MANUFACTURING PROCESS WITH ITS FLOW DIAGRAM: It is Cold Rolling Plant. HR Strips in coil form is the raw material of cold rolling. First this HR Coil is slitted or trimmed in required width and them passed through acid bath for pickling the surface. This coil is afterwards sent on Cold Rolling Mill (CR Mill) and it is rolled to the requirement of final product.

After rolling this material can directly sent to market as full hard grade or it is sent to annealing furnaces for relieving the stresses which are developed during rolling. The annealed material is then skin passed to remove the sharp yield points & to improve the metallurgical properties.

Finally after skin passing the CR strips is slitted or trimmed width wise & cut in length wise as per the final requirement of customers.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN

SCOPE OF THE PLAN: The Emergency preparedness Plan of the Company is divided in two Parts:

(i) On-site emergency plan : In this plan, the Company officers are given predesignated responsibilities for dealing with

the emergency.

(ii) Off-site emergency plan : In this, different Government Agencies will be informed about the emergency for necessary

help from them.

1. TYPE OF EMERGENCIES :

PURPOSE: An emergency can not be always prevented but it can be controlled within limits and its effects can be minimized by using the best resources available at that time.

Emergency planning is a management function and it should be penetrated up to the every person available, workforce. Managements have evaluated the activities, operation, and processes carried out within the works before starting to plant.

SAFETY PARAMETER: The Company established all safety parameters required by the statutory and Mandatory and

also considering its social responsibility.

Storage Bullets are well protected with fire hydrant system / Monitors and with bund/dyke walls around the tanks. Storage Bullets are also protected with sprinkler system. In addition to this we also provide additional sprinkler for unloading tanker. For both the gases we are in the process to install early gas leakage detection system for timely alert & action.

Objectives of the emergency plan. 1. To provide resources and methods for effective control of emergencies arising

out of leakage, explosion and fire due to hazardous chemicals. 2. To prevent the emergency turning into disaster. 3. Synchronized action from all the coordination agencies with least possible

delay. 4. To minimize damage to property, people and environment.

5. Effective rescue operation and treatment of the casualties if any. 6. Train the people to act efficiently and with confidence in an emergency. 7. To bring back the normal situation in the least possible time. 8. To provide authoritative information to the news media and government

agencies.

The Disaster Management Plan of the Company is divided in two Parts:

(iii) On-site emergency plan : In this plan, the Company officers are given predesignated responsibilities for dealing with

the emergency.

(ii) Off-site emergency plan: In this, different Government Agencies will be informed about the emergency for necessary help from them.

3. TYPE OF EMERGENCIES :

i) Fire ii) Explosion iii) Natural Calamities

4. OVER ALL OBJECTIVES :

The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be –

i) To localize the emergencies and to eliminate them.

Elimination will be done by emergency shut-off procedures, operating safety inter-locks and safety valves, using fire fighting installations and equipments, etc.

ii) To minimize the effect of the accidents on the employees and property.

Minimizing the effect will be done by rescue operations, first aid, evacuation of the plant personnel, rehabilitation and giving promptly information to the nearby residents.

5. HAZARD FROM PROCESS The plant process is itself fire hazardous in nature as there will be handling of HCL, propane, and AMMONIA & ZINC in liquid bath.

Hazard identification • Gas leakage • Fire • Explosion • Natural Disaster

Mitigation Measures

(1) On-site emergency plan

(2) Off site emergency plan

For On site emergency plan we evaluate the basics and distinctive requirements of each site for handling the foreseen emergencies of hazards.

Parameters

1. Size and nature of the work within the factory premises.

2. The location of the plant and site.

3. The nature of the input used.

4. The nature of the process.

5. The available resource for handling the situation.

6. The number of the people present in the shift.

Training and rehearsal

We ensure that the proper training of all staff and workers for handling the emergency and they must be able to carry out their specified tasks efficiently at the time of the emergency. Number of time during emergency it was experienced that work force behaves in a manner in which way they have trained. If trained properly they are helpful to control the situation. If not, they will worsen the situation.

Role of key personal Action necessary for one emergency may differ from the other, for handling any emergency different skill required because of different causes. Actions should commence and guided by the fixed people and the responsibility and the duties in the emergency must be given to the nominated key personnel for making the use of the resources available and to avoid any confusion at the time of emergency.

