Importance of Personal Hygiene in Today’s world

NATIONAL SAFETY WEEK – 2022

Shri. Vysakh V Gopal Sacred Hearts College, Thevara.

“Sanitation is more important than independence.” These are the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi. The above quote rightly says that sanitation and personal hygiene Is an integral part of healthy living. Importance of personal hygiene should be analyzed in the present content of the Covid-19 pandemic which has caused tremendous disruption to the lives and work processes around the globe. Now the world is under the threat of a third wave ie:- the Omicron variant which appears to spread faster than the Delta Variant (second wave). According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) “Vaccines are an important tool in our fight against the pandemic but vaccines alone will not free any country out of this pandemic. We must scate up vaccination and at the same time, implement public health and social measures, which have proven critical in limiting transmission of COVID-19 and reducing deaths.” As of February 6, 2022, 5753903 people have died due to covid all over the world and there are currently 394406156 confirmed cases in 223 countries and territories. This is the time when we all need to come together and have a spirit by doing our bit in fighting against the disease. As a responsible citizen, we need to understand that our focus should be on maintaining personal hygiene not only for ourselves, but for others as well. Wherever we go, we should sanitize the area properly maintain properly to win the war against the deadly virus. Well before the pandemic. The Government of India had started a massive mission called the swachh Bharat Abhiyan, with a view to create some basic amenities for personal hygiene and healthy living. This is the time we should introspect that how far we have to succeed in educating our fellow countrymen about the need for personal hygiene. Importance of personal hygiene Personal hygiene is absolutely necessary for the existence of a person and to maintain a happy and 22

National Safety Council-Kerala Chapter

healthy lifestyle. With the increase in health risks to humans, it has become very important to stay hygienic. The lack of hygiene in the world has played a vital role in triggering several chronic diseases and infections. In many societies, poor hygiene is deemed as an objectionable offense. Personal hygiene is not just about and restricted to personal grooming, but extends itself to domestic, professional and civic health of a society. In other words, cleanliness is not restricted to washing your body and getting rid of germs alone, but is also concerned with the well being and mental health of a person. Unhealthy conditions often leads to accidents and injuries and the loss of life which in turn is an destruction to a nations productivity. The habit of personal hygiene needs to be inculcated from childhood itself. Children need to be taught the importance of both personal hygiene and maintaining healthy surroundings. Many cultures have a strict regime of washing hands and legs before entering the house. That is why in traditional setups, a bucket would be kept outside next to the house’s porch so that people wash their hands and feet before entering the house. The factors affecting personal hygiene are:1. Physical disabilities of persons might be a reason which affects personal hygiene. 2. Psychological instabilities can cause persons to neglect their personal hygiene. 3. Social and cultural outlook sometimes affect personal hygiene. In some societies, daily bathing and grooming are expected from everyone. But there are some other societies which do not encourage daily bathing and changing of clothes. 4. Financial conditions are also affecting personal hygiene. For maintaining proper personal hygiene, it requires having the basic

toiletries. However financial problems may prevent people from buying such materials. Benefits of personal hygiene

Personal hygiene helps to increase productivity. Unhygienic conditions often lead to sickness which hampers productivity. Healthy people can work more positively and it helps to increase their productivity. Let’s look at how we can become a hygienic person and live a healthy and peaceful life

the moral duty of an individual to keep himself clean and healthy for a better living. During the alarming spread of the corona virus pandemic, which will causes a great threat to many lives, There has been a spiking rise in educating masses on the basics of personal hygiene. Basic principles to be followed 1. We should clean our hands regularly as many germs are present on our hands, wash hands before eating food, before touching any edibles and before starting to cook, after using toilets, etc. The term wash stands for water, sanitization and Hygiene which is the only way to fight diseases. 2. If we are having any symptoms of sickness, stay away from others. Avoid touching your face and cover your month and nose when coughing or sneezing. 3. We should also wash our clothes regularly with good detergent, don’t use dirty clothes which will spread the bacteria clean utensils on time to keep them clean and germ free using dish washers. 4. We should also cut our nails from time to time because they contain many germs. 5. Oral hygiene is also very important. To keep the mouth healthy and safe, we should brush them twice a day with germ-killing toothpaste. Also, we should rinse our mouth well with water after consuming food. Conclusion We must persue the above personal hygiene habits in our daily routine. Healthy people are more productive which in-turn increases the productivity of the Nation. Now during this pandemic period it has become mandatory to fight the war of hygiene in order to provide a healthy world. No doubt, with a clean body and healthy mind, we can make our future generations peaceful, happy, healthy and wealthy.

