Environmental Management System: 2004 EMS 14001 ISO


  : Introduction

Health and human well-being and its dependence on the environment as it does today, what did not work rights to make a radical change in the way of life, work and entertain, the land of the transactions will continue in the NAA and the environment upon which the service will continue to deteriorate.

Plants can be a source for most of the local environmental problems and international problems, especially those related to air pollution, and these problems can have a rapid and progressive damage to human health and the neighborhood around him. Pollution of cities, regions and countries can be transmitted through the air and the air and groundwater from one country to another

Causing the effects of direct and multiple quality of life of people living near the source of air pollution or sea in addition to that most pollution is caused by inefficient use of natural resources in production processes of

The business community realized that the patterns of production and consumption, the current non-permanent and at the same time, the initiatives have shown that the length of doing business is increasing with the interest and taking environmental considerations into strategic action plans and long-term, which is necessary for business opportunities in a competitive business (companies) other that take environmental considerations into their work seriously and provide its customers and its suppliers and clients growing environmental expectations.

Strategy and environmental policy, of course, is the starting point for business (companies) to build the environmental aspects of its operations and equipment to secure the attention of methodology The development objectives and environmental policies of the company and included in the safety management system and environmental audit helps to monitor and develop the environmental performance in parallel with the development of environmental policy of the company

Risk assessment

Risk assessment: addition explaining


* After that the process of defining activities is a schedule of all the potential risks in the workplace which is known in the process of definition of risk is then a rate of gravity of each element of risk identified a process of risk assessment and is found rate risk through the creation of the product of what the following:



                     risk

  Probability x exposure rate x frequency = 



* After a dangerous rate move to the next column in the table and evaluate the extent of our control on the risk through our review of our procedures in place preventive and is it sufficient to reduce the risk or not:

 In the event that it is sufficient that mean that we are not in need  of additional procedures (put mark Yes or Y§
 If it is not enough This means that we need a preventive action or additional treatment (we do not sign or No§
* In the bottom of the table is calibrated degree of risk that have been created with standard rates of serious and that determine the type of action to be taken about it, and these standards are:
 RR ( risk rate) = 100 ° (ie, that the risks that may result from an accident would be catastrophic and may result in many deaths or heavy material losses, which amount to millions of dollar
 RR = 40 ° (mean that the risks that may result from an accident would be very large and may result in some deaths and material losses of up to half a million U.S. dollars
 RR = 15 ° (ie a major accident and material losses of up to fifty thousand dollars
 RR = 7 ° (serious injury and significant material losses amounting to five thousand dollars
 RR = 3 degrees (and the inability of simple physical damage up to five hundred dollars
 RR = 1 degree (first aid and minor material damage
• The transfer of risk with high rates (which are out of control) of the table and write it down directly below the table (in the specific fields) and to identify actions to be taken about it. And determine whether there was a need for further investigations
• This risk is also transferred to its plan for occupational safety and 
health so as to establish procedures and goals and metrics necessary 
to measure success in achieving them.

Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety


Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety

INTRODUCTION

Many industrial and laboratory operations require the use of compressed gases for a variety of different operations.

Compressed gases present a unique hazard. Depending on the particular gas, there is a potential for simultaneous exposure to both mechanical and chemical hazards. Gases may be:
         Flammable or combustible
         Explosive
         Corrosive
         Poisonous
         Inert
         or a combination of hazards

If the gas is flammable, flash points lower than room temperature compounded by high rates of diffusion present a danger of fire or explosion.

Additional hazards of reactivity and toxicity of the gas, as well as asphyxiation, can be caused by high concentrations of even "harmless" gases such as nitrogen.
Since the gases are contained in heavy, highly pressurized metal containers, the large amount of potential energy resulting from compression of the gas makes the cylinder a potential rocket or fragmentation bomb.
Careful procedures are necessary for handling the various compressed gases, the cylinders containing the compressed gases, regulators or valves used to control gas flow, and the piping used to confine gases during flow.

Safety Management System
 (OHSAS 18001)



1 - Introduction:

At the beginning I would like to recogniz the following information on the system:



 OHSAS 18001:1999 - shows the specifications of system safety management and occupational health it was developed to be compatible with the quality system

 OHSAS 18002: 1999 - instruction manual for how to implement the specifications of the safety management system and occupational health (which is inherent in the directory specification).§
 This standard has been developed and developed in response to urgent customer need to the presence of a standard recognized by the management system for occupational health and safety with which to assess management systems and certification .


(ISO 9001:1994) and specifications of the quality management system in the environment (ISO 14001:1996) in order to facilitate the process of integration between the systems of safety management and quality system in the management of the environment§

 When issuing any additions to the quality system ISO 9001 or ISO 14001, this specification OHSAS)) will be reviewed and modified so as to ensure the continuity of the three systems agree with each other§



Fixed fire extinguishing equipment (automatic equipment )

Is a fire extinguishing systems producing water or means of extinguishing the other to suit the type of materials exposed to combustion (carbon dioxide CO2, for example), works automatically to extinguish the fire immediately after it broke out, and to influence the actor in the protection of the site from the interaction of fire and its evolution and spread. Operate fire extinguishing systems producing water on the amounts released from the spray water to spread over the burning material is working to reduce the temperature below the flash point, fire extinguishing systems and other work on the rules of strangulation, cooling and ignition corrupting atmosphere. Possible installation of fire extinguishing systems producing water in all sites that are not affected by water, as they govern fire quickly and effectively, and a major influence in reducing the degree of concentration of fire, smoke and toxic gases emitted from the impact of water emitted from evaporation, and water spray fire.

