RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.1 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Sunrise Technobuild LLP is developing a Group Housing Project at plot No. GH-1 in Awas Vikas Parishad Housing Colony, Veerbhadra Marg Yojna, Rishikesh. The project is spread over an area of approximately 3 acres. This is a residential project having three blocks A, B & C. Block A & C are residential Towers while block B is Villas. Maximum height of the buildings is approx. 29.5 metres. It also consists of a Commercial building and a Community Centre block. The salient features of the project include energy saving fixtures, sufficient aesthetic green cover and water conservation measures. The project involves a number of project specific activities on construction of high rise buildings such as installation of various types of structures and machineries. These activities include lifting and transportation of building materials at different levels, digging of pits, operation of concrete mixer, working near electrical circuit, which are required during construction of the project. Hence, such work puts workers at risk of burial, engulfment or falling from a height, risk of electrocution where the risk is particularly aggravated by the nature of the work or processes used or by the environment at the place of work or site. On completion of the project, the infrastructure created includes provision of lifts, DG set as power backup, laying of internal as well as external electrical cables, provision of pipeline for LPG uses (specially in kitchens), construction of internal roads etc, which pose risk of accident to the occupants . However, it is not always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and random failures of equipment due to human errors or natural calamities like storms, cyclones, earthquake etc. It is thus necessary to carry out hazard identification and risk assessment for risk monitoring and to formulate its Control Measures like Risk response planning i.e. Disaster Management Plan / Onsite Emergency Plan for the project. An essential part of major hazard control is, therefore, to be concerned with mitigating the effects of such emergency situation and restoration of normalcy at the earliest by following Disaster Management Plan (DMP) for different type of Emergencies like Earthquake, LPG leakage, Fire in the building etc. The TOR for the project stipulates to submit details of a comprehensive Disaster Management Plan including emergency evacuation during natural and man-made disaster. In compliance of the above direction, a detailed Disaster Management Plan has been prepared for compliance by the project authorities.

Risk analysis and risk assessment should provide details on risk posed to people who

work inside or live near hazardous facilities, and to aid in preparing effective emergency

response plans by delineating a disaster management plan (DMP) to handle on-site and

off-site emergencies. Hence, risk analysis and risk assessment is an invaluable method for

making informed risk-specific for any group housing project is complex and needs

extensive study that involves process understanding, hazard identification, consequences

probability data, vulnerability models / data, local weather and terrain conditions and

local population data. Risk analysis and risk assessment will be carried out to serve the

following objectives:

1) Identification of safety areas

2) Identification of hazard sources

3) Generation of accidental release scenarios for escape of hazardous materials from the

facility

4) Identification of vulnerable units with recourse to hazard indices

5) Assessment of risk on the basis of above evaluation against the risk acceptability

criteria relevant to the situation

6) Suggest risk mitigation measures based on engineering judgment, reliability and risk

analysis approaches

7) Delineation / up-gradation of DMP

8) Safety reports: with external safety report / occupational safety report

The risk assessment report may cover the following in terms of the extent of damage with

analysis and delineation of risk mitigations measures with an approach to DMP.

1) Hazard Identification- identification of hazardous activities, hazardous materials, past

accident records etc.

2) Hazard quantification- consequence analysis to assess the impacts







3) Risk Presentation

4) Risk Mitigation Measures

5) Disaster Management Plans (DMP)

7.1.1.1OFF - SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

A major emergency in any situation is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury

or loss of life, which may cause extensive damage to the structure in vicinity and

environment and could result in serious disruption to normal operation both inside and

outside the industry premises. Depending on the magnitude the emergency, service of the

outside agencies may also be envisaged.

The management has to take effective steps to assess, minimize and wherever feasible

eliminate the risk to large extent. Accident may still occur and it is necessary to be fully

prepared to tackle all such emergencies if and when they occur.

It is likely that the consequences of such emergencies will be confined to the units

concerned or may affect outside. If the consequences are confined within the plant

boundary, it will be controlled by Chief Emergency Controller. The most widely used

techniques in practice will be based on experience accumulated over many years and

safety audits.

7.1.3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Hazard is the characteristic of any system or process which has the potential for accident.

Identification of hazards, in the presence of any hazardous waste generating activities

within the group housing project is of primary significance in the analysis, quantification

and cost effective control of accidents involving construction.

