroyed, fumes
generated, toxic gases evolved.
If material is to be discarded then complete procedure for
metal processing is to be used.
Security measures are also important as any material in
scrap yard should not get stolen.
