When he took the stage on that morning of August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. did not know that he was going to change the face of American society with his single sentence, “I have a dream”. In what is regarded as one of the greatest speeches ever delivered, one man with a vision integrated an entire nation into his thought process. And following his example, America rose to the cause.

That's the power that a vision carries. To transform a thought into a movement. A dream into reality.

When we dream, we trust our intuition to lead us ultimately to the best version of ourselves. Though a lot has been written on the co-relation between a dream and a vision, the fact remains that vision, perhaps the nearest thing to a dream translated, is also necessary to make life purposeful. A dream gives us belief, hope. It tells us we can be better, more engaged, happier. A vision gets us going, sets us on the path.

One must always have a path. Even the loftiest pursuits become meaningless when there is no clarity of direction. Negotiating tackles, a footballer must necessarily know where his teammates are, and where they can be, before he makes that defence-splitting pass. Lionel Messi will aver to that. And nearer home, we must read the markets, trends and project lights, when deciding to pursue opportunities that involve investment and resources.

And that is what is required from a vision.

For centuries mankind has tried, consciously or otherwise, to translate the sub-conscious (dreams) into the concrete. The process brings with it pitfalls, setbacks, fears, misgivings and doubts. Yet it is amidst these hurdles, that the vision is formed, strengthened, reinforced. Doubt becomes self-belief. Setbacks, opportunities. Fears metamorphose into confidence. Misgivings turn to trust and faith, especially in one's own capabilities. And the dream gets one step closer to reality.

In this issue, as we explore the theme “Dreams to Reality”, our colleagues share with us their stories on the job, and off it. Read about their dreams and visions, and how and what they have done to accomplish them. We hope that you enjoy this issue. We hope too that it finds you reinstating your faith in your own dreams. And enjoying the reality that ensues as a result!

Helping Customers realise their DreamsThe Commissioning of a Chemical Plant or Project resulting into final flow of the product is the culmination of a dream for the Customer. But it is also the end of a long journey for the Consultant, who played an integral part in making this dream a reality….

The decision to build a chemical plant or embark on a chemical project, is not an easy one. Financing aside, there are several moot factors involved such as selection and acquisition of land, development of the infrastructure, feasibility studies, Return on Investment, risks involved, markets for products, handling of by-products, health and safety considerations, environmental and other clearances, selection of the appropriate technology licensor, appointment of a competent engineering consultant to implement the project, mode of implementation etc.

It is therefore not surprising that despite the world being in increasing need of chemicals, the number of entrepreneurs entering the chemical industry would be small compared to those in other industries.

Those who do, either have previous experience in the field, a chemical engineering background, or a team

familiar or equipped to understand the nuances of the industry, and the project and product involved.

The Dream

Perhaps dream is a bit of a misnomer to use in the case of a Customer desirous of building a chemical plant. Various other nomenclatures are often used, and seem to fit in perfectly. Project plans, expansion plans, new upcoming projects are often words used in chemical industry circles.

Nonetheless, the complexity of all projects is such, that more often than not, the Customer is unable to bring his dream or plan to fulfilment without the active support of a competent engineering Consultant.

The engineering Consultant therefore plays an extremely significant part in realising the dream, and is often called the project partner.

Delivering the Dream

Stage ­ 1

Depending on the nature of his organisation, the chemical manufacturer makes known his intention of setting up a chemical project. A Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is wont to issue a public tender or notice, declaring its intention of setting up the project and inviting bids from prospective Consultants with the right qualifications. A Consultant who is not registered with the PSU is called to 'pre-qualify' with the organisation.

The situation is often different in the case of a chemical manufacturer in the private sector. More often than not, the information about an upcoming project is gleaned through the communication lines and relationships that the engineering Consultant has with the Customer. Another source of information with regard to imminent projects is industry journals, where Customers tend to announce their plans for grassroots projects, revamps, technology upgradations and capacity enhancements.

For the project Consultant, this early stage is very important. He has to strategize his approach when presenting his credentials and experience. Wrongly or inadequately representing himself can result in him not getting pre-qualified / disqualified.