Personal hygiene is not a one day thing but it is a habit that we must develop for a lifetime. It is

An Introduction to Poisons Information Centre

SAFETY AWARENESS

Poisonings and venomous bites and stings remain a major cause of death and disability in India with mortality rates ranging amongst the highest in the world. Estimates suggest that every year in India, over 20,000 die of pesticide self-poisoning and nearly 60,000 die of snakebites. The use of hazardous chemicals in occupational settings is associated with potential physical, health and environmental hazards. The National Disaster Management Authority of India has reported 130 serious chemical accidents over the past decade resulting in 259 deaths and 563 people with major injuries. Despite this staggering statistic, the concept of Poisons information Centers is yet to catch on in India. Poisons Information Centers are specialised units that advise on and assist in the prevention, first-aid, diagnosis, and management of poisonings and envenomings. Currently, less than ten well-established poisons centers exist in India with its population of 1.3 billion which is in stark contrast to other regions like Europe which collectively has 70 poison centers for a comparable population of 748 million. What is a Poisons Information Center? A Poisons information center (PICs) is a specialized unit which provides advice on the diagnosis and management of poisonings in patients of all ages. All modes of exposure, routes and circumstances such as accidental, environmental, intentional and unintentional are handled by such centers. Additionally, PICs may also assist in poisoning prevention strategies, public outreach, response to chemical disasters, training of health providers, public awareness and identification and evaluation of toxic risks in the community. The structure and function of PICs tend to vary worldwide. However, at a minimum, they provide advice on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of poisonings in cases of human and in some instances, animal exposures. This constitutes the basic function of a poisons information service. Some units are additionally attached to diagnostic laboratories and/or clinical treatment units. How does a PIC function? The workforce involved in a poison information centre is multidisciplinary and usually includes specialists in poisons information and physicians with experience or specialized training in toxicology. Poisons information specialists belong to varied biomedical or health backgrounds and are generally trained specifically in receiving and responding to poisoning related queries in emergency settings. Additionally, several specialist advisors including experts in toxinology, epidemiology, botany, entomology, herpetology, teratology and veterinary sciences can be affiliated with PICs to provide advice from time to time.

e-Suraksha |Oct-Dec-2022

How can a PIC be accessed? Information regarding poisons is shared predominantly via the telephonic medium which is especially useful during emergencies. Many centres run the telephonic service 24-hours a day, 7 days a week to assist with emergency information though the timing of availability can often vary. Additional channels of communication include computer networks, written responses to enquiries and publications. With the advent of easier means of multimedia communication and their widespread use, many centres are now accessible via media like WhatsApp ©. In this role, PICs have been able to aid in the remote identification of indigenous plant poisons, pesticides and pharmaceuticals and guide management of associated poisonings in remote and rural settings through verbal descriptions of the toxidrome and shared pictures of the implicated agent via telephone camera or computer.

