Cyclone Montha: Do's And Don'ts

 Cyclone Montha: Do's And Don'ts

Before Cyclone Season

Inspect your house; fix loose tiles, doors, and windows.

Remove dead or unstable trees near your home. Secure loose objects like bricks, tin sheets, lumber, garbage cans, and signboards.

Keep wooden boards ready to cover glass windows if needed.

Stock hurricane lanterns with kerosene, battery-powered torches, and extra dry cells.

Demolish unsafe or condemned buildings.

Keep extra batteries for radios and non-perishable dry food ready for emergencies.

When Indoors During Cyclone

Switch off electrical mains and gas supply to prevent fires or gas leaks.

Close doors and windows to protect against strong winds. Evacuate if your house is unsafe, weak, or in a flood-prone area.

Stay updated on weather forecasts, evacuation notices, and safety instructions via trusted sources like NDTV, the IMD, and local authorities.

Drink safe water by boiling or purifying it to avoid waterborne diseases.

Board up windows or use storm shutters; if boards are unavailable, use paper strips on glass to reduce splinter injuries.

Keep emergency lights, torches, food, and water within reach.

If Outdoors During Cyclone Montha

Avoid entering damaged buildings until authorities declare them safe.

Stay clear of broken electric poles, wires, and sharp debris to prevent injuries or electrocution.

Take shelter in sturdy buildings or designated cyclone shelters to protect yourself from strong winds and flying debris.

During Cyclone Alerts And Evacuation

Listen to official warnings on radio or trusted news sources. Ignore rumours.

Leave low-lying areas and head for higher ground or evacuation shelters early to avoid getting stranded.

Pack essential items, including medicines, food for infants or elderly, and important documents.

Follow shelter rules and stay until authorities confirm it is safe to leave.

After Cyclone

Do not return home until authorities declare the area safe.

Prevent waterborne and vector-borne diseases by seeking medical help and getting necessary vaccinations.

Avoid dangling wires and other hazards, which may still be live.

Drive carefully, and watch for debris, fallen trees, and flooded areas.

Clear your premises of rubble, fallen branches, and other obstacles.

Report accurate information about property damage, injuries, and other losses to help authorities assess the cyclone's impact.

Maintain a safety distance of at least 15 feet from high voltage power lines for general activities, but the exact distance varies significantly by voltage and the situation

 Maintain a safety distance of at least 15 feet from high voltage power lines for general activities, but the exact distance varies significantly by voltage and the situation. For downed lines, stay at least 35 feet away and do not approach. When working near power lines, remember that electricity can arc to nearby objects like trees, and the ground can become energized. Always call your local power company for specific clearance requirements and safety guidelines, especially when working or driving near lines. 

General safety distances

For voltages up to 50 kV: Maintain a minimum clearance of 6 feet.

For voltages between 50 kV and 345 kV: A minimum clearance of 10 feet is recommended.

For all high voltage lines: A minimum of 15 feet is a general rule of thumb to prevent arcing and allow for safe access for repair crews. 

For downed power lines

Stay a minimum of 35 feet away from any downed power line.

Do not touch the line or anything in contact with it, including a tree or vehicle.

Call 911 and your local electric utility to report the downed line.

Warn others to stay away. 

Tree and vehicle safety

Trees: Never trim branches near power lines. The electricity can travel through the tree and through the ground, making the entire tree and the surrounding area dangerous. If a tree falls on a power line, it can energize the tree and ground.

Buses: Buses are large and can become a hazard if they come too close to power lines. The height of the bus can put it at risk of making contact with overhead lines, leading to a serious accident. If a bus contacts a power line, it can become energized and electric shock can travel through the bus and its occupants. The bus should be moved away from the power line as quickly and safely as possible. 

Additional tips

Listen for crackling or buzzing: If you hear a high-pitched buzzing or snapping sound, you may be too close to a high-voltage line, especially during humid conditions.

Do not use a tape measure: Never use a tape measure or any other measuring device to determine the distance to the power line, as it can become a conductor for electricity.

Call the utility company: When in doubt, call your local electric utility for the specific safety guidelines for your area.

 The need for by monthly  cleaning, rather than less frequent intervals, is likely due to the specific climate in Kurnool. Areas with hot, wet seasons or high rainfall and sun exposure can experience very rapid vegetation growth, requiring frequent maintenance to keep the safety and efficiency risks in check.

Safety Culture Maturity Model

Safety Culture Maturity Model

This is simply a methodology or a system that helps to improve and measure the culture of occupational safety and health in your organization, and this model will consist of five stages or five levels, through their application, it will greatly help you create a work environment that is largely free of risks and unsafe conditions

▪️Step 1: Emerging - Initial Origin

- This stage is the beginning of the creation of an IMS safety management system for the work of Develop management commitment 

▪️Step 2: Managing – Management

- At this stage, Health & Safety is considered one of the most important departments in the Organization and the entire administration and seeks and exerts its efforts in the goal of reducing the incidence of injuries and accidents that are likely to occur and is responsible for creating a safe work environment, meaning that it is not only the safety department that is responsible for applying safety in the organization, no, this is the responsibility of all departments, and some believe that it is always responsible for the occurrence of an unsafe situation because of an unsafe behavior and always We act towards the Unsafe act to make a penalty and this is not right "Look at the post of Hierarchy of act control that you downloaded you will understand what this stage means well"

▪️Step 3: Involving - Share

- Most of the accidents that occur are root causes due to administrative reasons, so all departments participate in the safety system and determine and make decisions that help improve the safety system in the facility