Project Consultants therefore follow established procedures of carefully evaluating Tenders and Invitation to Bid Documents (ITB), and conducting their Pursue-No-Pursue and Bid-No-Bid evaluations. Not taking these precautions can result in exiting early from

6 Feature we Up-to-date 6/2016

Feature

the opportunity landscape, and losing what could be a lucrative business opportunity. It could also mean a waste of organizational resources and efforts on what may be an unrealistic or unviable opportunity.

Stage ­ 2

Some Customers take the help of external Consultants in conducting a Feasibility Study prior to embarking on the project in order as to facilitate their decision to invest in the project. The role of the Consultant in helping the Customer achieve his dream, actually begins here. Feasibility Reports cover many aspects including assessment of the infrastructure available and required, economics of the project, capex, opex, Return on Investment, evaluation of various technologies, market for the product, financing possibilities and their evaluation, by-product usage, environmental and other clearances that will be necessary, recommendations as to the mode of execution if the project goes through etc. When the Report includes first rate evaluations from Bankers with regard to the project economics, the Report is sometimes referred to as a Bankable Feasibility Report.

The Bankable Feasibility Report also serves to establish in the Customer's mind, the technical prowess and capabilities of the Consultant of setting up the project, should the Customer find it viable.

Stage ­ 3

Most Customers have internal experts who draw up a project plan based on the Report, and present it to their Management for approval. This would

also include a plan for financing, using various methodologies including own funds and external borrowings. If the project plan meets the approval of the Customer's Management, the next stage would be financial closure, and in the case of limited companies, approval by the Board and the Shareholders.

Stage ­ 4

The Customer takes a tangible step towards realisation of his dream, with the decision to embark on the project. Armed with a Bankable Report, a Consultant who has proven his worth, and a clear picture as to the path the project should take, the Customer will take the next step of issuing the Invitation to Bid (ITB).Many acts of the Consultant at this or just prior to this stage, serve to influence the Customer's thinking, and reinforce the Customer's confidence in him. These can include presentations by technology experts, visits to reference plants, and in some cases, even the setting up of test facilities or pilot plants.

When the Consultant has decided to bid for the project, he will aim to deliver the optimum technical and priced offers, that will ensure the job is awarded in his favour. The offer is the culmination of a lengthy process of evaluating the opportunity and winning the Customer's trust and confidence. It will aim to convince the Customer that the Consultant can offer the best resources, technology, project execution philosophy, production parameters, technical recommendations, cost proposals and time schedules.

Stage ­ 5

The award of the contract to a Consultant

following rounds of clarifications and negotiations, demonstrates the firm commitment of the Customer to realising his dream with the Consultant as project partner. From this stage, until the project is mechanically completed and commissioned, the Consultant assumes responsibility for the project, within the specific provisions of the contract.

As construction work begins in right earnest, the dream starts to take on a more concrete shape, growing day by day, until the plant is finally commissioned and handed over to the Customer.

However the role of the Consultant in helping deliver the dream, continues with training of operating personnel, and after-sales service on the project.

The Returning Dream

Satisfied Customers remember the role played by Consultants in delivering their dream project. The experiences of satisfactorily-conducted meetings, be they kick-off, freeze-in, review or handover meetings, negotiations, change requests, issues responded to and resolved promptly and the like, invariably get firmly embedded in the sub-conscious, and along with the lasting testimony of the well-executed plant, ensure there is Consultant recall.

This results in Customers returning to the Consultant for handling their new or expansion projects - and the establishment of a relationship founded on trust, good performance and delivery.

RY Katre, ES Anilkumar, Leroy Santos ­ Sales

The Consultant has a tremendous role to play with regard to realizing the dream of the Customer. Take the case of chemical reactions involved in the processes. Most chemical reactions produce by-products or co-products, which have to be dealt with suitably. Some of these, like NO and N O are undesirable and need elimination; others like Hydrogen or Chlorine in the x 2

Electrolysis process, or acetone which is a co-product of the phenol manufacturing process, are value-adders. Some of the co-products or by-products produced in chemical reactions can be used directly. Others like Hydochloric Acid produced in the Electrolysis process for example, can be further treated to recover Chlorine.

