EDITOR INSIGHT

Guest Editor of the month

I

t is a matter of honour once again for me to have been given this opportunity to be the Guest Editor for INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW. It is a great privilege to interact with my colleagues from the Police and Paramilitary forces of the country and our friends from the security and fire safety industry. Security today has assumed a vital place in our lives in the prevailing socioeconomic and political scenario all over the world. It has become an integral part of the society beginning from our homes to all public sector undertakings, banks, vital installations such as airports, space centers, army establishments, government buildings, malls, hospitals, hotels and places of public interest. In this era of technology security gadgets have assumed an important role in our lives whether it relates to public security, access control management, protection of houses, safety and security of public at large. Perpetrators of crime are finding all ways and means to circumvent the security arrangements to cause versatile sabotages. Security forces across the world are working day and night to counter this menace of antisocial elements with all out emphasis being laid on modernization of police, paramilitary and security forces guarding borders and seas.

Mr. Vikram Sahgal, DIG Police & General Manager (Security), ITPO

The 16th edition India International Security Expo being held from 26th to 29th September, 2013 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi to showcase latest technology to help meet the ever increasing needs of homeland security. The basic aim of holding this exposition is to bring together the manufacturers and suppliers of security equipments face to face with senior police and paramilitary officials from across the country, to provide an opportunity for expansion of trade to the industry and facilitate modernization of our security forces. There can’t be a better platform than this for professional interaction, trade relations, collaborations and transfer of technology. India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), one of the biggest expositions centers of the country under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India is striving to provide a platform to the Indian Security industry for its expansion and achieving excellence. Needless to mention ITPO offers the state of art facilities at the most competitive prices enabling both well established brands and the entrepreneurs to showcase their products before the world.

Through this edition of the magazine, I take this opportunity to call upon all our friends from the security industry to come forward and showcase best products with latest technology available with them in the field of access control, perimeter security, aviation security, border security, traffic management, surveillance, detection and disposal of explosives, blast protection devices, ballistic protection equipments, non-lethal weapons, fire safety and so on and so forth to facilitate and help the end users of these equipments find the best equipments in their pursuit for modernization. I am confident that no enterprising industrialist from the field of security can afford to miss this golden opportunity for furtherance his business interests. ITPO is striving to have an elite visitor profile from all over the country.

I also take this opportunity to call upon the senior officials from the fields of banking, hospitality, hospitals, corporate world, aviation, architecture, construction, police, paramilitary, intelligence and investigation to visit this expo to have wonderful exposure to plethora of security equipments likely to be displayed during this exposition. I am sure our friends from security industry world come forward in large number to make this expo a memorable experience after all it is the versatility of products that would generate business opportunities and success of subsequent editions of this expo.

Steria enables India’s Uttar Pradesh police to respond quickly and effectively to emergency calls

I

ndia’s Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police Department has selected Steria to help improve the efficiency of its Emergency Response System, which serves 3.5 million citizens in the city of Kanpur. Steria will provide a variety of support, integration and IT services that will enable the police to make faster and smarter decisions on how it uses resources to respond to emergencies.

Today Steria, a leading provider of IT-enabled business services, announces the signing of a major contract with India’s UP (Uttar Pradesh) Police Department.

Building from Steria’s vast experience on homeland security projects, the contract will enable the police to improve the speed and efficiency of its Emergency Response (Command and Control) System, responsible for addressing distress calls from the city of Kanpur’s 3.5 million citizens.

Under the new contract, Steria will provide an integrated Computer Aided Dispatch platform that will handle inbound ‘Dial100’ citizen distress calls. The GISbased (Geographical Information System) platform will capture caller information and location coordinates and dispatch them to the nearest police patrolling vehicle for emergency handling. This new functionality will improve efficiency, reducing the time it takes to respond to calls and providing a better view of emergency situations for more efficient resource mobilisation and allocation.

The project includes a systems integration phase, followed by two years of application support. Steria will work on the installation of the application software, the setup

40 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

of data centre infrastructure, the system’s control room, network and connectivity.

Steria partnered with TCIL (Telecommunications Consultants India Ltd), a public sector telecommunications consultancy and engineering company that operates under the Ministry of Communications and IT, for the bid. Steria was selected over 13 other shortlisted companies, including some of India’s key players in the homeland security domain.

This contract win reinforces Steria’s expertise as a reputed provider of IT solutions to India’s homeland security and transportation sectors.

Francois Enaud, Steria Group CEO, comments: “The solution will provide the police force with a comprehensive real-time view of events across the city of Kanpur.

With this crucial insight, emergency response teams will be able to better assess needs, prioritise and coordinate actions and proactively deploy assets to address and potentially prevent multiple, complex incidents within the city.”

“The benefits of this solution are vast,” he adds. “The system’s unified view of incident data enables faster and smarter decision making with the ability to handle multiple situations simultaneously and reduce emergency response time substantially. It will also enable endto-end coordination of emergency agencies and connect diverse first responder agencies with shared, interoperable equipment and protocols.”