▪️Step 4: Cooperating - Collaboration 

- This stage shows that all workers are in cooperation in safety, meaning that everyone about you is not just safety personnel, but not all employees are safety, all of them have awareness of their eyes, you know the danger they have a culture of reporting, for example, you apply the stop card system in the site, so there is a participation of the workers, even if there are already Unsafe conditions, you have informed it of a specialized department that cooperates in solving and locking it

▪️Step 5: Continually improving - Continuous Improvement

- Here, in cooperation with the departments and the Top Management, you seek to continue spreading the culture of safety 

This model consists of 10 important elements:

1. Management Commitment

2. Communication Communication 

3. Productivity vs. Safety

4. The Training

5. Safety Procedures 

6. Participation

7. The Leading Indicators, the proactive approach to anticipating risk

8. Trust

9. Job satisfaction

10. Environment.

COSHH is a legal framework designed to protect workers from harm caused by exposure to hazardous substances at work

 🧪 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)

COSHH is a legal framework designed to protect workers from harm caused by exposure to hazardous substances at work. These include chemicals, fumes, vapours, gases, dusts, biological agents and cleaning products.

🔍 Why COSHH Matters

🚫 Prevents long-term diseases (asthma, cancer, dermatitis)

🛡️ Reduces exposure to toxic, corrosive, irritant & carcinogenic agents

⚖️ Ensures compliance with legal health & safety duties

🏭 Builds a controlled & safe working environment

🧾 Key Steps in COSHH Management

1) 📋 Identify Hazardous Substances

Review chemical inventory, labels, SDS/MSDS

Check for symbols (☠️ ⚠️ 🔥 ❄️) and hazard classifications

2) 📊 Assess the Risk (COSHH Risk Assessment)

Where is exposure happening?

Who is at risk (operator, cleaner, visitor)?

What exposure routes? 🌬️ Inhalation | 🖐 Skin Contact | 👁️ Eyes | 🍽️ Ingestion

3) 🔧 Control the Exposure

Apply the hierarchy of controls:

🧪 Substitute with a safer chemical

🔒 Engineering controls (LEV, fume hoods, enclosures)

🚫 Administrative controls (restricted access, rotation, SOPs)

🛡️ PPE (gloves, apron, respirator, goggles — as last line)

4) 🧼 Safe Use, Storage & Handling

Store in labelled & segregated cabinets

 (e.g. 🔥 flammables, ☣ corrosives, 🧪 acids/bases separated)

Keep spill kits, neutralizers & eyewash nearby

5) 🚨 Emergency Preparedness

Eyewash, safety showers, fire extinguishers accessible

SDS-driven first-aid & spill procedures communicated

Trained response team available

6) 🎓 Training & Competency

Workers trained on SDS reading, PPE, handling & disposal

Supervisors enforce compliance & stop unsafe use

7) 🗂️ Review & Monitor

Exposure monitoring (dust, vapour meters when required)

Health surveillance (skin check, lung function tests etc.)

Update COSHH file when product or process changes

🎯 COSHH Golden Rules for Workplaces

✅ Know the substance before touching it

✅ Use controls as per assessment — not as you “think”

✅ Never remove labels from containers

✅ Report leaks, spills, symptoms immediately

✅ Treat unknown liquid as hazardous until verified

Good COSHH = Healthy workers + Legal compliance + Safe operations

Daily HSE Inspections: A Purpose-Driven Practice

 Daily HSE Inspections: A Purpose-Driven Practice

Going Beyond Routine Walkthroughs

For an HSE professional, daily site inspections are far more than a checklist exercise. They are a proactive and purposeful approach to identifying hazards, reinforcing safe work practices, and safeguarding lives. Each inspection represents a commitment to fostering a safer, more compliant, and more accountable work environment.

🔍 Core Focus Areas During Daily HSE Inspections

PPE Compliance

Verify that all personnel are equipped with and properly using the required personal protective equipment for their specific tasks.

Permit-to-Work (PTW)

Ensure that all high-risk activities (e.g., hot work, confined space entry, working at height) are being carried out under valid, approved permits.

Toolbox Talks

Confirm that teams are conducting daily safety briefings to review job-specific hazards and reinforce safety awareness.

Housekeeping

Check that work areas are clean, organized, and free of tripping or slipping hazards. Tools and materials should be properly stored.

Barricading and Signage

Ensure that all hazardous zones are properly barricaded and marked with appropriate warning signage.

Access and Egress

Confirm that all access points, pathways, and emergency exits remain clear, unobstructed, and accessible at all times.

Fire Safety

Verify that fire extinguishers are available, functional, properly tagged, and unobstructed.

First Aid and Emergency Preparedness

Check that first aid kits are fully stocked, and emergency contact information and procedures are clearly displayed.

Electrical Safety

Inspect for damaged cables, exposed wiring, overloaded circuits, or other potential electrical hazards.

Unsafe Acts or Conditions

Identify and correct any unsafe behavior or environmental risks immediately during the inspection.

Positive Observations

Recognize and document safe practices to encourage continued compliance and foster a positive safety culture.

📝 Post-Inspection Responsibilities

Document all findings clearly and accurately.

Take immediate action on critical or high-risk issues.

Escalate unresolved concerns to the appropriate departments or supervisors.

Monitor and follow up to ensure timely closure of corrective actions.

Use real-life observations as learning points during toolbox talks or safety meetings.

💡 Why Daily Inspections Matter

Routine inspections are the foundation of a proactive safety system. They help prevent incidents, improve operational discipline, and embed safety into daily operations. They also reinforce the message that safety is everyone’s responsibility—when we inspect consistently, we protect effectively.
