This document discusses the philosophy and importance of safety inspections at construction sites. Construction work is inherently hazardous and accidents are common, with major causes being falls from height, being struck by objects, electrocutions, and getting caught between objects. The document emphasizes that while hazards can't be eliminated entirely, they can be minimized through proper safety precautions, work permit systems, supervision, use of protective equipment, training, and safety committees. It notes that building and construction workers are among India's most vulnerable laborers, with uncertain work and a lack of amenities. Establishing strong safety provisions at construction sites is necessary to help reduce occupational fatalities.

Abstract
The rate of exploitation of the energy resources has been expanding over time and resulted in reduction of fossil fuel reserves. Efficiency of all resources is crucial both in environmental and economic sense. Using energy inefficiently creates waste in all the world’s economies. It has environmental impacts with regional, local and global implications.The key object is to adopt energy management in every field in order to reduce the wastage of energy sources and cost effectiveness without affecting productivity and growth.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

OPERATION OF POWER PLANT:
Steam power plant facilities constitute a means of power generation that uses the expansion
power of steam. Fuel is burned inside a boiler to heat water and generate steam. This steam is
then used to drive turbines which in turn drive the power generators to make electricity. This
steam is suitable for the use of thermal energy of relative low temperature (below 600 degree
Celsius). The steam coming out of the turbine is condensed to water and is recycled. In order to
improve the efficiency of the steam power plant, some additional functional parts such as super
heater, economizer etc. is also included in the plant. Schematic and different parts are shown
below.

I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Fig:-3 Turbine & Generator Supervisory Display
Coal and Ash System: In this system, the coal from the coal storage is fed to the boiler through
coal handling equipment for the generation of steam. Ash so produced due to ash storage
through ash-handling system.
Air and Gas System: Air is supplied to the combustion chamber of the boiler through a draught
fan. The exhaust gases carrying sufficient quantity of heat and ash are passed through the air
heater and then passed into the boiler. The flue gases coming out of the boiler is of the order of
1000 degree Celsius. This hot gas is passed through different stages like super heater,
economizer, air pre-heater and at last, it is released out through the chimney.
Boiler House: Boilers burn the fuel transferred from the tank and use the resulting heat to
convert water into steam. Inside the boilers are tens of thousands of water carrying tubes. When
combustion commences, the temperature inside the boilers rises to between 1,100 and 1,500
degree Celsius, the water inside the tubes is turned into high temperature and high pressure
steam, and the steam is transferred to the steam turbines. Coal and air in correct proportion is
sent to the boiler house for combustion to take place. Water is supplied to the boiler through the
boiler feed pump. This water is converted to steam in the boiler house.
13. 13
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Super Heater: Super heater is a heat exchanger that increases the steam pressure and also
eliminates moisture in the steam by using the high temperature flue gases from the boiler.
Economizer: The water from the condenser is passed to the economizer which heats up the
water and sends it to the boiler.
Air Pre-heater: Air pre-heater acts as heat exchanger. It uses heat from flue gases and heats
up the air coming from the air intake system. Then this heated air is send to boiler. This ensures
proper combustion and it helps to improve the overall efficiency of the power plant.
Cooling System:
The steam produced in the boiler is sent to the turbine through the super heater. The steam
coming out of the turbine is condensed to water using the condenser and cooling tower
arrangement. The condensed water can be recycled throughout the process. The feed water
pump sends this water to the boiler through the economizer.
The steam is cooled by seawater in condenser, restored to water, and then returned to the boiler
for reuse. This cycle of water, steam to water is repeated over and over again.
Turbine and Alternator:
The steam produced in the boiler is sent to the turbine through the super heater. This steam
drives the turbine. The steam rotates the turbine blades at high speed of 3,000 rpm. The turbines
convert the heat energy into mechanical energy. This turns the alternator, which is directly
connected to the turbines. Alternators convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Conceptual Framework

