INTRODUCTION

YOUR SAFETY – DUCAB’s CONCERN

Today during the eight hours at work , many people up and down the country will be victims of

industrial accidents. Many of these will be blinded, maimed for life or condemned to months in a

hospital bed or even killed.

There is no magic formula that will bring to an end this daily tragedy. It needs effort on behalf of

every single man in the industry.

A good starting point is to know the common causes of factory accidents. Be familiar with the

type of hazards you might encounter at any time of any day. If you are safety conscious, you will

protect yourself and those who work with you.

Remember accidents do not „happen‟ – they are caused by lack of thought, by carelessness, by

not knowing the correct working procedure, by deviating from the correct working procedure, by

not understanding the dangers involved, or even by a misplaced sense of fun. If you know how

accidents are caused, you are more likely to be able to avoid or prevent them. Injuries resulting

from accidents range from a cut finger to the loss of limb or even loss of life

Most injuries are caused by people handling goods the wrong way, falling over, bumping into

things, misusing hand tools, and being hit by falling objects.

About a third of all injuries are caused by machinery, and these are likely to be the most serious.

The majority is caused by human failing in one form or another. Whether it is negligence,

ignorance or sheer bravado, an accident can usually be traced to an act or omission on the part of

somebody. Study the following pages closely and make sure that the SOMEBODY will not by

YOU !

"Health & Safety Policy"

Health, Safety, and the Environment in which we work are important management

responsibilities, and an integral part of our business activities. In addition to legislative

compliance, our principal Health & Safety Objectives are:

to promote the occupational health, safety, & welfare of our employees

to avoid all work related accidents and

to ensure that no one suffers ill health as a result of our business activities.

Our commitment to these objectives and pursuit for continuous improvement is reflected by

incorporating Health & Safety into Business Management systems

This shall be achieved by setting annual OH&S Plan which shall cover:

Auditing, Monitoring and Reporting of Compliance & Performance

Target Setting

Ongoing Risk Assessment

Communication and Training

Supervisors and Managers will ensure that employees, contractors and visitors accept their

responsibility to co-operate with the company, and take reasonable care of the Health &

Safety of themselves, and others who may be affected by their actions or omissions at work.

The Executive Management will ensure that the necessary organisation and resources exist

to facilitate the achievement of these objectives.

active co-operation of all its employees.

Responsibility

A) Management will :

1. Provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions with the statutory obligation as a

minimum requirement.

2. Arrange appropriate training to enable employee to work safely.

3. Provide such safety equipment as required, and enforce its effective use.

4. Actively seek the co-operation of all employees through open communication.

ACCIDENT / INCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURE

Reporting of Accidents

All accidents/Injuries no matter how slight must be reported to the Supervisor immediately

following occurrence. Incidents where injury has not occurred should also be reported to

Supervisor. Reporting Forms exist for all type of incidents.

Why Report Accidents

The comprehensive reporting of accidents, including plant and equipment damage, serves to

highlight unsafe conditions and to stimulate correction. It also encourages the introduction of

preventive measures highlights the need for inclusion in future training programmes.. Statistics

based upon accident reporting will monitor the progress of the company in accident prevention.

All „near misses‟ also should be treated and reported as accidents.

Management‟s objective is to achieve „Zero‟ accidents.

Leaving The Work Area

For other than serious injuries, employee at work must report their injury to their immediate

Supervisor as soon as practicable. The clockcard security room is the central First-Aid Room,

and the SecurityMen our main First-Aides. For all injuries, Security will raise up an „Injury

Record Form‟ and forward it to Supervisor.

PLANT SAFETY – GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Doing your job efficiently and safely is a normal everyday requirement. Do not do anything or

operate any machine , vehicle or equipment unless you have been instructed or trained to do so.

You will not be asked to work unsafely.

EXITS

Please note all the Exits in the factory are for use in emergencies. Keep gangways, stairways,

doors and exits always clear and free from any hazards.

ACCESS

Never take short cuts or climb barriers and objects, always use the designated gangways and

walkways.

Only run if you are in immediate danger.

SAFETY & WARNING SIGNS

These Signs are displayed for everyone‟s benefit indicating safety equipment or cautions. It is

mandatory that all personnel follow the caution and warning signs as displayed.

Do not deface, alter or remove safety or warning signs.

VISITORS

The safety of the visitors is the responsibility of the Ducab employee (s) with whom they are

meeting. The employee is also responsible for evacuating the visitor in the event of an

emergency.

