1 7.0 Risk Assessment & DMP 7.1 Risk Assessment Risk analysis deals with the identification and quantification of risks resulting from the hazards present in the factory which will lead to accidents. Hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the various hazards that are likely to occur in the industry. Both hazard and risk analysis require a very detailed design and engineering information. The various hazard analysis techniques that may be applied are Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies, Fault - Tree Analysis (FTA), Event Tree Analysis and Failure and Effects Mode Analysis. The scope of study includes the study of proposed operations, storage and handling of raw materials with respect to Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and preparation of Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and Disaster Management Plan for natural calamities. Hazard Identification using PHA Techniques : Hazard is present in any system, plant or process that handles flammable materials. The mere existence of hazards, however, does not automatically imply the existence of risk. Screening and ranking methodologies based on Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) techniques have to be adopted at different stages of the project before risk can be evaluated. Plant Configuration : The Cement Grinding Unit is proposed for 2.0 MTPA Slag/OPC/PPC/PSC. Raw Material/Fuel & Transportation : Clinker will be sourced from RCL Cement Plants in AP &TN States and will be transported by covered trucks the Plant. Additives like Gypsum and Slag will be transported through covered trucks and Fly ash will be transported through bowsers/bulkers. High Speed Diesel (HSD) of 500 Lits. in about 3 barrels for standby DGs operations will be there within the premises. Hazard Classification based on Inherent Hazards of HSD : An inventory of the chemical stored was made and the chemical properties, including flammability and explosion characteristics, have been considered for hazard classification. The hazardous properties of HSD are : Specific Gravity 0.85 Specific Heat, kj/kg. K 0.48 Boiling point ( C) Flash point ( C) 51 Heat of Evaporation, kj/kg 244 Heat of Combustion, kj/kg NH 0 NFPA rating* NF 2 NR 0 MF 10 Fire Explosion Index (Medium) Toxicity Index 2.52 (Low) Threshold Quantity as per GOI 1000 Tons for Application of Rules (Rules 5, 7-15) Tons (Rules 10-12) *NFPA classification for Health, Flammability & Reactivity of a chemical on a scale of 0-4 least to worst. Thus, the HSD storage will be less than the Threshold capacity.

2 Based on Fire & Explosion Index : The next stage of hazard identification involves the estimation of Fire & Explosion Indices for the unit in the facility to give the relative severity of the unit from the fire angle. These are evaluated from the knowledge of the Material Factor, General Process Hazard (GPH) and Special Process Hazard (SPH) factors. Material Factor (MF) is the measure of the energy potential of a particular chemical or its mixture with other chemicals. GPH and SPH are evaluated by taking into account the exotherm or endotherm of a reaction, material handling and transfer hazards, accessibility, severity of process conditions and possibilities, dust and other explosions, inventory level of flammable material, etc. The F&EI value is then calculated as the product of MF, GPH and SPH. Detailed fire and explosion indexing were carried out for the major sections of the proposed plant. Fire & Explosion Indices (F&EI) for all the storage unit in the Plant have been estimated to give the relative degree of severity of the units using the criteria given below : Index Range Degree of Hazard 1-60 Light Moderate Intermediate Heavy >159 Severe Analysis of F&EI Results : A summary of the results including the material factors for each of the chemicals stored on site is given in the following Table. F& EI Calculations Material Fire & Explosion Units Max. Qty. Degree of Hazard Factor MF Index (F&EI) HSD Barrels 0.5 KL Low From the results of the F&EI studies, it can be observed that the storage unit have F&EI values less than 100 and fall under the low degree of fire and explosion hazard. HAZOP Studies : Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) is a powerful tool for identifying hidden design inadequacies and understanding operational mistakes that may lead to incidents or accidents. This will, in turn, help in taking suitable remedial measures. Cause - Consequence Analysis : Credible accident scenarios (CAS) were initially constructed followed by quantification using Cause-Consequence Analysis (CCA) for the identified scenarios. No explosion is possible as Quantity below explosive limits.

3 Intensity of Radiation at the centre of cloud Damage Distances for the Heat Radiation, m: i. Severe damage to life & property (within cloud) - - ii. 100% Lethality (37.5 kw/m 2 ) iii. 50% Lethality (25 kw/m 2 ) iv. 1% Lethality or severe burns (12.5 kw/m 2 ) v. First degree burns (4.5 kw/m 2 ) vi. No discomfort (1.6 kw/m 2 ) Nearest/Minimum Distance The damage contour cannot be given as the impact is confined at the Storage Area area itself. Probability of Occurrence : The overall probability of occurrence was found to be extremely low (10-7 ). 7.2 Disaster Management Plan Disasters are of natural as well as man-made nature. Natural Disasters include Earthquakes, Floods, Cyclones, Tsunami, River Erosion, Landslides/, Forest Fires, etc. and the Man Made Disasters include Nuclear, Chemical, Mines, Biological, Cyber Terrorism, Environmental Disasters, etc. The disasters will be handled in a proper manner with the help of local administration immediately on occurrence. Further support required, depending upon the severity, will be provided by District/State/National level Authorities. The resources available in the Plant will be extended to the maximum possible extent by the project proponent in the event of occurrence of any such natural disasters to provide rescue, first aid, ambulance service, medicines, shelter & food, to the affected people. DMP Cell : Disaster Management Plan for an industrial Unit is necessarily a combination of various actions which are to be taken in a very short time but in a present sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men, material, Plant / Machinery etc. to the minimum. A cell has to be formed for an effective implementation of disaster management plan. The main functions of the DMP Cell includes : Identification of various types of expected disasters depending upon the type of the industrial unit. Identification of various groups, agencies departments etc, necessary for dealing with a specific disaster effectively. Preparation by intensive training of relevant teams/groups within the organization to deal with a specific disaster and kept them in-readiness. Established of an early detection system for the disasters. Developed of a reliable instant information / communication system. Organization and mobilization of all the concerned departments/ organizations/ groups and agencies instantly when needed

4 Emergency Planning for Disaster Due to Fire : A major disaster that can be expected in any plant might be due to fire.
