What is Safety ??

• Safety is not absence of accidents

• Safety is presence of defenses in the processes, procedures, facilities, methods and practices.

Shivam NTPC 5

What is Industrial Safety ??

• Industrial safety is defined as policies and protections put in place to ensure plant and factory worker is protected from hazards that could cause injury.

Shivam NTPC 6

Why Industrial Safety is important

• Occupational/ industrial accidents result in loss of production timeequivalent to millions of man hours, machine hours etc.

• 20% production time is lost by those actually injured due to temporaryand permanent disablement

• Balance 80% production time is lost by fellow operators/ people inhelping the injured, in taking care of the damage caused by accidentetc.

Intent of NTPC Safety Policy Framework

“All Accidents Are Preventable”Therefore, safety must be at the forefront of

all activities

Six Principles of NTPC safety Policy

9

1. Our activities carry various hazards; however all hazards can be identified.

2. Every job shall be done safely, no matter how important or urgent it is.

3. Putting people to work carries a specific responsibility and accountability

for safety which shall be visibly demonstrated.

4. Right procedures and actions can bring the risks under control.

5. Trained and committed team can ensure incident free operations.

6. Compliance to all applicable safety regulations and other legal

requirements at the minimum.

Emergency Preparedness

At O&M stage

Shivam NTPC 21

Process Safety : Implementation

• Capacity building on DMP / OD/ OGN/ OIN and LMI.

• Awareness of Process Hazards and mitigation actions.

• Implementation of LMIs with “Zero Tolerance”.

• “No deviations” from NTPC safety systems (PTW / TC/ Process protections, General safety Rules etc)

Disaster Management Plan

United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR)

• International decade for Disaster reduction

• Hyogo Framework (2005-2015)

• Sendai framework (2015-2030)

Shivam NTPC 23

Sendai Framework

• Priority 1. Understanding disaster risk

• Priority 2. Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk

• Priority 3. Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience

• Priority 4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction

Emergency Preparedness

• Well defined Disaster Management Plan

• Pre disaster elements: Prevention and Risk ReductionPreparedness

• Post disaster elements:Response Recovery

Disaster Management Plan

1. Table top Exercise : “What if” for different scenarios

2. Functional Exercise

3. Full Scale drill

Emergency Preparedness

Mock Drills:

• As per Factory Act (Once in six months)

• Fire mock drill (CISF) (Once in 15 days)

• Mock Drills in association with NDRF, State Administration

Shivam NTPC 28

Emergency Preparedness

Other Activities:

• Weekly Fire fighting training of NTPC and associates by CISF /Safety

• Monthly Fire fighting system healthiness checking (CISF/NTPC)

• Mutual aid scheme (Anta/ Chambal Fartilizer, Auriya/ GAIL)
