Lockout purpose:
When working on any machinery or equipment it is essential
that all sources of enery are isolated to prevent inadvertent operation of that
machinery or equipment which could result in injury to any p0erson working
thereon.
In order to ensure the above isolation must b e available
on:
transformer room
substations
electrical / distribution panels
starting switches of electrically operated machinery
staring device of hydraulically operated machinery
up stream valves on pipeline of air, water, natural gas, oxygen nitrogen, nitrous oxide, etc.
Main switches should always be
accessible.
Procedure:
identify the hazard(s) associated with work to be undertaken
obtain a permit to work in accordance with element 5.22
notify personnel within the area that work is to be carried out on the equipment
lockout the equipment
place warning sign (s) on the equipment
carry out zero potential test (s)-operate start stop switch at least twice
carry out the work
when work is complete
replace guards, tools and parts
move tools
clean area
notify personnel in that area
notify supervisor
sign off work permit
ensure equipment is switched off
Open the lock.
Preparation for
installing, this element to sites:
carry out lockout survey on all site moving machinery/equipment, use form attached
make out an isolation plan to isolate:
transformer room
substations
electrical distribution panels
starting switches of electrically operated machinery
starting device of hydraulically operated machinery.
up stream valves on pipelines of air, water, natural gas, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, etc.
provide locking system for each identified machinery/equipment.
provide a place to keep locks with one key only, the duplicate key to be sealed and kept with the site manager
provide a register as per enclosed format to keep record of issues of locks.
identify by name the users of the lockout system for each site.
train the users of the lockout system
issue the procedure to each user
of lockout system on site & keep record of such issue
Notes:
Where more than one person is working on the equipment a gang lock must be used
in such cases each person will lockout individually and retain the key on person-only that person will remove the lockout, no delegation is allowed.
no person who has not been formally trained or issued with a lock is to lockout machinery
as an additional safety checks it is recommended where possible to physically disconnect the energy source
new equipment must include a lockout facility in the design
Safety representatives to include if switches are lockable, checks the locks & register and the procedures if available during their monthly checks and report to the site coordinator.
It prevents the
removed substances from precipitating back again on the fabric during
scouring and post – bleaching washing processes due to its ability of complex
formation with earth alkaline metal ions. Thus, a better
whiteness and hydrophility is obtained in cotton bleaching process.It is a very
effective complexing agent, which prevents the formation of precipitations
due to water hardness and heat in wet mediums.It is
an efficient chelating agent for alkaline earth- and heavy metal ions.
The built
chelates are stable up to boiling temperature and even in strong alkaline
mediaCompatible with
optical brighteners.
APPLICATION
Application
quantity depends on the amount of heavy metal ions and hardness levels in the
medium.
Scouring process: 1-3 g/l ESOQUEST F100
Dyeing process: 0,5-1
g/l ESOQUEST F100
Peroxide bleaching: 0,5-2 g/l ESOQUEST F100
STORAGE
During storage
the lid of the container should be kept closed. It should be protected from
extreme cold and heat. In its original container and at room temperature the
storage life is 6 months.

The purchasing goods to be checked at the gate during arrival to the factory by the security personnel.
The goods must be checked as per challan by the security personnel and that is to be informed to the store authority for being realization about the arrival goods are pAuto r noticed or not.
After checking by the security personnel it is required to take permission from Admin authority for entrance the cargo vehicles.
According to production requirements supervisor will make a requisition slip.
The requisition must be placed to the production manager / Asst. Production Manager or competent authority who will give the permission after verifying of requirements.
All entrance gate, building, goods receiving and loading area, parking area, packing section will be monitored and observed by C.C TV system.
Minimum 45 days record will be preserved by D.V.R.
The recorded cassette will be preserved for minimum 6 month for requirements.
This C.C TV system will be controlled by one well trained security inspector under security in-charge by the guidance of the admin manager.
Previous incidents or occurrence will be detected by the recorded cassette.
After ensuring production manager’s / APM or competent authority the Raw Material Sourcing to be supplied as per requisition by the store authority.
Store authority must follow up & required to ensure about the utilization of goods.
The cargo vehicle is to be escorted to the predetermined unloaded area where the goods to be unloaded with the presence of store authority.
Store authority must check the goods according to Proforma Invoice (P.I) and to be stored properly in a secured place.
Raw Material Sourcing store authority must maintain a register for received goods according to details information like supplier name, quantity, date of receiving, place of stored, name of goods etc.
Internal Conspiracy – Anybody who is dissatisfied either a man or a group may do harm to the company. Beside this a man or a group may do conspiracy for the destruction of the company and for this he or they may inspire other to do the harm of the company. If this type of information is known before by the member of the security department he should inform this immediately to the administration department and will take necessary actions without any delay.
The main purpose of our organization is to produce quality
product according to the demand of its buyer and will export it on due time.
But many problems may occur into the organization due to its local and
international conspiracy. That type of intrigue may be in two types one is
internal and the other is external. If there is any disorder it may create
problem in many ways like property loss productivity may be stopped, the
product quality is below standard, it may occur by false evidence. For this
reason everybody should be alert. If this type of information is known by
anyone before they are told to report it to the admin department and it needed
discussion. Beside this every employee or worker should be well checked at the
time of entrance and departure. Their body should be checked either there is
any type of explosive / harmful element inside their bags, parcels or with
their bodies.
How To Face The Company Anomalies/ External Attack By Terrorist: If any terrorist activity is found before or if any theft or robbery happens or any major problem happens the theft alarm switch should be on. In this law enforcement department and different local group will come forward to help.
If any anomaly happens or any disorder is noted, the
security personnel will have to inform the admin authority except this if any
kind of terrorist activity happens they will also inform the admin authority
and also to the law enforcement department on phone and will ask for help if
needed. Even file a case at police station.
External Conspiracy
Strong conspiracy may go against the company by false evidence given by the labour or employee by the third party which may do destruction of the company and its buyer. For this purpose they may recruit any terrorist or any person knowing that he is able to do harm to the company or its property. For this purpose they may arrange any kind of explosive elements, bombs, arms into the factory. Beside this they can try to put that kind of explosive into the export cartoons. All the security members must be alert in this matter. If any information is known by the security department they are ordered to inform to the admin authority without any delay.
The security personnel must be aware of not only for
internal terrorist but also external attack done by the external terrorist. It
may be easy to have control on internal conspiracy of the terrorist but it very
difficult to prevent external attack. For external attack the security
personnel must have depth knowledge of that type of organization whose criminal
activities are well known to all. As for example they may keep out look for the
recent criminal activities of the modern world like Iraq,
Philistine, Afganistan, Srilanka, Pakistan, India, etc. In one word for
external conspiracy and attack the total security system and security personnel
must be alert each and every time.
