Chapter 1: Multidisciplinary Nature of Environmental Studies

• Environmental studies encompass various fields and address critical issues related to natural resources, both renewable and non-renewable.
• Natural resources and associated problems, such as a) Forest resources, b) Water resources, c) Mineral resources, d) Energy resources, and e) Land resources are key focus areas.
• Understanding ecosystems, including their concept and the structure and function of ecosystems.
• Identification of environmental hazards based on air, water, soil, and radioisotopes.

 

Chapter 2: Air-Based Hazards and Fire Protection

• Air-based hazards originate from diverse sources, leading to various types of risks.
• Maintaining air circulation in industrial settings, distinguishing between sterile and non-sterile areas.
• Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) for risk assessment.
• Developing critical hazard management systems to mitigate fire-related dangers.

 

Chapter 3: Chemical-Based Hazards and ControlMeasures

• Chemical hazards stem from sources like organic synthesis, sulphonation, and organic solvents.
• Implementing control measures to mitigate chemical hazards.
• Management of combustible gases, toxic gases, and oxygen-displacing gases.
• Regulations governing chemical hazards and managing over-exposure to chemicals with the concept of TLV (Threshold Limit Value).

 

Chapter 4: Fire and Explosion Hazards

• An overview of industrial processes and their potential hazards, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, and process-related risks.
• Compliance with safety and hazard regulations.
• Fire prevention methods, types of fire extinguishers, and critical hazard management systems.
• Understanding mechanical and chemical explosions, multiphase reactions, transport effects, and global reaction rates.
• Preventive and protective measures against fires and explosions, such as passivation, ventilation, and relief systems.

 

Chapter 5: Hazard and Risk Management

• Self-protective measures for workplace hazards.
• The importance of critical training in risk management.
• The hazard management process and the application of ICH (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use) guidelines on risk assessment.
• Various methods and tools for risk management.
• An overview of the Factory Act and associated rules, accident prevention fundamentals, elements of safety programs, safety management, physicochemical measurements of effluents, and effluent treatment procedures.
• The role of emergency services in managing environmental risks.
