2.3 Target Group
Senior and middle level officers from following target groups:
(i)Regulators
Chief Inspectorate of Factories & Boilers, State Pollution Control Boards, Directorate General, Factory Advice Service and Labour Institute (DGFASLI), Chief Controller of Explosives, Central Pollution Control Board and Ministry of Environment and Forests.
(ii) Industries
MAH units (From Public and Private Sectors) covering Refineries and Oil Sector (Public & Private), Metallurgical (ferrous and non-ferrous), Pesticides and Fertilisers, Pharmaceuticals, Paper and Pulp and other related chemical sectors industries.
(iii) Administration
State, District & Local Crisis Groups from various districts, States Industrial Development Corporations, etc.
2.4 What are the current gaps in knowledge of the target group- why this training needed?
As per the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (MS&IHC) Rules, 1989, under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, all Major Accident Hazards (MAH) industries have to prepare On-site Emergency Management Plan in accordance with the Schedule 11. MS&IHC Rules also have provisions of the preparation of Off-site Emergency Management Plan and the responsibility lies with those District Collectors under whose administrative control MAH industries are located. Off-site Emergency Plan should be as per the Schedule 12. Most of the process industries are falling under MAH category.
Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)is oneof the core components in both of the Schedules 11 and 12. In absence of the proper HIRA, it is difficult to assess the actions and requirements for response agencies along with the assembly points and escape routes. The national guidelines on chemical disaster management, under Disaster Management Act, 2005 also advocate the importance of HIRA in overall chemical disaster management.
Risk assessment and disaster management plan is also mandatory for environmental site clearance under the provisions of EIA notification. EIA clearance also envisages the risk assessment in industrial projects.
We envisage the following gaps in present knowledge and skill of the target groups:
- Proper and effective Hazard Identification
- Capabilities of assessment of Quantitative Risk for different types of Chemical Process Industries
- Right approach for selecting the type of risk reduction measures
- Residual Risk Management
- Application of Risk Management during Off-site & On-site Emergencies planning, preparedness and response
- Use and application of latest available software for HIRA.
- Integration of environment with disaster management in sitting of Industrial estates and industries
- Environmental risk assessments & post disaster effects on environment
- Assessment of environmental damage by disasters & decontamination processes
The proposed training will help in reducing the above gaps and strengthening the chemical disaster risk reduction process.
2.5Overall course objectives and expected results
I.Course Objective
To describe the broad framework of Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) in Chemical Process Industries.
To summarise the techniques for Chemical Process Risk Assessment and Management including models for consequence analysis, frequency estimation, etc.
To address the application and utilisation of HIRA in emergency response
II.Expected Results
On successful completion of the training programme, it is expected that the target groups would be able to:
Understand the regulation, terminology, techniques, applications of the of HIRA results
Communicate the risk in the benefits of social safety
Understand that how to interpret and use the results of HIRA for Effective Chemical Disaster Risk Reduction & Preparedness mechanism
Integration of HIRA in EIA process.

3.4Training Approach
The training will use both Indian and foreign case studies. Audio-visual films will also be used along with classroom lectures and presentations.
Field visit will also be arranged to understand the subject. Group exercise will be conducted to ensure the live participation of all participants.
Training will be interactive type.
3.5Training Material to be delivered
The training material shall include:
Background Training Course Material in a Folder & CD

4.0 RESULTS-USE OF RESULTS
4.1 How the training programme will be used by the participants- Indicators to measure success/impact:
The following would be the success indicators of the programme:
Better understanding of HIRA
Application of HIRA in emergency planning
Use of software for HIRA
Understand the types of information & results depicted under HIRA
Incorporation of HIRA results for site selection for MAH Industrial Units or Industrial Estates
Analyse the results of HIRA for effective management of On-site & Off-site Emergency Management
Indicators of success may also be viewed from the evaluation sheets of the training programme. It is also expected that the programme will help the participants in updating and reviewing the procedures of risk assessment in overall emergency preparedness, response and planning.
Organisation of the programme at regional level with all stake holders and discussion on local problems with suggested modes of up gradation will also be an one of the important indications of success.
4.2 What side effects the training might produce?
There will be no side effects.
