CHAPTER – 10:
Risk Assessment & Disaster Management Plan
10.1BACKGROUND
Identification analysis and assessment of hazards and risks provide vital information to the
risk management, that what should be the type & capacity of any on-site and off-site
emergency plan & what type of safety measures and maintenance is required. Risk and
consequence analysis has been carried out considering storage and handling of various
hazardous raw materials, intermediates and product as well as manufacturing process.

10.2 METHODOLOGY
Hazard Identification and Risk assessment is type of Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is
mean of making a systematic analysis of the risks from hazardous activities, and forming a
rational evaluation of their significance, in order to provide input to a decision-making
process. The term ‘quantitative risk analysis’ is widely used, but strictly this refers to the
purely numerical analysis of risks without any evaluation of their significance. The study has
been conducted based on the premises of a traditional Quantitative Risk Assessment. The
key components of a QRA are explained below, and illustrated in Figure 10.1.

• Protect general health of workers likely to be exposed to such chemicals
• Providing training, guidelines, resources and facilities to concerned department for
occupational health hazards.
• It is proposed that this EMP be formulated on the guidelines issued by Bureau of Indian
Standards on OH&S Management Systems: IS 18001:2000 Occupational Health and Safety
Management Systems
• Proposed EMP will be incorporated in Standard Operating Procedure also.

The proposed EMP will also include measure to keep air-born concentration of toxic and
hazardous chemicals below its PEL and TLV, like…
– Leak Surveys
– Separate storage for toxic chemicals
– Exhaust Ventilation
– Proper illumination
– Close processes to avoid spills and exposures
– Atomization of process operations to hazards of manual handling of chemicals
– Supply of proper PPEs like Air mask, Berating canisters, SCBA sets, On-line breathing
apparatus at the places where there is possibility of presence of toxic chemicals
– Decontamination procedure for empty drums and carboys.

Workplace Monitoring Plan

• It is proposed that a Workplace Monitoring Plan to be prepared & implemented in


consultation with FMO and industrial hygienists.
• Each workplace must be evaluated to identify potential hazards from toxic substances
or harmful physical agents. Air-borne concentration of toxic chemicals will be
measured and record will be kept.
• The current state-of-the-art exposure measurement model is as follows: For purposes
of measuring worker exposure across a single shift it is sufficient t o place a reasonably
accurate exposure measuring device on the worker, within the worker’s breathing
zone, and have it operate for nearly the full shift. Client will propose to study the
exposure data when the plant is operative.
• Permanent changes to workplace procedures or work location to be done if it is found
necessary on the basis of findings from workplace Monitoring Plan.

Health Evaluation of Workers

It is proposed that management will devise a plan to check and evaluate the exposure
specific health status evaluation of workers.
Workers will be checked for physical fitness with special reference to the possible health
hazards likely to be presented where he/she is being expected to work before being
employed for that purpose. Basic examinations like Liver Function tests, chest x ray,
Audiometry, Spirometry Vision testing (Far & Near vision, color vision and any other ocular
defect) ECG, etc. will be carried out. However, the parameters and frequency of such
examination will be decided in consultation with Factory Medical Officer and Industrial

10.9CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
In a plant handling hazardous chemicals, the main hazard arises due to storage, handling &
use of these chemicals. If these chemicals are released into the atmosphere, they may cause
damage due to resulting fires or vapour clouds. Blast Overpressures depend upon the
reactivity class of material and the amount of gas between two explosive limits.

Operating Parameters
Potential vapour release for the same material depends significantly on the operating
conditions. Especially for any liquefied gas, the operating conditions are very critical to
assess the damage potential.

Inventory
Inventory Analysis is commonly used in understanding the relative hazards and short listing
of release scenarios. Inventory plays an important role in regard to the potential hazard.
Larger the inventory of a vessel or a system, larger the quantity of potential release.
The potential vapour release (source strength) depends upon the quantity of liquid release,
the properties of the materials and the operating conditions (pressure, temperature). If all
these influencing parameters are combined into a matrix and vapour source strength
estimated for each release case, a ranking should become a credible exercise.

