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 ...

HYDRANT SYSTEM EXPLAINED

Introduction : All tires in initial stage are small and can be fought easily then and there if trained fire men and well maintained Hand Appliances are available, close to the place of occurrence of tire. Hand Appliances are therefore, of immense importance as they will not let the small lire take to large proportions. F ire multiply to large sizes perhaps because of scheduled areas like warehouses, automatic plants requiring minimal man power, people are available but are not trained for the purpose. Extinguishers and Buckets are not properly maintained they may be empty or not operative at all etc. it is then when comes the role of well laid Fire Hydrant System. Fire hydrant system is capable of extinguishing tires of large sizes in small time if it is handled by trained personnel. As a matter of fact a well designed and well laid F ire Hydrant Service is the back bone of the entire available fire fighting means as it lights fires of serious proportions in al...

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.