I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
2.1: PHILOSOPHY OF SAFETY INSPECTION:-
Construction activity is not only an oldest industry but also the largest one in many parts of the
world. It started with the basic human need ‘shelter, home or dwelling house’ and is ever
expanding with the growing population and their growing needs of residential and commercial
buildings, shops, offices, factories, road, bridges, dams, railways, power transmissions lines,
silos, oil and gas installations , air fields, many types of underground, Under- water and above
ground works and works of excavation, foundation construction, alteration, renovation ,repair,
maintenance, demolition, dismantling, erection, fabrication etc.
After agriculture, construction seems to be the second largest economic activity. If mining and
quarrying are considered as a part of or inclusive of construction industry, it becomes the largest
of all industrial activities.
Basic philosophy to improve their working conditions is the safety philosophy. It should be
realized that construction is inherently hazardous industry, contract-based industry, demands
heavy workload, contributes high frequency and severity of accidents, less protected by law,
movable and needs continuous effort to maintain safety at all levels. It may not be possible to
completely eliminate the hazards, but it is certainly possible to minimize them by enforcing certain
safety precautions. The working and service conditions of the workers need to be improved.
Peculiarity of accidents is well known. Falling from height, struck by falling on the flat or into pit,
sump, gutter etc., occupational diseases of lung, skin, locomotors and nervous system, electrical
and pneumatic tools, unguarded machinery, heavy vehicles and working without safety
equipment are the major causes of accidents. Mechanization can eliminate some manual work
hazards. Work permit system, Prompt supervision and first-aid, use of personal protective
equipment and proper tools, training and education and project safety committee are some of the
remedial measures.
It is estimated that about 8.5 million workers in the country are engaged in building and
construction works. Building and other construction workers are one of the most numerous and
vulnerable segments of the unorganized labor in India. The building and other construction
workers are characterized by their inherent risk to the life and limb of the workers. The work is
also characterized by its casual nature, temporarily relationship between employer and
employee, uncertain working hours, lack of basic amenities and inadequacy of welfare facilities.
Construction work is a hazardous land-based job. Some construction site jobs include building
houses, roads, tree forts, workplace repair and maintain infrastructures. This work includes many
hazardous task and conditions such as working with height, excavation, noise, dust, power tools
and equipment .The most common fatalities are caused by the conditions.
16. 16
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
1. Being struck by an Object.
2. Electrocutions.
3. Being caught between two objects.
Construction work has been increasing in developing and undeveloped countries over the past
few years. With an increase in the type of work occupational fatalities have increased.
Occupational fatalities are individuals who die on the job or performing work related task, with in
the field of construction it is important to have safe construction sites. In the absence of adequate
statutory provision, requisite information regarding information regarding the number and nature
of accidents is also not forthcoming. In the absence of such information, it is difficult to fix
responsibility or to take any corrective action. In view of the circumstances explained above, it
has been considered necessary to constitute well safety provision at construction sites with the
help of safety inspection at construction sites.
Safety inspections are a basic tool for establishing and maintaining safe conditions and
discovering unsafe practices at construction sites. Systematic inspections are practical ways to
identify and correct unsafe conditions, processes; equipments and site work action are initiated.
They are an excellent way to prevent accidents from occurring and to safeguard employees. An
additional benefit occurring from inspection is that they give construction works/Employer an
opportunity to point out deficiencies in their area that may otherwise go unnoticed and
uncorrected.
Safety inspections are conducted primarily not to find out how many things are wrong, but rather,
to determine if the things are satisfactory. The secondary purpose is to discover conditions that,
when corrected, will bring the facility up to accepted and approved standards and or regulations.
As consequences, the inspected facilities should become safer and more healthful places at
construction sites.
First-line supervisor, Site Engineers, individual’s employees, maintenance employees, as well as
inspections teams, all function as workplace inspectors. The first-line supervisors are one of the
most important inspectors in construction sites. He/ She is most important to safety inspection
team. The supervisor is the key person because he/she is in constant contact with employees
and is thoroughly familiar with all the safety risks that may develop in the department.
Supervisors should be on the alert at all times to discover and correct unsafe conditions and
practices. Employees, if they are on the alert, also can be of great value in preventing accidents.
Employees should be encouraged to inspect the workplace every day and to report any
hazardous conditions to their supervisor. Employees who are safety conscious will look
continuously for conditions that may cause injury to themselves or others. Maintenance
employees, in particular, should be safety conscious. When maintenance employees are working
in various departments and observe safety risks that should be corrected, they can alert hazards
17. 17
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
by reporting risks to the supervisor of the department. Management should alert its employees
that maintenance people are a great help in locating and correcting hazardous conditions.
The inspection should ensure that the employee is fully aware of safety and health problems and
given practical guidance on how they must be addressed. But even in the smallest company the
safety organization should never give an impression that “ fault- finding” and “ application of
suitable remedies” are their job responsibility and not of the line managers and supervisors. The
inspection should therefore not only be an exhaustive examination of all items of plant &
equipment to determine their safety, but rather to test the effectiveness of the management
system for ensuring safety & health at work.

2.2 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION
Construction safety inspections are the most effective means of identifying hazardous conditions
at the worksite. Construction sites require constant monitoring and observation to keep ahead of
safety issues. We have too many incidents in our construction site, that are why we do workplace
inspections, to find the hazards that cause incidents and do something about them.
The primary purpose of inspections is to direct potential hazards so they can be corrected before
an unintentional injury or illness occurs foe most frequent hazards at construction site. Inspection
can determine conditioned that need to be corrected or improved to bring operations up to
acceptable standards, from both safety and operational standpoints. Secondary purposes are to
improve erection, commission and plant operations and thus to increase efficiency, effectiveness
and profitability.
Site safety professionals identify potential accidents , injuries, safety violations, liability issues,
and risk exposures and offer strategies for mitigating hazards before they damage or injury
employees.
Although management ultimately has the responsibility for inspecting the workplace, authority to
carry out the actual inspecting process extends throughout the organizations. Obvisiouly
,supervisions, foreman and employees fulfill an inspection function, but so do departments as
diverse as engineering, purchasing , quality control, human resources , maintenance and
medical.
As an essential part of a health and safety programme, workplace should be inspected
Inspections are important as they allow you to:-
Listen to the concerns of workers and supervisors.
Gain- further understanding of jobs & tasks.
Identify existing and potential hazards.
Determine underlying causes of hazards.
Monitor hazards control (policies, procedure, and engineering)
Recommend corrective actions.
To examine maintenance and housekeeping standards.
To check the result against plan.
To improved safety standards.
To detect reactive unfinished business.