SAFETY AWARENESS

Who can access the PIC? Callers who seek advice from a poison information centre may be health professionals, other professionals (such as police, schools) or the general public. The information is tailored to the circumstances and is appropriate to the enquirer’s level of knowledge and understanding. Evidence-based advice on recognition of the toxidrome, relevant investigations and management is provided, thus preventing ineffective or unnecessary treatment. What is the role of a PIC in Chemical safety? Chemical incidents occur when there is an uncontrolled release of a toxic substance resulting in potential or actual harm to public health and the environment. This includes events such as an explosion at a factory or chemical spillage on roadways and other transport routes, natural events such as volcanic fires and exposure to natural toxins like aflatoxin or arsenic or fluorine contaminated ground water. In 2007, the Global Plan of Action agreed by the International Conference on Chemicals Management (ICCM1) reinforced the importance of PICs in chemical safety and management of outbreak. PICs are usually the first set of agencies notified of a chemical emergency, often by a call from a concerned member of the public or first-response health-facilities. In the setting of mass exposures, PICs play a vital role by assisting with the identification of poisons when the chemical is unknown, providing advice on emergency measures like decontamination, appropriate first aid and the medical management of victims. In addition to mitigation of an outbreak, PICs also play the role of an alert system for preparedness against chemical terrorism attacks and accidental exposures. The Christian Medical College Poisons Information Center (CMC PIC) The Poisons Information Center at Christian Medical College, Vellore was established in 2019 after a decadelong effort, in response to multiple perceived toxicological risks in the region and challenges faced by patients in accessing quality medical care. The CMC PIC has a Clinical Toxicology Unit for in-patient and out-patient care of poisoned patients and an Analytical Toxicology Laboratory attached to it.

National Safety Council-Kerala Chapter

SAFETY AWARENESS

The CMC PIC is a multidisciplinary team consisting of Physicians and a toxicology nurse educator. Information related to poisons, poisonings, bites and stings is provided via phone calls (on a toll-free number), messaging services and electronic mails, free of cost, 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The primary information sources used for providing information are TOXBASE, ILO cards and in-house case and product data files. Most calls received at the PIC (92%) are from doctors serving in remote and rural primary hospitals. Nearly 80% are requests for advice on and assistance with clinical diagnosis in poisoning and snakebite patients and further management. Consequently, all calls at the center are received by physicians with experience and training in clinical toxicology to ensure optimal service. The initial call is usually followedup by review calls from the center 6, 24 and 48 hours later. Role of CMC PIC in chemical incidents Nearly 25% of the calls received pertained to the diagnosis and management of industrial or household chemical poisonings. These include 5 major incidents of mass toxic gas exposure where the Poison Center was accessed within hours of each incident having occurred. The CMC PIC has played an important role in these chemical incidents providing emergency information for public and health providers on containment measures, first-aid, decontamination, medical stabilization, and antidotal therapy which were disseminated via electronic media. The CMC PIC has also coordinated and guided the transfer of patients with industrial chemical exposures from peripheral centers to the Clinical Toxicology Unit for advanced management. The way forward Poisons Information Centres play an important role in the management of poisonings and envenomings. They can contribute significantly to the mitigation of chemical incidents. There is an urgent need to increase awareness amongst the general public and stakeholders involved in different industries about their existence and functions so that their services are optimally utilized.

Presidential Address by Shri P Pramod

Excerpts from his speech are reproduced below: Shri Pramod in the initial part covered the how the concept of IDDR was developed from the target set by United nation through the Sendai Framework. • All Disasters have three phases- Pre-disaster phase, Disaster Phase and Post Disaster phase. Pre disaster phase consists of Prevention, Mitigation and Preparedness. Disaster phase deals with Response activities. Post Disaster Phase deals with Rehabilitation, Recovery and Reconstruction. He evoked the name of past President of India, Late Pranab Mukherjee who said that India was spending 3 to 4 % of GDP in dealing with Disaster and Post Disaster phase activities. Instead, if India were to spend just 0.1% of the same and focus more on the pre-disaster activities, India can save crores of rupees. • Factories & Boilers department as part of Government body, is committed to Pre-disaster activities specifically related to industry. They focus on preventing and building preparedness of industries to prevent disasters. As per ILO report, every year 2 million workers are killed in Industrial accidents and Occupational safety. The traditional measures and attempts have not been successful in reducing the accidents. Hence it is need of the hour to develop early warning system by adoption 30

He lauded the efforts of HSE Forum, NSC-Kerala and Department of Factories & Boilers in creating heightened awareness. He also complimented Shri P Pramod for his leadership in coordinating the various agencies proactively. Excerpts of his speech: India is one of the highly hazardous prone country in the world. IN terms of Disaster, there is regularity in the disasters happening inside the country.