The Consultant's ability to offer the Customer his extensive knowledge of these processes and ways and means to utilise these co or by-products, helps to not only enrich the Customer's dream, but also helps to distinguish him in the eyes of the Customer.In the event that the Consultant has his own portfolio of technologies, he will be in a better position to project the benefits of these technologies over competing technologies.

The same is the case if the Consultant can call on a network of subsidiaries and specialist sister companies, offering the benefit of group synergies to the Customer, so the latter can benefit from economies of scale and cross-organisation experience.

need to pay attention to. 'We are so fascinated by running for materialistic benefits that we forget peace of mind - the motto of a life well-lived. I have the feeling that this trip will be instrumental in changing the way I look at the world.'

Komal's dream is in the phase of transition. Her one-time abstract thoughts have been translated into a concrete plan; now all that remains is its execution.

And to her we wish a happy journey coupled with a tick mark, a check on her bucket list.

Eds : An update. Komal kept her tryst with the Leh Ladakh region. Her hard work paid off. The trip turned out every bit as exciting as she had planned. Her dream has come true!

In TransitHaving done everything to make it a reality,Komal Shah of Instrumentation can't wait for her dream visit to the Leh Ladakh region to come true…

Calm in the head but a rebel at heart, Komal Shah of Instrumentation only does what she feels is right. The timing too has to be correct, else she will drop the idea like a hot potato, or put it on the back burner. It was in her engineering years that she had seen the film 3 Idiots, which included some of the most spectacular landscapes she had ever witnessed. Komal vowed to visit Leh Ladakh, India's paradise in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Today, this dream is about to become a reality for her!

‘It was almost like a calling', she says, 'a pull that I could not neglect.' She browsed through a lot of pictures, read multiple blogs and along with her colleagues, charted a 10-day itinerary covering all the major locations and spots through the formidable way. 'I thought to myself – I just have to go there. It is the clear blue of the sky, the infiniteness, the existence of something so difficult for an artist to capture in words or pictures - such is the beauty of the place.’

When asked how she feels about the onset of the completion of her dream, she says, 'I have always wished to travel and explore new places. Since long vacations are not always feasible, I keep on trying new places in and around Mumbai to eat and chill. And every time, I cross them off my list, there is a sense of euphoria.'

Komal gives us another take – one we all

A Good LifeStaying true to himself is the dream that Chintamani Pandit lives out daily…

There is something poetic about him. Intense and reflective too.Talking to him, one realises that Mr Chintamani Pandit, Chief Manager – Rotating Equipment, does not associate material achievements

with dreams. 'As human beings we are on a plane much higher than positions or designations,' he says. 'It is what we have done or how we have behaved, that makes us what we are.’

‘My dream and aim have been to be a good human being. But I consider myself a work-in-progress. I try to build up qualities in myself that will keep me on that path, without compromising on my self-respect,’ he says, with lit-up eyes and a voice deep and brimming with confidence. 'I am loyal to my work. I feel loyalty to a task is the most important virtue that defines a man. If you can't stay true to your work, you don't deserve to be in the place where you are.'

'I know that I have been true to whatever I have done and I haven't heard anyone saying that I have been disloyal. I consider this a compliment, and a sure sign that I am on the right path. And I would continue to do so. I am not there yet, but I am on my way.'

It's obvious that for Chintamani, dreams must open up avenues of imagination, and therefore must be channelized to better oneself and the world we live in. They aren't something that you think up, accomplish and then relax and set aside. What it does to your internal self is what is important. The journey is as important as the results. It's not always about the tangible, not always about something that can be counted or photographed and displayed as proof. It's not about the number of cars or the brands that you have wanted to buy.

The poet Hafez says that when all your desires are distilled, only love and happiness remains. And that, for Chintamani is what dreams are all about. Following those values long forgotten. Being true to oneself and one's commitment. Excelling as a human being, first and last. Getting and staying on the path of leading a good life.

Now if only more of us took a leaf out of his book!

