7.1.2 DOW Index

The Dow index has been performed for raw materials which are flammable. As it is a

manufacturing industry the use of the solvents are limited. The solvents requirement are less in

quantity, therefore the storage of the solvents are mostly in drums. The DOW summary sheet is

displayed below in table no. 7.4 which states that the degrees of hazard for all the raw materials

are light.

The DOW index worksheet is attached as Annexure 7.1.

Interpretation

DOW index was performed for four different materials. The degrees of hazard for all the

materials were understand to be moderate, except for n-Hexane where it was found to be light.

Fire & explosive Index for Toluene was higher than the other materials i.e. 69.3. Therefore the

radius and area of exposure was calculated for methanol drum storage. The radius of exposure

for toluene is determined to be 18.4 m & area of exposure is around 1072.34 sq. m. The impact

would be confined within the factory boundaries. It will lead to an onsite emergency situation

which could be handled through appropriate mitigation measures listed below-

Recommendation/Suggestions

1. The raw materials are stored according to their compatibility with other raw materials.

2. Company has adequate written operating instruction and fully documented operating

discipline for emergency shutdown, normal operating conditions, routine shutdown etc. which

are important for maintaining satisfactory control of a unit.

3. The raw materials are stored in a dedicated area with minimum interference.

4. Appropriate drainage with the slope of 2 % is provided to remove small and large spillage of

the chemicals.

5. The provision of fire water supply is provided through the hydrant line passing from the raw

material storage area.

6. Provision of hand Extinguishers are provided and found to be adequate with reference to the

storage quantity of raw materials.

Degree of Hazard Moderate Moderate Light Moderate




7. Provision of spill kit is provided to deal with the minor spillage scenario.

The existing safety features provided are satisfactory to tackle the emergency situation raised in

the site.

7.1.3 Mond's Index

The principle and general approach used in the DOW method of hazard evaluation have been

further developed by ICI Mond Division, Their revised Mond fire, explosive and toxicity index

is a series of papers by lewis (1979). The main development made to the DOW Index in the

Mond Index are:

1. It covers a wider range of process and storage installation

2. It covers the processing of chemicals with explosive properties

3. A calculation procedure is included to allow for the off-setting effects of good design and

control and safety instrumentation

4. The procedure has been extended to cover plant layout

5. Separate indices are calculated to access the hazards of fire, internal explosion and aerial

explosion.

Most of the raw materials stored in the site are toxic, corrosive in nature. Hence appropriate

standard operating procedure are established by the company for ensuring the safety of the

workers handling the raw materials on daily basis. Some selected toxic raw materials are used for

calculating the toxicity index using Mond's index.

The Mond's index worksheet is attached as Annexure 7.1

Interpretation.

According to the Mond's Index the highest toxicity is calculated for the storage of Thionyl

Chloride i.e. 8.5 indicating high degree of hazard. Thionyl Chloride is a corrosive liquid &

classified as class 8 Corrosive materials under UN DOT classification of Hazardous

chemicals. Very hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of

ingestion, of inhalation. Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on

mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns.

Inhalation of the spray mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized

by coughing, choking, or shortness of breath. Severe over- exposure can result in death. To

reduce the intensity of the hazard following recommendation and suggestion should be

followed.

Recommendations/ Suggestions

1. The raw materials are stored according to their compatibility.

B) Assembly Points

Numbers of assemblies depending upon the plant location are identified wherein employees

who are not directly connected with the disaster management would be assembled for safety

and rescue. Emergency breathing apparatus, minimum facilities like water etc. would be

organized. In view of the size of plant, different locations are earmarked as assembly points.

Two assembly points are identified by the company i.e. one near the main gate of the

company and other one is located near the guest house of the company. Depending upon the

location of hazard, the assembly points are to be used.

C) Mock Drills

The company organizes periodical mock drill / rehearsal every 6 months as per suggested

format by creating an emergency situation so as to verify preparedness and awareness as well

as shortcomings on the part of the person to overcome the same. Sufficient time is provided

prior to mock drill to the emergency services and public for proper response to exercise and

provide training also. Record the deficiencies of the system during the trial and take

appropriate actions to improve the efficiency of the plan in terms of preparedness and

response.

