Road Safety Week

Road Safety Week
Raod safety week is celebrated with the great joy and enthusiasm every year in India at many places such as Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Baroda, Vadodara, Pune, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and etc. People are encouraged about how to drive on road by organising variety of programmes related to the road safety.
During the whole week celebration of this campaign, variety of educational banners, safety posters, safety films, pocket guides and leaflets related to the road safety are distributed to the on road trevellers. They get motivated about the road safety while trevelling on road means having planned, well-organized and professional way travelling. People who travel in unprofessional way are requested to use road safety measures and follow traffic rules by giving them roses.

Road Safety Week 2014

Road safety week 2014 would be celebrated in India from 2nd of January (Thursday) to the 7th of January (Tuesday).
How the Road Safety Week is Celebrated
Road safety week is celebrated by performing the following activities:

• Road safety leaflets including roses, chocolates and flowers are distributed to the travellers on the road.
• commuters are also explained about the methods and necesseities of the road safety means they must understand the use of helmets or seat belts while driving on the road or anywhere.
• Various painting and drawing competitions, road safety announcements, exhibitions, road rules test, girls scooter rally to encourage the use of helmets, debates on road safety at the All India Radio, workshops, seminar and etc activities are organized.
• Free medical chek up camps and driving training workshops are organizzed for the drivers to encourage them towards the road safety.
• Road safety quiz compititions are also organized to promote people about road safety.
• Traffic safety games including card games, puzzles, board games and etc are organized to educate school children about road safety.

Why Road Safety Week Campaign Celebration is Necessary
Celebrating the road safety campaign was initiated by the ISS India HSE (Health Safety and Environment) in order to make people aware about the national road safety in the Indian subcontinent. ISS India had declared to celebrate the Road Safety Week all through the country in the first week of the month of January. The aim of this campaign was to emphasize and accentuate people about the need of safe roads travel by applying just simple rules.
According to the information, it has been noted that approximately one lakh people are getting killed per year in the road accidents. Or some of them become sufferer of the life threatening problems such as mental trauma, loss of memory, loss of hand or legs and so many for the whole life. Such situations specially in India increases the importance and necessity of the road safety measures. India has a very huge population of the road travellers such as two wheelers, four wheelers on the road, thats why they must know the road safety.
It also need efforts from different stakeholders such as the community, transport sector, insurance sector, health sector, police, legal sector, educational institutions, highway engineers, vehicle manufacturers, public agencies, NGOs and etc. Students are given a big oppurtunity to be participated in the road safety week programme as to change something, youths of the country must understand first.
Road Safety Week Themes

• The theme for road safety week celebration 2013 was “Stay Alive, don’t drink and drive” to increase awareness among people against the drunken driving.
• The theme for road safety week celebration 2011 was “Road Safety A Mission, Not Intermission”.

Objectives of Celebrating Road Safety Week

• The aim of celebrating the campaing road safety week is to promote the road safety measures in the community, schools, colleges, work places, on roads and etc.
• To decrease and completely remove out the road accidents, road accident death and injury cases by applying the road safety measures.
• To encourage all the travellers to follow the traffic rules and wear helmets and seat belts while driving.
• To implement the new preventative measures which are proved to lessen the risk of road accidents, death or injury.
• To aware the people about the speed limit of the vehicles to prevent road accidents.
• To maintain the speed and required distance from other  vehicles
• To aware people that do not drink, do not drive when tired and do not use phones or radios while driving.

Daily Weather History & Observations

Organization Development Interventions

Organization Development (OD) interventions techniques are the methods created by OD professionals and others. Single organization or consultant cannot use all the interventions. They use these interventions depending upon the need or requirement. The most important interventions are,

1. Survey feedback
2. Process Consultation
3. sensitivity Training
4. The Managerial grid
5. Goal setting and Planning
6. Team Building and management by objectives
7. Job enrichment, changes in organizational structure and participative management and Quality circles, ISO, TQM

Survey feedback: The intervention provides data and information to the managers. Information on Attitudes of employees about wage level, and structure, hours of work, working conditions and relations are collected and the results are supplied to the top executive teams. They analyse the data, find out the problem, evaluate the results and develop the means to correct the problems identified. The team are formed with the employees at all levels in the organization hierarchy i.e, from the rank and file to the top level.

