Risk (R) is thus defined as function of possibility of occurrence of hazard (f) and magnitude of its
consequence (D).
Risk (R) = f (Hazard, Probability, Consequence)
In most of the applications, however, risk may be defined as
Risk (R) = Probability (f) * Consequence (D)
2.0 METHODOLOGY
1. All the Raw Materials are listed to identify Hazardous chemicals as per MSIHC Rule –1989 and
PLI Act/ rule.
2. All the Hazardous Chemicals are categorized in two category a) Hazardous chemicals from RM
list of existing facility and b) from RM list of proposed facility.
3. Hazardous chemicals from both the list are further classified as per their potential hazardous
property and physical property.
4. All the hazardous chemicals are assessed for their potential risk, using 3 x 3 Risk Assessment
Matrix. Procedure for risk assessment by 3 x 3 Risk Assessment Matrix is explains at Para 5(B).
5. a. Significant hazard/ risk is identified as “Heavy spillage of liquid chemical with evolution of
toxic gas” or “ Toxic gas release” with Emergency status, in risk assessmentby3 x 3 Risk
Assessment Matrix, n then such hazard/risk are further assessed for Gas Dispersion, using
ALOHA software, approved by EPA-USA. Result of Risk Assessment and Gas dispersion modeling
are taken in to account or RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN(RMP) and
EMERGENCYRESPONSEPLAN(ERP).
5. b. If the potential hazard is identified as “fire” or “explosion”, with Emergency status, in risk
assessment using 3x3 Risk Assessment Matrix, then such situation/hazards are compared with
the risk assessment done by District Crisis group-Bharuch and Local Crisis group-Jhagadia,
Ankleshwar area. Findings of the District Crisis group and Local Crisis group are also taken in to
account for RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN ( RMP)and EMERGENCYRESPONSEPLAN.( ERP).

4.0 Components of Risk Assessment
4.1 Hazard
Hazard is an inherent property of a substance, agent and source of energy or situation having the
potential to cause undesirable consequence (e.g. properties that can cause adverse effects or
damage to health, the environment or property).
4.1.1 Major Hazards:
1) Fire hazards
2) Toxic gas release hazards
3) Explosion hazards
4) Corrosion hazards
Fire Hazards
When a liquid is used having flash point below the normal ambient temperature, it could, in suitable
circumstances, liberate a sufficient quantity of vapor to give rise to flammable mixtures with air. If
this mixture is then heated further to its ignition point, combustion starts. Similarly, a combustible
gas or vapor mixture burns if it is heated to a sufficiently temperature.
Toxic Hazards
Toxic substances affect in three ways by ingestion, absorption & inhalation. The vapor released may
be toxic. Dispersion is important for predicting the distance necessary for the concentration of
release gas to come down a specified end point.
Corrosion Hazards
Corrosion is a chemical reaction-taking place at the surface of metal. These chemicals have their
typical hazard when it comes in contact with human tissues. Most corrosive substances will produce
chemical burns, while certain chemical produce deep ulceration.
R-41
4.2.1 Physical Hazard
R-42
4.2.5 Psychosocial hazards
Type of work, risks involved in work, monotony, and long working hours, lack of recognition & job
satisfaction, poor man made management, lack of welfare activities, tensions at home & work place.
Major dropped objects hazard due to large number of physical handling steps / operations
involved with crane/ overhead lifting/ hoisting equipment.
Fires in any part of the plant working areas – there is a possibility of rapid escalation if it is not
brought under control quickly.
4.2.6 Biological hazards
Viruses, rickettsiae, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and helminthes transmitted in certain occupations.
5.0 Determining Significance
Determining Significance is evaluation of the significance of the risk estimation and each of the
components of the risk assessment process, including elements of risk perception and cost/benefit
consideration.
6.0 Risk Management
M/s. Anupam Rasayan India Limited will be managed the economical and social aspects of risk.
Improvement in scientific and factual basis for risk assessment is necessary for better risk
management decisions and public creditability of those decisions. However, M/s. Anupam Rasayan
India Limited has done the QRA to be undertaken prior to risk management decisions.
M/s. Anupam Rasayan India Limited will be considered the Risk management strategies including all
the specific activities. First step involves taking a decision about the weather any actions are
necessary and if so, what nature of the action should it be. Industries’ risk management decision
shall be based not only computed risk in terms of fatality probability (fatality/year), but also on
judging the acceptability of the risk – a matter of personal and social value judgment. The risk
management includes implementing the actions, decided upon and evaluating their effects.
The fatality probability is function of:
• Probability of occurrence of hazardous events
• Probability of weather condition, wind direction
• Probability of number of persons exposed which depends on the severity of the consequences
• Lethality factor
• Probability of ignition source
On the basis of risk Assessment, Company has defined its own risk management plan, which is
explained as follow.