Driving inside Ducab sites is 20 km/hr.

SMOKING

Smoking is totally prohibited in the factory and the Offices.

11

HANDLING CHEMICALS

Many chemicals are used at Ducab and care is taken to handle them safely and store them in

appropriate locations. Some of these chemicals are corrosive or flammable or give off toxic

fumes. Do not handle Chemicals unless you are trained to do so.

Silane if mixed with water reacts very violently, and can be very dangerous.

Store different chemical separately to avoid accidental mixing which can be dangerous.

All chemical containers should have identification clearly marked or label firmly attached.

Where safety data is not available on the container, it should be procured from the supplier and

made available at the place of use.

Safety goggles and appropriate Respirators must be used when using chemicals.

Chemicals in bulk must be kept in the designated storage area. Only limited quantity should be

be kept at the place of work. It should be stored away from excessive heat, fire or damage.

Thinners are to be used only for inks / paint mixing and other specified jobs. Do not use thinners

for other jobs without the permission of a Supervisor.

Handle all chemical containers with care to avoid leaks and spills. In case of spills, please follow

the emergency procedures for spills.

Disposal : Chemicals should be disposed off according to the regulations and internal

procedures. Do not pour chemicals down the drain or on to the ground.

Aerosols : Any type of aerosol is dangerous in a hot environment, store them in designated

areas or as indicated on the container. All empty containers must be dumped in the Bins

provided, and not with the general waste.

12

EYE PROTECTION

Protecting the Eyes is the major concern because of the importance of sight. It can be regarded as

our major sense, and should be protected perhaps more than any other. Every effort should be

made to minimize at source any potential hazard to the eyes.

Eye protection must be worn at all times when working on wire winders, drum packing,

grinding, welding and wood cutting saw. Personal safety goggles are issued to all personnel

working on these jobs.

In addition appropriate eye protection must also be used to guard against a variety of hazards

such as impact, splashes. mists, sprays, dust, gases, hammering nails etc.

There have been notable instances when Operator‟s eyes were saved due to the wearing of safety

goggles. Remember Safety always comes First.

13

WORKING SAFELY on MACHINES

Machinery comes in a wide variety of design and operational mode. The machinery in use at

Ducab comes only from Quality Manufacturers incorporating the high international safety

standards. Therefore, when properly guarded the machinery is not dangerous.

Worldwide Accident Statistics indicate that Machinery is responsible for 16% of reportable

injury accidents in the factory processes each year. Some are very serious resulting in permanent

disability such as amputation of a limb.

In order to be safe, the following points should be borne in mind while operating machinery :

Do not operate a machine or equipment unless you are trained to do so.

Before operating a machine make sure that all safety and protective devices for the

machine are fitted properly and in good working order.

Be aware of the emergency stop buttons, the guarding and the emergency trip

arrangements. Do not tamper with safety interlocks or switches.

Ensure that everyone is clear before starting the machine.

Concentrate and always press the correct button.

If you work alone on a machine in a secluded area, ensure Supervision is aware of the

remoteness and steps are taken to encounter any emergency.

You must not clean, lubricate or measure in close proximity of the running machinery. It is

dangerous. Also rags or gloves should not be worn close to the running machine.

Watch straps, rings, beads, bracelets, loose clothing, and neck ties are likely to get caught

by moving parts in the machine. Ensure these are not worn when operating machinery.

Tie back long hair or cover it with a hood.

Horseplay or Fooling Around

Never fool around or play practical jokes. Horseplay can have dangerous consequences, you

could seriously injure yourself or someone else. Horseplay or fooling around of any kind is

regarded as a serious offence under Ducab‟s disciplinary procedures.

The misuse of machinery, equipment, tools, compressed air or any other company assets is

also a dangerous practice and a disciplinary issue.

14

HAND TOOLS

The misuse of hand tools accounts for many accidents, and most of them due to the incorrect

use of the Stanley Knives.

Use the correct tool for the job

This may sound obvious, but people can sometimes be seen using a screwdriver as a chisel, a

spanner as a hammer, or a file as a lever. Using the wrong tool may not only cause damage but

can be dangerous and incur personal injury. Records indicate that using the wrong tools has in

fact caused several accidents. In Ducab a set of hand tools is provided for all machines and

jobs. If the need arises for a special tool it can be obtained from the stores.

