Risk Assessment Report
RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
1.0 RISK ASSESSMENT

Industrial accident results in great personal & financial loss. Managing these accidental risks in today's
environment is the concern of every industry, because either real or perceived incidents can quickly
jeopardize the financial viability of a business. Many facilities involve various manufacturing processes that
have the potential for accidents which may be catastrophic to the plant, work force and environment or
public. The main objective of the risk assessment study is to propose a comprehensive but simple approach
to carry out risk analysis and conducting feasibility studies for planning & management of industrial
prototype hazard analysis in Indian context.
1.1 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)

Hazard identification involves the identification and quantification of the various hazards (unsafe condition)
that exist in the plant. On the other hand, risk analysis deals with the identification and quantification of the
risk, the plant equipment and Personnel are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the hazards present
in the plant.
Risk assessment involves the identification and assessment of risks to the population exposed to hazards
present. This requires an assessment of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of
population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate consequently, the risk analysis in
present case is confined to maximum credible accident studies and safety and risk aspect related to
expansion and installation project.
Activities requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident
are both onsite and off-site.
On-site- An incident which takes place in an industry and its effect are confined to the factory premises
involving only the people working in the factory.
 Exposure to fugitive dust, noise, and other emissions
 Housekeeping practices requiring contact with solid and liquid wastes
 Alcohol leakage/ spillage through pipeline during pumping & subsequent fire
Off-site- If an incident takes place in an industry and its effects are felt outside the Factory premises, the
situation thus generated is called an offsite Emergency.
 Exposure to pollutants released from offsite/ storage/related activities
 Contamination due to accidental releases or normal release in combination with natural hazard
 Deposition of toxic pollutants in vegetation / other sinks and possible sudden releases due to
accidental occurrences.
In view of the hazards involved in handling and storage of hazardous chemicals and processes “On Site
Emergency Plan” has been prepared. It gives a clear organization structure, including outside agencies and
elaborates the duties to be performed by each individual when situation demands. The plan enumerates the
actions required to be taken by various personal working at different work station in the plant. Particular

EMERGENCY ORGAINZATION CHART
1.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Definition
A major emergency in an activity/project is one which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life.
It may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside the
activity/project. It would normally require the assistance of emergency services to handle it effectively.
Scope An important element of mitigation risk is planning for emergency, i.e. identifying accident possibility,
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.
Objective The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be:

3.3 to 13.5 MW
• To localize the emergency and, eliminate it; and

• To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property.
Elimination will require prompt action by operations and work 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.
1.3.1 Phases of Disaster
There are various phases of disaster including pre and post management of hazardous event that may or has
occurred.
Warning Phase Emergencies/disasters are generally preceded by warnings during which preventive
measures may be initiated. For example uncontrollable build-up of pressure in process equipment, weather
forecast give warning about formation of vapor cloud, equipment failure etc.
Period of impact phase This is the phase when emergency /disaster actually strike and preventive measures
may hardly be taken. However, control measures to minimize the effects may be taken through a well-
planned and ready-to-act disaster management plan already prepared by organization. The duration may be
from seconds to days.
Rescue Phase This is the phase when impact is almost over and efforts are concentrated on rescue and relief
measures.
Relief Phase In this phase, apart from organization and relief measures internally, depending on severity of
the disaster, external help are also to be summoned to provide relief measures (like evacuations to a safe
place and providing medical help, food clothing etc.). This phase will continue till normalcy is restored.
Rehabilitation Phase This is the final and longest phase. During which measures required to put the
situation back to normal as far as possible are taken. Checking the systems, estimating the damages, repair
of equipment and putting them again into service are taken up. Help from revenue/insurance authorities
need to be obtained to assess the damage, quantum of compensation to be paid etc.
1.3.2 Alarm System

A siren has been provided under the control of Security office in the plant premises to give warning. In case
of emergencies this is used on the instructions to shift in charge that is positioned round the clock. The
warning signal for emergency is as follows:

Security. Special Training is being/to be given to the Emergency Task Force on Area Specific Emergency
Response. Specific training is being/to be given to Security for normal as well as Nightshift Emergency
Response.
Rehearsal and Updating of Plan
Emergency plans need to be tested when first devised and thereafter to be rehearsed at suitable intervals.
Individual personnel with duties under the plan should be qualified by exercise which will help to refine the
procedures by identifying deficiencies, difficulties and monitoring response time. To create awareness about
safety and emergency response procedure among the personnel, mock drill should preferably be carried out
monthly.
Rehearsals or exercise are important for all personnel likely to be involved in an accident on or off the site
because:
I. They familiarize on-site personnel with their roles, their equipment and the details of the plans.
II. They allow the professional emergency services to test their parts at the plan and the co-ordination
of all the different organizations.
III. They provide the current accuracy of the details of the plan (telephone numbers etc.) and the
availability of special equipment (fire and rescue breathing sets etc.)
IV. They give experience and build confidence in the team members. In the initial shock and confusion
of real incident, the ability to fall back on established initial actions are invaluable.

3.3 to 13.5 MW
The on-site emergency procedures for each process plant, storage facility etc. should be tested regularly and
that all employees receive initial and refresher training, exercise should be arranged to test each part of the
emergency plan on each plant, stage by stage. Emergency isolation and shut down should be rehearsed.
After each rehearsal or practice, the plan should be reviewed to take account of any shortcomings
highlighted by the exercise.