The procedure for QRA starts with identification of major risk areas in the installation. Operation
carried out in pesticide Industries usually come under certain board, general categories. In M/s.
Anupam Rasayan India Limited, major risk areas will storage tank area, plant area and utility area.
Majority of the major accident hazard in the above operations arise from the flammable property of
the chemicals involved. Therefore, majority of the actual accident events in pesticide plants are fire
and explosion. Where toxic substances such as, EDC and chlorine are used in significant quantities in
M/s. Anupam Rasayan India Limited.
R-52
9.0 CONSEQUENCE 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.
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
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.
R-53
9.1 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.
Concentration of gaseous material in the atmosphere, due to the dispersion of evaporated
chemical.
It may be obvious, that the types of models that must be used in a specific risk study strongly
depend upon the type of material involved:
Gas, vapour, liquid, solid
Inflammable, toxic, toxic combustion products
Stored at high/low temperatures or pressure
Controlled outflow (pump capacity) or catastrophic failure?
R-54
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:
1. Heat radiation, from a jet, pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE.
2. Explosion
3. Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.
In the next three paragraphs, the chosen damage criteria are given and explained.
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 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.
R-55
9.3 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS CALCULATIONS
The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios. This has been done for weather
conditions having wind speed 2.03 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.
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
R-56
Catastrophic ruptures
Relief valve and disc ruptures
Tank roof collapse
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 Strehlow Tang and TNT Equivalence models
• Overpressure contours from Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions
TOXIC EFFECTS
• Graphs of toxic concentration profile
• Indoor and outdoor toxic dose prediction
• 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.
R-57
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.
Benefits
• Facilitates cost reduction in terms of losses and insurance
• 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
R-58
broader financial risks associated with accidents and can be used to help manage your business risk
and assess appropriate levels of insurance.
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.

10.0 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY
For large industries, where multifarious activities are involved during construction, erection, testing,
commissioning, operation and maintenance; the men, materials and machines are the basic inputs.
Along with the boons, industrialization generally brings several problems like occupational health
and safety.
The industrial planner, therefore, has to properly plan and take steps to minimize the impacts of
industrialization and to ensure appropriate occupational health and safety including fire plans. All
these activities again may be classified under construction and erection, and operation and
maintenance.
Health of all the employees in plant area will be regularly monitored by outside physician. If any
abnormality will found necessary treatment will also being given time to time. Necessary history
cards, records will also be maintained which is up-dated time to time.
Occupational health needs attention both during construction & erection and operation &
maintenance phases. However, the problem varies both in magnitude and variety in the above
phases.

following aims…
• To keep air-borne concentration of toxic and hazardous chemicals below PEL and TLV.
• 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.
• 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.