This project builds on Steria’s extensive experience in homeland security including delivering a case management system for Norway’s

National Police and the groundbreaking 10-year transformational partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland in the UK.

ID Global is the trusted leader in solutions for the delivery of secure identity solutions for millions of customers around the world and is committed to enhancing customer value by delivering the most trusted, advanced and dependable secure identity solutions in the market.

Though our legacy has been in the physical access space, today our solutions range fromphysical and logical access control, including strong authentication and credential management; card printing and personalization; visitor management systems; highly secure government and citizen ID; and identification RFID technologies used in animal ID and industry and logistics applications.

The Indian Journey HID Global was present in India since the mid-1990s through global alliances and partners. In 2003, HID Global established its first sales office in India to better support our global alliances and partners and help them address the growing access control needs in the Indian market.

Soon after, many multi-national corporations from the security industry have started investing in the APAC region, particularly in India, as they saw a strong growth potential in this emerging economy.

In 2005, HID Global strategically invested in the Indian market by establishing a full-fledged distribution centre. Geographically, India is one of the fastest growing countries in coming years.

Driving factors There is a lot of infrastructure investment taking place in India and we have startedto see tremendous growth in various vertical markets including government, transportation, and utility sectors.

Meanwhile, rapid urbanization in India has created the demand for security identity solutions and points to enormous opportunities in tier-II cities such as Hyderabad, Pune and Kolkataand tier-III cities such as Ahemdabad, Kochi, Coimbatore, Vizag, Jaipur,Lucknow, Vishakapatnam, Mysore and Pune.

On the technological front, there are a number of market drivers. The first is the impact of mobility on access control technology, fueled by the emergence of near field communications (NFC) and other technologies. Another key development is the convergence of physical and logical access to create more capable, unified identity platforms. Thirdly, we are also seeing an acceleration of contactless www.ind-safety.com

SUCCESS STORY

smartcards technology and IP-based access control solutions for increased functionality and application convergence. And finally, there is growing demand for interoperable migration solutions and higher security to protect customers’ technology investments. Each of these trends is driving significant new innovation as we strive to solve difficult customer problems, while differentiating our offering within an increasingly standards-based market environment.

Our Strategy Our growth strategy is founded on the principle of extending and enhancing the HID Global customer experience in product quality, delivery and service through a unique set of value-added customer advantages. In the early age, our business growth was driven by cards and readers for physical access control. As the market needs continue to evolve, we remain committed to enhancing customer value by continually bolstering our broad portfolio of products, solutions and services.

One of the biggest changes we are preparing for is that, as we move to the next evolution of physical and logical access control, identity no longer must reside on a plastic card. Instead, it can now become transportable and mediaindependent, and can be embedded into smartphones and other mobile devices that feature NFC capabilities.

In this new environment, mobile access control will complement traditional plastic cards as an additional way to provide identity to individuals. Users can open doors by holding their phones close to a reader so they can “present” the digital key or card inside. The

52 | AUGUST 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

industry won’t see plastic cards going away anytime soon, though. At the end of the day, the mobile access control infrastructure will augment what already exists for plastic smart cards in the typical physical access control system (PACS).

In addition, HID Global’s acquisitions have strengthened our value proposition across the industry as well. We acquired FARGO card printer business in 2006 to include secure issuance solutions for corporate and national ID. In 2011, our acquisition of ActivIdentity, worldwide leader in intelligent identity assurance, and LaserCard, leading provider of secure ID solutions further expand HID’s portfolio in identity assurance and its government business.

Our most recent acquisition of EasyLobby, pioneer and marketleading provider of comprehensive visitor management solutions, complements and extends HID Global’s complete portfolio of secure identity solutions.

The way forward One of our strength is to deliver even greater simplicity in helping our customers create, use andmanage secure identity, in a world where security threats continue to grow and privacy assurances are increasingly critical.

The rapid adoption of our iCLASS SE platform is a testament to the growing importance that customers place on being able to future-proof their access control infrastructure using products based on open standards and interoperability and the need for enhanced security and privacy. Open standards foster the availability of a broad range of interoperable products, and also enable users to future-proof their access control

infrastructure, ensuring that solutions can be easily upgraded to allow for changes in technology and applications. iCLASS SE platform solutions are interoperable with a growing range of products including commercial and residential locks as well as future access control products that use NFC enabled smartphones and other devices. The iCLASS SE platform also includes our awardwinning iCLASSSeos credentials, which solves the twin problems of ensuring identity security across a wide range of interoperable products in a world of growing threats, while also making credentials portable to new mobile platforms that deliver a more convenient and “frictionless” user experience across a range of applications including access control, automatic fare collection, transit, and other payment applications.

Additionally, HID Global today expands its distribution network to cater the ever growing businesses across India.National distributors contribute to about 20 cities in India and then there are about 10 regional distributors also reaching out to almost 15 to 20 cities. Distribution structure is not restricted to tier-I cities, it spreading across tier-I, tierII &tier-III cities.