D) Training

By imparting an effective training from time to time, the awareness is being kept alive all the

time to ensure safety awareness, preparedness for emergency situations, good housekeeping,

discipline, etc. Display of safety slogans, operative instructions and motivation for safety

should is made the part of the company‟s normal activities. All the persons earmarked for the

emergency services are trained to respond to the emergency. The company conducts internal

& external training for Environment Health & safety. The training is conducted at a

documented frequency. The external training is conducted six monthly and internal training is

conducted every month.

Training is imparted to the employees by raising siren in specific pattern. Employees are

given training of escape routes, taking shelter, protecting from toxic effects. Employees are

provided with information related to fire hazards and first aid measures.




E) Emergency Power Supply

Plant facilities would be connected to Generator and is placed in an auto mode. Thus, water

pumps, plant‟s lighting and emergency control centre, administrative building and other

auxiliary services are connected to emergency power supply. In all the blocks, flameproof

7.3.9 Fire Water Tank Justification

The quantity of firefighting tank is 200 m3.

The pump capacity in the plant is 171m3/hr, therefore according to the discharge capacity of

the pump installed. The back-up time by which the tank will be empty is calculated below,

Time (min) = [Total water in fire fighting tank (m3)]/discharge capacity (m

3/hr)

= 200/171

= 1.16 hours

= 70.17 mins.

Occupational Health Center of 15 sq.m should be provided in which a part time factory

medical officer shall visit the factory at least twice in a week. Also one qualified person on

First Aid measures will be on duty. First aid box will be provided in every department of the

company. At present there are two first aid box located as per the above table with 5 people

trained in using it. Out of which one person is always on site. Necessary specific medicines

for emergency treatment of burns patients and for those affected by toxicity would be

maintained. Breathing apparatus and other emergency medical equipment would be provided

and maintained in the OHC.

Private medical practitioners & government hospital would be approached in case of

emergency & short supply in the plant. Names of medical personnel and medical facilities in

the surrounding area would be prepared and updated which can be identified in the security

office and emergency control center. The help of nearby industrial managements would be

taken under mutual aid response group agreement if required.

Interpretation

Keeping in view the nature of the emergency, two levels of co-ordination are proposed. In the

case of an On Site Emergency, resources within the organization would be mobilized as

explained in the above section and in the event of an extreme emergency, local authorities‟

help would be sought.

In the event of an emergency developing into an offsite emergency, local authority and

District Emergency Authority (normally the Collector) would be apprised and under his

supervision, the Off Site Disaster Management Plan would be exercised. The detailed risk

analysis has indicated that the toxic effects would be felt outside the factory. Hence it is

suggested that in case of such an emergency event people are advised to stay indoors,

complete evacuation is not recommended. For this purpose, the offsite emergency plan has

been highlighted in the below section, for the facilities that are available locally, i.e. medical,

transport, personnel, rescue accommodation, voluntary organizations etc. would be mustered.

Necessary rehearsals and training in the form of mock drills should be organized in

consultation with the district emergency authority.

7.4 Off-Site Emergency Preparedness Plan

The off-site plan will be prepared with the help of the local district authorities. The proposed

plan will be based on the following guidelines.




7.4.1 Introduction

Off-site emergency plan follows the on-site emergency plan. When the consequences of an

emergency situation go beyond the plant boundaries, it becomes an off-site emergency. Off-

site emergency is essentially the responsibility of the public administration. However, the

factory management will provide the public administration with the technical information

relating to the nature, quantum and probable consequences on the neighboring population.

The off-site plan in detail will be based on those events, which are most likely to occur, but

other less likely events, which have severe consequence, will also be considered. Incidents,

which have very severe consequences yet have a small probability of occurrence, should also

be considered during the preparation of the plan. However, the key feature of a good off-site

emergency plan is flexibility in its application to emergencies other than those specifically

included in the formation of the plan.

The roles of the various parties who will be involved in the implementation of an off-site plan

are described below. Depending on local arrangements, the responsibility for the off-site plan

should either rest with the works management or, with the local authority. Either way, the

plan should identify an emergency coordinating officer, who would take the overall

command of the off-site activities. As with the on-site plan, an emergency control centre

should be set up with whom the emergency coordinating officer & emergency planning

officer can operate. An early decision will be required in many cases on the advice to be

given to people living "within range" of the accident; in particular, whether they should be

evacuated or told to go indoor. In the latter case, the decision can regularly be reviewed in the

event of an escalation of the incident.