2.3: Principles of Safety Inspection
The principles on which Safety Inspection shall be conducted can be enumerated as follows:
Seek to be positive rather than trying to faults.
Identify deviations from acceptable standards.
Pointing out on the spots the presence of immediate risk.
Establishing knowledge of the operator about the dangers while operating the machines.
Assessing the static and dynamic conditions of the items.
Monitor equipment and exposure over time by measuring the level of
Vibration, exposure to the chemicals, noise, radiations or biological agents.
Adopt different inspection techniques such as talking to workers and supervisors.
Be professional, impartial and objective.
Indicate strength and weakness in key areas.
Talking pictures without endangering anybody.
Be a means of monitoring safety and health improvement.
2.4: REPORTING OF SAFETY INSPECTION IN CONSTRUCTION
The scope of safety Inspection in construction is limited to assess the safety and health of
construction workers employed in the construction process and safety to the plant and equipment
while Construction and pre-commissioning.
The management system Safety Inspection in Construction is done to accelerate the overall
development of safety Management of Control system. This system of audit provides scope of
examining and evaluation of safety policies and procedures, internal review/inspection program,
training, supervision etc.
The technical system safety inspection is done to access the adequacy and effectiveness of
element such as machine guarding, housekeeping, handling of materials, excavation, electrical
hazards, fire and explosion hazards, waste disposal system work environment monitoring system
etc.

CHAPTER- 3
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
21. 21
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
PLANING FOR INSPECTION:
1. Routine Inspection
2. Planned Inspection
a. Periodic Inspection
b. Intermittent Inspection
3. General Inspection
4. Continuous Inspection
5.Special Inspection
1. Routine Inspection:
Once a comprehensive inspection and analysis of workplace is conducted and baseline for
hazard control is established, routine safety inspections are necessary to ensure that changes in
condition and process do not create new hazards and at the same time to confirm that suggested
controls in baseline survey reports are effectively remain in place. The team conducting routine
inspections also keep switching for new and previously unrecognized hazards but not as
thoroughly as the baseline survey team does. The frequency and scope of routine inspections
depend on the nature and severity of hazards' and complex city of process operation. Such
inspection for an acetylene gas pipeline will be more frequent and analytical than a pipeline
transporting medium pressure, super saturated steam. Routine inspection are carried out by the
shop-in- charge as the leader along with the safety officer and representatives from operation
and maintenance departments of the plant. Some of the potentially hazardous condition gets
corrected then and there and some are noted for initiating action in a planned way fixing up
responsible person, date and time duration.
2. Planned Inspection:
A deliberate, thorough, and system at inspection by design permit examination of Specific items
or conditions .They follow established procedure and check list. They can be periodic,
intermittent, or special.
i) Periodic inspections: are scheduled at suitable frequency, can be targeted to the whole
plant or to the specific area. In general greater the accident severity potential, the more often the
inspections should be scheduled. The person performing the inspections should usually be from
familiar with plant and its operational procedures and should be quick to spot the abnormality.
22. 22
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
ii) Intermittent Inspections:- are made at irregular intervals to focus on problem area where
changes are being made to add new facilities as a part of expansion program for new products or to
debottleneck the persisting problem. Plant manager along with the safety officer carry out the
inspections.
3. General Inspections:
General Inspections cover the pieces not inspected periodically probably here people rarely get
hurt. Office buildings, site stores, lavatory and laboratory within an industry come under such places.
The inspection is one of the most vital tools of safety management. It should be carefully planned. The
team members conducting such inspections should following requisites:
• A sound knowledge of organization, its process and its equipment.
• Knowledge of relevant standards and regulations.
• Systematic inspection steps.
• Method of reporting.
Knowledge of what and where to look for and tracking of corrective actions with time bound
program.
4. Continuous Inspections:
In this system some selected employees spends all there times observing equipment, operation,
electrical connection etc to locate if any hazards existing in the systems monitor it continuously.
5. Special Inspection: There are made occasionally to locate special hazards.
6. Planning For Inspection:-
Planning is essential for an effective inspection. Every inspection must example who, what, where and
how. Pay particular attention to items most likely to develop unsafe or unhealthy condition because of
stress, wear, impact, vibration, heat, corrosion, chemical reaction or misuse. Inspect the entire
workplace area each time. Include areas where no work is done regularly such as parking lots, rest
areas/room, office storage areas and locker room.
Look at all workplace elements- the environment, the equipment, and the process. The environment
includes such hazards as noise, vibration, lighting, temperature and ventilation. Equipment includes
materials, tools and apparatus for producing a product or services. The process involves how the
workers interact with the other elements in a series of tasks or operation.
An effective safety and health inspection program requires the following elements:
Sound knowledge of the facility.
Knowledge of relevant standards, regulations and codes.
23. 23
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Systematic inspection steps.
A method of reporting, evaluating and using the data.
An effective program begins with analysis and planning. If inspections are casual, shallow and slipshod
and result will reflect the method.
Before instituting an inspection program, these five questions should be answered:
1. What items need to be inspected?
2. What aspects of each item need to be examined?
3. What condition needs to be inspected?
4. How often must items be inspected?
5. Who will conduct the inspection?
7: CONDUCTION OF SAFETY INSPECTION:
The following are general guidelines for conducting safety inspections. These guidelines focus on
formal inspections but some elements of the process are applicable to all inspections. When
conducting a safety inspection:
1. Use a checklist. Review the checklist before the inspection begins.
2. Inspect the entire work area or facility.
3. Prepare an inspection sequence - inspect in one area at a time. (Focus on one room at a time, one
floor at a time.)
4. A supervisor or someone familiar with the facility and operation should accompany the inspector to
answer questions that may arise during the inspection.
5. Ask affected employees who work in the area for input. Try to resolve questions during the
inspection, rather than going back a second time.
6. Focus on unsafe acts and/or conditions.
7. Document observed hazard(s) clearly and accurately.
8. Document the participants.
9. Following an inspection, it should be agreed upon that;
a. reasonable dates for correction (based upon the hazard) will be set;
b. priorities for correcting the hazards are set;
c. non-serious hazards are corrected as soon as possible;
d. serious hazards are corrected immediately;
e. if correction cannot be handled in a timely manner, the following measures will be taken to protect
employees:
i) Work procedure(s) are changed;
24. 24
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
ii) Machine are taken out of service:
iii) Operation will be stopped; and/or
iv) Any necessary action(s) will be taken to protect employees.
v) Prepare a written report.
vi) A copy of the written report shall be sent for review to first-line and second line supervisors,
District/Headquarters Health and Safety Officers and/or, other appropriate management
personnel.
vi) The elements of safety Inspection refer to those areas of occupational safety and health
management system which are used as a tool of loss prevention in an organization. Those tool or
management systems shall be reviewed in order to keep them in pace. These include:
o Adequate of aisle space and working space.
o Point of operating guards.
o Maintenance.
o Hand tools.
o Ladder, portable, stops, hoses etc.