Today, the security industry in India is fragmented with minimal government regulations and policies. We believe that as the industry is beginning mature, more policies and regulations will come along to protect the end-users, integrators and manufacturers.

Most of the organizations see access control systems as a ‘good to have’ component. We hope that the consumers’ attitudes will become more proactive and consider access control systems as a ‘must have’ item in the coming years. www.ind-safety.com

• Banks • Hotels • Residential buildings

Q Which are the some of your pioneering products and services you introduced in the market recently or is there any plan to launch the new products?

We pioneered the analogue video surveillance category in 2011 and now we are pioneering the category of IP video surveillance which would be our new growth driver.

We have engineered and added lot of products in the IP range. Last year we launched our ZSecure IP camera series and have already received overwhelming response for it. We have already bagged good projects and both our analogue and IP products have passed stringent performance and quality tests from NABL approved government lab in India, once again re-sounding our focus of quality and technology at par international standards.

Our new ZSecure Video Management Software comes in three different versions Lite, Professional and Enterprise with features and scalability suiting every requirement. It supports

features like virtually unlimited camera integration, video analytics, distributed client server architecture, open platform supporting multi brands, multi server support, server failover mechanism, etc.

We are launching Mega Pixel IP cameras and would soon be launching Standalone NVR series which would be very helpful in addressing the installation complexity for IP camera, still retaining all benefits of IP but installation friendly like analogue cameras. This would be more like plug and play for IP camera quite similar to how plug and play happens for analogue camera along with DVR. We are also aiming for newer heights in the analogue product domain as well. Our new WD1 DVR series based on Texas Instruments’ new DaVinci™ DM8107 platform has received overwhelming response from partners and customers.

This is the next generation DVR series with features like NAS storage support, FTP storage, alarms for crucial events, complete health check up of the DVR, 3G & Wi-Fi enabled, etc. Moreover the next generation compression technology helps the customers save crucial storage

requirements thus saving cost. We are already working on supporting all our future product lines with next generation H.265 compression technology, which would further help customers to get an increased ROI on their investments.

We have also upgraded our HQIS series from 600 TVL to 700 TVL and would be showcasing 800 TVL and 1000 TVL analogue camera series in IISE, New Delhi.

With several traditional free and unreliable DDNS services and reliable one’s converting to fee based services, Sparsh has bridged this gap by launching reliable and secure Sparsh Express DDNS services – Free DDNS services for all Sparsh partners and customers. This service would not only help bridge the gap of a free DDNS service but also provide a platform for customers and partners to manage their Sparsh devices on a single window and at click of a mouse button.

We have also integrated our customer care centre with Integrated Voice and Recording System (IVRS) for hassle free support to all our partners and bring customer service to a completely new level.

Our dedicated professional team of customer care executives now provides support for all Sparsh products at a single central number.

We do not follow the herd mentality of easy low cost imports from China but do them better with our inherent strength in product design, software development and manufacturing.

We want to make our customers “Feel Secure” when they buy Sparsh products rather than being unsure about Chinese quality.

Q How do you account R&D activity in your company?

Getting the expertise from world’s top companies; Sony Electronics and Aptina in the analogue domain, we

60 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

are today manufacturing world class products in the analogue range.

In IP range, getting expertise from the leading company; Texas Instruments, Sparsh has developed and launched the next generation IP cameras and also became the first India-based company to launch 4, 8 and 16 channels designed and developed DVR series based on TI’s DaVinci™ DM8107.

We would be launching our Mega Pixel IP cameras in IISE, New Delhi from 26th to 29th Septmeber,2013 which are developed with technical expertise from Aptina, one of the leading and popular company in the Mega Pixel space.

We have associated with the best and leading companies in each space to support us with the latest and best in class technologies. This in combination with our R&D team and software expertise, what India is known world over for, enables us to design and develop work class products.

50% CAGR from last five years and would continue to grow by expanding its product portfolio and global footprint. This year we focus at growing more than 50% and consolidate our brand position in different regions in India. We also focus to streamline our channel and expand our reach to more than 150 cities with more than 3000 channel partners. We by our studies hold approximately 8% of the CCTV market share by volume and want to increase our market to more than 10% this year. This year our DVR market share grew by 75% and we aim to have more than 15% of market share in DVRs and 5% in IP cameras by this year end.

Q Brief us about future plans of Sparsh?

Our future expansion will be both in Analogue and IP video surveillance category, with IP category getting more focus. We have already launched products in this category and aim to complete the IP portfolio by end of this fiscal including megapixel IP cameras and network video recorders. We would also be adding 800TVL and 1000 TVL of analogue products to address the increasing demand for high resolution cameras. We are already a leader in the analogue category and our target is to be the leading brand in the IP category as well in next two years.