Loss of Containment
Plant inventory can get discharged to Environment due to Loss of Containment. Certain
features of materials to be handled at the plant need to the clearly understood to firstly list
out all significant release cases and then to short list release scenarios for a detailed
examination. Liquid release can be either instantaneous or continuous. Failure of a vessel
leading to an instantaneous outflow assumes the sudden appearance of such a major crack
that practically all of the contents above the crack shall be released in a very short time. The
more likely event is the case of liquid release from a hole in a pipe connected to the vessel.
The flow rate will depend on the size of the hole as well as on the pressure, which was
present, in front of the hole, prior to the accident. Such pressure is basically dependent on
the pressure in the vessel. The vaporisation of released liquid depends on the vapour
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
pressure and weather conditions. Such consideration and others have been kept in mind
both during the initial listing as well as during the short-listing procedure. In the study,
Maximum Credible Loss accident methodology is to be used, therefore, the largest potential
hazard inventories have been considered for consequence estimation.

Damage criteria
In consequence analysis, use is made of a number of calculation models to estimate the
physical effects of an accident (spill of hazardous material) and to predict the damage
(lethality, injury, material destruction) of the effects. The calculations can roughly be divided
in three major groups:
a) Determination of the source strength parameters;
b) Determination of the consequential effects;
c) Determination of the damage or damage distances.
The basic physical effect models consist of the following.

Source strength parameters


Calculation of the outflow of liquid, vapour or gas out of a vessel or a pipe, in case of
rupture. Also two-phase outflow can be calculated.
Calculation, in case of liquid outflow, of the instantaneous flash evaporation and of
the dimensions of the remaining liquid pool.
Calculation of the evaporation rate, as a function of volatility of the material, pool
dimensions and wind velocity.
Source strength equals pump capacities, etc. in some cases.

Consequential effects
Dispersion of gaseous material in the atmosphere as a function of source strength,
relative density of the gas, weather conditions and topographical situation of the
surrounding area.
Intensity of heat radiation [in kW/ m2] due to a fire or a BLEVE, as a function of the
distance to the source.
Energy of vapour cloud explosions [in N/m2], as a function of the distance to the
distance of the exploding cloud.
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
Concentration of gaseous material in the atmosphere, due to the dispersion of
evaporated chemical. The latter can be either explosive or toxic.
Selection of Damage Criteria
The damage criteria give the relation between extent of the physical effects (exposure) and
the percentage of the people that will be killed or injured due to those effects. The
knowledge about these relations depends strongly on the nature of the exposure. For
instance, much more is known about the damage caused by heat radiation, than about the
damage due to toxic exposure, and for these toxic effects, the knowledge differs strongly
between different materials.

In Consequence Analysis studies, in principle three types of exposure to hazardous effects


are distinguished:
- Heat radiation, from a jet, pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE.
- Explosion
- Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.
In the next three paragraphs, the chosen damage criteria are given and explained.

MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS ACCIDENT SCENARIOS


A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterised as the worst credible accident. In
other words: an accident in an activity, resulting in the maximum consequence distance that
is still believed to be possible. A MCA-analysis does not include a quantification of the
probability of occurrence of the accident. Another aspect, in which the pessimistic approach
of MCA studies appears, is the atmospheric condition that is used for dispersion calculations.
As per the reference of the study, weather conditions having an average wind speed of
2.0m/s have been chosen.

The Maximum Credible Loss (MCL) scenarios have been developed for the Facility. The MCL
cases considered, attempt to include the worst “Credible” incidents- what constitutes a
credible incident is always subjective. Nevertheless, guidelines have evolved over the years
and based on basic engineering judgement, the cases have been found to be credible and
modelling for assessing vulnerability zones is prepared accordingly. Only catastrophic cases
have been considered and not partial or small failures (as is the case in Quantitative Risk
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
Assessment where contributions from low frequency - high outcome effect as well as high
frequency - low outcome events are distinguished). The objective of the study is emergency
planning; hence only holistic & conservative assumptions are used for obvious reasons.
Hence though the outcomes may look pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept
should be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.

CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS CALCULATIONS


The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios. This has been done for
weather conditions having wind speed 2.14 m/s. In Consequence Analysis, geographical
location of the source of potential release plays an important role. Consideration of a large
number of scenarios in the same geographical location serves little purpose if the dominant
scenario has been identified and duly considered.

SOFTWARE USED FOR CALCULATIONS


Phast Micro:
Phast is the most comprehensive software available for performing Process Hazard Analysis
(PHA), Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and Financial Risk Analysis (FRA). Our
extensively validated software for consequence and risk analysis is used by governments
and industry helping them to comply with local safety regulation and their own corporate
best practice. Phast contains all the discharge, dispersion, effects and risk models you will
need to accurately assess all your major hazards and associated risks. Phast Consequence
provides you with comprehensive hazard analysis facilities to examine the progress of a
potential incident from the initial release to its far-field effects.

Toxic and Flammable Impact


It calculates the initial discharge, as the material expands from its storage conditions to
atmospheric, through dispersion, as the material mixes with air and dilutes, and the
subsequent toxic or flammable effects. Phast includes a wide range of models for discharge
and dispersion as well as flammable, explosive and toxic effects.
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
Discharge
• Phast requires basic information about storage or process conditions and material
properties in order to perform discharge calculations
• The software comes with an integrated material property database containing more
than 1,600 pre-defined pure component chemicals
• Various discharge scenario options have been implemented to represent common
process failures, and model their behavior. These include:
Leaks and line ruptures from long & short pipelines
Catastrophic ruptures
Relief valve and disc ruptures
Vent from vapour spaces
In building release effects

Dispersion
The dispersion models within Phast are able to model the following phenomena
• Dispersion of gas, liquid and two-phase releases
• Liquid droplet thermo dynamics calculations and liquid droplet rainout
• Pool spreading and vaporization
• Building wake dispersion effects for vapor releases

Flammable Effects
For releases of flammable material Phast calculates
• Radiation profiles and contours from a range of fire scenarios including pool fires,
flash fires, jet fires and fire balls, including cross-wind effects on a jet fire
• Vapor Cloud Explosion modeling using industry standards models including the TNO
Multi-energy, Baker Strahler Tang and TNT Equivalence models
• Overpressure contours from Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosions

Toxic Effects
• Graphs of toxic concentration profile
• Indoor and outdoor toxic dose prediction
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
• Reporting of distance to specific dose and concentration
• Calculated exposure time and use as “averaging time” for passive dispersion effects

Phast Risk
Phast Risk allows you to combine the flammable and toxic consequences from each
scenario in your QRA model with their likelihood to quantify the risk of fatalities. Phast Risk
allows you to take account of local population distribution, sources of ignition, land usage
and local prevailing weather conditions. It is designed to perform all the analysis, data
handling and results presentation elements of a QRA within a structured framework.

Phast Risk allows you to quickly identify major risk contributors so that time and efforts can
be directed to mitigating these highest risk activities. Based on effects calculations and
population vulnerabilities, Phast Risk can integrate over all scenarios and weather
conditions to estimate the total risk. The established individual and societal risk indicators
are predicted by Phast Risk across your facility and surrounding area using the classical QRA
methodology. Risk ranking reports can be produced at points of strategic importance to
show the relative influence of the various failure scenarios and their contribution to both
the individual and societal risk metrics.

A key benefit of Phast Risk is the ability to identify major risk contributors and differentiate
these from incidents with worst case consequences which might otherwise dominate the
safety reviews. Whilst medium scale incidents have lesser consequences, they may have a
higher frequency, which, when combined with their hazardous effects, generate a higher
level of risk. Time and effort directed to mitigating high consequence but often low
frequency events may not be well spent. Phast Risk helps you direct this effort more
effectively.

Phast Risk also provides facilities to help you manage large quantities of input data,
including scenarios, parameters, wind roses, ignition and population, and combine these in
many ways. This is critical when looking at sensitivity analyses and assessing the merits of a
range of risk reduction measures.