Other key personal It includes the senior managers in production, safety, security and personal dept.




8

Essential workers (Plant supervisor, chemist, operators, etc.) Duty and responsibility are as under. 1. They must be ready to shut down the adjoining plants which are nearer to the incident. 2. They should provide the personal protection equipment and the fire fighting equipment. 3. Act as messenger in case of failure of the communication. 4. They should record the evacuated person and casualties.

Non essential person. Advise them to leave the affected area and report at the safe assembly point. Generally daily contract labor, visitors and truck staff are non aware of the emergency hence it is a moral responsibility of the individual to take them out when any emergency arise.

Establishment of the control room Direction and co-ordination of operations to handle the emergency are relayed from the emergency control centre.

The emergency control room must be equipped with the following equipment and information for better control of the situation

1. There must be sufficient number of telephone.

2. There must be at least two copies of the list of key person with address and telephone number and there role.

3. There must be layout plan to show I) Area which may be subjected to high risk. II) Storage area of compressed gas cylinders. III) Location of assembly point and medical centre. IV) Location of the hydrant system. V) Centre must be equipped with emergency lighting.

Raising Alarm: raising alarm of the emergency is very simple but it is very clearly understood by the individual and make them aware of the different type of siren signals. To consider the all fact to avoid panic and work hamper during different level of emergency we bifurcate the siren system with one another and training for the same is confirm by conducting the mock drill.

Assembly point:

Evacuated person must be assembling at the assembly point. Great care must be taken so that people don’t come in contact with affected area while reaching the assembly point. The assembly point will be safest location and in two different locations so in case of wind direction it can be change.

Head count: It is a duty and responsibility of the personal manager to keep up to date daily report of employees within the works and who have been sent out side for outside duty.

Arrival and departure of the contractor, visitors and driver’s records to be kept ready for the day and night.

FIRST AID

Skin contact. 1. Immediately remove the victim from the affected area. 2. Immediately remove the clothing from the affected area. 3. Wash the affected area with the large amount of water. 4. Dust the affected area with powdered sodium bicarbonate, then again wash affected area with

mild soap. 5. Rinse the affected area with tepid water. 6. Dry the skin carefully using a clean and soft towel. In case of burn and blister. 7. Dress the victim in clean cloths or keep him warm using a blanket. 8. If the victim in the state of shock: 9. Keep him covered by the blanket. 10. Lay him on his back and carry him on a stretcher.

Eye contact 1 Remove the victim from the affected area.. 2 Quickly wipe away any excess of the chemical. 3 Wipe affected eyes with large amount of the chemical. 4 If pain still remains, put one or two drops anaesthetizing eye salve or one drop of

BENOXANATE at 0.4% into the eye. 5 If the pain remains, wash the eye again for at least 15 minutes. 6 Do not use any oil or oily ointment without medical advice.

B) CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Hydrochloric acid:

1. It is a fuming liquid. 2. It is completely soluble in water. The vaporous are heavier than air and settles on ground level. 3. It is hygroscopes liquid and absorbs moisture moderately. 4. Do not put water directly on the large leakage. 5. It reacts with metals to liberate hydrogen gas, which is explosive. 6. It reacts with strong alkalize to liberate large quantity of heat.




19

FIRE EXTINGUISHMENT - Fires involving small amounts of combustible ignited by contact with Hydrochloric acid, may be smothered with dry chemical.

HEALTH HAZARDS - 30 % Concentrated HCL as a sharp corrosive and destructive action on all living mater, including human tissues, not by virtue of its acidity but because of its affinity for water. it effectively removes the element of water from any organic materials with which it comes in contact, thus it can burn and char the skin. It is even more rapidly injurious to the mucous membrane and exceedingly dangerous to the eyes.

Dilute hydrochloric acid does not possess the property of charring. It irritates the skin and mucous membrane by virtue of its acidity. Repeated contact with dilute solution may cause dermatitis.

Splash injuries to the eyes are the most serious adverse health effect of HCL in industry, because contact with concentrated acid of any magnitude is capable of causing irreparable corneal damage resulting in blindness. At the same time, acid burns of the eyelids and surrounding parts of the face will produce permanent scar with disfigurement.

Exposure of teeth to Hydrochloric acid at the mist concentration causes first, etching of the dental enamel and then erosion of enamel and dentine with loss of tooth substance. The damage is limited to the parts of the teeth which are exposed to direct impingement of acid mist droplets upon the surface.

