INTRODUCTION
For any industry to be successful, it has become essential to identify the Hazards ,to assess the associated risks and to bring the risks to tolerable level. Recognising this, IFFCO-AONLA is continuously putting efforts for controlling the risks which are arising from various Hazards such that loss to Human life and property is negligible or zero. Its continuous best efforts to identify the Hazards and to bring the risk levels to tolerable level in the organization are recognised by several Government and safety regulating bodies. This paper describes briefly about various types of Hazards and their associated risks, how they are being controlled effectively through risk analysis at IFFCO – Aonla unit
In all plants, hazards and risk are identified time to time by using modern techniques. IFFCO Aonla unit is OHSAS –18001 certified company. So in all departments /section risk and hazards are find out by proper risk assessments. During this severity at various levels matched with probability level. And find out the case of intolerable, substantial, moderate and tolerable risk. Accordingly control measures at the place checked. Documentation done and records are maintained. .
At IFFCO Aonla unit, HAZOP, HAZAN study, Dow index, Risk Analysis, FMIA, Fault Tree Analysis are carried out at its inception level..At IFFCO Aonla unit, various risk assessment procedures are followed. This has been done by Dow Index method and Consequences methods. At the same time when any process modification done/needed, then also proper HAZOP studies and any other risk analysis studies are carried out to assess the risk due to the effect of modification.
Now as IFFCO Aonla unit is OHSAS –18001 certified company, in all sections/plants proper hazard and risk assessment procedures and documentation done. Time to time, plant/section updates of this done and audited by other sectional persons. And again compliance incorporated.
