Employee’s participation and involvement in development and
implementation of the S, H & E Management system is essential. It must be
remembered that a group decision is always considers to be a better decision
then that of an individual, and is thus better implementable.
Plant manager should be given overall responsibility for
the implementation of the Employee participation and to ensure that Process
safety information, process hazard analysis reports, Incident investigation
reports and Audit/ Corrective action report are made available to the affected
employees or contractor employees for proper dissemination of information.
Initial training on safety aspects to all has to be
ensured. Structured training on safety, hazards and emergency response should
also be imparted.
It should be ensure that on employee performs work for which he has not received
appropriate training. Employees should be encouraged to look frond report
potential hazards and to suggest ways to control and/or eliminate them.
Effective and continuing leadership at all level of
participation is required. Each employee should be encouraged to observe all
relevant S, H & E rules and regulations, actively participate in all
promotional activities, report unsafe act and situation and active cooperation
in mitigating the same.
Formal risk analysis should be conducted for all processes. One or more
operation personnel familiar with the process being studied should be included
in the HAZOP analysis. Hazardous processes and materials are identified in the
Factories Act- 1948, and specified as such by Risk Analysis for identifying,
- The hazards of the process;
- Any previous incident with a likely potential for catastrophic consequences in the workplace;
- Engineering and administrative controls to provide early warning of releases ;
- Consequences of failure of such controls ;
- Facility siting;
- Humans factors;
- A qualitative evaluation of the range of possible safety and health effect of failure controls;
Reliability
of critical system and devices has to be ensured
Maintenance and inspection personal should be involved in the
implementation of mechanical integrity program me through normal work
activities, including development of written maintenance procedure, training
for process maintenance activities, inspection and testing, correction of
deficiencies in equipment that are outside acceptable limits defined by the
process safety information, and assisting in the implementation of the quality
assurance program me. Maintenance personnel should also be trained on the
potential hazards associated with the process and chemicals to which they may
be exposed.
Operation & maintenance personnel should be involved in the
development, review, modification, and use of operating procedures and they
should operate and maintain processes in accordance with documented operating, inspection,
testing and maintenance procedures.
Employees should be encouraged to support good health by cooperating
with occupational health and hygiene physician in conducting various activities
under occupational health monitoring, and maintaining healthy hygiene in
workplace by observing and encouraging best practices.
A strong sense of environmental conscience needs to be
developed among st all the employees through educative and primitive programmed
on regular basis. All employee should actively contribute towards sustainable
development by safeguarding the workplace and the environment through