Inhalation of Hydrochloric acid is high enough concentration causes an irritation or tickling of the nose and throat, sneezing and coughing which is somewhat likened to the effects of breathing dusty air. At levels below these detectable by the foregoing subjective effects, HCL causes a reflex increase in the rate, and domination of the depth of respiration, with reflex bone- choconstriction resulting in increased pulmonary air flow resistance. Exposure to higher concentrations or for longer periods may result in bronchitis symptoms, discharge of mucus, bleeding from the nose and watering of the eyes. Exposure to HCL has also been reported to result inconjuctivities, frequent respiratory in factions, and digestive disturbances. A single over exposure to HCL may lead acutely to laryngeal, tracheobronchial, and even pulmonary edema, and chronically to pulmonary fibrosis, residual bronchiectasis, and pulmonary emphysema. Chronic exposure causes acid necrosis of teeth.

Ingestion of even dilute solutions of the acid causes severe burns of the cucous membrane of the mouth, throat and stomach.

FIRST-AID: It is essential to wash and remove any HCL that comes in contact with the body immediately as

any delay may result in serious injury.

Skin Contact - • Get under emergency shower immediately. • Remove all contaminated clothing as rapidly as possible while under the

shower. • If no safety shower is available flush the affected area with large amounts of running water

for at least 15 minutes.

Caution - Do not attempt to neutralize the acid with Alkali, since the heat of neutralization accentuates the

burn. No Ointment should be applied unless prescribed by the physician.




20

Eye Contact: • Using eye fountains, irrigate the eyes immediately with copious quantities of clean water. • Hold the eye lids part to ensure contact of water with all tissues of the eyes and eye lids. • If the fountains are not available, pour water over the eyes by holding eyelids open for at

least 15 minutes.

Caution - No oil or ointment should be used unless prescribed by an eye specialist.

Inhalation: • Remove the victim to an uncontaminated area. • If the victims is unconscious, check for breathing and for pulse • If breathing has ceased start artificial respiration immediately • If breathing and pulse are normal, place the victim in the recovery position. • If the victim is conscious, make him lie or sit down quietly. • If the breathing becomes rapid and bubbly, place him in the sitting up position and give

Oxygen. (Oxygen should be administered by the authorized person only). • Oxygen resuscitation apparatus should be available in the aid-room. • Transfer to hospital, in either case, as soon as possible.

Ingestion - • If liquid HCL has been swallowed and the person is conscious, give him large quantities of

water immediately to dilute the acid. Give him milk to drink if available. • Keep patient warm. • Do not attempt to induce vomiting. • Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious victim. - Get the medical attention immediately.

STORAGE AND HANDLING:-

Storage - .

• Lead lined tanks are recommended for HCL. • Smaller quantities of HCL stored in FRP tank or glass carboys or bottles. • The building in which the acid containers are stored should be constructed of fire resistant

material, having acid resistant floor fitted with retaining sills and adequate drainage. • It should be kept in cool, well ventilated area away from other chemicals, especially organic

materials, nitrates, chlorates, carbides, metal powers, peraoxides and explosives. • Electrical installations should be of acid resistant type. • Acid fumes from leaking containers can cause corrosion to steel and metal structure in the

vicinity. Therefore, these should be well-protected by plaint of the appropriate type. • Smoking should be strictly prohibited in the area. • All containers should be clearly labeled. • Glass or plastic containers should be adequately protected against impact. They should be on

racks above the floor level to facilitate flushing of the floors in event of leakage.




21

• Glass carboys containing acid should not be stored one on the top of another. • Drums should be with the plugs up and should be vented once a week and more often in hot

weather, to release Hydrogen build up. • Storage period of acid in drums should be kept to a minimum. • Bulk storage tanks of acids must be mounted on foundations lined with acid proof material. • It is necessary to provide acid-proof basin to the storage tanks with proper drainage to prevent

seepage of acid into the ground, thus endangering the foundations. • Tanks should be fitted with over flow pipes leading to an adjacent container and located within

bunds that will retain the total contents of the tank in the event of leakage or spillage. The bund should be have acid proof lining and should drain into an acid resistant concrete sump.

• Tanks should be equipped with vents of such sizes so as to maintain the tanks at atmospheric pressure during filling and emptying. Vents should be connected to a caustic pot.