8: Reporting of safety Inspection:
Inspection plan should be finalized after the consultation with lead internal &
external safety officer and the client.
The Safety Inspection plan should be designed to be flexible in order to permit
changes in emphasis based on information gathered during the safety Inspection
and to permit effective use of resources .The plan should include:
The Inspection objectives and scope.
Identification of reference documents.
Size of the Inspection team as specified.
Identification of the organization units to be inspection.
The schedule for inspection.
The schedule of meetings to be held with Inspector or management.
The list of documents to be persuade by the Inspection team.
Inspection reports distribution and the expected date of issue.
9: Inspection Team Assignment:
Each Inspector should be assigned specific OS&H system elements or functional departments to
audit/inspection. Such assignments should be made in consultation with the Inspector concerned.
10: Working Document of the Inspection Team:
The documents required facilitating the auditor's investigations and to document

11: Questionnaire of Preliminary Information:
The Inspection team would send to the Inspector and management a questionnaire seeking
information about various elements of OS&H system. This would be filled in by the inspection
plan and returned for study by the Inspection team before the field visit.
12: Executing the Safety Inspection:
This would include a field visit with the Safety Inspection organization by the audit team which
would cover the following activities. During this field visit, the concerned officials of the Inspection
would accompany the team during their visit around the plant.
13 Opening Meeting:
The purpose of an meeting is to; Introduce the members of the Inspection team. Review the
scope and objectives of the Safety Inspection. Provide short summary of the methods and
procedure to be used to conduct the Inspection. Establish the official communications, links
between the inspection team. Conform that the resources and the facilities needed by the
inspection are available. Fix a schedule of visit to individual plants/department. Discuss the safety
inspector, senior management the area of concern and suggested areas of focus by the
inspection. Clarity any unclear details of the inspection plan.
14: Collecting Evidences:
Evidences should be collected through interviews, examination of documents and observation of
activities and conditions in the areas of concern. Clues suggesting on conformities should be
noted if they seem significant even though not covered by checklists and should be investigated.
Information gathered through interviews should be tested by acquiring the same information from
other independent source, such as physical observation, measurement and records.
What type of information do we need to complete an inspection report?
Plant layout and floor plan help inspections to a great deal. Plant drawing can be used in
dividing the workplace into areas based on the process, which helps to visualize the
activities in the workplace and identify the location of machinery, equipment of materials.
Layout drawing shows the movement of material and workers.
It also shows the location of air duct, aisles, stairways, alarms, fire extinguishers and fire
exits etc.
It helps to know what type of machinery or equipment is present and review technical
safety data.

