7.2 Risk Assessment

Risk is a potential that a chosen action or activity will lead to a loss of human or property.

Risk assessment is a step for Risk Management. Risk assessment is determination of qualitative and
quantitative value of risk related to a situation or hazard.

Hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health or environment.

Disaster is a natural or man-made hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant
physical damage or destruction, loss of life or drastic change in environment.

Risk assessment involves the following:

● Hazard Identification
● Vulnerability Analysis
● Risk Analysis
● Emergency Plan

The loading unloading activity shall be
done with a safe zone defined and in a
marked safe area. All systems and
connections will be maintained and
checked regularly so that connections are
leak proof. Manual handling of chemicals
[solid or liquid] will not be done in the
process however if done this will be done
with the personnel with PPE and in rooms
with proper channelization of air
emissions. All chemicals shall be
purchased in tanks, tankers, drums as
applicable from the standard from
competent suppliers and other guidelines

study to be done by the proponent. This shall be outside the scope of EIA and shall be done as part of
Health and Safety compliance under Factories act and the Explosives act. Proponent shall engage
competent agency for this study and this shall be done prior to operation phase.

7.4 Risk Analysis

The risk is the likelihood of harmful effect big or small due to hazard, together with severity of harm
suffered. Risk also depends on the number of people exposed to hazards.

Risk analysis provides severity of harm from particular type of hazard.

7.4.1 Earthquake:
The area under study falls in Zone-IV, according to the Indian Standard Seismic Zoning Map, which is high
damage risk zone.

7.4.2 Flooding:
Contour level of the site is in between 216-218 msl, the River Yamuna which borders the district in the
east, is the main river in the district. The district is drained by drain no. 8, which was constructed to take
out excess monsoon runoff from uplands to River Yamuna. The chances of flood are less in the area.

TECHNICAL GRADE PESTICIDES MANUFACTURING UNIT AT SONIPAT, HARYANA BY M/S BHARAT PRODUCTS LIMITED

7.4.3 Fire & Explosion:

Fire is mainly caused due to carelessness. Since it is a proposed Pesticide unit, fire can occur due to
exposure of chemicals used in the process to electrical spark or vapour from chemical storage tanks,
problems in boiler, incinerator operation etc.

7.4.4 Electrical:
The electrical current can pass to the floor & metals due to inadequate insulation or accidently.

7.4.5 Mechanical:
The mechanical fault can cause the risk & hazard. Mechanical hazards are created by powered operation
of equipment or tools.

7.4.6 Thermal:
Thermal heat can be generated from the process machinery, D.G sets, Boiler, Incinerator and the vehicles
in the area. Thermal hazards are objects or substances that transfer energy as heat.

7.4.7 Chemical:
All the chemical uses in process have risk of leakage during handling, storage, transferring and processing
due to them being toxic and poisonous.

7.5 On-site Emergency Planning

An onsite emergency is caused by an accident or hazard that takes place within the plan area and the
effects are confined to the plant area.

The onsite emergency plan consists of the following key elements:

⮚ Planning as per hazard analysis

⮚ Preventive measures
⮚ Emergency response procedure

Sources of Exposure: Human exposure to chemicals can occur mainly via absorption, contact with the
eyes, inhalation or ingestion.

First Aid Measures taken:

1. In case of chemicals come in contact with the skin, remove contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and
water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

2. In the case of chemicals in contact with the eyes, flush immediately with gently running water for a
minimum of 15 minutes, ensuring all surfaces and crevices are flushed by lifting lower and upper lids.
Obtain medical attention.

3. In case of inhalation of chemical’s vapours, remove individual to fresh air, but only if it is safe to do so.
Asphyxiation from vapours may require artificial respiration. Due to the possibility of delayed onset of
more serious illness, it is important to obtain medical attention.
4. Ingestion of chemicals is life threatening. Onset of symptoms may be delayed for 18 to 24 hours after
ingestion. Do not induce vomiting. Transport to medical attention. The individual should remain under
close medical care and observation for several days.
Chemical Storage:
● Chemicals shall be kept away from heat, sparks, and flame. Kept away from sources of ignition.
Stored in a tightly closed container.
● Chemicals will be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
Specific storage will be given as per chemicals storage requirement.
● Storage & handling area will be readily accessible with safety showers, fire extinguishers and other
fire-fighting equipment, water hydrants with spray nozzle and other emergency equipment such
as chemical proof suits and respiratory apparatus.
● The flammable materials shall be stored in a separate safety storage room. Kept away from heat.
Kept away from sources of ignition. Containers will be kept tightly closed and in a cool, well-
ventilated place.

suitable container. All sources of ignition will be removed and a spark-proof tool used. Ventilation will be
provided and a vapour suppressing foam used to reduce vapours.

Hazardous Substances & Chemicals

Some of the raw materials solvents, fuels and products are classified as hazardous substances. Based on
the physical, thermal, chemical and biological properties available from the material safety data sheets

Identification of Hazardous Substances and MSIHC rules reportable substances

Some of the raw materials solvents, fuels and products are classified as hazardous substances. Based on
the physical, thermal, chemical and biological properties available from the material safety data sheets
(MSDS) of the various substances handled in the proposed project, the hazardous substances are
identified.

Under the Environment Protection Act 1986, the Government of India formulated the Manufacturer
Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 to regulate the activities associated with
the handling and storage of hazardous substances. Under these rules, the chemical substances which are
considered hazardous are identified, and the threshold inventory quantities are specified above in storage
of chemicals.

7.6 Off Site Emergency Management Plan:

If an accident takes place in an industry/ unit & its impacts are felt outside its premises, the situation is
called an “Off Site Emergency”. To meet such Emergencies, an Off-site Emergency Plan is required to be
prepared.

Cause of off-site emergency

In a Pesticide manufacturing industry, the chemical storage room, chemical handling area &
transportation of the chemicals, or a problem in the plant utilities may cause off- site emergency to occur.

The main objectives of the off-site emergency plan are: -

i. To save lives and injuries.

ii. To prevent or reduce property losses and
iii. To provide for quick resumption of normal situation or operation.
Chemical Accidents (Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response) Rules, 1996 prescribes for the
constitution of the State Crisis Group as apex body at the State Level to deal with major chemical
accidents and to provide expert guidance for handling major chemical accidents and for the constitution
of District and Local Crisis Groups

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

A safety data sheet (SDS), material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a
document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various
substances and products. SDSs are a widely used system for cataloguing information on chemicals,
chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. SDS information may include instructions for the safe use
and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product, along with spill-handling
procedures. MSDS i.e. LC50 oral, LD50 Inhalation and LD50 Dermal with their classification and potential

The LC50 & LD50 of all the raw material used in the proposed Pesticide Unit with their classification and
Potential Hazards extracted from the MSDS sheets of all the raw materials used are given in Section .
