 DEFINTION

Industrial safety is primarily a management

activity which is concerned with
 Reducing
 Controlling
 Eliminating hazards from the Industries or
industrial units

Department of Mechanical Engineering,SJBIT

 FOUR E’S OF SAFETY
 Engineering: i.e safety at the design,equipment installation
stage
 Education: i.e education of employees in safe practices
 Enlistment:i.e it concerns the attitude of the employees and
management towards the programmed and its purpose.This
necessary across the interest of employees in accident
prevention and safety consciousness
 Encouragement:i.e to enforce adherence to safe rules and
9
practices
Department of Mechanical Engineering,SJBIT
FIVE E’S OF ACCIDENT PREVENTION

 Education and training(To prevent unsafe acts)

 Engineering controls(To prevent unsafe conditions)
 Enforcement(Safety Rules)
 Enthusiasm (To maintain Interest)
 Example Setting(To lead for safety)

SIGNIFICANCE OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
 Cost of compensation

 Cost of medical-aid

 Cost of training a new worker

 Cost of the lost time

 Cost of investigation

 Cost of supervision and inspections

11

Department of Mechanical Engineering,SJBIT

OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY
 To prevent accidents in the plant by reducing the hazard to minimum
 To eliminate accident caused work stoppage and lost production
 To achieve lower workmen’s compensation,insurance rate and
reduce all other direct and indirect costs of accidents
 To prevent loss of life,permanent disability and the loss of income of
worker by eliminating causes of accidents
 To evaluate employe’s morale by promoting safe work place and
good working condition
 To educate all members of the organisation in continuous state of
safety mindless and to make supervision competent and intensely
safety minded 12

 ACCIDENT

It is any unplanned event that result in injury or ill

health of people or damage or loss of property,
materials or the environment or loss of business
opportunity.
Accident may occur due to
Human error caused due to UNSAFE practice
Mechanical failure
13
 Acts of Nature
Department of Mechanical Engineering,SJBIT
FACTORS OF ACCIDENTS
Accident occur due to the following factors
 Lack of risk awareness
 Lack of knowledge on the activity being undertaken
 Lack of safety aspects in design
 Lack of commitment to safety
 Lack of control
 Lack of education, training and motivation
 Lack of teamwork and safety culture
 Lack of discipline
 Failure to learn from past experiences of similar incidents
 Lack of continuous efforts in training employees
 Failure to employ competent and well trained people
14
 No efforts to prevent hazards by employing safer designs or by adopting control methods.

TYPES OF ACCIDENTS AND CAUSES
i.Combustible material ignition by heat: it’s principle course is
spark, flame electric spark, flash over, insulation failure rapid energy
conversions.
ii. Weak construction: overload, vibrations, and mechanical failures.
iii. Over-stress: material failure, impact, over pressure, ageing part
failure.
iv. Flash over’s or shocks, explosions in electrical equipment:
encroachment in high field zone, abnormal condition implants, over

voltage, over heating of electrical plants/equipment .

CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENTS

According to causes of events:

1. Machine accident: Machines are responsible for a large number of
accidents in industry. Depending on the way harm is caused, accident from
machines can be classified inn to following groups.
➢ Contact: physical contact of the body with ay moving part or machine.
➢ Impact: parts of the body are violently hit by moving parts of
machines.
➢ Traps: parts of body caning between morning parts which mostly lead
to rushing of body trapped.
➢ Ejection of particles: parts projection at very high velocity from the
machine, which cause serious injury when they hit the parts of moving
body.

.
NON MACHINE ACCIDENT

➢ Fall of person from a height which can be due to

i. Hack of firm foot hold or unsafe postures.

ii. Working on a machine at a height.

iii. Leaning on a ladder or from it to reach a distant object.

iv. Strike against the object.

v. Pushes on the other persons on the slop.

➢ Fall of persons which can be due to

i. Tripping over obstacles on ground.

ii. Slipping due to oily or greasy substances.

17
iii. Running inside the shop, sudden fean or excitement

ACCORDING TO LENGTH OF RECOVERY

➢ Lost time accident: lost time accident are those I which

worker loses a day or shift in which accident occurred. These

require payment compensation from employer to employee.

➢ Home-case accident: In this type of accident, worker loses

the remaining of the shift on twin on which the accident has

occurred.

➢ First aid cases: in this, workers receive first aid attention at

18
plant a hospital and then return to their job.
Department of Mechanical Engineering,SJBIT
ACCORDING TO NATURE OF INJURY

➢ Fatal accidents: In which the worker or more are killed.

➢ Permanent disablement: which incapacitate an

employee and make it impossible for him to engage in any

work, which was capable of performing at the time of the

accident.

➢ Temporary   disablement: this reduces the earning

capacity of an individual in the employment. 19

SAFETY INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Safety Audit :

Safety audit subjects each area of a company’s activity to a systematic

critical examination with the object of minimising loss

Safety survey:

Safety survey is a detailed examination in depth of a narrower field of

activity

Safety Inspection:

A routine scheduled inspection of a unit or department,which may be

carried out by someone from within the unit,possibly accompanied by 20
the safety advisor
