It is best way to us that we must prevent to use high toxi material. but at last we need it to use then we use with caerfully and must use personal protect equipment.
Whenever possible, it is always best to avoid using a toxic material either by eliminating its use (by changing the method or process for example) or by substituting the toxic material with a less hazardous material. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find a non-toxic substitute that still does the job effectively and safely.
When considering substitution, the first step is to obtain the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for all possible substitute materials. Find out about all of the hazards (health, fire, chemical reactivity) of these materials before making any changes. Caution must be exercised so as to avoid introducing a potentially more hazardous situation. Choose the least hazardous materials that can do the job effectively and safely. Learn how to work safely with them, too.
1. RAISE ALARM.
2. DON'T PANIC AND ENCOURAGE OTHER TO DO SAME.
3. SUPPORT PEOPLE TO EXIT THE ENVIRONMENT TO A SAVE POINT/MUSTER POINT.
4. INITIATE THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURE BY FIRST CALL THE EMERGENCY RESPONCE TEAM.
5. CONDUCT HEAD COUNT AT THE MUSTER POINT.
Every job containing a major risk , before start of the job Task risk analysis must be done . How to control the hazards and what are the risk and whom and what might be effected. Fire fighting equipment to be in place near danger zones.
An emergency escape plan and emergency rescue plan must be in place considering all the factors and frequency of mock drills to be performed depending on the level of risk .Personal Protective Equipment like breathing apparatus and toxic-meter must be carried by the personnel in the hazard zones. Safe zones and muster points to be located and marked.
Decide if an accident is to occur, who is to be called and what is the mitigation plan.
1. Remain calm, use common sense, and provide aid. Take time to think before acting.
2. Always evacuate the building immediately when you hear an audible alarm or see a visible alarm, when directed by authorities, or when the building becomes life-threatening, e.g., smelling natural gas.
3. Proceed to the emergency gathering point for further instructions.
4. Do not use the telephone for reasons other than emergency purposes.
5. Do not enter elevators during an emergency. If stuck in an elevator do not attempt to force open stalled elevator doors, use the emergency phone to contact Public Safety.
6. Keep a flashlight handy if you are in an area that does not have emergency lighting or natural lighting.
7. Know the location of all marked exits from your working area.
Dial emergency No.s to reach the emergency dispatcher who can summon medical, fire or police response. These individuals can also contact emergency personnel who are not “first res-ponders” but will oftentimes be needed to assist the first res-ponders with incident resolution.
1. If you are in a hazardous situation, don’t endanger yourself further. Avoid unstable structures, smoke, electrical hazards, fire, radiation, chemical, or biological exposure, etc. Do not risk your well being to save personal or University property.
2. When you call, give your name, telephone number and location, and the nature and location of the emergency.
3. Don’t hang up until the dispatcher ends the conversation.
4. If phone lines are dead, take the message to HSE person or use a cell phone if available and dial Police.