• Kerala even inspite of small state, is prone ot natural hazards. The industries in Kerala has impact on chemical risks. The way different agencies in Kerala & general public came together in disaster management during the floods stand testimony to effective manner of quick response which is noteworthy. • Implementation of corrections and Lessons from past Disaster for improving the future also Kerala is an example. • Zero Tolerence for achieving near zero accident. In practical terms, achieving near zero in very difficult and so, having Emergency Preparedness is a must to appropriately handle a disaster. • Second important point is early diagnosis of challenges. Any disaster will give some signals or early warning. Taking action on these will help in preventing disasters. • Third important point is early preparedness. In handling natural disasters, some places we have robust system and some, there is a lag. The distinction is because of different level of preparedness which is key to preventing loss of life. Chemical & Industrial disasters, the worst case scenario is considered in Risk Assessment and. Equally important is to consider lower order risk. A minor deviation of misses or near misses to be captured and corrective actions taken to minimise risks. • We should come-up with initiative with Government and NSC – approach to build a failure data. Along with this, the Vulnerability aspects related to time of event and vulnerability information also are to be captured in the database. • Dr Anil Gupta touched upon the Prime Minister’s 10 Point agenda in which the agenda 8 is on emphasis of local capacity building. NSC -KC and Kerala have effectively developed volunteers for the same. • Two major legislations are about to finalize now by govt of India. • One is on HSE and second Chemical Safety regulations. Soon this regulations will be in place which will provide better impetus to Safety in country. • Dr Gupta complimented Shri Pramod, NSC-KC, Department of factories and Boilers for the active interest in promoting & building a culture of safety e-Suraksha |Oct-Dec-2022

the support of conducive conditions. Flash Point, Limits of flammability. The minimum ignition energy is minimum energy required to iginite. For 0.1 to 1 milli joule. A person walking on a carpeted floor can generate 40 mJ which can easily ignite methane whose minimum Ignition is at 0.29 mJ. The flash point is the lowest temperature that a flammable liquid can generate enough vapour to form a mixture with air that will ignite. • An ignition source is required to combine with oxygen and fuel to complete the fire triangle. Hydrocarbons get ignited either by external ingnition like sparks or by auto ignition when the temperature goes up. • The flashpoint of Diethyl ether is -42.8, Acetone is -20, Hexane is -22.6, ethyl acetate is -13 deg c and Xylene is 26.10 Deg C. This means at room temperature of 30 Deg c or more, these solvents even in small quantity can trigger a fire. For Acetylene gas, fire can get initiated even in the absence of oxygen. Ignition energy between the lower flammable energy and upper flammable energy will very critical to initiation of fire. • One incident in Kochi leak of CS2 from butterfly valve during product transfer resulted in explosion and fire. The accident 2 people and injured 12 others. The smoke detector works on principle of smoke detection or radiative flux. In case of CS2, The smoke and radiation from the flame is low. The minimum ignition energy for CS2 is 0.009 mJ and flash point of -30 deg C. Detection with naked eye due to transparent nature of smoke is also not possible resulting in disastrous fire incident. • Emergency response exercise simulating a real life incident during unloading of Toluene Di Isocyanate was explained with video clip. • The fire and explosion in the oxygen unit of Vizag Steel was shared. Sixteen people were killed and 20 were injured in the incident. Proactive Approach to Disaster Prevention through Process Safety Management from Design to Operation Speaker: Shri Raju P S Profile Mr Raju Pattathil Sasidharan holds a B Tech in Instrumentation & Control Engineering from University of Calicut with more than 25 years of industrial experience. He is also • Certified PHA-HAZOP Leader from TUV NORD

