Fundamental of Safety:
Industrial work is full of hazards. It is necessary to ensure
safety of plants, machineries and human being.
Risk : Any situation that has probability to cause Injury/ harm to human,
damage to property, loss/ contamination to the environment.

Safety Stages:
Earlier safety was implemented only by safety
Rules, Act, Compliances
Latter it extended to the environmental impact
which effect community, environment, property, life.
Now manufacturer is responsible for the safety of
the product.
- It means quality of product should be maintained.
-Equipment, machineries which are used in industries
should be tested for high level of safety.
-Safety is incorporated in designing part.
Need of Safety :
Cost Saving
Productivity Increases
Morale ( is state of mind)
Image increases
Avoid statutory actions
Avoid unique action eg. Bhopal Gas Tragedy
Ethical Management
HSE CHALLENGES-INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION:
It involve
Processing, handling , storage and
transportation of large volumes of hazardous
petroleum products.
Safety Issues :
Workman compensation
Loss of profits
Public litigation
Environmental pollution
Ecological damage
Loss of business
Shareholders wrath
The above does not include the cost of psychological
and social factors associated with major accidents.
Considering all these it is sensible to integrate HSE as
an important management functions like production,
maintenance, finance marketing and human resources
etc.
HSE MANAGEMENT FRAME WORK:

HSE
Important features of an effective and efficient HSE Management
System are:
HSE Policy
Protective Equipment/Clothing
1. ENGINEERING CONTROLS - engineered safeguards to:
1. protect employees 2. prevent exposure to hazards
– Examples: machine guards, safety controls, isolation of hazardous areas,
monitoring devices
2. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS - use of procedures to 1. monitor safe
practices and environments
– 2. identify & correct new hazards 3. Safety Committee
– Examples: periodic inspections, equipment operating procedures ,
maintenance procedures, JSA
• selection & assignment of personal protective equipment, TRAINING
3. Training Controls - used to ensure employees are fully and adequately trained to
safely perform
• all tasks to which they are assigned 1. Safety Training is mandatory 2. No
employee is to attempt any task without
• proper training in the equipment used, required personal protective equipment,
specific hazards and control &
• emergency procedures.
• periodic refresher training
In many factory workers there are some are some restriction for
checking basic amenities –
At that time
Job-related accidents accounted for more than
14,000 worker deaths,
• Nearly 2.5 million workers were disabled by
workplace accidents and injuries,
• Ten times as many workdays were lost from job-
related disabilities as from labor strikes, and
• The estimated new cases of occupational diseases
totaled 300,000.
OSHA’s impact
•Since OSHA’s creation in 1970, the nation has made
substantial progress in occupational safety and
health.
•OSHA and its many partners in the public and
•private sectors have:
• Cut the work-related fatality rate by 62 percent,
• Reduced overall injury and illness rates by 42
percent,
• Toxic substances,
• Harmful physical agents,
• Electrical hazards,
• Fall hazards,
• Trenching hazards,
• Hazardous waste,
• Infectious diseases,
• Fire and explosion hazards,
• Dangerous atmospheres, and
• Machine hazards.