Use Tools which are in good condition only

Broken or worn out tools can be dangerous and should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Screwdrivers, chisels and files with split handles should never be used because of the likelihood

of splinters or the tang going into your hand. Hammer heads should be well fitting to prevent

them from flying off. Chisels with mushroomed head should be discarded because of the danger

of the chips flying off. Note : It is the responsibility of each individual to use the correct and

well maintained hand tool, and also to clean & store the tool in it‟s designated area.

Portable Electric Hand Tools

Never attempt to repair or alter electrical equipment. If electrical repair is required, inform your

Supervisor or Electrician. Ensure the insulators are in good condition prior to starting the tool.

At Ducab all portable electric equipment is protected by Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB)

or Residual Current Device (RCD).

15

STANLEY KNIVES Though not our business, stripping of insulation/sheath for preparing cable ends, sampling, set-

ups, scrap recovery, etc, is required in most of the areas in the plant, thus the use of Stanley knife

is unavoidable.

In the past there used to be a lot of accidents involving Stanley knives. Training and awareness

programs have brought these accidents to a very low level, however not totally eliminated them.

Management has taken a stance for Zero tolerance towards these accidents, thus setting the

objective of Zero Accidents.

STANLEY KNIFE HANDLING : All factory based Operators/Technicians will be practically

trained in the safe use of Stanley knife. Besides the training the following points are to be

remembered and practised always :

This instrument has a razor sharp blade and must not be left open or unattended. Stripping action must be always “AWAY from YOU”. The sharp edges of the blade

should face away from you / your other hand as it will prevent injury in case the knife

slips during the performed task. Ensure to use the knife in an open area, so that if the knife slip it does not hurt your fingers,

other persons or damages cable/equipment. Do not place the open blade knife in your pocket. Bare Stanley blades must not be used for any purpose, it must be used with the knife. Loose

blades have caused injury, equipment damage and defective product when dropped into

hoppers. Do not overwork with blunt blades. Turn the side or replace the blade very carefully when

it loses its sharpness. If the blade is very loose when fixed in the knife, then the knife is worn. Such knives should

not be used, please get them replaced. Do not use a broken knife with inadequate repair. Get it replaced. Never use the blade as a lever or screwdriver. It will snap and possibly cause injury.

16

LADDERS

Many serious accidents occur due to the incorrect use of ladders. Thus it is very important that

scaffolding or mobile towers/platforms are used while working at heights. In areas where

scaffolding cannot be erected or mobile towers cannot be brought in, then ladders can be used

with the permission of the concerned Supervisor.

Safety on Ladders

1. Portable Ladder must be used with a minimum of two persons.. Ladder must stand on a firm

level base and must be secured at the top and bottom so that they cannot move. While

working for a longer duration, safety harness should be worn.

2. No ladder or run of ladders , shall rise a vertical distance exceeding 9 meters Before

climbing, make sure the ladder is in good condition, undamaged and with no loose rungs.

3. When placed correctly, the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the bottom of the

wall should be a minimum of quarter of the height of the ladder.

E.g. 4 metre up, 1 meter out.

4. Ensure the ladder is long enough for the job. If you have to use a ladder near doors or blind

corners get additional help to keep a look out.

5. Never lean ladders against windows, conduits, pipes or any other loose/weak support,

even for a short while. It is dangerous and sure to cause accidents.

6. Do not try to descend a ladder backwards, always descend facing the rungs, with a sure .

grip while going down.

7. On completion of the job, put the ladder back in its designated place. Any damage must be

reported to the Supervisor immediately.

17

OVERHEAD CRANES

Perhaps the most commonly used piece of handling equipment is the overhead crane. In Ducab

there are four cranes, and only trained personnel are authorized to operate the Cranes, in the

designated Bays.

Due to accidents / equipment damages in the past , it is very important that the following points

are strictly followed :

Do not operate the crane without being trained.

Do not lift anything more than the safe working load (S.W.L.) of the Crane or the Beam.

Never stand directly under the lifted object.

Do not anything too high, except where it is essential, e.g. Curing tanks, M/C 1701.

Travel with load lifted only few inches above the floor.

Under any circumstances the load or the crane hook must not be allowed to swing as this

may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment, machines or cables. During training

you will be imparted with the necessary skills to control the swing and operate the crane

safely.

Do not operate the Crane if the safety catch on the Hook is not working.