• The top of the tank should be accessible by an independent, metallic ladder for inspection. The use of the top of the tank for standing during inspection should not be allowed as it may be corroded due to action of acid mist.

• Tanks should be protected from external corrosion by coating them with a suitable material such as bitumen, epoxy paint, etc.

Handling-

• Using only minimum concentration necessary for the process. • Never pour water into acid. When diluting, always pour acid into water, stirring constantly. • Whenever possible acid should be pumped through sealed systems to prevent all dangers of

contact. • Whenever individual containers are to be transported or decanted, only experienced person

should be allowed to undertake the work and the appropriate equipment should be employed as follows:

• Large containers should be transported on hand trucks or power trucks. • Small containers such as bottles should be carried in safety bottle carriers, which provides

protection against impact and retain acid in of damage. • Decantation should be done by means of special siphons, transfer pump, drum or carboy tilting

cradles etc. • Where acid is mixed with other chemicals, workers must be made fully aware of any violent or

dangerous reaction. • Where the process produces acid mist or vapors, such as in electroplating, exhaust ventilation

should be installed.

Carboys _ • The carboys should not be carried on shoulders. • Never handle carboys by the cap or neck of the bottle. • Be sure caps are securely fastened before moving either filled or empty carboys. • Never use air pressure to empty carboys. Use tippler Siphon pump etc. for removing contents. • The carboys should never be “walked” on bottom edges. Use hand trucks. • Wear face shields, rubber gloves, apron, boots and acid proof suit when opening carboys. Keep

face and hands to be side of the carboy, while opening. • Naked glass carboys or bottles should never be moved or transported, except when packed in

suitable boxes or crates. • Do not use HCL containers for any other liquid.




22

• Empty carboys should be thoroughly washed with water before being sent out.

Drums - • Avoid rough handling of drums. • Drums should be emptied by gravity only, using faucet or safety siphon fabricated material

resistant to HCL. • Use of air pressure for emptying drums is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. • Since drums may contain Hydrogen gas they should never be struck with a spark producing

tool.

Handling through pipelines - • All valves on acid lines must be provided with a hood made out of lead sheet to prevent of acid

from leaky valve glands. • Flange joints on acid lines are to be covered with a loose cover of lead sheet which will prevent

acid from spraying around in case of a leak at joint.

Tank and equipment cleaning & repairs - Maintenance operation should be subjected to a permit to work system; each permit should be

accompanied with detailed instructions on safe working procedure.

Storage tank must be thoroughly cleaned before undertaking any repair/ maintenance work. Repair should be carried out under the supervision of a responsible person.

For cleaning the tank, first shut off, put a blind flange or disconnect pipelines in or out of the tank and drain the tank as completely as possible. Wash thoroughly with large quantities of water, sludge out any residues that can not be drained. Then add soda ash or lime in sufficient quantity to neutralize any residual acid. Ensure neutralization, fill the tank completely with water and drain out. Introduce a source of fresh air to ensure complete purging. Before entering the tank, ensure that no harmful gas or vapor is present. Test for present of hydrogen. Person entering the tank should wear full protective equipment and safety belt and life line. One person should always stationed outside the tank for rescue purpose, to hold the life line.

Note: - On all closed systems which are opened for hot work, section involved must be isolated as far as possible both directions.

Loading and unloading of tankers - • Whenever practicable, unloading should be accompanied by pumping. Compressed air should

not be used for unloading. • Tankers should be fitted with pressure gauge, safety valve and release valve. • If a spill or over flow should occur during transferring operation, the pump should be stopped,

valves shut off and spill cleaned up before other actions are taken. • Water in ample quantity should be available at the unloading station for immediate use. • No naked flame of any kind should ever be permitted near any to the openings of the tanker for

any purpose. • Under no circumstances should be discharge pipe be opened until all pressure in the tank has

been released.




23

Transportation by Road Tankers - - A label identifying the corrosive hazard of HL (class 8 under the United Nations Committee

of Experts on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods classification) should be prominently affixed on tankers carrying Hydrochloric Acid.

- An Emergency Information Panel containing the correct technical name, United Nations number, the Hazchem code, the name and telephone number of the emergency services, the consigner or other agency from whom expert information and advice may be obtained should be conspicuously marked on the tanker carrying hydraulic Acid at three places, e.g. on each side of the vehicle and also its rear. The Panel should be of the standard size prescribed.

