Types of industrial disaster

By Akshansh Pandey
 1.Slips and Falls: workers have to carry heavy loads
from one place to another. Due to oil spill on the
way or wet staircase, the workers slip and injure
themselves. Sometimes, due to lack of training or
lack of non-slip footwears is also the cause of injury.

TYPES OF 2.From falling objects: in many industries, workers

and engineers have to work at a great height and
handle the heavy machines whereas there is always
INDUSTRIAL a possibility of falling objects. Sometimes, the
objects are not placed properly or placed on high
DISASTERS shelves can also cause severe injury.

3.Pipe Burst: pipelines are commonly used in

industries to transport liquid or gas. It is fast, cheap
and easiest mode of transport. But due to poor
maintenance, or high pressure, it bursts. Seeping of
poisonous gas into air, kills many people working in
the industry and nearby areas. Therefore, chemical
explosion, due to reaction causes serious industrial
disasters.

Mitigation ( Non-Structural)
By Shreyash Manjare
  Non-structural mitigation in
emergency management involves
what people can do on a personal
level that is not structurally or
physically evident as a protective
defence such as a surge wall or a
What is non- storm shelter. Non- structural
mitigation in general would involve
structural things such as having flood
mitigation ? insurance. In addition another
example would be a family creating
a family emergency plan.  Any
mental preparedness, training,
insurance, discussion, and planning
would be considered items of non-
structural mitigation.
 i) Legal Framework :
 Industry should built a legal framework by
following appropriate building guidelines .
ii) Incentives :
 By suitable incentives people could be
included to adopt safe measures.

Non structural iii) Insurance:

levels in an essential part of disaster
management. Separate training for