I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
What points to be cover at the time of Inspections?
1) Look for Guarding of Agents; such as:
(i) Missing or inadequate guards against being "struck by"
(ii) Missing or inadequate guards against being "striking against"
(iii) Missing or faulty automatic device
2) Look for structural defects and materials characteristics; such as:
(i) Sharp-edged, jagged condition.

(ii) Hazardous temperature, excessive noise.
5) Insufficient illumination or excessive glare.
Occupational Health & Safety Policy
The occupational health & safety policy is a statement of principle to be used as a broad guide or
limitation to management action. The policy statement is seldom accurate and measurable. The
health & safety policy is the main guideline for the employees; they should feel familiar with the
policy and use it to guide their behavior to maintain the safe working environment.
A good policy describes and establishes the real character of the company and forms the
foundation for:-
Ensuring common and coordinate behavior in the whole organization into a team instead of
a bunch of individual acting in their own interest and priorities.
Strengthening top management and making its work easier. Follow up man concentrate on
fulfillment of goals, instead of directing the organization in details.
Enabling middle and low level manages to make decisions in line with established policy.

EXCAVATION
o Construction work involves excavations for foundations, sewer sand underground services.
o Trenching and excavations work can be highly dangerous, as workmen. Are caught by the
sudden and unexpected collapse of the unprotected sides of a trench.
o Due to pressure of soil on the chest, workmen are unable to breathe resulting in suffocation
and loss of life.
o The possibility of flooding presents an additional hazard.
o Cracks are caused by pressure release as soil is removed or dry in gout in hot weather.
o No soil can be relied upon to support its own weight and precautions need to be taken to
prevent the slides of the sides of excavations of more than1.2 meter in depth to cave in.
Shoring to prevent the collapse of the sides of an excavation consisting of timber or steel frames
with close boarding between frames Barriers along the sides of an excavation to prevent workers
falling into it.
PROTECTION OF ADJOINING BUILDINGS
1. An excavation should not be so close and deep as to undermine stability of any adjacent
Structure.
2. To prevent any collapse or fall of a building or structure affected by excavation work
precautions should be taken by shoring.

elements of the roof and include different areas.
The roofing inspection form has two purposes:
To inform the client about the structural and cosmetic issues that might be hindering the
integrity of the room
To recommend a course of action that will help get the roof back in shape — or preserve the
existing condition if it’s unproblematic — including the cost and timeline.

Chapter XVIII: Stacking and un-stacking
As per BOCW central rule- 188 to 205- The employer shall ensure adequate stacking and Un-
stacking of construction material at construction works.

I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Sacks should not be built within 450 mm of a wall. Most building and party walls are not retaining
walls and may not withstand the pressure set up by stacks laid against them. A 450 mm gap
between the stack and the wall also enables the construction and the condition of stacks to be
checked.
Stacks should not be created where any part will be within 1.5 m of a rail track. This clearance
should be continued all the way along the stack. Extra care should be taken if the storage area is
subject to vibration from rail or road traffic, outside or inside the premises.
The size and shape of a stack depends on the storage space available and on the size, shape,
bulk, weight, rigidity or fragility of the articles to be stored. The following are the commonest
forms of stack:
Column—Single articles placed one above the other.
Square—Any stack, other than a column, with all sides vertical. (Note the stack does not have to
be ‘square’ in the ordinary sense of the word.)
Pyramid—A stack in which the plan area is reduced in every succeeding tier.
Stepped—Stacks with two or more adjacent tiers of the same area and each succeeding group
of tiers of a smaller area than the group on which it is set.
Triangular—Stacks in pyramid or stepped form on two.
Lean Or Pyramid Or stepped on one side and vertical on the
other three sides. (Note the term does not mean that the
stack actually leans against a support.) It is important to
remember that the aggregate weight of the stack is borne by
the lowest tier, which, of course should be strong enough to
bear the superimposed load. Untidy stacks offend the eye
and are rarely safe by construction, since it is usually bad
methods of construction that cause the untidiness. If a stack
appears to be unstable, it should be immediately broken
down and rebuilt properly.
48. 48
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Rules For De-Stacking:
De-stacking is largely the reverse process of stacking. Most accidents involving the collapse of
stacked materials occur during de-stacking. The prime cause of this is haphazard removal. Basic
rules for breaking down stacks are:
— One person only should be responsible for the manner in which the stack is reduced. This
is particularly important where gangs are employed.
— If the person in charge of de-stacking had no part in erecting the stack, he or she should
ascertain its construction before work begins.
— The stack should be taken down tier by tier, so that no part is in danger, as would happen if
the stack were bitten into locally.
— When a large stack has been given a natural fence by building the periphery higher than the
centre, this fence should be maintained during de-stacking. The work should be done outward
from the centre, reducing the periphery last so that there is a barricade to prevent people falling
off.
– If tubular or other fencing has been built in or around the stack, it should be dismantled and
adjusted as the height is decreased.
— As there is a high tripping hazard in the working area of a stack, tidiness and systematic work
methods are essential. Care should be taken to ensure that people working on stacks are at all
times clear of overhead travelling cranes. Proper signaling arrangements should be made and a
lookout should be posted.
All stacking and de-stacking should be carried out under competent supervision.
Chapter XIX: Scaffold:
As per BOCW central rule-188 to 205- The employer shall ensure adequate construction of
scaffold, supervision and maintenance, safe working platform, opening , guardrails, screening net
and wire nets, Tower scaffold, Trestle, Cantilever scaffold, Scaffold supported with Building etc.