- The drivers of the tankers carrying HCL must carry with them instructions in writing in the form of Transport Emergency Cards (TREM CARDS) regarding nature of hazard, personal protective equipment to be used, first-aid treatment and advice for dealing with fire, accident spillage or leakage. These instructions should be in English, Hindi and the languages of the states of dispatch, transit and destination.

- The drivers of the vehicles carrying Hydrochloric Acid should be fully trained in actions to be taken in case of transit emergencies.

• The manufacturers should establish a special cell for giving advice over telephone and specialist assistance at the incident site.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT :- Workers employed in the manufacture, handling or use of Hydrochloric Acid should wear

suitable personal protective equipment, including chemical goggles, face screens, gloves, neoprene or PVC boots and acid resistant trousers, the legs of which should fall over the boots and not be tucked into them.

To enter a tank or closed vessel in an emergency airline respirator should be worn. For normal maintenance and repair work, employees should wear gas tight clear vision rubber goggles, rubber apron, rubber gloves and gum boots.

SPILLAGE TREATMENT :- • Instruct others to keep at a safe distance, well away from the spillage area. • Wear protective acid-proof overall, gloves, suitable footwear, e.g. PVC safety boots. • Spills of concentrated acid evolve irritating toxic fumes of HCL . Therefore it is recommended

that an approved respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus be worn when tackling the spill. Ensure adequate ventilation.

• Cover the spillage with sand, solid sodium bicarbonate or a Soda ash-calcium hydroxide mixture (50-50). Work slowly and carefully, mixing the chemicals to slurry.

• Carefully scoops up the slurry and wash the neutralized mixture down the drain diluting with plenty of running water.

• Neutralization of concentrated acids produces heat. Therefore, allow approximately 2-3 minutes between all the treatment steps above.

• Do not clean the acid spillage with rags or saw dust fire may result. • In any case do not discharge acid directly to any waterway as it could cause killing of fish and

be harmful to down-stream users.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING:-




24

Training of employees in safe handling of HYDROCHLORIC Acid of great importance. All the persons engaged in handling, transporting and using Hydrochloric Acid are made aware of the potential hazards and the actions to be taken in the event of any emergency.

All employees are made familiar with the use of personal protective equipment. Some of the process operators are given instruction and training in first aid and in the use of Oxygen resuscitation apparatus.

Workers are encouraged to practice scrupulous hygiene; daily baths is supplemented by daily mouthwash, using a solution of 2% sodium bicarbonate. At the end of a shift a super fatted cream is also worked into the hands to prevent the skin from becoming dry and losing its elasticity.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION: - Workers have been received pre-employment examination are particularly directed at the

detection of chronic respiratory, gastro-intestinal or nervous diseases. A periodical thorough medical examination takes place once in two year.

DO AND DON’T FOR Hydrochloric Acid. DO :

1. Store HCL in acid proof tanks.

2. Store in a shed/ building constructed of fire/resistant material..

3. Store in cool and well-ventilated area away from organic materials, like nitrates, chlorates, metal powder.

4. Use acid resistance type electrical installation in storage area.

5. Use only minimum concentration required for the process.

6. Pump the material through sealed system to prevent all dangers of contact.

7. Wear face shields, rubber gloves, apron, boots and acid proof suit while working.

8. Use approved Respirator or self- contained breathing Apparatus while tackling spread.

XI failure of communication Communication with metrological head qtr.has broken down Precaution during the possibility of cyclone. 1.Stop the hazardious process and chemical plant . 2.Overhead cranes must park and apply all break and possible hold with the help of wire rope. 3.Come and stay at inside the RCC structure. 4. Don’t create panic and rumors. 5. contract labor of the company who are residing nearby in temporary shed must be called and give them the protection. AFTER CYCLONE OVER.

1. Inspect the all structure, machine, equipment for its correctness. 2. Check all connection of the utility services including electric. 3. Check and ensure the stability of the storage chemical if any and its joints etc. 4. Inspect the any unsafe condition and restore the normal operation of the plant.