Three Friends, One DreamTrue social work can be hard. Especially when done selflessly, with passion and alongside your main profession. Ask Shridhar Lokanathan, our Graduate Engineer Trainee in Instrumentation, who cherished the dream of helping underprivileged children, till his friends and he turned the dream into reality…

Dreams

An evening after college. Three college friends. On their minds, a mission to educate the underprivileged children of India. A vision as far as the horizon at the time. And the defining moment of weCHANGE, an NGO founded and run by Mr. Shridhar Lokanathan, Graduate Engineer Trainee from Instrumentation. A strong believer of the Sanskrit adage, Vidya Danam, Shresta Danam, he has made it his personal mission to reach the children of the underprivileged sections of society who are deprived of basic education.

Says Sridhar "We started our journey by adopting a school in Thane. Since then, for the past 15 months, we have been going to Navjeevan Prathamik Vidyalaya, Thane every week, imparting primary education and building up infrastructure for the school. We are constantly in

search of innovative ways to inculcate a liking for education amongst these children. We try and make it interactive, giving equal importance to sports, arts and value education along with basic education.”

Hurdles

Shridar and his team did not have it so easy. There were a number of hardships they had to face. He narrates an incident: "The children who frequent the school are generally from the slum areas. Finding their attendance sporadic, our volunteers visited their homes to convince their parents to send the children to school, rather than sending them to work or beg. There have been occasions when the volunteers were attacked by the agitated parents, without paying heed to their plea."

Solutions

The group that had begun with three friends and has now expanded to a size of eighty, is all charged up about what they do. None more so than Shridar. When asked about his motivation to enter social work, Shridhar says, "It's what I have always felt. A responsibility that I must give back to society. These children are our future. I was disheartened to hear that they nurture dreams of taking up work involving sweeping the floor and washing utensils, and working as maids. There is scope for a radical shift in their thought process, and I sincerely thought that I could be instrumental in driving this change."

The group is not limiting itself to education. When they are not teaching, they immerse themselves in other social activities. In the recent past, weCHANGE has collaborated with Bhumi, another well-established NGO, to run a tree plantation drive in Borivali in societies with a dearth of trees. At the Shantidaan Ashram, they organised a one-day event for the physically and the mentally-challenged children. Recently they

celebrated a "Joy of Giving" day at the Aashadaan Ashram in Byculla where physically-challenged orphans were given gifts on their wish list. On the occasion of World Cancer Day, they organised a Walk for Cancer from Azad Maidan to Gateway of India in collaboration with Medigene, a group of doctors.

They are also involving themselves in collecting funds. Take the case of the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund, where they ensured that the money collected was sent to the External Affairs Ministry of Nepal directly, without any mediator. The group launched a major collection drive for the Chennai Relief Fund, collecting a whopping amount of Rs. 3 lakhs within a week's time. "There was a man from Dubai who had called to enquire about the collection drive," reminisces Shridhar. "I honestly told him that we were not a registered NGO, but I assured him that all the money would go for the relief operations. When he heard about weCHANGE, he transferred a huge amount of Rs.1 lakh within fifteen minutes. Something I'll always remember."

His day of reckoning? "It was the day we got rid of the minor glitch and registered ourselves as a social organisation with the Assistant Registrar of Societies, Greater Bombay Region. I was happy that I could claim that I have an NGO with a strong team with a vision for the bright future of India. That was the day when my dream was transformed into reality.”

Epiphany

An open hall. World Cancer Day. 800 people wearing tee shirts with weCHANGE emblazoned on them. Three college friends, holding hands. Teary- eyed and overjoyed, but sights set firmly on their next dream.

The properties of water are such that, no matter what, it will inevitably find its own level and make its path, even around seemingly unsurmountable obstacles. Something similar applies to our Swati Joshi of Instrumentation. Inspired by the work of the Magsaysay award winner Baba Amte, his son Dr Prakash Amte and Sindhutai Sapkal who is also fondly called the Mother of the Orphans, she has always nurtured a desire to follow in their footsteps. Inclined to pursue a degree in Social Services, she was stopped short by her lack of knowledge and awareness. But that did not keep her from

embarking upon what she has always dreamt of - to help orphan children.