• Allows optimization of plant and process design
• Assist in compliance with safety regulators
• Enables quicker response to hazardous incidents
• Improve engineer’s understanding of potential hazards
• Regular software upgrades incorporate industry experience and expertise, and
advances in consequence modeling technology

Financial Extension
The Financial Consequence extension is used to assess situations which present potential
hazards not only to life but also to the environment, property and business and help
quantifying their severity in financial terms. Phast Financial helps you to estimate the cost
of a particular release of a given material under specified conditions. The Financial Risk
extension helps you to calculate the broader financial risks associated with accidents and
can be used to help manage your business risk and assess appropriate levels of insurance.

Blast Extension for Explosion Risk


The Blast extension permits more accurate explosion modeling and thus better risk
predictions. It provides all the extra functionality required to assess overall risks taking
account of protection provided by different types of structure and areas of congestion on
your plant. Models supported include the Multi Energy and Baker Strehlow Tang explosion
models and a number of industry standard vulnerability models

Multi-Component Extension
The multi-component extension to Phast provides greater accuracy for liquid or two-phase
mixture releases compared to the standard pseudo-component approach. The composition
of each component of the mixture is calculated throughout the discharge and dispersion
phases of the release.

The extent of the consequence of a Pool fire is represented by the thermal radiation
envelope. Three levels of radiation are presented in this report, i.e.:
· 4 kW/m2; this level is sufficient to cause personnel if unable to reach cover within
20s;however blistering of the skin (second degree burn) is likely; 0: lethality.
· 12.5 kW/m2; this level will cause extreme pain within 20 seconds and movement to a safer
place is instinctive. This level indicates around 6% fatality for 20 seconds exposure.
· 37.5 kW/m2; this level of radiation is assumed to give 100% fatality as outlined above.

10.10HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY GUIDELINES


Introduction
Transportation typically involves carrying of small amounts of materials over short distances
transportation does, however, pose significant risks from the frequency of the activity and
the lack of observance of prescribed regulations. The hazardous materials should be
packaged, based on the composition in a manner suitable for handling, storage and
transport. Labeling and packaging is required to be easily visible and be able to withstand
physical conditions and climatic factors. These guidelines are issued to facilitate safe
transportation of the hazardous material in compliance of the regulations. In view of the
stringent product quality requirement, various complex processes are introduced involving
the handling of hazardous chemicals. These chemicals pose various types of hazards like
flammability, toxicity, explosives, corrosives etc. Inadequate awareness about the hazardous
properties of these chemicals may lead to serious accidents which will affect the men at
work and the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
Scope
This document applies to the vehicular transportation, within geographically contiguous, of
hazardous materials, substances, and wastes. Hazardous materials include chemical
materials, substances or wastes. Transportation shall be performed in a manner which
minimizes risk to the health and safety of employees, the public and the environment.

Guidelines for Transportation


General
It will be ensured that during the transportation contents are not spilled, packaging is not
damaged and personnel are properly trained to generate, transport and receive such
materials. In general, the traffic control program at M/s. Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited
requires that an onsite driver possess a valid driver’s license. TREM (Transport Emergency)
cards are to be provided to the drivers.

Packing
The containers must be able to withstand normal handling and retain integrity for a
minimum period of six months. In general, packaging for hazardous substances must meet
the following requirements:

- All packaging materials including containers shall be of such strength, construction