This year we are also focussing on government vertical with Sparsh already registered as an approved DGS&D brand for supply of CCTV cameras and solution to all central and state government bodies.

and Services. This will not only reduce the burden on Customer’s pocket but shall also ensure healthier competition between good security system providers.

Our vision includes India to be put on the world map as a competition to other security equipment manufacturing countries specially China. We are talking to various associates and government bodies to get a preferred status to the Security Industry so that it can grow faster and catch up with the other manufacturing countries.

Q How do you foresee “India” as a potential market, what are the prospects?

The growing incidences of terrorist attacks (26/11 attack) and other criminal activities have significantly changed the security perception of the Indian customers and various government agencies, which are now looking for better and advanced security products & solutions. The changing socio-economic conditions have made video surveillance a must have for both government and private organizations.

The need for security in almost every walk of life is driving the demand for CCTV cameras thus providing attractive business

opportunity for multi-nationals, local firms and traders. Based on various estimates, global CCTV market is still growing at double digit rates and Indian market is growing at few times that rate.

Asia accounts for over 1/3rd of the global market with India and China driving bulk of the growth.

Indian CCTV market has grown at 25-35% CAGR in last few years and we expect growth rates to continue for next 3-5 years.

Q What are the issues you need to address that are related to your industry?

Despite such a growing market, Indian CCTV market is still much unorganized with many traders flooding the market with inferior imported products. Customers need to be educated so that they can buy the right product for their security needs and get best return on their investment.

In addition, government needs to set standards for security devices that can be sold and provide guidelines for import and export of electronic security products.

In addition, government needs to create policies to promote local manufacturing of security products.

And, these sub-standard products importers appoint substandard dealers creating confusion and bringing lack of confidence in customers even in standardized products. These unorganized players will find it hard to sell substandard products only if the government shows interest in setting some higher standards.

FLIR Systems SR-100 cameras make the airport even safer than before.

More than 20 million passengers pass through Copenhagen each year.

With the threat of intruders, or even worse, terrorist attacks, making sure that all passengers are safe within an airport is of the utmost importance to commercial airlines and airport authorities. But not only passengers, also personnel and valuable equipment need to be protected. FLIR Systems SR-100 thermal imaging cameras help to make Copenhagen Airport an even safer airport than before.

Ground radar follows everything leaving or entering the Critical part of the Security Restricted Area (CSRA). The borders of the CSRA are marked with a red line.

ounded in 1925, Copenhagen Airport was one of the first civil airports in the world.

Today,Copenhagen Airport is the biggest airport in Scandinavia measured not only in total number of passengers, but also in international traffic, direct long haul routes and total number of destinations. More than 20.9 million passengers passed through the airport in 2006.

Centrally located in Scandinavia, with the most extensive route network and the highest population density in the region, Copenhagen Airport is the logical choice for all passengers traveling to/from Scandinavia.

Copenhagen Airport covers an area of 12.4 square kilometers and has a 30-kilometre-long perimeter

fence.

Organizing appropriate surveillance for such a large area is an enormous task. In addition to camera surveillance, the airport is also monitored by driving and walking patrols, both indoors and outdoors, around the clock.

More than 700 specially trained security staff members, police officers and others, play an active role in the security set-up so that passengers can feel safe and secure during their trip.

Monitoring the Critical part of the SecurityRestricted Area (CRSA) “Although we are meticulously monitoring the entire airport, we are especially concentrating on the Critical part of the Security Restricted Area (CSRA)�, explains www.ind-safety.com

Mr. Frank Christensen, Dept. Head of Department of the Copenhagen Airport Security Operations Center.

“This area comprises all buildings accessible to passengers, the piers used for boarding and un-boarding the passengers, the parking area for the airplanes, ... We have 108 airplane stands so it is a huge area to monitor.

Everyone going into the CSRA, needs to be thoroughly security checked before they can enter. Nothing can enter or leave the area without the Security Operations Center knowing about it.”

“One of the problems we are facing is that the CSRA borders the runways. Airplane going from the piers to the take-off area, or airplane that have just landed and are taking their passengers to one of the piers, are coming from an “unsecure” area into the CSRA. Also cars and people from other areas within the airport, but outside the CSRA, could enter the area. Therefore we thoroughly monitor all the entrances and exits of the CSRA with different types of sensors and with ground radar.

Furthermore, all planes and airport personnel going into the area or leaving it have to notify us. Although ground radar and sensors warn us when something is happening, we can not see what it is. Therefore, everyone and everything entering or leaving the CSRA is also followed with cameras so that we know what is happening.”

“Monitoring and following objects with a camera is easy during daytime.

But during night time we could not see anything with our daylight cameras. It is impossible to light up the entire CSRA, since we can not put lighting poles everywhere. This would obstruct the airplane traffic from and to the runways. However, if an alarm is triggered, we want to be able to see what has caused the alarm before we send out security guards to check the situation. In order to solve the problem we thought of thermal imaging.”, explains Mr. Christensen.

