  4. Industrial Safety • The Factories Act, 1948, & States’ Factories Rules • Central Motor vehicle Rules 1989 • The Petroleum Act, 1934 • The Petroleum Rules, 2002 • The Explosives Act, 1983 • The Explosive Rules, 1983 • The Gas Cylinder Rules, 2004 • The SMPV (Unfired) Rules, 1981

  5. Safety Standards • Indian Standards for Chemical Safety by Bureau of Indian Standards • IS14489: -Occupational Safety & Health Management System Audit (Safety Audit) • IS 18001: 2000- Occupational Safety & Health Management System • IS 15656: 2006- Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis • OISD Standards

  6. Guidelines • Guidelines for Emergency Preparedness and Safer Transportation of Hazardous Chemicals and Hazardous waste; MoEF, Govt. of India • National Disaster Management Guidelines: Chemical Disaster; NDMA, Govt. of India

  7. Tools

  8. The Four Tier System Central Crisis Group State Crisis Group District Crisis Group Local Crisis Group

  9. Issues to be Readdressed

  10. Effective & Uniform On-site & Off-site Emergency Management Plan throughout the country (HIRA based) • Competency in Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)

  11. Estimation & Evaluation Skills for HIRA for emergency preparedness • Effective communication of HIRA to Community, regulators & Administration for effective management & better preparedness

  12. Emergency preparedness for Transportation of HAZCHEM. • Enforcement at Regional Level • Common Platform for all target groups for • Sharing of best practices (accident investigation, Mockdrills, communication, etc.) • Information collection • Coordination amongst like organisation

  13. Information Centre at National Level • Standard & Best Practices for Planning • HIRA Procedure • MSDS • Risk Assessment during EIA procedure • HIRA and emergency preparedness for Treatment, Storage & Disposal Facilities (TSDF)

  14. Example • Adco Chemical Company's management is committed to operating a safe manufacturing facility.  The employees receive periodic refresher training and participate in annual emergency  response exercises. • Adco Chemical Company  manufactures synthetic resin at the facility.  It uses Toluene diisocyanate (unspecified isomer - CAS # 26471-62-5) for manufacturing urethanes.  Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a regulated substance under the "Accidental Release Prevention" regulation, under the Clean Air Act, Section 112 (r) (7).  Adco procures, stores and handles TDI only  in 55 gallon drums to minimize any  potential release of TDI.

  15. The maximum quantity  of TDI stored at the site is 60,000 pounds.  However, the typical quantity  of TDI stored at the facility  is at least half the maximum quantity.  The maximum quantity  of TDI used in a production batch is 6,000 pounds, which is below the threshold quantity  of 10,000 pounds for TDI under the Accidental Release Prevention regulation.  Therefore, storage is the only process covered under the regulation. • The distance to toxic endpoint for the worst-case release scenario of spill of two drums of TDI, estimated using EPA's Offsite Consequence Analysis (OCA), is approximately  0.06 miles.  Similarly  the distance to toxic endpoint for the alternate release scenario of the spill of one drum of TDI is 0.06 miles.  The release rate for these scenarios is approximately  0.003 lb/min.  However, the value reported is .2, since the software does not allow to enter value less than .2.

  16. Adco developed a Risk Management Program (RMP) for TDI under the New Jersey Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act (NJ-TCPA) regulation.  The program was approved by  the NJDEP on September 5, 1988.  NJDEP has inspected the facility annually  to verify  compliance with the program.  Some of the provisions at the facility  to minimize potential release of TDI include: • The facility  does not handle TDI in bulk.  TDI is only  handled in 55-gallon drums. • TDI is stored in a separate room in the warehouse.  The room is separated from the flammable material in the warehouse with a fire door and fire wall. • The TDI room is provided with a sprinkler system. •  The TDI room is equipped with a TDI monitor with alarm to detect any spills of TDI in the room.

  17. There has been one TDI related accident in the last five years.  There was minor injury  to Adco employee but no offsite impact from this accident.  The quanity  of TDI involved in the accident was less than .1 lb (the software does not allow entry  of value less than 1 lb).  Since the accident occured inside a building, weather parameters were not recorded. • Adco Chemical Company  has a Combined Emergency  Response Plan (Plant Operation #59) to respond to any  emergency  at the facility.  A copy  of the plan has been distributed to all local emergency  responders and plant emergency response members.  All new employees are provided with initial orientation training.  Annual refresher training is provided to all employees.  In addition, the emergency  response team participates in annual emergency response exercises.

  18. The facility  has been implementing a number of items since entering into the NJ-TCPA program for TDI in 1988.  These items have included procurement of TDI monitors, minimizing TDI inventory, having a separate room for TDI storage with fire doors and walls, sprinkler system and TDI monitor for TDI storage room, installation of alarms for the processes using TDI, training for employess for safe operation and emergency  response.  We believe as a result of these items, TDI operations at the facility  are safe.
