RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT

1. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 Risk Assessment Risk assessment is the examination of activities / products that could cause harm to people and their prosperity whether enough precautions have been taken. It is a tool to focus on risk that really matters at work place with potential to cause harm. The project proponent is required to assess risks in the work place so that a plan to control the risk can be put in work place. It is very much essential to identify the probable risks that could cause serious harm to life.

Flow chart showing steps in risk assessment

M/s. Grasim Industries maintains a high standard of safety in its process plants through appropriate procedures and practices but accidents do happen, and therefore, a well documented Preparedness to control such situations to minimize / prevent loss to men and material is absolutely necessary. The On–Site Emergency Plans presented here make a fair appraisal of the extent of impact, which such accidental situations may have within and outside the plant and also details the steps to taken by different agencies to control the situation. The goals of this on- site emergency plan is as follows: ‹ To minimize casualties and prevent loss of life as well as damage to property and the environment ‹ To control and contain emergencies effectively at the incipient stage itself so as to restore the plant to normal operations ‹ To preserve relevant records and equipment ‹ To collect pertinent information needed in the investigation of incidents

1.2 Disaster Management Plan 1.2.1 Definition Disaster management aims to increase the likelihood that an area will be able to anticipate, resist or recover from the losses sustained from a hazard or other threat without external assistance. Disaster Management Plan for any unit is necessarily a combination of various actions which are to be taken in a very short time but in a present sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men, material, plant/machinery etc. to the minimum. Hence, disaster management plan is very much required to avert any disaster.

A situation which goes beyond the control of available resource of the plant A situation apparently may not have much loss Risk of loss of but its long-term human lives severity can affect loss of life, production and property.

Figure 7.13: Situation showing when a disaster occurs

1.2.2 Scope Disaster management conveys the important idea that protecting populations and property also involves the estimation of risks, preparation, activities which will mitigate the consequences of predictable hazards and post-disaster reconstruction in a way that will decrease vulnerabilities. An effective response to disaster begins with effective planning, but must include many other steps. Each of these steps depends on the strength of other links in the disaster management chain. An important element of mitigation is emergency planning, i.e. recognizing accidents as soon as possible, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency procedures, both on-site and off-site, that would need to be implemented in the event of an emergency.

1.2.3 Objective The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be:

Proposed Expansion of Pulp Plant, VSF Plant, Sulphuric Acid Plant, Carbon Disulphide Plant and Captive Power Plant along with new Excel Fibre Plant At Village: Kumarapatnam, Taluka: Ranebennuru, District: Haveri, Karnataka Risk Assessment Report

‹ To localize the Risk and, if possible eliminate it ‹ To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property ‹ Ensuring efficient response and relief with a caring approach ‹ To regulate the disaster response to the benefit of the community and visitors ‹ To establish those most vulnerable and at risk ‹ Elimination should require prompt action by operations and works emergency staff using, for example, fire-fighting equipment, water sprays etc ‹ Minimizing the effects may include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation and giving information promptly to people living nearby. ‹ Encouraging mitigation measures based on state-of-the-art technology and environmental sustainability.

1.2.4 Risks/ Hazards associated with the manmade fibre industry The most significant hazard associated with the fibre manufacturing occurs during the operational phase. Hazards during operational phase of fibre manufacturing are: ‹ Process hazards ‹ Fireṡ and explosions: Fire hazards may occur in fibre godown, sulphur godown, charcoal godown, coal yard and electric short circuit. Explosions may incur in power plant. ‹ Chemical hazards - Inhalation and dermal contact exposures to chemicals during plant operations is the prime source of such hazards which can be managed through Job safety analysis, Industrial hygiene surveys, Worker training, Work permit systems, Use of personal protective equipments, Use of toxic gas detection systems with alarms, Safety mock drills & manuals, Periodic check of tools, tanks etc. ‹ Hazardṡ in confined spaces - Accidents may vary in the facility depending on the design, on-site equipment and infrastructure. It may also include reactors. Hazards occurring in the confined areas can be managed through Developing and implementing confined space entry procedures.