11.0 Chlorine handling facilities and precautions
Storage of Chlorine Cylinder:
Cylinders may be rolled but never dragged.
They may be carried in a suitable carrying device.
They should not strike each other violently.
While returning empty cylinders and not in use, close the valve and put valve protection.
Do not store gas cylinders in sun or excess heat.
Handling and Precaution of Chlorine:
1. Designate area for handling Chlorine and clearly label all containers.
2. Prohibit eating, drinking, smoking and mouth pipetting in room where Chlorine is handled.
3. Provide proper instruction and supervision to workers responsible for chlorine equipment.
4. Handle Chlorine compounds that are potentially volatile or in powder form in ventilated
enclosures.
5. If enhanced containment is necessary, handle volatile compounds in closed systems vented
through suitable traps.
6. Never store combustible or flammable materials near chlorine containers.
7. Never allow any liquid or moisture to enter the chlorine container.Never apply heat directly to a
chlorine container.
8. Never attempt to weld an “empty” chlorine pipe line without purging it with air first.
9. Install safety showers and eye wash stations near chlorine equipment.
10. Never spray water on leaking containers; it can make the leak worse.
11. When entering an equipment area, take shallow breaths until you are sure that there is not a
chlorine gas leak.
12. Rely upon chlorination equipment for direct disposal of chlorine gas.
13. On completing an operation, secure all Chlorine, remove and dispose of protective clothing and
coverings, monitor and decontaminate self and surfaces, wash hands and monitor them again.
Safety Precautions:
The first steps to be taken in providing proper safety precautions at any facility are the selection of
safety equipment to be on hand, the proper location of the equipment, and the training of all
personnel in proper procedures to avoid unnecessary chlorine releases and to deal with releases
that occur.
R-110
Proper respiratory equipment is essential for all facilities regardless of size. For maximum safety, it is
preferable to use air tank type pressure demand masks that have a self contained air supply and,
therefore, are suitable regardless of chlorine concentration.
All respiratory equipment must meet the requirements of the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health. Following the respiratory equipment manufacturer’s recommendation regarding
maintenance and periodic testing is essential. This equipment should be stored outside the area
containing chlorine or chlorine equipment in a manner protecting it from damage of any kind and so
as to be readily available.
All personnel with no assigned responsibility for dealing with a chlorine release should be instructed
to leave the area. Those responsible for correcting the situation should don respiratory equipment
before doing so.
Protective clothing is recommended for handling even routine operations involving chlorine. In the
event of a substantial release, protective clothing is required. Anyone desiring further information
on protective clothing should refer to the Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 65, Protective Clothing for
Chlorine.
Safety shoes, hard hats, and safety glasses should be used in accordance with standard plant
practice.
Most leaks will occur in piping, valves, connections, and the pressurized portions of chlorine
equipment. These leaks will usually be eliminated by tightening packing, replacing gaskets, or
repairing the equipment.
Emergency kits (meeting Chlorine Institute requirements) are available that can seal off most leaking
areas of chlorine containers (i.e., valves, fusible plugs, or container wall).
If these are on hand they must be used only by personnel thoroughly familiar with their use. The
chlorine supplier should be contacted immediately for information, assistance and advice on the
disposition of the leaking container. The container should always be repositioned, if possible, so the
leak is gas rather than liquid.
R-111
Emergency Action Plan
• The best emergency plan includes routine practices that are designed to minimize emergencies.
Proper maintenance of all equipment associated with the storage, handling, and use of chlorine
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions is essential.
• All equipment and piping containing chlorine under pressure must be tested periodically for
leaks. Since it is not unusual for areas used for chlorine storage and chlorine equipment to be
relatively unattended, it is important for the air in these areas to be monitored continuously with
chlorine detectors, so that warning of leaks is given as early as possible. As with most
emergencies, the earliest detection helps to minimize the damage to equipment and personnel.
In addition to warning of leaks when the areas are unattended, chlorine detectors should warn
of the presence of minor amounts of chlorine that may not be detected by personnel in the area
• Some chlorine leaks are minor but all require immediate attention.
• In the event of a major release of chlorine, there should be no delay in contacting the agency in
the community that is responsible for handling hazardous material releases. Appropriate names
and telephone numbers must be prominently posted.
• The person responsible for making any of the calls listed above must be sure to give the agency
contacted complete details including facility name, address, telephone number, and the
names(s) of personnel to contact for further information. The description of the emergency
should include size of container, corrective action already taken, local weather.
• Conditions, injuries, proximity to populated areas, and directions for easiest access to the site.
• It is vital that the emergency plan include use of the “buddy system”, i.e., no personnel should be
allowed to work alone in an area with a chlorine leak even if the second person.
• It is only standing by. As indicated earlier, all personnel not involved in locating and correcting
the leak should leave the area travelling in a crosswind direction to an area that is upwind above
the leak. Since it may not be possible for all personnel to be equipped with respiratory
equipment, they should be instructed to use a wet cloth or handkerchief over the nose and
mouth while leaving the area.
• Emergency Control Planning Checklist for Chlorine Facilities may be of assistance in preparing the
emergency plan. A Material Safety Data Sheet for Chlorine, available from the Institute or the
supplier, should also be consulted.
R-112
• No emergency plan should be implemented until it is reviewed by the chlorine supplier and the
agency in the community having responsibility for hazardous material handling and disposal.
• If it is apparent that fire will threaten or is present in a chlorine storage area, it is preferable to
remove the containers. If this is not possible, the containers must be protected from the heat of
the fire by spraying them with water. Do not spray water on any leaking container, however,
since water will react with the chlorine, forming acids that will make the leak worse.
12 FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM
M/s. Anupam Rasayan India Limited management shall take in to consideration fire prevention
measures at the project planning and during plant commissioning stage to avoid any outbreak of