Process Consultation : The process consultant meets the members of the department and work teams observes thie interaction, problem identification skills, solving procedures et. He feeds back the team eith the information collected through observations, coaches and counsels individuals & groups in moulding their behavior.

Goal setting and planning : Each division in an organization sets the goals or formulates the plans for profitability. These goals are sent to the top management which in turn sends them back to the divisions after modification . A set of organization goals thus emerge there after.

Managerial grid: This identifies a range of management behavior based on the different ways that how production/service oriented and employee oriented states interact with each other. Managerial grid is also called as instrumental laboratory training as it is a structured version of laboratory training. It consists of individual and group exercises with a view to developing awareness of individual managerial style interpersonal competence and group effeciveness. Thus grid training is related to the leadership styles. The managerial grid focuses on the observations of behaviour in exercises specifically related to work. Participants in this training are encouraged and helped to appraise their own managerial style.

There are 6 phases in grid OD:
First phase is concerned with studying the grid as a theoretical knowledge to understand the human behavior in the Organization.
Second phase is concerned with team work development. A seminar helps the members in developing each member’s perception and the insight into the problems faced by various members on the job.
Third phase is inter group development. This phase aims at developing the relationships between different departments
Fourth phase is concerned with the creation of a strategic model for the organization where Chief Executives and their immediate subordinates participate in this activity.

Fifth phase is concerned with implementation of strategic model.. Planning teams are formed for each department to know the available resources, required resources, procuring them if required and implementing the model Sixth Phase is concerned with the critical evaluation of the model and making necessary adjustment for successful implementation.

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a successful philosophy of management. It replaces the traditional philosophy of “Management by Domination”. MBO led to a systematic Goal setting and Planning. Peter Drucker the eminent management Guru in 1959 has first propagated the philosophy since then it has become a movement.

MBO is a process by which managers at different levels and their subordinates work together in identifying goals and establishing objectives consistent with Organizational goals and attaining them.

Team building is an application of various techniques of Sensitivity training to the actual work groups in various departments. These work groups consist of peers and a supervisor.
Sensitivity training is called a laboratory as it is conducted by creating an experimental laboratory situation in which employees are brought together. The Team building technique and training is designed to improve the ability of the employees to work together as teams.

Job enrichment is currently practiced all over the world. It is based on the assumption in order to motivate workers, job itself must provide opportunities for achievement, recognition, responsibility, advancement and growth. The basic idea is to restore to jobs the elements of interest that were taken away. In a job enrichment program the worker decides how the job is performed, planned and controlled and makes more decisions concerning the entire process.

APPROACH TO ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT

Organization Development (OD) is the process of improving organizations.
The process is carefully planned and implemented to benefit the organization,
its employees and its stakeholders.
The client organization may be an entire company or a smaller part of a larger organization.
The change process supports improvement of the organization or group as a whole .
The client and OD practitioner work together to gather data, define issues and
determine a suitable course of action. The organization is assessed to create an
understanding of the current situation and to identify opportunities for change
that will meet business objectives.
===============================================
*review the current business situation.
*conduct a PEST analysis [ political/economic/social/technology ]
*Review the INDUSTRY trend.
*conduct a SWOT analysis. [strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats] of the company.
*develop a GAP analysis, which could include

Action Research is a process which serves as a model for most OD interventions. Action Research is a "process of systematically collecting research data about an ongoing system relative to some objective, goal, or need of that system; feeding these data back into the system; taking actions by altering selected variables within the system based both on the data and on hypotheses; and evaluating the results of actions by collecting more data." The steps in Action Research are :

Entry. This phase consists of finding needs for change within an organization. It is also the time to quickly grasp the nature of the organization, identify the appropriate decision maker, and build a trusting relationship.

Start-up and contracting. In this step, we identify critical success factors and the real issues, link into the organization's culture and processes, and clarify roles for the consultant(s) and employees. This is also the time to deal with resistance within the organization. A formal or informal contract will define the change process.


