What is hazard and places serving most of it?

The Basics of hazards and the risks associated with them..

~The term 'hazard' means a tendency or an object which develops the tendency of being at the risk (either to human or the property).

~It is observed that there are many industries which are at extreme risk. In specific a risk could be of the following:-

1) Fire and explosion.

2) Electrocution.

3) Biological hazard.

4) Ergonomical hazard.

5) Psychological hazard.

6) Chemical hazard.

~ Now there are some categorically known industries which can address the aforementioned incidents comparatively more than the others and they are:-

a) Petrochemical industries

b) Ship Breaking Industries

c) Chemical Industries.

d) Nuclear power stations.

e) Oil and refinery industries etc.

(B.L.E.V.E) Boiling Liquid Expansion Vapour Explosion & UVCE Explosion.

👉B.L.E.V.E. (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion). A BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) is experienced when containers of liquefied gases, are exposed to fires. It results from the failure of a vessel containing a liquid or a liquefied gas at a temperature significantly above its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure. In case of container failure, a large fraction of the superheated liquid flashes to vapour, resulting in the sudden generation of a large amount of flammable gas. " CLICK:- Everything about BLEVE " Considering the large amount of liquefied gases which are in use both in the industry and society, the risk of BLEVEs is high, as is also evident from large number of instances of BLEVEs, both within and outside industrial premises. Amongst the most dangerous of such explosions are the rupture of liquefied gas containers such as large Horton spheres, bullets (both fixed and mobile), smaller cylinders, etc. If such ...

NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority)

•Introduction :- The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), headed by the Prime Minister of India, is the Apex Body for Disaster Management in India. The setting up of the NDMA and the creation of an enabling environment for Institutional mechanisms at the State and District levels is mandated by the Disaster Management Act, 2005.This unit describes about NDMA, civil defence and disaster recovery plans of industry and corporate. India envisions the development of an ethos of prevention, mitigation and preparedness and will strive to promote a national resolve to mitigate the damage and destruction caused by natural and man-made disasters, through sustained and collective efforts of all government agencies, non-governmental organizations and people's participation, by adopting a technology-driven, pro-active, multi-hazard and multi-sectoral strategy for building a safer, disaster resilient and dynamic India.

Air sampling

Air sampling : - Basic need of air quality sampling and work environment monitoring and analysis is to find the level of pollution and to work out strategy to reduce it. Need of sampling and monitoring is statutorily suggested by Form no. 37,Rule 12B of the Gujarat Factories Rules. The format calls for identification of airborne contaminants, sampling instruments and methods, number of samples and comparison of measured value with the TWA concentration in 2nd schedule of the Factories Act to assess the working environment also the number of workers exposed to that. Correct record of such workplace monitoring is essential for good health and good housekeeping. Need of sampling and monitoring is also inferred from the types, sources and hazards of air pollutants. Monitoring is more than air sampling or medical examination of a worker. It includes a series of actions to assess the protection necessary.