Thermal imaging: the solution for seeing at night “We were extremely enthusiastic during the first demonstrations of the FLIR Systems thermal imaging cameras. It became immediately clear that they would be a huge asset to our security infrastructure. We were amazed to see them produce a clear image in the darkest of nights, from unlighted areas, so that we could track and follow objects without effort. Being able to see in total darkness is great for security people. Definitely in Scandinavia where there is not that much daylight in wintertime.”

After careful consideration, Copenhagen Airport chose to install FLIR Systems SR-100 thermal imaging cameras. “We chose for the SR-100 because they give us a www.ind-safety.com

great range performance. Equipped with a 100 mm lens, they allow us to detect objects from more than 1.5 km away.”, Mr. Christensen explains. “Another advantage is that the cameras contain an uncooled infrared detector. This reduces downtime to an absolute minimum.

We need to be sure that the cameras are working 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.”

The cameras where mounted on a standard Pan/Tilt mechanism

by Praecisionsteknik, the FLIR Systems distributor for Security and Surveillance products in Denmark.

“We need the cameras on a Pan/ Tilt.”, Mr. Christensen elaborates.

“Once an alarm, generated by the ground radar or other sensors goes off, we immediately need to be able to turn the camera to the right direction. This way we can see what has triggered the alarm and we can follow the object with the thermal imaging camera if necessary.”

Easy integration is key “Although we were very enthusiastic when we saw the first demonstration of the FLIR thermal imaging cameras, one of the key elements in the decision process was the integration of the cameras in our existing security network.”, says Mr. Claus Hulstrom, Software Developer at Copenhagen Airport.

“We are operating more than 200

Top left and right: Images from the SR-100 thermal imaging cameras displayed on an LCD screen

72 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

CCTV cameras at the airport and the thermal imaging cameras needed to be installed in the same network.

Just like all the other cameras we are using, the FLIR Systems thermal imagers can be operated using the PelcoD protocol and could easily be integrated in our existing PelcoD network. In order to install them we just removed some of our normal cameras and installed the thermal imaging cameras. All together this only took us about 2 hours.”

Thermal imaging: more than expected “Now that the SR100 thermal imaging cameras are installed, they do more than initially planned! We also look at well-lit areas with the cameras. They are not blinded by the lights in any circumstance and deliver a crisp image on which we can see the smallest of details. Furthermore, they are a great help in difficult weather conditions like fog, where normal CCTV cameras can not see anything.”

“The cameras sometimes give us even more information. After all, they are infrared cameras that are making temperature differences visible. By e.g. looking at a car with the SR-100 cameras, we can immediately see if it has been there a long time or just arrived. A car with a hot motor generates an entirely different image from a car with a cold motor.”

“Thermal imaging has proven

its value here at Copenhagen Airport. Thanks to thermal imaging, Copenhagen Airport has become even safer than it was before.”, concludes Mr. Christensen.

For a Czech Security Company, Hikvision is the Best Bet Features, such as up-to 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 960) resolution and HD720P real time video, allow the DS-2CD764F-E to successfully achieve this goal. Located in the server room is the DS-2DF1-402 4” Network High Speed Dome.

ocated in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is the new headquarters of Jablotron Alarms, a.s - one of the country’s largest security firms. As this new corporate headquarters represents both the success of the company, as well a new business facility, it was paramount that security be indicative of this reality. Thus, a number of Hikvision products were chosen to protect both Jablotron’s reputation and its new building.

Hikvision Cameras ... Inside “Jablotron’s overall goal was to

design a high-quality CCTV system, but one that was easy to operate. We put a great deal of emphasis on the ability to obtain clear, quality, pictures in both day and night environments; as well the ability to view them live or by recording,” explained Martin Svoboda, Operational Director at Jablotron.

The guts, so to speak, of this CCTV system was a quartet of Hikvision cameras: the DS-2DF1514 5” Network High Speed Dome, DS-2CD8253F-EI IR Bullet Network Camera, DS-2CD764F-E 1.3 MP Network Dome Camera, and the DSwww.ind-safety.com

2DF1-402 4” Network High Speed Dome. Internally, main entrances, as well as emergency exits were deemed areas that needed coverage.

Additionally, hallways, various office space, and security management rooms were designated as requiring additional security.

Primarily tasked with this effort was Hikvision’s DS-2CD764F-E 1.3 MP Network Dome Camera. “We found this unit to be particularly good in areas such as receiving, as well as other office space. We are really able to see, in great detail, what is important,” noted Mr. Svoboda.

Features, such as up-to 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 960) resolution and HD720P real time video, allow the DS-2CD764F-E to successfully achieve this goal. Located in the server room is the DS-2DF1-402 4” Network High Speed Dome.

