Risk Assessment
RISK ASSESSMENT INTRODUCTION Industrial plants deal with materials, which are generally hazardous in nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their temperature or pressure of operation or a combination of these. Fire, explosion, hazardous release or a combination of these are the hazards associated with industrial plants. These have resulted in the development of more comprehensive, systematic and sophisticated methods of safety engineering such as hazard analysis and risk assessment to improve the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial plants. The primary emphasis in safety engineering is to reduce risk to human life and environment. The broad tools attempt to minimize the chances of accidents occurring. Yet, there always exists, no matter how remote, that small probability of a major accident occurring. If the accident involves highly hazardous materials in sufficiently large quantities, the consequences may be serious to the plant, to surrounding areas and the populations therein. RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Hazard identification, HAZOP and risk assessment for proposed LPG plant have been carried and risk mitigation measures have been spelled to enhance safety for proposed LPG Plant and same is presented in RRA Report attached to EIA Report Disaster Management Plan for the unlikely event of an emergency is available and same is presented in RRA Report attached to EIA Report. RISK REDUCTION MEASURES Risk Assessment study provides a quantitative technique for assessing the significance of the impact of any facility on its external environment, highlights key areas for greater attention and provides a tool for comparing alternative options. Though, it cannot substitute for close attention to the fundamentals of safety throughout the design process or for design reviews. -

[email protected] FIREMAN GARMENTS & FIRE PROXIMITY SUITS FYRPRO®, FYRAL®, FYRTEX® TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PRODUCTIVE GARMENTS FYRPRO® Series FYRPRO® series fireman garments are manufactured as per EN 469:2005 standard and certified as per 89/686/ EEC - PPE as a requirement of European Regulations. What is the meaning of X, Y, Z and Level 1, Level 2 Protection Levels? Two different performance levels are described in EN 469:2005 standard; level 1 and level 2. Level 2 garments provide higher protection than level 1 garments. Garments should be marked according to their performance levels. For example X2, Y2, Z2 indicates level 2 garment or X2, Y2, Z1 indicates level 1 garment. X defines the heat transfer level for flame and radiation. Y defines the water penetration level. Z defines water vapor resistance level. Following table shows related test methods and requirements for level 1 and level 2.

Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems
Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems Final Report A DHS/Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) Funded Study Prepared by: Casey C. Grant, P.E. Fire Protection Research Foundation The Fire Protection Research Foundation One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA, USA 02169-7471 Email: [email protected] http://www.nfpa.org/foundation © Copyright Fire Protection Research Foundation May 2010 Revised: October, 2013 (This page left intentionally blank) FOREWORD Today's emergency responders face unexpected challenges as new uses of alternative energy increase. These renewable power sources save on the use of conventional fuels such as petroleum and other fossil fuels, but they also introduce unfamiliar hazards that require new fire fighting strategies and procedures. Among these alternative energy uses are buildings equipped with solar power systems, which can present a variety of significant hazards should a fire occur. This study focuses on structural fire fighting in buildings and structures involving solar power systems utilizing solar panels that generate thermal and/or electrical energy, with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic panels used for electric power generation. The safety of fire fighters and other emergency first responder personnel depends on understanding and properly handling these hazards through adequate training and preparation. The goal of this project has been to assemble and widely disseminate core principle and best practice information for fire fighters, fire ground incident commanders, and other emergency first responders to assist in their decision making process at emergencies involving solar power systems on buildings. Methods used include collecting information and data from a wide range of credible sources, along with a one-day workshop of applicable subject matter experts that have provided their review and evaluation on the topic. -