Assessment and diagnosis. Here we collect data in order to find the opportunities and problems in the organization.
This is also the time for the consultant to make a diagnosis, in order to recommend appropriate interventions.


Feedback. This two-way process serves to tell those what we found out, based on an analysis of the data. Everyone who contributed information should have an opportunity to learn about the findings of the assessment process (provided there is no apparent breach of anyone's confidentiality.) This provides an opportunity for the organization's people to become involved in the change process, to learn about how different parts of the organization affect each other, and to participate in selecting appropriate change interventions.


Action planning. In this step we will distill recommendations from the assessment and feedback, consider alternative actions and focus our intervention(s) on activities that have the most leverage to effect positive change in the organization. An implementation plan will be developed that is based on the assessment data, is logically organized, results- oriented, measurable and rewarded. We must plan for a participative decision-making process for the intervention.


Intervention. Now, and only now, do we actually carry out the change process. It is important to follow the action plan, yet remain flexible enough to modify the process as the organization changes and as new information emerges.


Evaluation. Successful OD must have made meaningful changes in the performance and efficiency of the people and their organization. We need to have an evaluation procedure to verify this success, identify needs for new or continuing OD activities, and improve the OD process itself to help make future interventions more successful.


Adoption. After steps have been made to change the organization and plans have been formulated, we follow-up by implementing processes to insure that this remains an ongoing activity within the organization, that commitments for action have been obtained, and that they will be carried out.


Separation. We must recognize when it is more productive for the client and consultant to undertake other activities, and when continued consultation is counterproductive. We also should plan for future contacts, to monitor the success of this change and possibly to plan for future change activities.


It would be nice if real OD followed these steps sequentially. This rarely happens. Instead, the consultants must be flexible and be ready to change their strategy when necessary. Often they will have to move back and repeat previous steps in light of new information, new influences, or because of the changes that have already been made.


*develop a GAP analysis, which could include
-functions like marketing, sales, distribution, finance,administration, human resources etc.
-PROCESSES like core business, enabling business,supporting business etc
-SYSTEMS like planning, budgeting, compensation, quality, training, performance management.
* products
*service
etc etc etc.
===============================================

clarifying vision, strategies, values and leadership team culture
developing comprehensive growth plans tailored to unique needs

identifying the client's current life-cycle stage to determine timing for creating structure, procedures, process maps, etc.

organizing critical success factors including metrics that will drive success for the company .

conducting needs assessment for training and staff development
providing custom leadership development programs to move an organization to the next phase in its life cycle (from start-up to stabilization for example)


assisting the organization to navigate rapid change while staying focused on critical success factors

===============================================

OD practitioner work with all levels of employees. Examples include:

· CEO or Vice Presidents -- during changes in corporate strategy, mission, leadership development, technology or organization structure.

· Middle Managers -- within specific areas or across functions to identify sources of conflict and barriers to performance, or help build a broader vision and more effective leadership.

· First-line supervisors -- improve operations and employee involvement, establish high involvement work teams, improve organizational communication, install statistical process control, develop supervisory training or new reward systems.

· Line workers -- to facilitate job redesign improved performance, teambuilding or improvement in the work environment.

Permanent Container Labels
Employers must ensure that no worker uses, stores, or allows any other person to use or store any hazardous substance in a laboratory if the container (including bags, barrels, bottles, boxes, cans, cylinders, drums and reaction vessels) does not meet the following labeling requirements in OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard [29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(1)]:
The identity of the chemical and appropriate hazard warnings must be shown on the label.
The hazard warning must provide users with an immediate understanding of the primary health and/or physical hazard(s) of the hazardous chemical through the use of words, pictures, symbols, or any combination of these elements. The name and address of the manufacturer, importer or
other responsible party must be included on the label. The hazard label message must be legible, permanently
displayed and written in
English.Portable (Secondary) Container Labels
Often, laboratory operations require transferring chemicals from the original labeled container into a secondary container (e.g., beaker, flask, or bottle). Portable containers must comply with the labeling requirements listed above if any of the following events occur: The material is not used within the work shift of the individual who makes the transfer.
The worker who made the transfer leaves the work area. The container is moved to another work area and is no longer in the possession of the worker who filled the container.
Labeling and Transfer of Chemicals

