Addressing Health, Safety & Environment Concerns at Inox India





Every year, 4th of March is observed as National Safety Day in India to create more awareness about Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) in all spheres of life, especially industrial workplaces. The motive of National Safety Day is to minimize the occurrences of mishaps and accidents resulting due to lack of awareness. It promotes individual developmental activities required for self-compliance and SHE management systems at workplaces.

Health, Safety & Environment at Inox India 

At Inox India, where our personnel are directly involved with Liquid Storage Tanks, Cryogenic Tanks, Oil Field Equipment and other cryogenic vessels, we ensure that all health, safety and environmental compliances are duly met. There are emergency evacuation plans defined for every building. According to industrial norms, walking and working surfaces are identified with clear and prominent markings.
Slips and falls are one of the main reasons for accidental deaths. To avoid such accidents, we have ensured that passageways, service rooms, and storerooms are kept clean and well-maintained. The working spaces are made free of holes, loose boards, nails, and splinters.
Cryogenic tanks, as well as other liquid storage tanks, demand specific handling procedures and our personnel are well-trained to adhere to stringent guidelines. Protective gears for head, face, skin and hands are a must as per norms.
Some of the practices followed at Inox India regarding HSE.

General Safety
o   Safety posters displayed in a prominent location
o   Properly stocked first-aid kit
o   Clean and obstacle-free work areas
o   Sanitized toilets and wash areas
o   Properly illuminated work areas
o   Safety logs maintained and updated regularly
o   Fire suppression systems are properly placed
o   Emergency exits are marked and made accessible
o   Slip-resistant surfaces wherever needed
o   Proper labelling on equipment
o   Emergency buttons are clearly marked

Individual Safety
o   Protective eyewear and hardhats 
o   Equipment inspection and maintenance on a regular basis
o   Earplugs for noisy equipment
o   Adequate protection in hazardous areas
o   Authorized and trained personnel for operating equipment

For Environment
When it comes to the environment, we believe that the responsibility goes beyond compliances and regulatory procedures. Environment conservation is stressed upon and this is reflected in supporting renewable energy power generation practice.
A safe, clean and environment-friendly workplace is every individual’s right and at Inox India, we make sure we comply with all the HSE needs. To know more about our HSE policies, click here.

WHAT IS A VAPORIZER? HOW DOES IT WORK? – MUST READ!

Image
Vaporizers are responsible for vaporizing liquefied natural gas and other working fluids. It functions in a similar way like industrial boilers. Vaporizers are used for fluids such as ethane, ethylene, and nitrogen. It also allows heat from a liquid or a gas to pass to a second fluid. The two fluids do not come into direct contact with each other. Vaporizers generally work to heat or cool buildings or help engines and machines to work more efficiently. They do not build up higher pressure and are commonly used for low-pressure heat transfer. Key benefits of using a  cryogenic vaporizer : Using a  cryogenic vaporizer  can provide an array of different benefits. It eradicates the re-condensation of vapor in the supply lines which may create perilous situations. Moreover, it eliminates the ‘freeze-ups’ of tanks which results in production delays or loss. Even heavy end accumulations can be prevented. It helps to decrease overall costs and even delivery frequency. Besides,

Understanding Ambient Air Vaporizer Made Easier Now

Image
Ambient air vaporizer is used to vaporize Nitrogen, Oxygen, LNG and other cryogenic liquids at extremely low temperature. The frost formation occurs because of a huge temperature difference between ambient air and cryogenic fluid. Uncomplicated heat exchanges are used to vaporize liquefied gas by making use of heat absorbed from ambient air. Due to the simplification with which the process is carried out, these vaporizers don’t need external power; they use ambient air as the source of energy. Ambient vaporizers are used in a wide range of application throughout the industry. They are vertically oriented heat exchanges. Notably, vaporizer’s vertical orientation creates natural downdraft because of warmer air which is lighter than the cold dense air. Designing of Ambient Air Vaporizer is created after considering many factors including the environmental effect which is a prominent criterion. While designing fan-assisted and natural draft vaporizers, basic climate zones are

HANDLING LIQUID NITROGEN: STORING IT SAFELY IN A LIQUID NITROGEN CONTAINER

Image
Nitrogen can be stored in both gaseous & liquid form. Liquid nitrogen is extremely low in temperature and direct contact can burn the skin. It is necessary to ensure that safety precautions are undertaken to avoid damages to the surroundings & the people working with it. Ensuring safety with liquid cylinders Liquid nitrogen must be stored in a liquid nitrogen container which has proper insulation & vacuum to handle the liquid. They are completely safe  micro cylinders  for transporting liquid nitrogen conveniently from one place to another. The liquid cylinders can resist heavy impact & are designed to combat high-temperature conditions. To monitor the pressure, safety valves are integrated with the liquid cylinders that can be controlled easily. Relief valves & regulators are also installed to monitor the conditions inside the container. Safety measures while handling liquid & micro cylinders Even though nitrogen is harmful in nat