3.2 Plant level
At plant level the general manager supervises the health & safety issues and gets the feedback
from the safety department headed by a manager (Safety). The organizational set-up at plant is
as under:
3.3 An important component of successful and effective safety management in the unit is active
and informed participation of employee in safety management activates and policies. Since
employees have been informed prospective on facility, process and situations, hence employer
needs to consult with their employees as they develop and implement a safety management
programme and hazard assessment. Ideally safety information should flow to employer (i.e.
training, education for employees informing effected employees from the buildings of accident
investigation and publicizing companywide) from employee and to employee (through
participation in safety committees, use of anonymous comment boxes and through membership
on safety investigation teams) who employer.
3.4 The safety committee is responsible to ensure that all operations in the plant are being
carried out in a safe way. The safety committee meets once in two months to evaluate safety
standards and discuss the concerned issues pertaining to health and safety. The committee
identifies the need and reviewed by the plant manager periodically to ensure the status of
implementation of recommendations made in the meeting. The follow up of recommendations is
carried out by the safety department.
4. Accident Investigation, Reporting and Implementation of
Recommendations.
4.1 Facilities should investigate the incidences to identify the root causes of accidents to prevent
repeated or similar accidents and to assess the need for improvements in equipment
maintenance, training and operating procedures. The concept of root cause involves identifying
managements, system’s inadequacies or failures, such as poor design or lack of training. To
address the root cause would be to design a failsafe process, or make operators more aware of
proper procedures, rather than focusing on the initiating cause and assigning blame.
4.2 The record of accidents in maintained in the formats prescribed under Factories Rule and
these records are retained in the safety department up-to 10 years.
4.3 The accident report is communicated to top management for perusal and directions. The
implementation of the recommendations is ensured by assigning specific targets, time and
responsibilities to the concerned department and the follow up is done in daily planning meeting
till the achievement. The Audited status for accident Investigation.