The existing label on a container entering the workplace from a supplier must not be removed,
altered or defaced.
Labels on portable containers are not required if the worker who made the transfer uses all of the contents during the work shift.
When a secondary container is used for longer than one shift or does not meet the requirements outlined in the Permanent Container Labels section, above, a label needs to be applied to the secondary container. This label must contain two key pieces of information: the identity of the hazardous chemical(s)
in the container (e.g., chemical name) and the hazards present.There aremany ways to communicate this hazard information.
Employers should select a system that will work for each location.
Replacement Container Label
The existing label on a container entering the workplace from a supplier must not be removed, altered or defaced. If a chemical container’s original label must be replaced, the new label must contain the same information as the original. Only use labels, ink and markings that are not soluble in the liquid content of the container.

Environment & Forest Division

Through the Plans
Five Year Plans : FirstSecondThirdFourthFifthSixthSeventhEighthNinthTenthEleventh Areas Assigned to Environment & Forest Division

1. Environment
2. Forests
3. Wildlife
4. Climate Change
5. Disaster Management

 

Environment

Environmental load increases with increasing population and rapid economic growth. Growth should be environmentally benign and sustainable. Monitoring and timely actions for mitigation of negative environmental impacts are important. Greater environmental awareness, appropriate policies and regulatory mechanisms are important means to ensure these considerations in development.

Forests

Forest cover of India is 67.71 million ha, which is 20.60% of its geographical area. Of this, 5.46 million ha (1.66%) is very dense forest, 33.26 million ha (10.12%) is moderately dense and the rest 28.99 million ha is open including 0.44 million ha of mangroves. The policy target is to have 33% forest and tree cover ultimately which will require additional coverage of 16 million ha.

Wildlife

Sanctuaries and National Parks showcase biodiversity and require specific measures for preservation. There are 96 National Parks and 509 Wildlife sanctuaries declared for the protection of wildlife habitats. The total area of 15.7 million ha, which is about 4.78% of the geographical area of the country covering about 20% of the total forests is maintained under the protected area network.

Climate Change

Global Climate Change due to rising levels of Green House Gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is one of the most serious environmental concerns of our time. Since Global warming depends upon the total stock of GHG in the atmosphere, continued emissions beyond the earth’s absorptive capacity necessarily imply a rise in temperature. If emissions are stabilized at present level, a warming of about 0.2oC per decade is projected by Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Many Regions in India are highly vulnerable to natural and other disasters on account of geological conditions. About 60% of the landmass is susceptible to earthquakes and over 8% is prone to floods. Of the nearly 7500 kilometers of coastline, approximately 5700 kilometers is prone to cyclones. About 68% area is susceptible to drought.

Disaster Management

The Disaster Management Act, 2005 has been enacted for establishing requisite institutional mechanisms for drawing up and monitoring the implementation of disaster management plans, ensuring measures by various wings of the government for prevention and mitigating the effects of disasters, and for undertaking a holistic, coordinated and prompt response to any disaster situation.
The Environment and Forest Division is concerned with:

• Devising plans for the improvement of Environment and Forestry activities, this involves the following tasks:
  - Formulation of Five Year Plans, Annual Plans, processing reports and evaluation.
  - Identification of thrust areas that need specific attention and Follow up actions.
  - Identification of policy directions, major strategies and thrust areas for inclusion in the approach documents of the Planning Commission.
• Preparation of background notes Finalization of approaches, policies, strategies, targets, investment priorities etc. in the context of formulation of Five Year Plans with concerned Central Departments/Ministries.
• Performance Review (PR) of Financial/Physical Performance of the concerned Ministry Plan Schemes, Initiatives and Follow-up.
• Review and monitoring the performance of State and Central Pollution Control Boards and gives directions for their effective reach.
• Promotes Clean Development Mechanisms (CDM) among the Industrial sectors and Public Entrepreneurs in order to reduce GHG emissions and thereby involving in Carbon trading which leads to the development of sustainable energy development.
• Crafting Weather Insurance program for the farmers of the country which may lead to an ultimate solution for the crop insurance.