This camera was specifically chosen because of its 360° endless pan range. It was also put on a 24hour scan feature to better visually patrol the area. This Hikvision model allows IP - both inside headquarters, as well as those outside (by remote viewing) - to keep constant vigil over this highly-important room. ... and Out While on the exterior, Hikvision’s DS2DF1-514 5” Network High Speed Dome mans the roof. Obviously, an IP66 rating is critical to this camera being able to do its job in hot European summers and brutally cold winters. Also, due to the area this camera resides - the roof - it is vital to zoom on any potential threats.

A 23x zoom provides this, while a 360° endless pan range and -5°-185° tilt range gives the ability to quickly follow any item of interest.

Interestingly, “We really liked this camera, and purchased an extra unit just in case of any emergency

situation,” added Mr. Svoboda.

Placed liberally along the external facade of these headquarters is the DS-2CD8253F-EI IR Bullet Network Camera. Again, sporting an IP66 rating, the DS-2CD8253FEI also provides true day / night ability and an IR range of up-to 30m to give excellent coverage all lighting conditions. Mr. Svoboda remarked, “For this particular application, night vision was critical, and we are very comfortable with the DS-2CD8253FEI’s ability.”

The Final Piece Finally, tying this CCTV system together is Hikvision’s DS-8632NIST NVR. “The DS-8632NI-ST allows us to connect all of our internal and external Hikvision cameras into this 32-channel NVR. This conveniently and efficiently provides multiple access for different users, such as personnel at reception, security, or various managers that need require usage of our CCTV system,” summed up Mr. Svoboda.

Whether it be hallways or the headquarters’ external walls, Hikvision is helping Jablotron Alarms, a.s. deliver the security to ensure their continued future success.

adio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags are fitted to a baby to accurately report Real-Time location and to avoid unauthorised removal of an infant from a ward. These RFID tags use the very latest in RFID Technology, transmitting a unique ID to the local network of readers to confirm the location of the baby.

A transmitter tag attached to the baby’s ankle sends RF signals to discreetly placed receivers as the baby is moved throughout the facility. Any movement beyond a ‘secure area’ will trigger alarms and notify staff. A Low Frequency (LF) Receiver inside the tag works with an LF Exciter to create an alert if a tag nears an exit.

Radio-frequency identification (RFID)

RFID is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. RFID tags communicate with a networked system to track the object that has the tag. Like other wireless devices, RFID tags broadcast over a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The exact frequency is variable and can be chosen to avoid interference with other electronics or among RFID tags. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by and read at short ranges (a few meters) via magnetic fields. Others use a local power source such as a battery, or else have no battery but collect energy from the interrogating EM field, and then act as a passive transponder to emit microwaves or UHF radio

waves. Battery powered tags may operate at hundreds of meters. RFID tags communicate with an electronic reader which in turn is connected to a large network that will send information on the location of the tagged object to a central location.

RFID tags are an improvement over bar codes because the tags have read and write capabilities. Data stored on RFID tags can be changed, updated and locked. Through RFID tags, Security can quickly be alerted when the baby leaves the designated area.

Types of RFID tags

Inductively coupled RFID tags are powered by a magnetic field generated by the RFID reader. This magnetic field inducts a current in the wire.

Capacitively coupled tags use conductive carbon ink instead of metal coils to transmit data.

The ink is printed on paper labels and scanned by readers.

However both of the above are relatively bulky and expensive and hence no longer used.

Newer innovations in the RFID industry include active, semiactive and passive RFID tags. These tags can store up to 2 kilobytes of data and are composed of a microchip, antenna and, in the case of active and semi-passive tags, a battery. An active tag also uses its battery to broadcast radio waves to a reader, whereas a semi-passive tag relies on the reader to supply its power for broadcasting.

The tag’s components are enclosed within plastic, silicon or sometimes glass. These tags are less expensive to produce, and they can be made small enough to fit on almost any product. www.ind-safety.com

TECH UPDATE

RFID tags that contain their own power source are known as active tags. Those without a power source are known as passive tags.

RFID - Basics • Data stored within an RFID tag’s microchip waits to be read.

• The tag’s antenna receives electromagnetic energy from an RFID reader’s antenna.

• Using power from its internal battery or power harvested from the reader’s electromagnetic field, the tag sends radio waves back to the reader.

• The reader picks up the tag’s radio waves and interprets the frequencies as meaningful data.

RFID system components.

A RFID tagging system comprises of the tag itself, a read/write device, and a host system application for data collection, processing, and transmission.

Passive Reader Active Tag (PRAT) system has a passive reader which only receives radio signals from active tags (battery operated, transmit only). The reception range of a PRAT system reader can be adjusted from a few feet to over 1500 feet, allowing flexibility in applications such as asset protection and supervision.

An Active Reader Passive Tag (ARPT) system has an active reader, which transmits interrogator signals and also receives authentication replies from passive tags. An Active Reader Active Tag (ARAT) system uses active tags that respond to an interrogator signal from the active reader. A variation of this system could also use a Battery-Assisted Passive (BAP) tag which acts like a passive tag but has a small battery to power the tag’s return reporting signal.

