Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Others: Chaired 8 HAZOP studies for clients such as

Marafiq, Saudi Arabia, DCM Shriram Ltd., Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., DSM PharmaceuticalsLtd., High Polymer Labs Ltd.

Quantitative Risk Assessment and Disaster Management PlanQuantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for 11 Cross-country Natural Gas Pipelines, 3 nospetroleum product storage terminals, 7 nos Natural Gas supply terminals at userinstallations/City Gate Stations, PNG Stations, CNG Stations, etc for clients such as CairnEnergy India Ltd., GAIL India Ltd., Focus Energy Ltd., Indraprastha Gas Ltd., HindustanPetroleum Corporation Ltd., etc.

Hazard Analysis (Hazan), Rapid Safety Audit (RSA) and Preparation of District (Off-site) Disaster Management Plans (DDMP) covering over 400 Major Accident Hazard(MAH) units in 19 districts in different states of the country. These studies typically involvesafety audit and Hazard Analysis (Hazid, Effects Modelling, Consequence Analysis basedon MCA scenarios and suggesting risk reduction measures) of facilities having inventory ofhazardous chemicals in excess of threshold quantities specified under the MSIHC Rulesnotified by the Government of India. HAZAN and RSA are followed by preparation of DDMPfor the district covering the hazards in the facility and the area. In addition to planpreparation, the projects included imparting training to representatives of district and locallevel authorities, representatives of MAH units and local community. Conducting mock drillsinvolving authorities, response agencies and local community is also an integral part of this

exercise.
