When did it fall out of fashion to talk about protecting the lives and safety of water and wastewater workers, as if it were a top priority in the design and operation of public water systems?

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
2. Flood risk:
protecting your organisation
According to the Environment Agency, over 5 million people in the UK live or
work in flood risk area.
The risk of flooding can reduce the value of your business premises and can
make the arrangement of insurance cover trickier or more expensive. The
impact of flood risk on the potential value of your property can be reduced by
improving the flood resistance and flood resilience of the property and its
contents.
In this SlideShare we’ll look at how to assess the risk of flooding to your
business.
3. Conduct a flood risk assessment
All businesses, no matter what kind of premises they occupy or the perceived
risk of flooding, should conduct a flood risk assessment to ascertain the true
risk.
In a flood risk assessment you should examine:
Whether the site or surrounding area features on the Environment Agency
(www.environment-agency.gov.uk) or Scottish Environment Protection Agency
(www.sepa.org.uk) flood maps. If you are in Northern Ireland, areas classified
by the Rivers Agency (www.dardni.gov.uk/riversagency) or your local authority
as being at risk of flood
4. Conduct a flood risk assessment
Your flood risk assessment should examine:
Your proximity to water sources; whether natural, including lakes, streams,
rivers and the sea; or man-made, including canals, lakes and reservoirs (on
request, specialist search providers can provide detailed information about
your individual property, including risk from local groundwater and surface
water).
And include:
•any history of flooding at the site or its surrounding area;
•whether the property is located in a low-lying area; and
•the adequacy of surface water drainage.
5. Monitor flood warnings
Pay close attention to flood warnings
When the weather is inclement, it is prudent to monitor the media for flood
warnings in your area.
The Environment Agency and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency
both provide a 24 hour Floodline – 0845 988 1188. Floodline Warnings Direct
is a free service that provides flood warnings by phone, text or email – register
here.
You can follow the Environment Agency and the Met Office on Twitter:
@EnvAgency and @metoffice respectively.
6. Prepare a flood plan
If your flood risk assessment identifies that your property could be at risk of
flooding, you should draw up a flood plan. For information about how to
prepare a flood plan, click here.
As a minimum, your plan should include:
1.Details of the locations of key property, protective materials and service
shut-off points.
2.Key contact details, for example, Floodline, building services, flood recovery
services and any suppliers’ history of flooding at the site or its surrounding
area.
Preparing a flood plan
7. 3. An evacuation plan for your staff and procedures and checklists
readily accessible to all staff.
4. Details of any specific high value or business critical assets that
would need to be relocated to temporary premises as a priority
(note: you must be sure to advise your insurer or broker of such
assets in order to secure extended cover).
5. Means to protect your property and expedite its recovery.
6. Details of your insurance policy and provider, including any loss
recovery Insurance you may have.
Preparing a flood plan
8. Prevent or limit water entering your property
The Environment Agency recommends two ways that businesses can
protect their properties: flood resistance and flood resilience. More
information about both is provided in the following slides.
You should seek specialist professional advice from a chartered
surveyor to ensure the effectiveness of any flood resistance or flood
resilience measures and also that the work is properly specified and
carried out.
Preventing water damage
9. Flood resistance is the act of preventing water from entering the
property. There are a number of enhancements you may look to make
to your property in order to maximise its ability to withstand the entry
of water:
•Guards – flood skirts, for example, that can be quickly fitted or raised
to protect perimeter walls and stop water from seeping through gaps
in external doors.
•Covers that can be fitted over ventilation bricks.
•“Non-return” valves fitted to drain-pipes, water inlets and outlets
and other pipes.
Flood resistance
10. • Tanking internal floors and basement walls
• Raising damp-proof courses and sealing floors
Important note: Generally speaking, properties – including business
premises – in the UK can only be protected from flood waters to a
maximum height of 0.9m, and in some cases only up to 0.6m.
Where there is a risk of flooding to a depth of over 0.9m, keeping
water out can actually be harmful as the water pressure may cause
structural damage to your building. If you are considering flood
defence barriers higher than 0.9m you must seek the advice of a
qualified structural engineer.
Flood resistance
11. Flood resilience
Employing flood resilience measures will help limit the damage to your
property in the event that is does flood and will enable you to
reoccupy it as quickly as possible:
•Where possible, avoid the use of timber and chipboard in basements
and ground floors and instead build solid or suspended concrete floors
with damp proof membranes.
•In kitchens and lavatories, use water-resistant materials such as
stainless steel, plastic or solid wood rather than chipboard.
•For basements and ground floors, employ a sump pump and ideally
have a slight incline.
12. Flood resilience
• Employ water resistant finishes such as cement render and lime
plaster.
• Raise gas and electrical intakes, electrical sockets, fuse boxes and
wiring and pipes to at least 1.5m above floor level.
• Keep high value or business critical assets above floor level, or
ideally to an area not at risk of flood.
13. Having the right insurance in place should mean that you can claim and
recoup at least some lost profits.
An effective insurance programme caters for denial of access, whether
caused by direct damage to your property or otherwise.
It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider
or broker that you have denial of access cover – whether you have
already been affected, or think you may be affected by floods in an
indirect way in the months to come.
The right level of cover
14. To ensure your business can survive the long-term effects of flood risk
you will need to create a disaster recovery plan, which will include
considerations such as how to sustain critical activities, temporary
relocation, notifying customers and replacing stock.