The Crane should not be used if the Rope, Control cable or any part is damaged. Report the

damage immediately to the Supervisor.

Do not use the pendant control cable to correct the lifted load or the beam. Use a wooden

lever or suitable pipe.

Return slings and beams to their designated storage racks. Do not leave crane hook or the

pendant control in the pathway.

18

WELDING/GRINDING & GAS CYLINDERS SAFETY

Gases stored in cylinders under high pressure are used extensively in various parts of the

factory for burning, welding and processing. These gas cylinders are potential sources of fire

and explosion if they are not handled or stored safely.

Gas cylinders should be stored away from lifts, stairs, gangways, and in an area that is free

from fire risks and sources of heat and ignition. Cylinders, regulators and hoses should be

inspected frequently for leaks and damages. Only cylinders required for immediate use should

be issued, and return when empty to the external bulk bottle store. Empty cylinders should be

marked „Empty‟ and fitted with its protective cap.

Keep Cylinders in upright position at all times, and secure them by chains to prevent them

from falling. All Gas Cylinders should be fitted with flash back arrestors. Use gas trolleys to

transport oxygen and acetylene cylinders. When work is completed close cylinder valves and

replace cap before moving them.

Do not use oil or grease in making connection on any cylinders. It is very dangerous.

When welding, grinding, chipping, burning, handling acids and while working in locations

where there is possibility of injury to your face, suitable goggles and/or face shields must be

worn. Other safety gear must be availed as required.

While cutting, make certain that hot sparks and severed sections will not fall on employees,

cylinders, hoses, , machines or equipment. Mark „HOT‟ if any item is left unattended. If

required temporarily barricade the area until the completion of the job.

When performing this kind of work, know the location of the nearest & appropriate fire-

fighting equipment. Place hoses carefully so that they will not create tripping hazard.

Do not perform these jobs in confined or high fire risk areas.

19

MOBILE EQUIPMENT

Ducab has a number of mobile equipment such as Forklift Trucks, Electric Pallet Trucks and

the Air Mover Platform. All these equipment should be operated by trained and authorized

Operators only.

Driving Fork Lift Trucks

Ducab has a fleet of Forklift Trucks ranging from 3 to 12 tons. Only trained personnel holding

Ducab permits are authorized to drive them. Internal driving permits are valid only within the

Ducab sites and accommodation.

Besides the training the following general rules apply at all times :

Operators should always face the direction of travel.

Inside the plants the speed should be consistent (brisk walking) within the gangways.

Travel should be slow when approaching junctions, doors opening & pedestrian crossing.

Trucks must not be used to pull or push loads.

Do not lift any load more than the S.W.L of the Forklift or the limits of the Forks.

No Passengers, No Riders, No Trainees (Unless Authorized).

Always observe Ducab road signs, traffic instructions and speed limits.

Parking should be in the marked areas and Pre-Operational Checks carried out daily.

Do not operate the Truck if the brakes are not functioning.

All the above rules apply also for Electric Pallet Trucks and the Air Movers.

Battery Charging

Hydrogen gas is generated during battery recharging. This is highly explosive, and thus the

following precautions should be taken :

Battery charging should be done in an adequate highly ventilated area.

Do not try to handle battery acid.

Lift batteries only with the available Hoists.

CO2 Fire Extinguisher should be available closely.

Report scrap batteries to the electrician. Do not dump it in the yard or trrash.

Only trained and authorized persons will carry out battery charging.

20

MANUAL LIFTING & HANDLING

Top Heavy Bending occurs when people lift, push, pull or lean forwards over a work surface,

keeping their legs straight and inclining the trunk forwards. The skills of lifting are easily

mastered and, if practised regularly, can be performed as a matter of habit.

General Rules for Safe Lifting

Foot Position : Stand as close to the load as possible

Spread your feet to create a stable base

Put one foot forward & to the side of the object.

Relax Knees : Bend your knees (not fully) until contact is made

with the load.

Firm Grip : Grasp the load firmly.

If possible one hand should be below the object.

Lifting : Raise your head as you start to lift.

Keep your back straight.

Lift with your legs.

Use your leverage, momentum, balance and timing

Movement : Hold the load close to the centre of your body.

Keep your arms tucked in.

Don‟t change your grip.

Avoid twisting your body.

Don‟t block your vision.

Unloading : Be careful while setting down the load .

Repeat the lifting procedure in reverse.

Bend your knees

Be careful with fingers

Slide the load and place the Load.

