HAZOP,FIRE SAFETY AND TRAINING_PROPOSAL  January 12, 2009   

By our systematic safety inspection, we draw attention to spotted and potential hazards, offer advice on corrective and/or preventive measures that effectively ensure safety. With these arrangements, contraventions of decrees and resultant sanctions from inspectorates and insurance companies are avoided. Safety is maintained to the benefit of the company and employees. 3. SAFETY AUDITS Safety audits once in a year by our experts using the software Audit Works will critically examine the existing safety measures, including fire fighting systems and determine whether or not they are up-to-date, effective and adequate. Clients who have benefited from these services have found it very revealing and of great benefit. Periodical appraisal of safety equipment and installations is vital to fire safety and prevention of other occupational accidents. Otherwise deterioration due to unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, heat, humidity, dusts, damages, etc. would negate the systems and equipment. Nothing can be more disastrous than a reliance on false sense of safety leading to astonishing discovery at the moment of reckoning that huge investment on safety has been wasted due to avoidable defects.

FORK-LIFT OPERATORS

Our forklift operator"s course program is designed to educate forklift drivers on safe handling of forklift trucks, with a view to enhancing their knowledge in recognizing the various causes of accidents in forklift operation and how such accident factors can be eliminated or avoided. The training which is in two main parts, would commence with a close look at the principal parts of a forklift; explaining in details, the functions which are common to most of them. This part one would be rounded off with discussion and instructions on pre-operational checks and SCSP

12 

HAZOP,FIRE SAFETY AND TRAINING_PROPOSAL  January 12, 2009   

procedures. In part two of this course we would look at the actual driving of the truck with detailed procedural dos and don"ts for avoidance of accidents. Finally we would in a practical demonstration operate a forklift truck to lift and carry a variety of loads at different angles; focusing attention on its rated capacity indicating:1. Maximum weight to be carried 2. Load centre. The distance from the heel of the forks to the centre point of the load end 3. Height to which the load can be safely lifted Objectives Participants will have more knowledge of the;a) Essence of routine checks b) Effects on truck stability on truck elevation and out-of-reach projections c) Hazards inherent in operating forklift truck up and down slopes, over bumps, slippery surface and through bends; stressing the need to recognize that where a slope has to be negotiated, it will alter the balance of the truck d) Safe methods of stacking loading and off-loading with forklifts. This course is invaluable in cost saving efforts. It is very effective in reducing damages to the forklift truck itself and in drastically reducing, if not totally eliminating entirely, property damage and injury-accidents in forklift operations. Course duration is two (2) days.

6. PERIODICAL EMERGENCY AND EVACUATION DRILLS There is hardly a week without an account of some disaster affecting life and/or property. Sometimes it is due to some natural occurrences but in most cases they are man made. In terms of consequence, the cause is unimportant; these disasters result in loss of life and damage to property. The extent of damage depends on how well the affected persons are able to contain the emergency. The time to think out a course of action is before the emergency. The saying, #practice makes perfect$ cannot be over-emphasized in procedures to mitigate emergency situations and the resultant effects. Our emergency procedure/evacuation drill program contains a pre-drill and periodical safety talks with our client"s personnel, focusing attention on;a) Evacuation point for each premises b) The need for orderly evacuation, detailing out the various steps to be taken for safety in corridors and stairways. c) Inherent hazards in mass evacuation and how to avoid related accidents. d) Reasons for prohibiting lifts as a means of mass escape e) Reliable procedure for calling the fire brigade and other essential officers and services for assistance f) Adverse effects of panic and stampede during evacuation, to emphasize the need to avoid panic and stampede. Emergency plan/evacuation drill should be carried out regularly at quarterly intervals. Where quarterly intervals are not operationally convenient, the intervals should not be longer than six months. Regular evacuation drills conducted by us with clients"active support will provide;a) Necessary confidence and knowledge for orderly and speedy evacuation, free of injuries SCSP