Fire-fighting equipment and devices

Devices and fire-fighting equipment

Fire extinguisher is very necessary to make sure their presence in your home .. Your car .. Your store .. Your office

A - manual fire extinguishing / mobile equipment 

Equipment is hand-mobile "preliminary control" and used for fire fighting in the first stages by ordinary people who are in the building, must be amortized manual conform to the standard specifications and approved by the competent authorities, and is the extinguisher dry powder better Almtafat used to extinguish fires vehicles at all because they do not cause material damage and moral as a result of use, and are divided into types Almtafot hand to: -
pressurized water extinguisher (A)

Is a cylinder filled with water under the pressure of an inert gas, is used to extinguish the fires of wood and paper, textile and plastics .. Warning .. Can not use this type of extinguishing fires, electrical appliances and equipment relating to neighborhood electric fires or oil and grease or metal. Extinguisher and water works to reduce the temperature of the burning material.

 carbon dioxide extinguisher (BC)

Cylinder of steel that contains carbon dioxide that is compressed to the point of liquefaction is used to extinguish fires, oil, grease, paints and electrical fires and flammable liquids. Works of carbon dioxide to suffocate the flames and cool the temperature, starts at a temperature (76 below zero), amortized weak influence in the open air, dissipated by the wind, issued a strong voice when in use.

 extinguisher foam (B)

Cylinder filled with water and organic material to produce a foam (foam) is used to extinguish fires at amortized oils and oil and grease, dyes .. Attention .. Can not be amortized with the use of electrical equipment-related fires, electric neighborhood. Working to isolate the material surface for oxygen and cooling water to contain it.

 dry chemical powder extinguisher (D)

Cylinder packed with dry chemical powder used to extinguish fires, alcohol, oil, paint and flammable materials and minerals (magnesium - sodium - potassium), is working to isolate the burning material surface.

 Halon extinguisher (liquid vapor quenched)

Would prefer not to use this type because the resulting fumes are toxic and affect the users, especially in enclosed spaces. Because on the basis of chlorine, fluorine and bromine, all toxic gases and affect the ozone layer. A well-off for all types of fires.

 fire blanket

Used the cover of the fire (fire blanket) in the kitchens of the blanket is pulled from inside the box and open it completely and cover to prevent the fire of oxygen.

 The use of hand fire extinguishers

How to use water extinguishers

Is more important than the provision of fire extinguishers in the workplace is the process of training people how they use and how to operate and use is necessary and are summarized below
  when you use the fire extinguishers must be selected the site near the fire so that this site will be safe so easy to him to retreat when necessary, without the trouble or hardship, and preferably soon as possible from doors or exits the other and if the fire was outside the building must be located fire extinguishers
 the highest level of wind
 is the reduced stature of the person upon his fight against the fire of the useful means to avoid the risk of smoke and the heat of the fire the more easy for him to get close to the fire site
be sure to completely extinguish the fire before leaving the site so that fires are not expected to return once Others .
Pointing a water escaping from the bottom of the amortized sites flames and being a change of direction in space all the burning fire, and shall be submerged parts of hot water after turning off the flame to the fire In the case of fires that spread in the direction perpendicular to the lower parts must then fight against the tendency to Top .
How to use Foam extinguishers  
In the case of a means of burning inside the vessel shall direct the foam to the inner wall of the shell above the liquid level so that the foam that formed and spread over the surface of the liquid and when this is impossible, it is possible that had the foam top site on fire so that they can fall over the surface of the liquid where settle in a layer coherent and shall not be directed directly to the foam on the surface of the liquid because it makes the foam pushes the bottom surface of the liquid burning where you lose a lot of influential properties in addition to the possibility of scattering the burning fluid outside the vessel.
How to use the extinguisher
dry powder and carbon dioxide fumes and liquids quenched
In the event of fires in containers containing flammable liquids or inflammation when spilled the fluid above the floor shall direct amortized (dry powder - carbon dioxide - vapor fluid quenched) to the nearest side of the fire and then conducted a sweep rapidly in the direction of further party shall be returned to this movement until the fire fire, but if the fire in the liquid falling from a high level you must guide the amortized to the bottom point and then rapidly moved to the top of 0 and in the event of a fire devices and electrical systems went amortized in a straight line on the fire, and when the electrical equipment closed within a Vtsob amortized in the direction of the holes the existing body of the cover so as to force to the interior 0
How to use the fire blanket
Catch fire blanket be the upper end near the surface of burning material and the blanket is moved from the top and carefully to cover the body or the burning vessel.
Care manual fire extinguisher
Must identify the components of the fire extinguisher, namely: -
 amortized body: the body is a metallic material that contains the fire.§
 Hose rale is the part through which material from the body of Fire Extinguisher nozzle to ejaculation.
Extinguisher hose in sizes small There may not  nail safety:
  is a metal ring for installing the operating arm, and designed to prevent the fire starting §materials due to stress on the arm of the operating error.
 handle pregnancy: is a hard metal part which is used to carry the amortized.§
 operating arm: the metal part is moving above the handle pregnancy, which is amortized running tool and materials to extinguish the fire.§
 Index Pressure: is the part that shows the validity of amortized (note the presence of pressure index in all except the standard Almtafat extinguisher carbon dioxide that test the validity by weight or maintenance).§
Additional guidance
 You must make sure of the validity of the fire extinguisher because it is the loyal companion to protect you from the fire the moment it happens.-
 watch the indicator Palmtafoh - as well as amortized weight of carbon dioxide-
 Monitor maintenance history recorded on the amortized-
 Contact your specialist every 6 months for preventive maintenance of the extinguisher.-
 Contact your specialist immediately for refilling fire extinguishers for use and empty -packaging.