Consideration of evacuation may include the following factors:

In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g. an oil storage tank), only

houses close to the fire are likely to need evacuation, although a severe smoke hazard

may require this to be reviewed periodically

If a fire is escalating and in turn threatening a store of hazardous material, it might be

necessary to evacuate people nearby, but only if there is time; if insufficient time

exists, people should be advised to stay indoors and shield themselves from the fire

For release or potential release of toxic materials, limited evacuation may be




appropriate downwind if there is time. The decision would depend partly on the type

of housing "at risk". Conventional housing of solid construction with windows closed

offers substantial protection from the effects of a toxic cloud, while shanty house,

which can exist close to factories, offers little or no protection.

Figure No7.3: Offsite Emergency Plan

7.4.2 Role of the Chief Inspector

Chief Inspectors are likely to want to satisfy themselves that the organization responsible for

producing the off-site plan has made adequate arrangements for handling emergencies of all

types including major emergencies. Chief Inspector may verify the documented procedures

and evidence of exercise undertaken to test the onsite & offsite plan. The copy of the

information furnished to the workers, local authority, general public & District Emergency

Authority is submitted to the Chief Inspector for review. If the Chief Inspector is not satisfied

with the content, he may direct the occupier to supply further information to the workers,

authority, general public & District Emergency Authority as deemed necessary.

7.4.3 Role of the Emergency Coordinating Officer

The various emergency services will be coordinated by an emergency coordinating officer

(ECO), who is designated by the District Collector. The ECO will liaise closely with the Site

Controller. Again, depending on local arrangements, for very severe incidents with major or

prolonged off-site consequences, the external control should be passed on to a Emergency

Planning Officer of the local authority administrator.

7.4.4 Role of the Local Authority

The company will enter into an agreement with the Emergency Planning Officer (EPO) of the

area, within whose jurisdiction the factory is situated for the Emergency officer to take

appropriate steps to inform the general public outside the factory who likely to be affected by

an accident. The information in the prescribed format would be shared with the EPO by the

site controller. The duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with the local authorities. The

emergency planning officer (EPO) appointed should carry out his duty in preparing for a

whole range of different emergencies within the local authority area. The EPO should liase

with the site controller for ensuring that the plan is continually updated.

It is the responsibility of the EPO to ensure that all those organizations, which will be

involved off site in, handling the emergency, know of their role and are able to accept it by

having for example, sufficient staff and appropriate equipment to cover their particular

responsibilities. Rehearsals for off-site plans are organized by the EPO.

7.4.5 Role of Fire Authorities

The control of a fire should normally be the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer

who would take over the handling of the fire from the site incident controller on arrival at the

site. The senior fire brigade officer should also have a similar responsibility for other events,

such as explosions and toxic release. Fire authorities in the region should be apprised about

the location of all stores of flammable materials, water and foam supply points, and fire-

fighting equipment. They should be involved in on-site emergency rehearsals both as

participants and, on occasion, as observers of exercises involving on-site personnel.




7.4.6 Role of Health Authorities

Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances, and similar other

persons/institutions should have a vital part to play following a major accident, and they

should form an integral part of the emergency plan. For major fires, injuries should be the

result of the effects of thermal radiation to a varying degree, and the knowledge and

experience to handle this in all but extreme cases may be generally available in most

hospitals. For major toxic releases, the effects vary according to the chemical in question, and

the health authorities should be apprised about the likely toxic releases from the plant, which

will enable them to deal with the aftermath of a toxic release with treatment appropriate to

such casualties. Major off-site incidents are likely to require medical equipment and facilities

in additional to those available locally, and a medical "mutual aid" scheme should exist to

enable the assistance of neighboring authorities to be obtained in the event of an emergency.

7.4.7 Role of Police Authority

Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property and

controlling traffic movements. Their functions should include controlling bystanders,

evacuating the public, identifying the dead and dealing with casualties, and informing

relatives of dead or injured.

7.4.8 Role of Pollution Control Board

On receipt of information officer of the pollution control board shall proceed to the affected

site. Conduct investigation including collection of data. Ensure that the spills have been

contained with no further damage possible to humans and environment. Further to declare the

area fit for re-entry after the decontamination is completed. In case of an environmental

disaster, the pollution control board shall, based on the contaminant released in to the

environment, carry out with the help of the industry and other agencies, such investigations as

may be necessary to establish the degree of contamination. Arrange for suitable

decontamination using resources available in the area as well as with the board.
