How Accidents are Measures as per Indian and International Standard in Industry

How Accidents are Measures as per Indian and International Standard ?


To Measure an Accidents as per Indian and International Standard in Industries - to men statistical have been used together accident information the frequency rate and severity rate.

The frequency rate is the number of time lost accident orangeries which have disable and employee per 1,000,000 man hours worked. The severity rate on the other hand is the total number of days charge for lost because of accidents per 1,000,000 hours worked. 

Formula to Measure Accidents as per Indian and International Standard :

The national safety Council of the United States has given the following formulas for the computation of these rates.

Formula:

Accidents Frequency Rate = ( Number of Disabling work injuries / Total numbers of man-hours worked ) x 1,000,000

Severity Rate = ( Number of man days lost / Total numbers of man-hours worked ) x 1,000,000

Numerical Example:


  • Using the following data calculate the frequency rate of accident in an industry plant.
  • Number of workers,
  • Number of disabling injuries per year = 5
  • Average number of worked-hours  by workers per year = 2000

Solution

Frequency Rate = ( Number of disabling injuries/Number of man hour worked ) x 1,000,000

= ( 5 / 1000 x 2000 ) x 1,000,000
= 2.5.

(NRV) Non-Return Valves | Check Valves - Symbol, Types and Importance

(NRV) Non Return Valve A Non- Return Valves , check valve , clack valve, non- return valves , reflux valve, retention valve or one-way valve is a  valve that normally allows  fluid  ( liquid or gas ) to flow through it in one direction only.    Non  - Return valve/ Check valve are two-port valves, meaning that they have two openings in the body, one to enter the  fluid and the other to release the liquid. Types of (NRV) Non - Return Valves There are various types of check valves/non-return valve used in a wide variety of applications.  Non- return valves are often part of common household items.   Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, Non - Return valve are generally very small, simple or inexpensive. Non - Return valve operate automatically and most are not controlled by an individual or any external control;  Accordingly, most have no valve handle or stem. The bodies (outer shells...

(RFRL) Rainforced Rubber Line - EngineeriSafety

(RFRL)  Rainforced Rubber Line    RFRL Rainforced Rubber Line -   Reinforced rubber  products are the largest group of composite materials , though they are rarely referred to as composite materials.  Examples familiar are automobile tyres , hoses and conveyor belts . Composite Rainforced Structure   Reinforced rubber  products combine a  rubber matrix and a reinforced material, so that the strength of elasticity to high strength is achieved.  Reinforcing material, usually a type of fibre , provides strength and stiffness.  The rubber matrix, with reduced strength and stiffness, provides air-liquid tightness and supports refreshing materials to maintain their respective positions.  These positions are important because they in turn affect the mechanical properties.      A composite structure where all fibers are everywhere loaded at the same pressure is called an isotropic structure, and the type of ...

What are the Methods of Extinguishing Fire | Methods of Extinction and prevention

Method of Extension and Prevention: Fire depends upon a reaction between two substance and continuous because of self generated heat. There are four ways of Extinguishing fire i.e., by cooling the fuel below its ignition temperature. By cutting  off the oxygen, by cutting off the supply of fuel or by prohibiting the formation of chain carriers. This is achieved by  -  Taking away the heat faster heat it is generated. Separating the substance apart. Cooling the combustible material and its surrounding to a temperature search that fire die for want to heat. Smoothing the fire by preventing air from reaching eat or by diluting air with some inert gas ( smothering ). Starving the fire by removing combustible material fuel supply. What are the Methods of Fire Extinguishing: COOLING METHOD: Extinction by cooling is achieve, when the rate of heat generated is less than the rate the heat remove, hence the fire die water is...