HSE FORUM-KERALA

• Certified Functional Safety Expert, CFSE • Functional safety certified professional, TUV Sud, • Chartered Engineer, Institution of Engineers ( India ). He has worked in various capcities in India & abroad. The companies served include 2 years in ONGCBombay offshore, 4 years in BPCL-Kochi refineries, 8 years in Dolphin Energy Limited, Doha, Qatar and 5 years in Petronas Carigali Sdn, Bhd, Kualalumpur, Malaysia. Shri Raju Pattathil Sasidharan, Certified Functional Safety Expert delivered talk on role of Process Safety Management from concept to operation in preventing industrial disasters. • Safety systems are barriers to accident. Disasters happen because of failure of these safety barriers across multiple levels. These multiple barriers are Structural Integrity, Process Containment, Ignition Control, Detection system, Shutdown systems, Emergency response and Life saving. • Process Hazard Analysis is prime tool for proactive methodology of risk prevention. In any chemical plant, Front End Engineering & design (FEED) is the time when hazards are identified through Hazard Risk Studies and evolution of detailed Risk mitigation design and safety barriers are to be built. • In Operation phase of Chemical Plant, Monitoring & Continuous Improvement of the safety systems are done. • Process Hazard Analysis is normally done a team through step by step process which include hazard identification, identifying of loss event scenarios, evaluation of the risks and to identify where existing safeguards are not adequate. • Layers of Protection -LOPA : Safety Instrumented Systems trips or shutdowns the process in the event of a fault. The safety systems ar built such that prevention , Control and Mitigation is adequately taken care . • Safety Instrumented Systems with SIL 1 to SIL 4 helps to build safeguards to transition from Unacceptable region to Tolerable region to Acceptable region of safe system can be built. SIL4 guarantees much more than SIL1 devices. Life Cycle identified using right tools and techniques. • SIL: Safety Integrity Limit: Sil Lifecycle • Robust design to handle cyber security was

explained in detail. These include crackers involve breaking into the computer network of the factory through hacking and lock the hard disk or data for money. Second is terrorist attack who deliberately destroys for creating damages. Third is insider disruption who can disrupt the operation with risk of safety due to grudges. The last is attack by hostile countries. • Differentiating between BPCS & SIS: BPCS is Basic Process Control System to keep a process running safely. It does not have SIL level. SIS is Safety Instrumented Systems to bring the process to a safe shutdown during emergencies. BPCS role is to keep the process running and SIS function is to ensure safe shutdown the process in emergency. The field sensors, controller and the element/devices to control the process for both systems. Reliability-wise, BPCS may not be as good as SIS. SIS should have performance measure called probability of Failure on Demand, which means the device has to deliver in foolproof manner. SIL values provide measure of it.

The Environment Protection Act 1986 and Ministry of Environment & Forest was formed in the aftermath of Bhopal gas tragedy and laws came to be formulated. Today, there are 15 Acts and 19 Rules that govern the chemicals in India with groupings like Import & Export, Manufacturing of Chemicals, Transportation of Chemicals, Consumers interest in using chemicals, Protection of Human Health and Environment. The most important 2 chemical regulations in force in India are: (a) Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (Amendment) Rules-1989, 1994, 2000. (b) Ozone Depleting substance (R&C) Rules 2000. In any chemical disaster, the 4P affected are Potential, People, Price and Pollution. The contact point of chemicals with personnel in industry are during Raw Material handling & transportation, Leakage of chemicals, Operational failures and Accidents. The exposure could be lead to ingestion, inhalation or skin contact. The dose, toxicity, duration, route etc play important part in the exposure risks. The definition of hazardous chemical is defined by OSHA standard as any chemical which can cause a physical or a health hazard. The relationship between Risk, Hazard and Exposure was covered along with measures needed for Risk assessment, Safe handling of various categories of Hazardous Chemicals as per their classification and Safety Guidelines. The talk also covered Hierarchy of Controls starting from PPE, Administrative controls, Engineering Controls, Substitution and Elimination. Mr Babu Jose touched upon the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and labelling of Chemicals ( GHS) created by United

Nations to communicate on Environmental risk, Chemical risk and Health risk through GHS pictograms. He concluded his talk with the need for engineers to be professionals reminding them of their duty to be safety conscious in all aspects of the works.
