On
Safety Performance as per Indian and
International Standards
1

The primary purpose of measuring health and safety performance is to
provide information on the progress and current status of status of
strategies,processes and activities used by an organisation to control risks
to health as safety.
Introduction
2

Measurement information sustains the
operation and development of the health
and safety management system
system,and so the control of risk by:-
#providing information or how the system
operates in practice
#identifying areas where remedial
actions are required
#providing a basis for continual
improvement
#providing feedback and motivation
3
Risk Control Methods

In order to achieve an outcome of no injury or work related ill health,and
satisfy stakeholders,health and safety risks need to be controlled.
What to measure?
4

#Direct observation of condition and peoples’
behaviour
#Talking to people to elecit facts and their
experiences as well as gauging their views and opinions
#Examining written reports,documents and records
How to measure?

The term ‘accident’ envelopes a wide spectrum
of occurrences with or without significant
impact on the system. Consequential train
accidents include mishaps with serious
repercussion in terms of loss of human life or
injury, damage to railway property or
interruption to rail traffic in excess of laid
down threshold levels and values. These
consequential train accidents include
collisions, derailments, fire in trains, road
vehicles colliding with trains at level crossings,
and certain specified types of ‘miscellaneous’
train mishaps .

#Safety Action Plans were continually executed to reduce accidents caused
by human errors. A multi-pronged approach with focus on introduction of
newer technologies, mechanization of maintenance, early detection of flaws,
etc. to reduce human dependence in the first place, along with upgrading the
skills of the human resources were the prime drivers for accident
prevention.
#Periodical safety audits of different Divisions by multidisciplinary teams
of Zonal Railways as well as inter-railway safety audits were conducted on
regular basis.During 2011-12, 80 internal safety audits and 30 inter-railway
safety audits were carried out.
#Training facilities for drivers, guards and staff connected with train
operation have been upgraded. Disaster Management Modules have also been
upgraded.During 2011-12, 98,891 safety category employees attended
refresher training 16 .

The Commissioners carry out the duties/functions assigned to them under the Railways Act,
1989, rules framed thereunder and instructions issued from time to time.A gist of main-
functions are as follows:
(i)To inspect new lines with a view to determining whether they are fit to be opened for the
public carriage of passengers, and to sanction their opening after inspection on behalf of the
Central Government.
(ii) To sanction the execution of all new works and installations on the running track affecting
the safety of the travelling public such as rebuilding of bridges,remodeling of station yards, line
capacity works, re-signalling works, etc.
(iii) To conduct statutory inquiries into serious railway accidents and suggest safeguards.
(iv) To make periodical inspections of railways and report to the Central Government on any
condition which may endanger the safety of the travelling public and make recommendations.

#Food safety means an assurance that the food is
acceptable for human consumption according to
its intended use.
#”Standard”,in relation to any article of
food,means the standards notified by the Food
Authority.
#It is of vital importance to all consumers & food
business operators engaged in
production,processing,distribution & sale.
#It provides confidence to consumers that the
food they buy and eat will do no harm to the and
that they are protected from adulteration/fraud.
FOOD SAFETY - Why needed?

FOOD SAFETY & STANDARD ACT,2006
#The food safety and standard act was enacted by
Government of India on 24 August,2006
#For implementation,the Food Safety & Standards Authority
of India(FSSAI) was constituted on 5/09/2008

Petroleum And
Natural Gas Safety
14

As per requirements of Petroleum and Natural Gas (Safety in Offshore Operations) Rules, 2008
(Rules 23, 24 and 27) the operator shall establish a safety management system and shall ensure
that risk assessment is carried out, which will provide the necessary basis for taking decisions
to give due consideration to health, safety and environment.
Focus should be on following priority:
#Safety of personnel
#Protection of the environment
#Protection of assets / minimization of financial consequences of fires and explosions.

Radioactive Safety
Radioactivity is a natural phenomenon and natural sources
of radiation are features of the environment. Radiation 1
and radioactive substances have many beneficial
applications, ranging from power generation to uses in
medicine, industry and agriculture.
‘Safety’ means the protection of people and the
environment against radiation risks, and the safety of
facilities and activities that give rise to radiation risks.
Activities such as the medical uses of radiation, the
operation of nuclear installations, the production,
transport and use of radioactive material, and the
management of radioactive waste must therefore be
subject to standards of safety.
24

The IAEA is required by its Statute to
promote international cooperation.
Regulating safety is a national
responsibility. However, radiation
risks may transcend national borders, and
international cooperation serves to
promote and enhance safety globally by
exchanging experience and by
improving capabilities to control hazards, to
prevent accidents, to respond to
emergencies and to mitigate any harmful
consequences.
25
IAEA

Safety Objectives
(a)To control the radiation exposure of people and the release
of radioactive
material to the environment.
(b)To restrict the likelihood of events that might lead to a loss
of control over
a nuclear reactor core, nuclear chain reaction, radioactive source
or any
other source of radiation.
(c)To mitigate the consequences of such events if they were to
occur.
26

Safety Principles
1.)Responsibility for safety
2.)Role of government
3.)Leadership and management for safety
4.)Justification of facilities and activities
5.)Limitation of risks to individuals
6.)Protection of present and future generations
7.)Emergency preparedness and response
8.)Protective actions to reduce existing or unregulated
radiation risks
27

Mining Safety
Underground mining is a highly
dangerous and hostile
environment and the most
important contributing factors
are pressure, heat and worker
fatigue. It is, therefore,
important to create a safe
working environment that will
reduce these challenges so that
mining can continue.
