Impact Assessment Report for Athani Sugars Ltd.(Bhambavde) CHAPTER 7 ADDITIONAL STUDIES Prepared By .Yogiraja Industrial Consultant 185 Impact Assessment Report for Athani Sugars Ltd.(Bhambavde) DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SUMMARY OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION Additional study on disaster management plan has been included out in this chapter along with summary7.1 RISK of publicANALYSIS consultation. AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN ASL unit 2 will be a new growth oriented center in the Shahuwadi taluka. Such unit can pose threat of danger / hazard due to storage of hazardous materials. The power plant also poses electrocution, fire, and explosion hazards. When the full fledged activities of sugar, alcohol & co-generation will gear up, they will have to follow Factories Act 1948 with all amendments till today and any directives from Director Safety, Health & Environment [SHE] will automatically be binding on ASL. In such condition to appoint a qualified Safety Officer is a must & will be an adequate, wise step in such direction. On site and off site disaster control plans and their perfect implementation will be part and parcel of the management & such safety officer. To lessen the probability of hazard to occur & avoid the consequent damage, a disaster management and control plan has to be worked out for whole complex in anticipation to the threat.7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT The main objective of the risk assessment study is to propose a comprehensive but simple approach to carry out risk analysis and conducting feasibility studies for industries and planning and management of industrial prototype hazard analysis study in Indian context. Risk analysis and risk assessment should provide details on Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) techniques used world-over to determine risk posed to people who work inside or live near hazardous facilities, and to aid in preparing effective emergency response plans by delineating a Disaster Management Plan (DMP) to handle onsite and offsite emergencies. Hence, QRA is an invaluable method for making informed risk-based process safety and environmental impact planning decisions, as well as being fundamental to any facility-siting decision-making. QRA whether, site-specific or risk-specific for any plant is complex and needs extensive study that involves process understanding, hazard identification, consequence modeling, probability data, vulnerability models/data, local weather and terrain conditions and local population data. QRA may be carried out to serve the following objectives. Identification of safety areas Identification of hazard sources Generation of accidental release scenarios for escape of hazardous materials from the facility Identification of vulnerable units with recourse to hazard indices Estimation of damage distances for the accidental release scenarios with recourse to MaximumPrepared By Credible .Yogiraja Accident Industrial (MCA) Consultant analysis 186 Impact Assessment Report for Athani Sugars Ltd.(Bhambavde) Hazard and Operability studies (HAZOP) in order to identify potential failure cases of significant consequences Estimation of probability of occurrences of hazardous event through fault tree analysis and computation of reliability of various control paths Assessment of risk on the basis of above evaluation against the risk acceptability criteria relevant to the situation Suggest risk mitigation measures based on engineering judgement, reliability and risk analysis approaches Delineation / up-gradation of Disaster Management Plan (DMP). Safety7.3 Reports:DISASTER with MANAGEMENT external safety PLAN report/ occupational safety report Disaster can occur as on site or off site variety i.e. disaster on campus or disaster in nearby area causing indirect damage to site area & the complex. DisasterNatural maycalamities occur due to two categories, natural and manmade calamities: cover Flood, Storm / typhoon, Earthquake, Heavy mist, fog, hail storm, LandMan madeslide calamities involve Fire & Explosion, All types of leakages & spillage, Electrocution, excavation, construction, erection, Sabotage, rail & road accidents, mass agitation, Looting, Morcha, war The identified hazardous areas in the complex are : Boiler area - Explosion Turbine section - Explosion Electrical rooms - Fire and electrocution Transformer area - Fire and electrocution Cable - Fire and electrocution Storage facilities – Fire / spillage for alcohol Considering various probabilities the management & safety department has to create safety awareness & preparedness in all employees and people in vicinity area in case of any sort of emergency to occur & a chalked out attempt to surely overcome the disaster in time. This includes preparation of onsite and offsite disaster control plans, their mock drills at least 2 times in a calendar year, reports for the same to DISH & due amendments for the perfect implementation.7.3.1 Level of Accident: If there is any disaster in any part of plant/work place due to any reason the level of accidents from damage point of view may vary. Accordingly accident preventionPrepared By pro .Yogirajagram will Industrial have to Consultant be initiated by safety department simultaneously. 187 Impact Assessment Report for Athani Sugars Ltd.(Bhambavde) 7.3.2 Critical Targets During Emergency Level I Accidents Under this level disaster may happen due to electrocution, fire explosion, alcohol spillage and spontaneous ignition of combustible material. This level has probability of occurrence affecting persons inside the plant. Various hazardous areas identified in the plant are potential areas to beLevel affected II Accidents due to level – I accidents. Disaster of this level can occur in case of sabotage and complete failure of all automatic control/warning systems, and also if the alcohol stored in tank and covered by tank bunds leaks out. However, probability of occurrence of this is very low due to the proposed adequate securit7.3.3 ySite training, Emergency and education Control levelRoom of (SECR)plant personnel & Site Main for theController captive power plant. In each segment of work, from domestic level to war fighting team level approach always helps. If the concerned man is aware of his duty at his place & need of the time, he can complement the huge task of lessening the damage of the disaster. To overcome the emergency in its occurrence, the strategy is to be prepared in advance, plan for the team effort, educate others and reduce all effects of disaster. In case of any disaster main responsibility lies with the Chairman and Board of Directors, where they can nominate one fellow to be responsible person who will be Chief Incidence Controller (IC). In case of disaster key person like Chief engineer, Chief chemist, Distillery manager will be the site main incidence controller and will commence respective duties in that capacity to curtail the emergency & minimize the losses may be occurring. People in all departments can assist in contacting external persons, district, state & central authorities, hospital & ambulance contact and evacuation, if needed, for people in the vicinity with assistance of state transport buses. People from maintenance department can help in rectifying the fault in system. Security persons assist in fire fighting & material movement operation to avoid losses. It is utmost necessary to prepare the control plan & to involve all staff in factory to get any sort of external help / assistance in time to lessen all sorts of damage. To assist the disaster control more effectively a site emergency control room (SECR) will be established at the plant site. The SECR may be provided with following sections: All site plant layout List of important telephone numbers of Chairman & Directors ASL, Chief Engineer, Chief Chemist,Prepared Distillery By .Yogiraja Manager, Industrial Administration Consultant Manager. 188 Impact Assessment Report for Athani Sugars Ltd.(Bhambavde) Telephone numbers of Navanihal Gram Panchayat, Athani Tehsil, Tehsildar of Athani, Belgaum District collector, Belgaum State transport depot office, Belgaum District & local fire brigade station, home guard, civil defense, N.C.C. unit, State crisis group, Karnatka crisis group, CGO complex, MoEF All material handling & incoming vehicle traffic to be stopped temporarily.