Even when all clear has been given, great care shall be taken when re-entering affected areas and no
work in connection with the salvage, collection of evidence or start up shall be taken up until a
thorough examination of the area has been carried out. The statutory powers of the Factory
Inspector shall be kept in mind before any evidence is disturbed. Particular care shall be taken to
avoid the introduction of possible sources of ignition, such as diesel engines, hand or power
operated tools, flame cutting equipment, etc. until it has been established that no flammable
materials are present where they could be ignited.
15.0OFF – SITE EMERGENCY PLAN
15.1 NEED OF THE OFF – SITE EMERGENCY PLAN
An off-site emergency plan is prepared to deal with those incidents which have the potential to
harm persons or the environment outside the boundary of the factory premises. A major accident,
major emergency and disaster may affect areas outside the plant. An explosion can scatter debris
over wide areas and its effects of blasts can cover considerable distances. Wind can spread burning
fumes of toxic gases. Thus the events like these described above can affect outside areas and
combating them needs an Off-site Emergency plan.
Envisaging such a rare incident, an off-site emergency plan should be drawn up for the following
purpose.
1. To provide basic information about the risk and environmental impact assessment related to
the unit to local / district authorities, police, fire-brigade, surrounding units, and the general
public. To appraise them of consequences and the protection / prevention measures and
control actions and to seek their help to communicate with public in case of a major
emergency. The information from all industries shall enable district authorities to educate
public about what could go wrong, and to train them of measures to be taken as an
individual.
2. To enable district authorities to prepare the off-site emergency plan (contingency) for the
district or particular area and to organize rehearsals and initiate actions learnt from these
incidents.
Our Emergency Plan shall be made after considering the all possible effects of incidents on the
neighboring population and the remedial measures will be devised in consultation with the local
authorities and emergency services.

R-142
Familiarize themselves with the location and site of all stages of flammable materials, water
and foam supply points, firefighting equipment.
• Act as observer of an on-site exercise involving only site personnel
R-143
b) If fire is escalating and in turn threatening a store of hazardous material, it is necessary to
evacuate people nearby if time is available; otherwise they should be informed to keep
themselves indoor and shield from the fire.
c) For release of toxic gases, limited evacuation may be appropriate in downwind direction with
windows closed and provides good protection. Toxic gases which are hazardous down to
much lower concentration cover a long distance. This factor must be considered while
deciding upon the need and extent of evacuation.