and type as not to break open or become defective during transportation.
- All packaging materials including containers shall be so packaged and sealed those
spillages of hazardous materials / substances are prevented during transportation
due to jerks and vibrations caused by uneven road surface.
- Re-packaging materials including that used for fastening must not be affected by the
contents or form a dangerous combination with them.
- Packaging material should be such that there will be no significant chemical or
galvanicaction among any of the material in the package.
- Ensure that any cushioning or absorbent material used for packaging is also
compatible with the hazardous material.
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
The containers when used for packaging of the hazardous Material shall meet the
following requirements:
- Modes of packaging, like collection in 200-litre plastic drums, cardboard cartons, PP
and HDPE/LDPE containers etc., also work for variety of materials. However, all such
container should be amenable to mechanical handling.
- It should be leak proof.
- Use drums that are in good condition and free of rust and major dents.
- Ensure that drums are not leaking or overfilled before transporting them.
- Ensure that drum bungs are tight.
- Carefully inspect pallets before they are loaded.
- Do not use pallets with cracked or broken slats.
- Use a drum dolly to place drums on pallets.
- Secure all drums to the pallet with appropriate strapping material.
- In general, the containers for liquid HM should be completely closed, in fact sealed.
There should be no gas generation due to any chemical reaction within the container,
and, hence, there should not be any need for air vents; expansion due to increase
/decrease in temperature normally does not need air vents.
- Container should be covered with a solid lid or a canvas to avoid emissions of any
sort including spillage, dust etc. and to minimize odour generation both at the point
of loading as well as during transportation.
- Container used for transportation of Material should be able to withstand the shock
loads due to vibration effect/undulations of pavements etc.
- Container should be easy to handle during transportation and emptying.
- As far as possible, manual handling of containers should be minimized. Appropriate
material handling equipment is to be used to load, transport and unload containers.
This equipment includes drum, dollies, and forklifts, drum handling equipment, lift
gates and pallets. Drums should not be rolled on or off vehicles.
- Where two-tier or three-tier storage is envisaged, the frame should have adequate
strength to hold the containers.
- One-way containers are also allowed. The multi-use containers should be re-usable
provided it should be cleaned and free from deterioration or defects.
M/S. GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & RISK ASSESSMENT REPORT
- Loads are to be properly placed on vehicles. HM containers are not to overhang,
perch, lean or be placed in other unstable base. Load should be secured with straps,
clamps, braces or other measures to prevent movement and loss. Design of the
container should be such that it can be safely accommodated on the transport
vehicle.
- Dissimilar materials shall not be transported in the same container.

Labeling
There are two types of labeling requirements:
i. Labeling of individual transport containers and
ii. Labeling of transport vehicles.
- All hazardous Material containers must be clearly marked with current contents. The
markings must be waterproof and firmly attached so that they cannot be removed.
Previous content labels shall be obliterated when the contents are different. Proper
marking of containers is essential.
- Color code is to be provided to the tanker to indicate the type of material present in
that.
- Containers that contain HM shall be labeled with the words "HAZARDOUS
MATERIAL" in Vernacular language, Hindi / English. The information on the label
must include the code number of the Material, the Material type, the origin (name,
address, telephone number of the supplier and receiver), hazardous property (e.g.
flammable, corrosive), and the symbol for the hazardous property.
- The label must withstand the effects of rain and sun. Labeling of containers is
important.

The following are the requirements for labeling:


Emergency contact phone numbers shall be prominently displayed viz. the phone number of
concerned Regional Officer of the SPCB, Fire Station, Police Station and other agencies
concerned.

Unloading of Drums / Containers
- Manual handling of drums / containers should be minimized. It is preferable fork-
lifters and suitable cradles are used to handle drums.
- Carboys containing hazardous chemicals should not be subjected to impact.
- Suitable protective clothing should be used while handling drums / containers and
the operators should position him such that he is in the upwind direction so that
even in case of accidental release of chemical, he is safe.

10.11 RECOMMENDATIONS
From the Risk Analysis studies conducted, it would be observed that by and large, the risks
are confined within the factory boundary walls in case of fire & explosion, except in the
event of a catastrophic failure. In case of catastrophic failure of toxic chemical storage tanks,
it will also create OFF site emergency situations and required more attention and
emergency preparedness for combat such situations. To minimize the consequential effects
of the risk scenarios, following steps are recommended.

1. Plant should meet provisions of the Manufacture, storage & Import of Hazardous
Chemicals Rules, 1986 & the factories Act, 1948.
2. Sprinkler system is installed in tank farm area.
3. Air line respirator provision to be made in respective area
4. For bromine emergency details are provided in report to be implemented.
5. Fire hydrant system for proposed plant to be installed as per TAC/NFPA Norms in
each plant and buildings.
6. Dyke wall and collection pit with drain valve needs to be provided in acid storage
area
7. Tanker unloading procedure needs to be displayed at tanker unloading area.
8. Periodic On Site Emergency Mock Drills and occasional Off Site Emergency Mock
Drills to be conducted, so those staffs are trained and are in a state of preparedness
to tackle any emergency.
9. Emergency handling facilities to be maintained in updated condition at all time.
