Safety majors for Chemical Industry..

Chemical industries are process industries, primarily engaged

inconverting raw material into intermediates or end products by
physicalorchemicalmeans.Processactivitiesconsistofmanufacturing,stora
ge,handlingandtransportationofhazardouschemicalsinbulkor
packagedconditiontothefinalconsumers.Asthechemicalindustryhasgrown
in size and complexity, there have been increases in hazards towhich the
laboratory personnel, industrial workers, nearby residents andthe
surrounding environment are exposed directly or indirectly. The riskis
sometimes further compounded by unsafe handling of plantoperations at
the chemical units, as these units are generally not readyto handle
extreme conditions. There might be typical adverse effects inthe form of
chemical explosions or industrial fires which can

theSOPs.Thishelpsin instanceswhenthechemicalsrequire

appropriate ventilation anddrainage in the event of a container breach. Good
ventilation in both thestoreroom and workspace can ensure the air quality in
both places. Exhaustvents inaworkareamightbe requireddepending

working and recently inspected fire extinguisherstops small fires from
becoming larger. On-site firefighters may requirefirefighting
equipment,suchaswatersourcesandhoses.

5. CleanlinessisNexttoSafety.Keep workstationsclean and organized

topreventaccidents.Wetfloorspromotefalls. Cluttered
workareasencourageinadvertent spills or mixing. To reduce clutter, keep
excess chemicals in theiroriginal containers until needed. Give workers a
disposal area near theirworkstationstosafelygetrid ofused chemicals .
Workers must also have access to a place to leave work clothes at
thefacility. Washing machines at work prevent workers from taking
homepotentially contaminatedclothesforcleaning.
6. KeepSafetyGearinSight.Tokeepemployeesawayfromchemicalexposure,safetyg

goggles, respirators, and gloves. Encourageworkerstouse

occur when safety gear is neglected. Making it easier

7. DesignateaLocationforFoodand Drink.Forbideatinganddrinkingaroundthe
work area to prevent workers from accidentally ingesting chemicals.Createa
specificlocationfarfromthechemicalstorageandworksiteforeating, drinking,
and breaks. Near this spot, give employees ready access tosinks and soap for
handwashing before eating or drinking. This washes offany possible chemical
residue from the hands and can prevent accidentalingestion. Prohibiting any
food or drinks near the work area is the easiestwaytopreventcontamination of
eitherthechemicalsorthe food.

8. CreateaChainofResponsibility.Haveaclearlyoutlinedchainofcommandtorespond
in theeventofan emergency. Employeesateachlevelofresponsibility should
work each shift. Teach each worker whom they shouldreport to if an accident
occurs. This requires planning to avoid a situation inwhich the appropriate
supervisors don't show up to work. Have a list
ofalternatesassubstitutesshould someonefallsick.

9. GiveNewEmployeesaLanguageCourse.Toooften,thejargonusedbyemployees
around chemicals may seem like a foreign language to new hiresor transfers.
Confusion and mistakeshappen when workerscannotunderstand each other.A
quick course in the words used in the work area canprevent disasters with a
simple language lesson. For example, an employeewho never heard the term
"black Betsy" for a boiler may become
confusedandmisinterpretadirection.Learnallthejargon usedby
employeesandpassthisinformation to new hirestoavoid communicationerrors.

10. Practice,Practice,Practice.Practicesafetyproceduresforemergencies.Fire
drills and chemical spill drills will keep the skills employees learnedduring
training finely honed. When an emergency does arise, the employeeswill
know their roles and functions to mitigate harm to themselves and
thebuilding.