Her first obstacle was finding a route to channelize her motivation to help these children. An opportunity presented itself when it occurred to her that one of our graduate engineer trainees Shridhar Lokanathan headed an NGO involved in various social activities. Without much ado, Swati enrolled herself to support their endeavours. She realised the next obstacle would be the time she could allocate to this. 'It is a tightrope act to balance work, family and social work, but I think it's a struggle every woman faces. I am aware that my efforts are minimal today but I am on my way to contribute in whatever way I can. I don't want to stop now for any reason. Because if you have to do something, you will always find a way to do it.'

Regarding her work for the orphan children, she says, "These children are moulds. Proper guidance must be given to them at this age. If I am able to shape one child, help him grow, impart values of being a good human being, then I would be satisfied that my life has been fruitful.'

Swati's lesson is clear as day : If you have a dream, do something about it. Keep the flame burning in your mind. Don't give up. You will find direction someday. And you will go the distance in seeing those dreams turn into reality.

Giving time : Swati Joshi with the children.

I Did it All !Vivek Mam of Procurement & Estimation tells us how he realised hisdream of touring America (and taking in his first live punk rock band)!

There is a fearlessness about him, that could come from his age. But even the slightest doubt as to whether there is a steady head on his broad shoulders,

quickly evaporates, when he starts to speak. For if anything, Vivek Mam, Assistant Manager – PROC & EST, is everything a young man of today is, and then some!

One of his more serious pursuits is travelling. Says Vivek : ‘Even as a teenager, I had this rebellious streak of hopping onto my bike and riding off on a random road trip. I have travelled extensively, all the way to Udaipur, Goa and Bangalore apart from numerous destinations within Maharashtra by road. But my first foreign vacation came soon after I tied the knot with my wife of 5 years, Varsha. The year was 2011, and

we visited Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau and China. But the one destination that I always yearned for, seemed a distant dream – the Big Apple, the US of A!

Having grown up in the 90’s, Vivek’s only exposure to things Western was his close cousins’ audio cassettes featuring famous pop and rock musicians. Cable TV brought with it American sports and music which shaped Vivek’s language and lifestyle. Growing up in college added an extra dimension as he was a drummer in his very own punk rock band.

With his ‘musician’ cousin now firmly entrenched in a research position in UCLA, Vivek’s ‘ties’ with America grew. The same cousin who introduced him to ‘Americana’ was now extending Vivek and Varsha an

invitation to stay at her place. The dream of touring America was about to take shape.

‘I left the planning and the fine details to Varsha to put together. We have many interests in common, and wanderlust is one of them. I was sure she would take care of every fine detail.’

When they landed in USA, Vivek and Varsha realised all the planning was worth it. With his cousin’s place serving as base camp, our young couple struck out, driving along the entire Californian Coast from San Diego to San Francisco via the Big Sur, crossing state borders into Nevada, Arizona and Utah, and logging some 6,000 miles in 29 days. The wild west locations like Death Valley and Zion National Park held more attraction for them than the “Statues” and “Houses”, which proliferate in the cities. They drove along the Historic Highway 66 - the first highway of America, jumped from an airplane at 18,000 feet (getting an obvious “high”), stomached a helicopter ride over the enormous ravines of the

my dream of studying at IIT. Plan B mandated that I join a world-class consultancy.

It was not easy for me in a typical Indian scenario to restart academics after marriage and the birth of our son, but there was a firm belief in my mind that life begins, where a comfort zone ends. I was driven by a desire to surpass my expectations and conquer my fears – getting through the rigorous interview at IIT, Mumbai - where you are tested not only for your technical knowledge, but also for your passion to achieve the desired dream, and getting over my suspected Achilles heel – low grades in course work, which would mean an early and unceremonious exit from the course. When I put Plan A into action, my wife and I were blessed with a son – and I had

to return to my hometown Pune. Some part of me welcomed this – the relief of returning to my native place. Moreover, I could now implement Plan B. I could join the consultancy of my choice – tkIS India (then UIPL), where I was soon assigned the responsibility of Lead Engineer for the Supreme Petrochemical Project, while simultaneously working on the Finolex, PVC Expansion project, followed by many more landmark projects.

Plan B came with its difficulties – tight project schedules during the working week, followed by a weekend tryst with my guide at IIT!