The typical methods for hazard identification employed are:

1) Identification of major hazardous units based on Manufacture, Storage and Import of

Hazardous Chemical Rules, 1989 of Government Of India (amended in 2000)

2) Identification of hazardous wastes based on Hazardous Waste (Management,

Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules, 2008, and its amendments.

3) Hazardous substances may be classified into three main classes’ namely flammable

substances, unstable substances and toxic substances.

7.1.4 HAZARD ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION

A preliminary hazard analysis shall be carried out to identify the major hazards

associated with storages in the group housing project. This is followed by consequence

analysis to quantify these hazards. Following are the vulnerable zones of accident:

7.1.4.0 Frequent Causes of Accidents

1) Fire and explosion: explosives, flammable materials

2) Being struck by falling objects

3) Caught in or compressed

4) Snapping of cables, ropes, chains, slings

5) Handling heavy objects

6) Electricity

7) Poor illumination

8) Falls from height inside industrial units or on the ground

9) Struck by moving objects

10) Slipping on wet surfaces

11) Sharp objects

12) Oxygen deficiency in confined spaces







7.1.4. Hazardous Substances and Wastes

1) Heavy and toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, copper, zinc, etc.)

2) Organo metallic substances (tributyltin, etc.)

3) Lack of hazard communication (storage, labelling, material safety data sheets)

4) Batteries, fire-fighting liquids

5) Pcbs and PVC

6) Welding fumes

7) Volatile organic compounds (solvents)

8) Inhalation in confined and enclosed spaces

7.1.5 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disasters may be Manmade Disasters (such as Fires, Terrorism, and Stampede etc) or

Natural Disasters (such as earth quake, Tsunami, Flood & Cloud Burst etc). Various

criteria for the Natural Disasters and Manmade Disasters shall be considered.

For Manmade Disasters such as Fires, provisions of the National Building Code of India

(NBCI) have been considered and necessary provisions have been made.

For natural disaster management, there are the Natural Disaster Management Authority

(NDMA) at the Centre, Government of India and the State Disaster Management Authority

(SDMA) at the State level. For natural disasters, guidelines shall be followed as given in

the Vulnerability Atlas of India (Earth quake, windstorm, and flood hazard Maps and

Damage Risk Housing) prepared by the Building Materials and Technology Promotion

Council (BMTPC), Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation (MHUPA),

Government of India.

For Natural Disasters such as earth quakes, Earth Quake Zoning Maps have been

considered and earth quake resistant building structures and retrofitting of old buildings

and structures have been considered as applicable to the place where the project is

located. Flood & Cloud Burst data obtained from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD)

have been considered for structural design of the project.

Emergency planning is an integral part of the overall loss control program and is

essential for any well run organization. This is important for effective managem ent

of an accident /incident to minimize losses to people and property, both in and around

the facility. The format and contents of the Emergency Response Plan (ERP)/On-Site Disaster

Management Plan (DMP) has been developed taking into consideration the regulatory

guidelines, other applicable documents and accepted good construction practices

formulated as a result of lessons learned in actual emergencies requiring extensive

emergency response.







Disaster can be defined as an “occurrence of undesired events of such magnitude so as

to create a situation in which normal pattern of life within the group housing project

is suddenly disrupted, adversely affecting not only the personnel and property within

the group housing project but also in its vicinity.”

As per the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (Amendment)

Rules, 2000, “major accident” means–an incident involving loss of life inside or outside

the group housing project, or ten or more injuries inside and/or one or more injuries

outside or release of toxic chemicals or explosion or fire or spillage of hazardous

chemicals resulting in on-site or off-site emergencies or damage to equipment leading

to stoppage of construction or adverse affects to the environment;

A Disaster Management Plan (DMP) has been prepared considering the On-Site and Off-

Site disasters that can occur during construction and operational phases of the Project.

A disaster is a catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged into

helplessness and suffering and, as a result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and

social care and other necessities of life. The Disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure

safety of life, protection of Environment, protection of installation, restoration of

production and salvage operations in this same order of priorities. For effective

implementation of the Disaster Management Plan, it shall be widely circulated and a

personnel training is to be provided through rehearsals/drills. To tackle the

consequences of a major emergency inside the project or immediate vicinity of the

project, a Disaster Management Plan (DMP) has been formulated and this planned

emergency document is called "Disaster Management Plan".

7.1.5.0 OBJECTIVE OF THE DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The objective of the Disaster Management Plan is to make use of the combined resources

of the group housing project and the outside services to achieve the following:

Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties.

Safeguard other people;