Fixed readers are set up to create a specific interrogation zone which can be tightly controlled. This creates a highly defined reading area for when tags go in and out of

80 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

the interrogation zone.

Central Monitoring station and software.

When an unauthorized person attempts to remove a monitored infant from the secured area, software displays status of automatically locked doors, infant location and alert/alarm condition information.

This system becomes the eyes and ears of the security department, augmenting existing policy and procedure protocols. It is designed to perform a variety of Perimeter Alarm and Access Control functions by locking a door during the programmed hours and triggering an alarm if an unauthorized entry or exit has occurred.

Securing the Infant

The objective of the RFID tagging system is to prevent babies or infants from being removed from a ward without authorisation.

Immediately after birth, a tag utilizing a unique code is applied to the ankle of an infant. This code is used to identify the infant as it enters or exits a monitored area. The presence signal provides the system with information about the RFID tag, and will generate an alert if the signal is lost, a different alert for a low battery and an alarm when a strap is tampered with. Each facility may have a designated “safe area” usually the maternity ward.

Infants may be moved freely within this area, at all times. All exits from the safe area are monitored using a reader. As soon as a tag comes near an exit, an alarm occurs showing the

specific RFID tag and the location. As long as the infant is wearing a tag, he or she cannot be passed through a monitored exit undetected. Most system manufacturers also provide special tamper-proof straps that trigger an alarm if anyone attempts to cut or unfasten the strap.

The control system has a “sign out” procedure, whereby authorised staff can sign out specific infants. Sign outs are strictly controlled through the use of passwords. The identity of the person authorising the sign out is recorded in the database of the control system. Similar precautions apply when discharging infants.

Control systems are also designed to perform a variety of Perimeter Alarm and Access Control functions by locking a door during the programmed hours and triggering an alarm if an unauthorized entry or exit has occurred. When a tag is tampered with or removed without proper authorization, the facility locks down and audible or silent alarms are triggered.

Caveat

RFID baby tagging system is an aide to the security staff and not an end in itself. Relying solely on RFID baby tagging systems might dull the security staff into a sense of complacency and they might miss the criminal activity happening right in front of their eyes. Human intelligence, alert nursing staff and the security staff together with the baby tagging system will make a secure system.

SmartStruxure LiteTM Solutions for small buildings Embrace the Opportunity -Small to medium size buildings deserve high performance building management solutions.

B

Mr. Shrinivas Chebbi Vice President – India & SAARC – Buildings Business, Schneider Electric

usiness owners have heard great advice on how to work smarter and be more energy efficient. Until now, most small to medium size commercial buildings have had no affordable option to implement an energy management system of any scale. And ironically, a large portion of this building-size segment uses more energy per square foot and square meter than any other commercial space.

At Schneider Electric, we embrace the challenge of simultaneously reducing building energy costs AND improving building performance. We believe our midmarket solution can help make energy one of the most controllable expenses in a building without sacrificing comfort.

Schneider Electric’s SmartStruxure Lite solution gives small to medium size buildings affordable, feature-rich technology that offers real energy savings. Equally important this is technology’s operational simplicity and ease of use.

Buildings of less than 100,000 square feet and 10,000 square meters represent 98% of buildings, and 65% of the floor space, of the commercial real-estate market.

It’s time to focus on the growing need in the marketplace for better iBMS solutions for the midmarket. Just because the buildings aren’t the biggest doesn’t mean the challenges of rising energy prices, regulations and the percent of energy consumed by HVAC in these buildings is all that different.

92 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

1. INTRODUCTION People have used Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for centuries to protect themselves while they work, e.g. Blacksmiths have always used a leather aprons; Eskimos wear a heavy parka, gloves and boots; Firemen wear heavy coats and special helmets.

Hazards exist in every workplace. The hazards arise out of use of dangerous substances and from working in certain manufacturing processes and environments. Manual handling and manipulation of dangerous substances should be reduced to the minimum and where possible should be replaced by mechanical means.

The processes should be so designed that during any operation no danger should normally arise to workers engaged there on. Processes which are inherently dangerous should be segregated so that minimum number of workers are exposed to it.This ‘Safe Place’ approach may require, besides substitution of a material with nonhazardous one and isolation of the hazard, addition of safety features to the existing equipment, redesign of the work process or purchase of new equipment.