Finally, it was time for my defence. When it was over, a hand patted me on the back. I turned round to see the appreciative smile of my guide. I had made it! There were tears in my eyes. It had been seven long years that I had lived the dream; no festive occasions, no real quality family time and no personal time. Now my dream had become a reality, and I had my doctorate and employment in my dream company.Looking back at my dream that came true, I can only introspect and say. ”What helped me was my ability to say YES to the '1' calling, and more importantly, the discipline to say NO to the other ‘99'."

Yes, I dreamt of studying in the best university of India. Yes, I dreamt of pursuing the highest education in the land - the IIT, and yes, I dreamt of being recognized as one of the best consultants with up-to-date knowledge in my chosen field! I had 2 plans. My Plan A involved

Reality CheckIt's not the end of the world when those dreams don’t turn into reality, says Smita Gambhir, our Manager – Commercial from PO. For life can still be so colorful, vibrant and exciting…

I find it perfectly fine to have dreams, and I respect both those that do and those who strive to turn their dreams to realty. But for me, the very word dreams conjures up visions of 'rags to riches stories', which is not where most of us start out from. Certainly, I don't. Most of us come from a state of 'enough-ness' and have plenty going for ourselves, without dreaming about something big and gigantic.

Dreams certainly promise me sparkling things that make the little muscle under my eye twitch a little more crazily, than it usually does. Mind you I am not advocating putting aside or degrading ambition, but dreams take the focus away from where I am presently; from what is beautiful and spectacular in my life now.

It's not game over for me when my goals and targets, dreams if you wish, don't come good. Nor is it kaput when I experience big or small disasters; like spilling hot coffee over my new dress, or losing my wallet with all my credit cards and banking information, or my doctor reading my medical scans and declaring

that I am required to undergo a surgery for a life-threatening disease.

Nor will it be over for all of us, who when dreaming the impossible dream, fall short or don't succeed. For when all else has failed, there's no forgetting that we have ourselves. And that counts!

When I asked a friend who had called me up how he was doing, he complained about his horrible boss and how the trains were always late and I remember thinking to myself: “I wish I had a horrible boss and late trains to complain about! It would make me feel SO part of life, so normal. So, it's all about perspective, you see! Perhaps it's because of the way I am wired. I don't know. What I do know is, it's the way I want to be. Dreams can wait; I have reality already!

A truly massive worldwide Step Count campaign saw the thyssenkrupp family clocking an impressive count of 477,354,698 steps (which in terms of distance is equivalent to 8.35 times the circumference of our earth)! At tkIS India the excitement was palpable, with 500+ colleagues actively participating in the Step Count.

In line with the increasing concerns of musculo-skeletal disorders, the theme for this year's Poster competition was 'Ergonomics-Solutions for a Healthy Workplace'. It was heartening to see the creative and interesting posters turned in by our talented colleagues and their spouses and children.

The response to our 'Fit 15' programmes has been really good! And our “Eye Yoga” workshops are being well attended.

We are also happy to share that the TUV India Recertification Audit for the Environment Management System standard ISO 14001:2004 was conducted successfully without any non-conformance and the certification shall be continued. The Auditors were particularly happy about our Waste to Compost (WTC) initiative which is a positive step to help our overburdened eco-system. We trust you will enjoy this edition of the CARE pages and we look forward to your active participation through articles, cartoons et al, not to forget your responses to the Crossword Competition!

From The Editor's Desk..WE all dream of a beautiful life in a beautiful world! The mere thought conjures up visions of clear blue skies, sparkling rushing rivers and a lush verdant earth. How wonderful to live in such a world with the added blessings of health and safety! Well, we at tkIS India have been taking a lot of steps towards turning these dreams to reality!

In cities like Mumbai & Pune, Road Safety is an ever-growing concern given the multi-fold increase in the number of vehicles. To heighten awareness about this menace and address it in our own small way, we ran a 'safe driving campaign' as a part of the Road Safety Week which was celebrated nationally from Jan 11 to 17 2016. We will continue to work on this theme. Plans are already afoot to do more on this issue of road safety.