No one knows for sure how many species of animals exist on Earth. In fact, some 10,000 species of animals are discovered each year, with over one and a half million species already described. Projections for the total number of species on Earth range from 2 million to 50 million.

AFTER LONG JOURNEY ON THIS EARTH WE HAVE GOT HUMAN LIFE
Even today the number of plant species currently in existence is not clear. New species are still being identified and calculating anything like an accurate number is further complicated by the many examples of the same species in different areas being known by different names. Target 1 of the GSPC calls for “a widely accessible working list of know plant species, as a step towards a complete world flora, and it is expected that the working list will be complete by 2008. In the meantime, the best estimate we have of the number of known plant species is around 400,000.
How many of these plant species are under threat is also unclear. In 1997, the World Conservation Union’s (IUCN) Red List of Plants included some 34,000 threatened species (out of 60,000 evaluated). Since then, the IUCN Red Listing criteria have changed, and only around 11,000 species have been evaluated with the new system. However, of those evaluated, some 8,000 species were found to be under threat. Both of these assessments indicate that well over half of all plants evaluated are at risk. At the national level, we know that around 20% of the UK’s flora is threatened. A global estimate of one in four plant species being under threat of extinction is therefore reasonable.--

When can I convert mg/m³ to ppm?

Occupational exposure limits (OELs, TLVs, PELs, etc.) can be expressed in parts per million (ppm) only if the substance exists as a gas or vapour at normal room temperature and pressure. This is why exposure limits are usually expressed in mg/m³. However, some OELs may be expressed in units such as fibres/cc (e.g., for asbestos). OELs for metals, salts and other compounds that do not form vapours at room temperature and pressure are expressed in mg/m³ only.

What is the usual way of converting mg/m³ to ppm?

The ACGIH booklet "Threshold Limit Values (TLVs™) for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs™)" uses the formulas:
These formulas can be used when measurements are taken at 25°C and the air pressure is 760 torr (= 1 atmosphere or 760 mm Hg).

What is gram molecular weight?

Gram molecular weight is the molecular weight (MW) expressed in grams. For example, the gram molecular weight for toluene is 92.13 g. since the molecular weight is 92.13. A gram molecular weight is also called a gram mole.

How do I convert mg/m³ to ppm at different temperatures and pressures?

The number 24.45 in the equations above is the volume (liters) of a mole (gram molecular weight) of a gas or vapour when the pressure is at 1 atmosphere (760 torr or 760 mm Hg) and at 25°C.
To convert mg/m³ to ppm at other temperatures and pressures, one must calculate the volume of 1 gram molecular weight of an airborne contaminant (e.g. 92.13 grams of toluene) by using the formula:
V = (RT/ P)
where R is the ideal gas constant; T, the temperature in  kelvins (273.16 + T°C); and P, the pressure in mm Hg. This information can be substituted in the formulas for converting between mg/m³ and ppm.
where the value of R is 62.4 when the temperature (T) is in kelvins, K (=273.16 + T°C), the pressure is expressed in units of mm Hg and the volume is in liters. There are different values for the gas constant R if the temperature is expressed degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or if other units of pressure (e.g., atmospheres, kilopascals) are used.

How Do Particulates Enter the Respiratory System?

What are particulates?

Particulate matter is the name given to solids or liquids that are distributed in a gas. In the workplace, most often the term "particulates" refers to particles, dust, mist or fume that has become suspended in the surrounding air. The hazard with airborne particulates is that a person may breathe in the chemical that, may have ill effects on an individual's health.

What are the parts of the respiratory system that can be affected?

