OnSafety Performance as per Indian and

International Standards

1

The primary purpose of measuring health and safety performance is to provide information on the progress and current status of status of strategies,processes and activities used by an organisation to control risks to health as safety.

Introduction

2

Measurement information sustains the operation and development of the health and safety management system system,and so the control of risk by:-#providing information or how the system operates in practice#identifying areas where remedial actions are required#providing a basis for continual improvement #providing feedback and motivation

3

Risk Control Methods

In order to achieve an outcome of no injury or work related ill health,and satisfy stakeholders,health and safety risks need to be controlled.

What to measure?

4

#Direct observation of condition and peoples’ behaviour#Talking to people to elecit facts and their experiences as well as gauging their views and opinions#Examining written reports,documents and records

Railway Safety

7

The term ‘accident’ envelopes a wide spectrum of occurrences with or without significant impact on the system. Consequential train accidents include mishaps with serious repercussion in terms of loss of human life or injury, damage to railway property or interruption to rail traffic in excess of laid down threshold levels and values. These consequential train accidents include collisions, derailments, fire in trains, road vehicles colliding with trains at level crossings, and certain specified types of ‘miscellaneous’train mishaps .

Train Accidents

#Safety Action Plans were continually executed to reduce accidents caused by human errors. A multi-pronged approach with focus on introduction of newer technologies, mechanization of maintenance, early detection of flaws, etc. to reduce human dependence in the first place, along with upgrading the skills of the human resources were the prime drivers for accident prevention.#Periodical safety audits of different Divisions by multidisciplinary teams of Zonal Railways as well as inter-railway safety audits were conducted on regular basis.During 2011-12, 80 internal safety audits and 30 inter-railway safety audits were carried out.#Training facilities for drivers, guards and staff connected with train operation have been upgraded. Disaster Management Modules have also been upgraded.During 2011-12, 98,891 safety category employees attended refresher training 16 .

The Commissioners carry out the duties/functions assigned to them under the Railways Act, 1989, rules framed thereunder and instructions issued from time to time.A gist of main-functions are as follows:(i)To inspect new lines with a view to determining whether they are fit to be opened for the public carriage of passengers, and to sanction their opening after inspection on behalf of the Central Government.(ii) To sanction the execution of all new works and installations on the running track affecting the safety of the travelling public such as rebuilding of bridges,remodeling of station yards, line capacity works, re-signalling works, etc.(iii) To conduct statutory inquiries into serious railway accidents and suggest safeguards.(iv) To make periodical inspections of railways and report to the Central Government on any condition which may endanger the safety of the travelling public and make recommendations.

#Food safety means an assurance that the food is acceptable for human consumption according to its intended use.#”Standard”,in relation to any article offood,means the standards notified by the FoodAuthority.#It is of vital importance to all consumers & food business operators engaged in production,processing,distribution & sale.#It provides confidence to consumers that the food they buy and eat will do no harm to the and that they are protected from adulteration/fraud.

FOOD SAFETY & STANDARD ACT,2006

#The food safety and standard act was enacted by Government of India on 24 August,2006#For implementation,the Food Safety & Standards Authority of India(FSSAI) was constituted on 5/09/2008

Petroleum And

Natural Gas Safety

14

As per requirements of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Safety in Offshore Operations) Rules, 2008

(Rules 23, 24 and 27) the operator shall establish a safety management system and shall ensure

that risk assessment is carried out, which will provide the necessary basis for taking decisions

to give due consideration to health, safety and environment.

Focus should be on following priority:

#Safety of personnel#Protection of the environment

#Protection of assets / minimization of financial consequences of fires and explosions.

Radioactive Safety

Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon and natural sources of radiation are features of the environment. Radiation 1 and radioactive substances have many beneficial applications, ranging from power generation to uses inmedicine, industry and agriculture.

‘Safety’ means the protection of people and the environment against radiation risks, and the safety of facilities and activities that give rise to radiation risks.

Activities such as the medical uses of radiation, the operation of nuclear installations, the production, transport and use of radioactive material, and the management of radioactive waste must therefore be subject to standards of safety.

24

The IAEA is required by its Statute to promote international cooperation. Regulating safety is a national responsibility. However, radiationrisks may transcend national borders, and international cooperation serves topromote and enhance safety globally by exchanging experience and byimproving capabilities to control hazards, to prevent accidents, to respond toemergencies and to mitigate any harmful consequences.

25

IAEA

Safety Objectives

(a)To control the radiation exposure of people and the release of radioactivematerial to the environment.

(b)To restrict the likelihood of events that might lead to a loss of control overa nuclear reactor core, nuclear chain reaction, radioactive source or anyother source of radiation.

(c)To mitigate the consequences of such events if they were to occur.

26

Safety Principles

1.)Responsibility for safety2.)Role of government3.)Leadership and management for safety4.)Justification of facilities and activities5.)Limitation of risks to individuals6.)Protection of present and future generations7.)Emergency preparedness and response8.)Protective actions to reduce existing or unregulated radiation risks

27

Mining Safety

Underground mining is a highly dangerous and hostileenvironment and the most important contributing factors are pressure, heat and worker fatigue. It is, therefore, important to create a safe working environment that will reduce these challenges so thatmining can continue.