We moved the World

We celebrated the World Day for Safety & thHealth at Work – 28 April 2016 with

great gusto! The day started with an inspiring speech by our MD Mr. P.D. Samudra. Looking at the worldwide trend of increasing musculo-skeletal disorders, he said that it is imperative not only to have the optimal set of working conditions, but also to ensure, through our own efforts, that we follow established practices, which will minimise stress for ourselves! We can do this through a proper working posture, stretching exercises and other such measures at work, whenever possible. In short, ensuring proper Human Engineering …that is the heart of ERGONOMICS!

The '6 Steps for your Health' flyer was distributed to all employees as part of thyssenkrupp's WE Care initiative. The top management reiterated their commitment to Safety and Health by leading the Safety Walks through our offices. A few days earlier, our employees had received their personal pedometers; now they were all set to walk their way to good health. From tkIS India more than 500 colleagues over 30 different teams recorded their steps through the day, from morning walks to lunch time strolls to aerobics and jogging in the evening. There were a host of activities. As Team Leaders distributed 'walking tips', many colleagues were seen practising, pedometers at the ready! Then came the big day!

Even as teams recorded their progress, others pored over the ‘WE Care’ intranet pages to know which country was

trending in the tk World with the Step Challenge.

The extent to which this has trend has caught on is evident from this statement of a colleague : 'The lovely blue and white pedometers caught the fancy of my teenage daughter and now she loves to tell me every evening as to how close she is to the 10,000 steps a day target she has set for herself!' And this sentiment is echoing from many hearts, which means that once again we have been successful in motivating our colleagues and our extended families to take positive steps towards Health and Safety!

Another positive was increased camaraderie, with many colleagues ditching their desk phones and opting to walk over to their colleagues to interact.

Bhagwat Phad from PO ­ PI added another dimension. "Everybody in our team had already decided not to use any transportation to commute to office which is about 15 km. away. We saw many wonderful things which often go unnoticed when we commute by car. Certainly, each of us is now committed to walk to/from office at least once in a month."

The Step Challenge, Poster Competition &Aerobic Session were met with enthusiastic

responses from our colleagues.

Going Green… Composting Initiative We are happy to share that the awareness drives about food wastage at our cafetarias are bearing fruit. The banners announcing the previous day's plate food wastage in kilos, are spurring colleagues to really watch their portion sizes and leftovers. But we are still looking at a daily collective food wastage at Uhde House and iThink cafeterias to the tune of 15 to 20 kg! This includes leftover meals, fruit and vegetable peels, fast food etc. Also there is a lot of garden waste in the form of leaves. So it made sense to think of recycling this waste, thereby protecting the environment and also reducing the Government's load with respect to garbage disposal.

So in line with our 'Green Initiatives, we have decided to go ahead with an advanced WTC – Waste to Compost machine, which converts any kind of Organic Waste into Compost within 20 hours.

CARE.... towards HSE Excellence! 216/2016 we Up-to-date

The salient features of the WTC machine are :

• Composting process is totally natural & biological.

• Machine is fully automated. It decomposes all kind of Organic Waste into Compost within 20 hours.

• The entire process is noiseless and odourless.

• 85 to 90 % volume reduction of waste is achieved. At the same time, micro organisms turn the Waste into Compost.

• Machine is to be fed with segregated waste. In case plastic bags or paper are inadvertently introduced, they are easily removable, as they emerge from the machine without any processing.

• Output is in the form of Dry Powder Organic “Compost”, readily usable as manure for gardening.

We hope to encourage our colleagues into cultivating green spots in their own houses with this manure which gets generated!!!

SIL Classification MethodologiesFor the safe operation of a Chemical Plant, there are various protection layers provided such as Basic Process Control System (BPCS), critical alarms and human intervention, Safety Instrumented functions (SIF), physical protection and emergency response. All these layers mitigate the frequency of occurrence of potential unwanted hazards or mitigate the impact such a hazard may cause.

Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is a measure of availability of a safety instrumented function and indicates its tolerable failure rate. The SIL number is based on the amount of risk reduction required to maintain acceptable rate of failure. SIL 4 has the highest level of safety whereas SIL1 has the lowest.

There are various tools available to determine SIL of a SIF. The most commonly used are Risk Matrix and LOPA (Layers of Protection Analysis).

In this issue, the first of a two-part series, we explore LOPA.