The diagram below shows the parts of the respiratory system. It can divided in two systems - the upper airway passages and the lower airway passages. The upper airway passages includes the nose, nasal passages, mouth and the pharynx down to the vocal cords in the larynx (voice box or "Adam's apple"). The lower airway passages start at the vocal cords, extend down the trachea (windpipe) and continue all the way down to the small air sacs, (alveoli) at the end of every branch of the bronchial tree. The bronchial tree includes the trachea, the bronchus (branches of the trachea going to each lobe of the lung), and bronchioles (branches of the bronchi).

How are particulates deposited in the lungs?

Inhalation is the most important route of exposure in the workplace. When particles are in the air, there is the chance that you will inhale them. How far the particle gets in the air passages of the respiratory system, and what it does when it is deposited, depends on the size, shape, and density of the particulate material. The "what happens" also depends on the chemical and toxic properties of the material.
Particles are deposited in the lungs by one of four different ways: interception, impaction, sedimentation, and diffusion.
Interception: A particle is intercepted or deposited when it travels so close to a surface of the airway passages that an edge of the particle touches the surface. This method of deposition is most important for fibres such as asbestos. The fibre length determines where the particle will be intercepted. For example: fibres with a diameter of 1 micrometre (µm) and a length of 200 µm would be deposited in the bronchial tree.
Impaction: When particles are suspended in air, they have a tendency to travel along their original path. When there is a bend in the airway system, for example, many particles do not turn with the air but rather impact or stick to a surface in the particles' original path. The likelihood of impaction depends on the air velocity and the particle mass. Typically, most particles greater than 10 µm (aerodynamic diameter) are deposited in the nose or throat and cannot penetrate the lower tissues of the respiratory tract. Aerodynamic diameter is the diameter of a spherical particle that has the same settling velocity as another particle regardless of its shape, size or density. Using aerodynamic diameters allows occupational hygiene specialists to compare particles of different sizes, shapes and densities in terms of how they will settle out of the air flow stream.
Sedimentation: As particles travel through air, gravitational forces and air resistance eventually overcome their buoyancy (the tendency for the particle to stay up). The result is that the particles will settle on a surface of the lung. This type of deposition is most common in the bronchi, and the bronchioles. Sedimentation is not an important factor when the aerodynamic diameter of the particle is less than 0.5 µm.
Diffusion: The random motion of particles is similar to gas molecules in the air when particles are smaller that 0.5 µm. When particles are in random motion, they deposit on the lung walls mostly by chance. This movement is also know as the "Brownian motion". The smaller the particle size, the more vigorous the movement is. Diffusion is the most important mechanism for deposition in the small airways and alveoli. Very fine particles 001 µm or smaller are also trapped in the upper airway.

What are the factors influencing where particulates are deposited?

In general, particles having an aerodynamic diameter of greater than 10 µm are deposited in the nasopharyngeal region (upper airway passages - nose, nasal cavity and throat) largely by impaction. This mechanism is prominent because of the high air speed and the many turns in the nasopharyngeal air way. The changes in airflow direction cause many particles to hit the walls of the air passage and so the particles deposit or settle in this region.
Smaller particles with an aerodynamic diameter of about 0.003 to 5 µm are deposited in the tracheobronchial and alveolar regions. Sedimentation is the most common method because at this point the air has slowed enough for particles to "settle" out.
When the air gets to the alveolar region (the lower lung area), it has slowed even more. The air is essentially calm. Particulates that make it this far into the lungs are usually 0.5 µm or smaller.
They enter the lung essentially by randomly landing on the membrane or other parts of the lung.
Because different sized particles deposit in different areas of the lung, nose or throat, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is recommending that the concept of particle size-selective limits be incorporated in their occupational exposure limits, the Threshold Limit Values (TLVs). The ACGIH uses the terms inhalable, thoracic, and respirable particulate mass for TLVs for particulates that are hazardous when inhaled.

• Inhalable Particulate Mass-TLVs are for materials that are hazardous when deposited anywhere in the respiratory tract.
• Thoracic Particulate Mass-TLVs are assigned to materials that are hazardous when deposited anywhere within the lung airways and the gas-exchange region (the lower airways passages).
• Respirable Particulate Mass-TLVs are for particulates that are small enough to reach the gas exchange region and are hazardous only if they are deposited in that region.
