Inhouse training course on "Internal Safety Audit" organised on 13th & 14th July, 2010, at Finolex Industries, Ratnagiri. 22 officers attended the training course.

CbI (Cautions before an Incident & Causes behind an Incident)Incident in Brief:

Flashover occurred while racking in SFU (switches fuse unit) feeder of MCC causing burn injury to two persons.

Sequence of Events:

• Cable termination job at SFU feeder of MCC was completed by two persons.

• After completion of the job, racking started. During this operation, shutter of vertical bus bars was creating obstruction.

• To help operation the person used non-insulated type screwdriver to open the bus bar shutter. During this action the gap between the bus bar and metallic enclosure got bridged causing flashover of the bus bar due to short circuit.

CBI (Cautions Before an Incident):

• Alignment issues during racking in operation needs discussion,

understanding and corrective actions need to be taken.• Lack of understanding of risk – Training & accurate

communication about the operation and risk involved.

CBI (Causes Behind an Incident):

• Improper selection of tools: Healthy tools should be used. In this case non-insulated type screwdriver was used for operating shutter. Use of insulated screwdriver could have avoided the incident.

• Failure to use proper safety gears, use of face shield & electrical safety gloves, could have avoided the incident.

The data available for a six year period from 2004 to 2009 reveal that the there were 3701 fatalities during this period with a progressive increase from 534 in 2004 to 651 in 2007 and then registering a decreasing trend of 622 in 2008 and 571 in 2009. Perhaps this decreasing trend could be attributed to stricter enforceent of Traffic Rules by the Police in Mumbai after increase in road accidents such as incidents involving one Mr. Pereira mowing down to death about 7 Construction Workers during late night in Brandra, few years back. Besides the fatalities that occurred during the six year period, there were 13,405 Serious Accidents on city streets were due to Driver’s faults such as rash driving, not observing the basic traffic rules, drunken driving ect. 99 accidents were due to pedestrians’ faults. Some of the sginificant revelations of the Analysis made theirin are summarised below:

• Many accidents occur during the night when the roads are empty and there are fewer policemen on the road.

• Motor driving schools, through graded by RTO according to the quality of training provided, do not provide adequate and proper training to the students.

• The trainnees strat training with hatchbacks for a short

duration and then start driving an SUV without even basic knowledge of the size and acceleration of these powerful vehicles.

• Duration of Training in driving schools range from 15 to 20 minutes per day, which is not adequate for the porpose of ensuring safety.

• Most of training schools except few like Western India Automobile Association do not have simulators for training, where in they can learn to maneuver traffic.

• Our city roads are narrow and some of them do not have adequate footpaths. Hence, the drivers and pedestrians must be aware of the conditions and speeds limits.

• Fatalities were also high among two wheeler drivers and pillion riders as they do not wear helmelts. Consequently they suffer servere head injuries from which it is very difficult to survive.

• Dumper drivers, heavy vehicle drivers drive dangerously and contribute to accidents. It is known that dumper drivers are paid per trip and so they might like to drive fast and earn more.