Pushing and Pulling Safely

For either movement, always remember :

STAY CLOSE to the object

GET A GOOD GRIP on it.

KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT, stomach in, knees bent, and elbows in.

LEAN IN THE DIRECTION you‟re pushing or pulling

KEEP THE STRAIN OFF YOUR BACK, Let your body‟s weight & leg muscles do the work.

21

HOUSEKEEPING for SAFETY

An acceptable standard of cleanliness should be maintained at all times in the factory, offices

and sites. Good housekeeping not only clears off all the hazards but also gives a good impression

about our Company to visitors, customers, etc,.

Work areas should always be clear of waste materials and other trip hazards. Gangways,

stairways and exits should be clear of any obstacles. All tools and equipment must be returned to

their designated places after being used.

Scrap materials should be placed in their appropriate bins, so that copper, aluminum, steel, etc

can be recovered. Empty aerosol cans and other flammable tins should be placed in the bins

provided. Recyclable cans, paper, pallets, etc should be kept separate.

Oil, grease and water spillages should be cleaned off immediately. Follow procedures in the

event of major spillages.

Remember keeping your workplace tidy is part of your job, and it also applies for lunch rooms,

toilets and other areas you use

HYGIENE

Bringing & eating food items inside the plants is forbidden. Foods and drinks are totally banned

in the Lead Extruder area.

Prior to eating, hands should be cleaned with hand cleanser and soap.

Overalls, clothing soiled with lubricants, oils, etc, should not be worn. Use temporary overall and

appropriate rubber gloves for lubricant tank cleaning or similar tasks.

Tobacco chewing and spitting around is banned.

22

OFFICE SAFETY

Remember to keep floors, passages, gangways and stairs clear at all times.

Don‟t let telephone, electrical or computer cables trail across gangways where people can

easily trip over them.

Don‟t run–walk, especially while ascending the stairs. It‟s safer all around.

Where possible, switch off all office equipment immediately after use.

Make sure you fully understand your office fire procedures-where the fire exits are, how to

sound the fire alarm, where to find fire-fighting equipment and how to use it.

Don‟t try to lift heavy objects by yourself, obtain help.

Never leave drawers in filing cabinets open or pull out more than one drawer at a time.

Make sure you know who the first-aiders are and where to avail first-aid.

Always dress suitably for your work Proper footwear must be worn.

Never tamper with electrical equipment or attempt repairs yourself. Report it to the experts.

Use waste bins only for the purpose provided. Don‟t overfill them or litter.

.

COMPUTER SAFETY :

Adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen to a setting you‟re comfortable with.

Reduce the glare by adjusting the position of your screen to a suitable viewing position.

Remember to keep the screen at eye level ; with eyes 18 –28 inches away from the screen.

Posture : hold head end spine upright, sit well back in the chair, feet flat on floor or footrest

& in front of the knees, elbows close to the body and ample clearance between legs & desk.

Every 20 minutes focus on an object at least 20 feet away. Move eyes up and down.

Keep the reference material close to screen to avoid frequent head and eye movement.

Stretches : On every hour of continuos PC use get up and walk around, circle your wrists

inwards and outwards and stretch your neck by lowering your chin on the chest and rolling it

up on the shoulders.

Cleaning the screen regularly to remove dirt and dust will give you a clear image.

23

FIRE PREVENTION

Every employee‟s objective must be to prevent fires and to remove all hazards which has the

potential to cause fire. The following rules are to be strictly observed at all times :

No Smoking must be observed in the plants, offices and wherever the sign is posted.

Only trained personnel are to handle flammable and chemical liquids.

Do not use petrol, diesel, thinners or volatile liquids for cleaning.

Oil rags and flammable waste should be placed in separate container away in open space.

Fire Triangle : Three factors combine to permit combustion- Fuel, Oxygen and Heat, known

as the „Fire Triangle‟. When these occur in the correct proportion and simultaneously there is a

fire or explosion. Separation of one or more of the factors is the basic principle of fire prevention

Fire Fighting : In case of minor fire : 1. Attempt to control the fire with the fire extinguishers.

2. Draw the attention of other by shouting “Fire-Fire”

3. In the event no assistance is available, set off the nearest fire alarm.

In case of major fire : Shout “Fire-Fire” and set off the nearest fire alarm (Break Glass).

Please follow the Evacuation & Fire Procedures in all emergencies.
