Safety & productivity solutions for metal and minerals industry
Metal and Mineral industry is potentially one of the most hazardous industrial sectors. It is full of hazards at every step of its operation. The combination of powerful equipment, heavy load movements and toxic gases and numerous other hazards can lead to hazardous incidents. Under such circumstances, it is essential to at least identify and communicate hazards that exist on each work site before work begins.
Metal plant is not just one industry but a combination of many sub-industries, having wide variety of hazards and oppurtunities of improvements. Under such adverse conditions establishing cost effective ways to improve equipment & process reliability and to ensure proper process performance and provide safe workplace is not easy.
We at BRiGS understand these hazards involved in these activities:
- Raw material handling: Major hazards are dust and heavy equipment movement.
- Coke oven and by-product plant: Here the main hazards are heat, dust, smoke, moving equipment, chemicals, fire, explosion, etc.
- Road hazards: Road hazards are high because of the heavy concentration and heterogeneous nature of road traffic. This hazard has maximum accidents during the shift change timings.
- Sinter plant: In the sinter plant main hazard is moving equipment, dust, smoke, etc.
- Blast furnace: The main hazards at blast furnace are heat, dust, noise, liquid metal and slag, gas poisoning, moving equipment, moving locomotives, fire and explosion and working at heights etc.
- Metal melting shop: The main hazard in this shop are heat, dust, noise, liquid metal and slag, moving equipment, suspended loads, working at heights, fire and explosion, etc.
- Rolling mills: The main hazards at rolling mills are heat, noise, moving equipment, splinters, cobbles, suspended loads and slippery floors, etc
- Power plant: The main hazards are heat, dust, working at height, noise, vibrations, gas and steam lines, etc.
- Material handling: The main hazards are posture, excess loads, moving equipment, improper signaling and suspended overhead loads, etc
- Other major hazards: Which are common to most of the places are working in confined space, working with improper tools, poor illumination, poor ventilation, electrical hazards, loco movements, unmanned crossings, unpreparedness for emergencies, unsafe scaffolding, overconfidence and working without safety appliances, personal protective equipments (PPEs), written clearances, and shutdown clearances etc. Violation of safety protocols and shut down procedures etc.