I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
4.4 Safety Inspections
In order to ensure that the various activities in the plant are being carried out according to
management’s intentions, it is extremely important that daily/periodic internal/external safety
inspections should be carried out. These inspections should be a regular exercise and should be
carried out by the supervisors and managers. The main intention of such inspection is to control
the potential hazards in the working environment. For conducting such inspections checklist are
designed considering every aspects of safety and every mode of various system elements which
can lead to an accident.
The following types of inspections are being carried out at MUNPL Super Thermal Power Station.
5.1 Safety Education & Training
Training of supervisory and operational personnel provides the most immediate opportunities to
increase awareness of Health & Safety Issues and ensures the competence of employees in
performing their responsibilities. Training programs are key to answer the effectiveness of safe
operating procedures (SOPs), maintenance program, pre start up reviews, emergency response
etc. During the refresher training the employees are reminded of appropriate procedure
periodically and of alterations that have occurred. To minimize the risk of accidents occurring and
to familiarize employees with their assigned tasks, a successful training program for facilities,
with complex chemical processing operation should include the following-
Initial and refresher for all employees.
Procedures to confirm that, all employees are competent to do their job safely.
Additional training after any change is made to the process or to the facility overall.
Formal documentation etc.
5.2During audit the team evaluated the following components:-
Training
Periodic training/ re-training
Safety communication/ motivation/ promotion
The Audited Status for Safety Education & Training
6. First –Aid and Occupational Health Centre
6.1First aid is crucial element in a life threatening condition until medical help arrives. By acting
appropriate and quickly, the outcome of many emergencies can be ruled out. Generally accepted
practices with regards to first aid can be grouped into two activities:-
72. 72
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
Training of employees in first-aid
Acquiring equipment to support first aid.
6.2 An employer is also responsible for providing facilities of occupational health centre for the health
of employees. These include the provision of adequate and appropriate first-aid facilities. The
sincere and planned activity in this area requires the following steps:
Selection and training of first-aid personnel.
Selection, location and maintenance of first-aid and occupational health
centre.
Policies, procedures and processes associated with the use of first-aid
services and facilities.
6.3 The above three points are very closely linked with the nature of the work performed and
likely injuries or disease needing treatment, the location, layout and size of the working area and
distribution of the employees.
7. Housekeeping
7.1 Housekeeping is the most scientific method of storage and handling of raw materials and
finished products and for safer use of chemicals. Housekeeping broadly is a mental habit and it
can be explained completely in few words i.e. A place of everything and everything in its place.
7.2 It is a general practice in industries that anything can be kept at any place according to the
need of the day, while as per rule of housekeeping , things must be kept at proper places every
time and every day. Poor housekeeping is the main reason for increasing risk because of
minor/major accident. Many accident attributes in poor maintenance, falls on broken floors or
wrong down steps or stairs, falls of or from defective ladder, chairs, access to dangerous parts of
machinery through broken or wrongly fixed guards, un-repaired damage to electrical equipment
or ear thing arrangements, plugs, fans etc. may lead to risk of electrical shocks. Dirty windows or
light fittings may reduce the level of illumination, which results in indirect cause of an accident.
7.3 Good housekeeping cannot be left to sudden, unplanned activities but proper planning by
owing active responsibility at the management level is essential for it.
This planning starts from designing and commissioning stage of the unit by designing layout of
the sections and machinery in such a way that it makes easy for order for operations and
cleanliness activities.
The general observations for the facility are:
The aisles, walkway, stairways, gangways and emergency escape routes are free of
clutter.
73. 73
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
The work areas were clean and free of flammable debris.
The trash and other cotton wastes are picked up at regular intervals and stored in proper
disposal containers. As observed during the visit, the trash is not allowed to collect in
corners, under machinery in stairwells or in other out of the way places.
The tool, parts and portable equipment were placed at proper place.
The safety officer while conducting safety inspection checks the housekeeping standards
and bring into notices the faults or lacunas.
Coal handling Plant has dust extraction system and dust suppression system for
effectively curbing dust.
8. Work Environment Monitoring System
8.1 Monitoring of the wok environment is critical from the point of view of ergonomics as well as
safety. The illumination, noise, ventilation levels affect the overall operability of the work
environment. Thus it becomes crucial that they are monitored regularly. Housekeeping also forms
a part of it.
9. Safe Operating Procedures
9.1 The safe/Standards operating procedures (SOPs) provide the basis for coherent, safe facility
operation by supporting safety in day to day activities and in operations training programmes.
SOPs describe site access, process startups and shutdowns during routine and emergency
operation, lock-out and tag-out, confined space entry, operation process equipment or piping
storage, handling, loading and unloading. SOPs addressing operation parameters should include
operating instructions about pressure limits, temperature ranges, flow rates and steps on how to
handle process deviations.
9.2 Further SOPs should be reviewed as necessary to ensure that they reflect current operating
practices (including changes that result from alterations in process, technologies, equipment and
modifications of the facility). And that current information is transmitted as part of employees
training.
10. Work Permit Systems
10.1 The non-routine work being conducted in process area needs to be controlled in consistent
manner. The relevant hazards should be communicated to those doing the work as well as those
operating personnel whose work could be affected. A system of ‘Work Permit’ protects
employees and others from potentially hazardous situation resulting from non-routine operations
that may take place in process area.
10.2 Therefore the development of ‘Work Permit Systems’ is essential for ensuring the safe
performance of operations, which have been proved to be hazardous.
74. 74
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
10.3 At MUNPL Plant the following work permit are adopted:
Hot work Permit
Cold Work Permit
Electrical Work Permit
Height work Permit
Concrete work Permit
Height work Permit:
11. Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)
11.1 The Protective of Personnel for any possible injury during the process/operations involved in
the facilities is one of the duties of the employer. This is too managed by the provisions of a