GENERAL GUIDE LINE FOR EMERGENCY FIRST AID [A] ELECTRICAL HAZARDOUS & PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES :

The electric injuries may occur by direct current, alternative current of from lightening. The severity of the injuries by electric shocks depends upon :

1. The amount of current flowing through the body.

2. The path of current is taken through body to the earth weaker current passing through the

chest is more dangerous than a relatively stronger current passing through the lower limbs.

3. Length of time, victim is in contact.




31

4. Type of electric energy, AC or DC.

5. Physical condition of the victim.

FOLLOWING SINGS & SYMPTOMS ARE FOUND IN ELECTRIC SHOCKS

1. Sudden Spasm.

2. May be unable to release hands which hold the live points.

3. Burn.

4. Severe Pain.

5. Cries aloud and falls on the ground.

6. Unconsciousness.

7. Breathing impaired or stopped.

8. Burns leading to severe surgical shock. EXPLOSION : Explosion is mainly of following natures.

Explosion of the equipments generally occur in power transformer or oil circuit breaker.

Explosion in transformer or cable is usually due to overheating. The main cause of explosion in transformer is due to poor quality of oil. Periodically testing of oil to done to avoid explosion.

POWER CABLES : They are secured properly, and are protected from physical hazardous. All junction boxes are protected and supported. Checking of earthlings is necessary.

To avoid accidents by electricity following safety measures are adopted :

1. Damaged plug, wires and switches etc., are not used. 2. The electrical equipment with screw driver etc., are not touched unless and until the

supply is cut-off. 3. The equipment is not touched with wet hands, when supply is there. 4. Many machine at single point sources should not be connected other wise risk of fire will

be obvious. 5. Loose and hanging wires are not kept but fittings are kept proper and safe. 6. Broken plug are not used. 7. Plug top of 03 pins only for small machines are to be used, because one of the pin is

preserved for earthing. 8. Connect the lighting appliances equipment with supply through plug. Match stick for

holding the terminals, are not attached. 9. Water is not poured to extinguish fire caused by electricity, cut-off supply main switch

immediately, proper fire extinguisher used.




32

10. Before carrying out repairing of equipment, the main switch is put off or cut-off and fuses are taken out.

11. Fuse wire of proper size are be sued. 12. Many equipments in one socket are not connected avoid extra loan unit. 13. Proper care should be taken to save electrocuted. 14. Affeted person is touched after switching off or separating wire with the help of dry rope

or bamboo wooden sticks etc., provide first aid applying artificial breathing system to the affected person.

15. Rubber insulated tools and rubber, had-gloves for working during supply or in MT line, are used.

16. Where there is danger, caution board is fixed to keep yourself away from the site. 17. Always equipment of ISI marked preferred. The above precautions and practice certainly saves from the accident in factory as well as

at home .

FIRST AID IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK : ANY DELAY IN FIRST AID IN ELECTRIC SHOCK IS A DELAY FOR EVER, HENCE THE FIRST AIDER MUST NOT GET EXCITED AND MUST NOT ENDANGER HIS LIFE.

1. The current must be cut-off or the plug should be pulled-out. 2. The First Aider must not touch the victim or the live conductor. 3. If it is difficult to cut off the current, the victim has to be separated by using a dry coat

rope, stick etc. 4. If there is a dry wooden chair or rubber sheet, the first aider must stand on it and then

separator the victim. 5. If the cloths smouldering, the spark should be extinghished. 6. Artificial respiration is to bee started immediately. This may be done whenever the

victim is unconscious and pulseless. The artificial respiration should be continued till the doctor has arrived. One may like to continue for at-least 8 hours before abandoing the care as dead. When the patient start swallowing, one may understand that the spontaneous breathing is being revived. Artificial respiration should be continued till normal movement or breathing is fully established, as the respiration may fail again if left earlier.

7. A blanket should be put around the patient. The patient must be kept warm to treat the shock. He may be given warm, sweet drinks if he is conscious otherwise not, as it may harm him.

8. Superficial burns of lightening strange may be covered with a septic dressing. The deeper burns caused from contact with live conductors may be covered with clean sheet and the patient evacuated to a hospital without any further delay.

9. External cardiac message may be given if the pulse is not felt or even artificial respiration.

[B] FIRST AID IN CASE OF BURNS :

1. Act quickly. 2. Put the affected part in cold water. 3. If immersion in cold water is not possible then pour coldwater. 4. Put sterlised dressings on effected part. 5. Send for medical care immediately.
