Recent Accidents at our outlets Learnings..1

• Two men died while drilling on a tank
• Learning
• Modification of tank manhole was in progress
  for the purpose of Automation. The tank had not
  been degassed. Alteration on the manhole cover
  could have been carried out at a safe place in
  the outlet itself or tank should have been
  degassed before carrying out any hot work.

• One worker while died fixing false ceiling during
  night .
• Learning
• The worker was not wearing protective
  equipments like safety belts and helmets. It is
  mandatory to wear protective equipments while
  working at heights and should be done under
  supervision.

55
Recent Accidents at our outlets Learnings..2

• One person got killed inside a tank pit during
  the progress of work.
• Learning
• The sides of the tank pit caved in bringing
  down the masonry also. It is mandatory to shore
  the sides of a tank pit during construction and
  also cut the soil at or close to its angle of
  repose.
• One person died while cleaning a tank.
• Learning
• The tank was being cleaned to make it ready
  for receiving Ethanol blended petrol. The workmen
  had got inside the tank without checking /
  ensuring that the tank had been freed of residual
  gases. It is mandatory to degas tanks which are
  to be cleaned.

56

VAPOUR RECOVERY

• There are three stages of Vapour loss
• At the unloading T/T I Stage( At loading
  points)
• Refuelling II Stage (
  Applicable to outlets)
• Tanks idling II Stage (
  Applicable to outlets)
• We have installed Stage II Vapour Recovery
  Systems (VRS) in 25 ROs.
• How it works ?? ..\EP\solanki\CVS2 - Final
  Animation.exe
• This will also improve air quality in ROs . This
  is of importance in ROs with ARB activities like
  C-Store / Food / Refreshment shops.
• Also, VRS reduces risks of occupational hazards
  and fire.

82
SOLAR PV SYSTEM

• Is a method to utilise abundantly available Solar
  (and Wind) energy.
• Through solar cells light energy of the Sun gets
  converted to Electrical energy through high
  crystalline silica cells.
• From Solar Array Power is fed into battery system
  through MPPT charge controller.
• From Battery system through PCUs DC is converted
  to AC.
• Solar power is useful in places of unreliable
  Power supply.
• Solar Power cheaper in the long run in comparison
  to generators.
• Power is available is of high quality without
  spikes, surges etc.