suitable range of readily available and easy to use protective equipment, so that when the need
for such personnel protection is perceived, preferable by the workers themselves these may be
readily brought in to use. The care and , matching of equipment accurately to the technical and
personnel need is vital , as uncomfortable personal protective equipment will not be worn. The
range of equipment necessary will depend entirely on the type of operations.
11.2 The use of PPE should never be relied on as primary be method of control. Such equipment
is always subjected to breach in integrity that is globe, permeation, respirator, breakthrough,
equipment failure and general lack of hundred percent protections. PPE always need to be used
in conjugation with other means of control such as engineering technology. In this manner the
PPE serves as backup and establishes a reluctant system.
12. Fire Protection
12.1 Fire protection facility at the installation is the outcome of overall “fire safety” system study.
The most basic element of fire safety is prevention. Appropriate design and layout of the facility
and operations procedures and arrangement are essential to fire preventions.
12.2 Matters, which are considered as part of the fire prevention, include:
Building design and compliances with the building regulations:
Elimination/minimization of hazardous materials in storage or in process;
Elimination of ignition sources;
Bund design, construction and capacity
Type of medium suitable for the hazard (for example, minimizing use of fire fighting water);
Separation of incompatible materials; and
75. 75
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
12.3 Fire detection and protection include
Detention of fire pre-conditions, for example, leaks and spills of flammables, flammable o
explosive atmosphere.
Explosive suppression;
Detection of combustion, smoke, flame, early warning system, thermal alarm systems.
Fire suppression, for example, automatic sprinkler systems, foam systems, hydrant
systems, hose reel systems, monitors ( water and foam).
Prevention of propagation for example, cooling deluge systems, drenches systems:
Isolation of fuel supply essentials means of control of gas or liquid flows from storage
vessels, including pump control, valves, switch or control actuators (local or remote).
Ensuring appropriate hydraulic design.
12.4 In addition to fixed fire protection systems, provision for first aid fire protection equipment
and operational arrangements must be considered. Relevant matters to be covered include:
Provision of portable fire extinguishers-size, type, medium, number, location, testing and
maintenance.
Provision of hose reels-number, location type, testing and maintenance. Installed hose reels
can remove the need for water type extinguishers.
Provision of warning signs (including exit signs and first aid firefighting equipment use
instruction signs), location, type, Size;
Site for crews—formation, training, responsibility and drills.
Training of operators/staff—knowledge of plant, materials, emergency actions/shut done
procedures; and
Road vehicles measures—extinguishers and vehicle maintance.
13. New Equipment Inspection and Review
13.1 The introduction and initial start up of new equipment at eh workplace without prior
inspection is an event where the operational force is at the risk. For elimination of risk involved
with the new equipment it should be ensured that the equipment is properly and thoroughly
examined from the point of view of safety requirement to avoid any occupational hazard
associated with that equipment and its operation.
13.2 The major public sectors like NTPC involves procurement and installations of new
equipment time to time, hence it is very important to analyze every equipment through safety
angle.
76. 76
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
14. Machine and General Area Guarding
14.1Wherever there is arisk of exposure to dangerous parts during operations, examination,
lubrication, adjustment or maintenance, the machine and general guarding can play an important
role in minimizing the risk associated with various operations and equipment. The primary
function of guard is to provide a physical barrier, which prevents access to dangerous parts of a
machine. The guards should be designed for easy removal and replacement; this will make tasks
such as cleaning, machine adjustment o belt change easier particularly if this needs to be done
regularly.
14.2 The following hazards associated with machine/ equipment can be controlled with use of
proper guards:
Contact or entanglement with machinery;
Trapped between machine and material or fixed structure;
Contact with material in motion.
Being stuck by ejected parts of machinery;
Being stuck by material ejected from machine;
Release of potential energy;
14.3 There are several types of guard available suiting to particular purposes. They are fixed
guards, interlocking guards, automatic guards, distance guards, trip guards etc.
15. Material Handling and Equipment
15.1 Every industrial activity involves extensive handling of materials by workers as well as by
machines .Most of the accidents leading to injury or sometimes fatal take place due to improper
material handling of mal-operations of handling equipment. The material handling at the
workplace can be split in into two categories, i.e. manual handling and mechanical handling. The
manual handling involves lifting, pulling and carrying of materials etc. and the mechanical
handling of material involves the use of various handling equipment like cranes, hoists, lifts,
conveyors etc.
15.2 The material handling i.e., manual or mechanical poses the risk of injuries/accidents due to
inadequate operations, lack of training in operations, mechanical failure of equipment due to
deficiencies in design and maintenance procedures and due to inadequate system of monitoring
and directions of safe handling of materials.
77. 77
I n P l a n t s a f e t y i n s p e c t i o n S i m r a n S i n g h
16. Safety Manual and Rules
16.1 In addition to the general requirements and consistency issues, the general rules governing
operators training that directly affect the content and structures of operating procedures, are vey
essentials for the following purposes:
Training employees in operating procedures;
Training employees in an overview of the process;
Emphasizing specific safety and health hazards;
Ascertaining that employees have the knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform
the tasks specified in the operating procedures;
Providing refreshers training to assure that operators understand and adhere to the
operating procedures;
16.2 The above training requirements imply for documentations that-
Describe the process;
Emphasizes specific hazards;
States the knowledge, skills and abilities required to follow the procedures.
16.3 An effective way to convey and maintain the procedural information is to develop a
comprehensive operating manual, which can be used as a training document and as a reference
to the operational staff for various operations. By developing a single operating manual, the
management of the facility can reduce the resources required to maintain two or more sets of
documentation i.e. individual operating procedures as well as training material.
17. Health & Safety Improvement Plans
The purpose of health and safety improvement plan is to identify, evaluate and control the
potential hazards related to different operations involved in the process, system to maintain safe
and healthy working conditions, which ultimately results in productivity. Proper planning and
execution of safety protocols protect the employees from accidents and needless exposures to
hazardous situations.
