Industrial accidents: types

 Accidents are unfortunate sudden happenings about which nothing is known in advance. Accidents occurring in the industries are called industrial accidents. These are generally due to faulty equipment and machinery or negligence on the part of the workers. Accident occurs in industries due to faults of the workers. They can be negligent, lack of satisfaction in jobs and under the influence of intoxicants resulting in a higher number of accidents.

Types of industrial accidents:

   1. Thermal burns:

It can be because of:

1. Flame

2. Scald (from steam, hot or molten liquid)

3. Contact (from a hot object, such as a hot cooking pan)

Thermal stressors or hazards can ignite fires or explosions, damage equipments or injure workers. Examples of hot surfaces includes:

·         Electrical heaters or hot plates

·         Operating engines or compressors, especially the exhaust manifolds

·         Boiler or furnace surfaces, chimneys

·         Steam radiators and equipments

·         Burning cigarettes

·         Metal heated by friction such as brake drums and bearing

·         Surfaces heated by radiation from the sun or from fires

·         Metals being welded

·         Radiations

·         Laser beams

·         Metallic sparks

Workers can also be injured by excessive cold surfaces or liquids, such as cryogenic operations, refrigeration pipings, and extremely cold metal surfaces.

The type of burn and the severity of the burn depend on the number of layers of skin affected. Most burns are mild, but some may be severe. Most importantly, 75% of burns are estimated to be preventable.

Physical injury to workers that can result from thermal hazards includes:1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd  degree burn to the skin from the contact with hot metals, hot surfaces, hot waters or spark/

1. ·         1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd degree burn from the exposure to UV or other radiation
2. ·         Destruction of the eye tissue or retina from laser or uv
3. ·         Heat stroke, heat stress
4. ·         Inhalation of byproducts of heated oils or lubricants
5. ·         Frostbite from exposure to extremely cold surfaces

Electrical accidents:

Physiological effects of shock varies from shocks so small that they are not even perceived to severe shocks producing severe tissue damage or even death. The actual mode of death in electrocution is cardiac arrest, or for high energy shocks, severe tissue damage.

Conditions due to electrical accidents

1. Asphyxia: occurs when the passage of continuous current through the chest cavity causes the chest muscles to contract, interfering with breathing.

• Asystole: occurs when current higher than 1 A passes through the body

• Pulse and impulse type shock:  the duration of shock is much shorter than the heart cycle, it can be provided by capacitor, and lightning discharges

• Electrical burn: a shock from contack with energized equipment can cause external or internal burn. The magnitude of current, the type of contact, and the duration of the contact determine the severity of burn. It causes ventricular fibrillation or continuous muscular contraction.

1. Lightning burn: After lightning meets the body current it is initially transmitted internally, after which the skin breaks down and there is an external ‘‘flashover.’’ Other injuries caused by blunt

Chemical hazards:

Chemicals are the most common airborn contaminants encountered in the work place, and include gases, vapours, dusts, fibers, and fumes. In addition to presenting inhalation hazards, some of these materials may be toxic by absorption through the skin or may act as skin irritants.

In many countries hazardous chemical substances are labeled as “substances hazardous to health”, information is also provided in safety data sheets.

Aerosol- is a scientific term which applies to any dispersed system of liquid or solid particle suspended in air. Examples are, dusts, fibers (greater than 5 micro meter), fumes, mists, and smoke.

Once inhaled, the fate of particle depends on size, density, and shape. Heavier particles are deposited in the upper respiratory tracts, smaller particles into the lower, alveolar region. Smaller particles to be exhaled or remained on the lung surfaces.

Fumes are solid particle generated by condensation from the gaseous state generally from the molten materials

Mists are finely divided liquid droplets suspended in the air. Ex- oil mists, pesticides mists, acid mists.

Prevention of chemical hazards:

• Flammable liquid (ether, acetone, ethanol, jet fuel, methanol) should be handled in well ventilated area

• Effective ventilation to prevent accumulation of flammable aerosols and vapours.

• Flammable liquids should be stored in safe containers

• Non-sparking tools and materials (materials made up of wood, leather, and plastic) should be used

• Substitution with a less hazardous chemical

• Maintaining the machine regularly

• Installing effective exhaust ventilation

• Increasing the distance between source and receiver

• Rotation of worker

• Training and education

• Wearing protective equipment

Mechanical accidents:

Machine operators may be injured as a result of movement of the machine, being trapped between the machine and materials or being struck by materials ejected from the machine. In identifying machinery hazards, it is useful to consider three factors

1. The different phases of machine life (construction, installation, operation, cleaning, maintenance) 

1. The circumstances giving rise to the injury

• The hazards that can cause the injury

 

 

 

For the different types and ranges of machines used, the hazards can be summarized as follows

1. Traps:  it can be reciprocating traps (vertical or horizontal movements of machine), shearing traps(moving part traversing a fixed part), moving belt meets a running wheel 

•  Impact: machinery parts can cause injuries by their speed or movement if a person gets in the way. 

•  Contact: burns, laceration due to sharp, hot, cold machine component. 

• Entanglement: limbs, hair, clothing become entangled with unguarded moving parts 

• Ejection: machine may eject particles, metals or actual parts of the machine. Egg- grinding machines

Unable to dial emergency number 100 from airtel in delhi

It is not my story, it’s my friend’s story who was in trouble and was trying to call Delhi police on 100. It was his bad luck that call was not getting connected and he was getting an error “incorrect number”. He was frustrated and tried to call child helpline, senior citizen helpline; this time call was connected but the other side people told hip to contact police on “100”.

I don’t know why police has given this emergency number; I don’t know till now how many people were success in calling this number.

Actually my friend was using Airtel number, after trying many times he thought to add STD code before 100. He searched STD code of Delhi from his GPRS enabled phone (thank god, his phone was supporting GPRS services) and dialed STD code before “100” and finally police picked up his call and came for the help.

Here I just want to ask,

1. Why Delhi police have not mentioned about STD code in case of failure to connect to “100” number?
2.  Is this happening only with airtel or with other service providers?

Friends, you can comment if you had any good or bad experience with this emergency number

Thanks

Don't Bind Film Maker's View and Thoughts with Your Dirty Politics

I prepared this article when the movie “Aarakshan” was banned in three states- Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Andhra Pradesh. Today also some anti-social class of people are against this movie. I don’t know what type of movie they want from film industry, they are protesting because director of this film showed the reality which is happening in our society.

Prakas jha's film Aarakshan has been released, but the protest against this movie was unfortunate. The reason for the protest is some harsh words (not any kind of dirty words or abuse) used by the hero against backward class. I have one question. Where are these “backward class representatives” or political parties when poor people were being insulted or abused by rich men in Hindi movies? You have not raised any question because you are not poor? Or you have got the contract to protect only backward community? Why this partiality?

The matter is not only related to the movie Aarakshan, it’s the matter of freedom to express. In this country if someone has the right to say that reservation is not a justice, then others have the right to say that reservation is not a justice to common man. The movie is banned in U.P. and i have not seen it and i don’t know what has been said and what has not been said in this movie.  But one thing is clearly understood that if we will over-react for this type of movies, then knowingly or unknowingly we are making a society which will be similar to Taliban; the place where every dialogue and opinion is rejected. Whereas in healthy society there is a place for unacceptance too. I can only say that let the public to decide what is wrong and what is right, not the political parties or representatives from special class of people.