LOPA (Layers of Protection Analysis)

LOPA is a semi-quantitative method and is more rigorous, as it takes into consideration all the Independent Protection Layers (IPL) provided. The onion is often used as an illustration of protection layers in LOPA.

The following are the steps for LOPA:

• It starts with identifying initiating causes from Hazop worksheets. It is beneficial to identify the root cause to get accurate calculation results.

• For each initiating cause, impacting event (consequence) is identified from Hazop report.

• Initiating cause frequencies are determined. Typical values are available in CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety) handbook.

• Each IPL is identified, and if the IPL criteria, as specified in IEC 61511, is met, the PFD for each IPL is added. PFD values for IPLs are available in CCPS / OREDA (The Offshore and Onshore Reliability Data handbook).

• The product of total PFD (considering all IPLs) and frequency gives intermediate (hazardous) event likelihood. Total intermediate event likelihood is calculated by considering each of the causes for the said consequence.• The total intermediate event likelihood is then compared with the target Mitigated Event Likelihood. The target Mitigated Event Likelihood is corporate or country-specific. It depends on the policy of the organization or the country as to how many times

a hazardous event will be tolerated over a given number of years, depending on the event's severity.

• The ratio of Intermediate Event Likelihood divided by Mitigated Event Likelihood gives the required risk reduction factor (or 1/PFD) of the Safety instrumented function, and can be converted to a SIL ranking.

To be Continued…

Wellness DrivesAs a step towards healthy living, 'Wellness Drives' for employees were launched at VKO and PO.

'Fit­15' workshops were held in association with 'Wellness Associates Fitness Solutions and Management Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai’

The 'Fit-15' Workshop, as the name suggests, is a dynamic 15 minutes workout to help keep you fit. The 2 hour session consists of training on a full-body workout through a set of equipment-free exercises that can be done anywhere, any place, any time.

The workshop aims at instilling a healthy lifestyle by equipping employees with a set of basic exercises that can be easily integrated in our daily routine.

Participants get into the mood by donning tees, track pants and sports shoes. The trainer demonstrates the exercises and encourages participants to stretch beyond their comfort zone. He gladly responds to the myriad queries about fitness that are raised at the end of the workshop.

Eleven batches were held at Mumbai / Pune over a period of 3 months starting from November 2015 till February 2016. A total of 250 employees benefitted from the workshop.

Employees willingly stay back after office hours and enthusiastically participate in these workshops. Handouts are shared with participants after the workshops to help them carry on with the fitness regimen on their own.

The feedback received from participants is overwhelming and there is considerable excitement about our next initiative which is ‘Eye Yoga’.

Blood is a vital life force. Some may need blood or blood products to get through a serious event in their lives, like cancer or a dangerous pregnancy. Others could have medical conditions which mean they need blood products regularly to stay alive or healthy.

Yes, this vital fluid has no substitute. And it is also true that few acts are nobler than that of saving someone's life. In fact by donating just 350 ml of our blood, we could be saving upto 3 lives!

We, at tkIS India did our humble bit towards this noble cause by organizing blood donation camps at our Mumbai and Pune Office to commemorate World Health Day.

Dedicated teams of doctors from Rajawadi Hospital Mumbai and Sassoon Hospital Pune helped us in this noble endeavour and we could collect over 240 bags of blood from our two offices.

Truly a win-win situation as the joy of giving knows no bounds!

Did You Know !

Whole blood is seldom used for transfusions except for cases where there is rapid massive blood loss e.g. accident/trauma victims or during surgery.

Blood components can be separated using a 'Blood Separation Unit'. One such unit was donated last year to the Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar as part of our CSR initiatives. The various components like RBCs, Platelets and Plasma have their own uses.

Red cells are used to treat all kinds of anaemia (lack of haemoglobin/red cells). They are also essential for the replacement of red cells lost due to accidents, surgery or childbirth.

Platelet transfusions are frequently given to patients unable to produce enough platelets in their bone marrow, such as those with leukaemia or other cancers. Platelet transfusions are also needed by dengue patients who suffer a drastic drop in their platelet levels.

Plasma is useful on its own. It can also be further processed to produce a host of valuable blood products for the treatment of diseases.