Inspite of the best efforts to make materials processes and environment safe for workers, situations making it impossible to ensure absolute safety do arise frequently.There areseveraloperations where risks of flying particles of grit and metal,splashes of molten metals,corrosive liquids, and exposures to infra-red,ultra- violet

and other harmful radiations, cannot be altogether eliminated. Physical contact with dangerous chemicals and other dangerous substances cannot be avoided. Exposure to atmospheric contaminants given off during the manufacturing processes cannot be controlled and kept below the permissible levels.During plant shut downs, overhauling, repair, and maintenance work ofthe plant, workers are exposed to various hazards and it is either difficult or impractical to provide conditions which by themselves safe. In such circumstances, it becomes necessary to provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to workers so as to ensure their safety. PPE is designed to be worn by an individual to eliminate or minimise the exposure to injury or illness.Generally, PPE has been designed to be worn on a selected part of the body and can be categorised by the area it protects. Some PPE devices offer protection across one or more categories.The purpose of Personal Protective Equipment is to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. PPE is needed when there are hazards present. PPE has the serious limitations that it does not eliminate the hazards at source and many results in employees being exposed to the hazard if the equipment fails.

risks of injury or illness.According to European Directive (89/686/ EEC), the term “Personal Protective Equipment” covers any item intended for wearing or carrying by the worker with the aim of protecting him from one or more risks likely to cause injury or jeopardize health while at work, in addition to any item or necessary having the same purpose. PPE includes all equipment designed to provide protection to the wearer from potential hazards to the eyes, face, hands, head, feet, ears and extremities.

The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) may be divided into two broad groups viz. (1) Non Respiratory Protective Equipment and (2) Respiratory Protective Equipment. Due to limitations of space, the scope of this article is limited to provide only an outline of the topic.

3. NON - RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT These types of protective equipment are required to protect various parts of the body, such as head, eye & face, ear, hand & arm, foot & leg, and the whole body.

3.1 Head Protection: Head protection means equipment designed to provide protection to the head during exposure to potential hazards such as falling objects, striking against low hanging objects or electrical hazards. Head injuries are commonly caused by impact from falling or flying objects, and falling or walking into hard objects.

PPE devices such as hard hats may

Supplied-air respirators may have either tight-fitting or loose-fitting respiratory inlets.Respirators with tight-fitting respiratory inlets have half or full face pieces. Types with loose-fitting respiratory inlets can be hoods or helmets that cover the head and neck, or loose-fitting face pieces with rubber or fabric side shields.

These are supplied with air through airlines. Examples of SARs include: • self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), • airline supplied-air respirators, • protective suits that totally encapsulate the wearer’s body and incorporate a life-support system.

There are some combinations of airline respirators and SCBAs that allow workers to work for extendedperiods in oxygen-deficient areas or wherethere are airborne toxic contaminants.The auxiliary or backup SCBA source allows the worker to escape with an emergency source of air if the airline source fails.

There are also combination of air-purifyingand atmosphere supplying respirators. These will offer worker protection if the supplied-air system fails, if the appropriate airpurifier units are selected.

the process listed in the schedule to wear personal protective equipment.

List of personal protective equipment to be provided by the occupier in carrying out the dangerous operations (Rules prescribed under Section 87) are listed in Table 1.

It must be remembered that these regulations do not cover all the situations where the use of personal protective equipment will be required. The management has to take into consideration all such situations and take remedial measures.

5.3 Environment Protection Act Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules 1989 framed under the Environment(Protection) Act 1986 of India also stipulate the occupier to provide Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and every MSDS shall provide information regarding the use of Personal Protective Equipment.

6.0 SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PPE Selection and maintenance of Personal Protective Equipment is an important aspect to be looked into while introducing a protection policy.

If a protective device is unattractive, uncomfortable, or is imposed on the workers with little choice in selection, their compliance is likely to be poor. Flexibility in the use of Personal Protective Equipment is important provided that it confirms to proper safety standards. Personal Protective Equipment as a protection strategy is frequently abused and can fail. Sometimes Personal Protective Equipment strategy is not properly introduced or understood. The strategy should be based on: • Protection of workers • Compliance with legal requirements www.ind-safety.com

• Internal company standards • Technical feasibility It requires commitment and active participation at planning, development, and implementation stages from all levels such as: • Senior management • Supervisors • Workers

The greater the worker’s involvement in all stages of the programme, the smoother will be to implement and operate the programme. Compliance in the use of Personal Protective Equipment will improve by adequate consultation with workers and their representatives and the use of the Personal Protective Equipment is made as a required condition of employment Job Safety Analysis is an important technique to assess correct selection of Personal Protective Equipment because some types of hazards require complicated Personal Protective Equipment solutions.

6.1 Selection of PPE Once the need for Personal Protective Equipment has been established, the task is to select proper type of Personal Protective Equipment.

In this connection we may have to consider the degree of protection required and appropriateness of the equipment to the situation. The basic requirements of Personal Protective Equipment are: i.) The equipment should provide adequate protection against the hazard to which the workers is exposed. ii.) The construction and performance of the equipment should confirm to the acceptable standards. iii.) The equipment should be light in weight, compatible with its protective efficiency and should be comfortable to the wearer. iv.) The equipment should not

restrict the essential movements of the wearer. v.) The equipment should be durable and be so designed that its various components can be maintained or replaced easily to ensure good working order.

While selecting the Personal Protective Equipment, the following factors should be considered: i.) Location of the hazard ii.) Nature of hazard iii.) Severity of the hazard iv.) Type of contaminant v.) Concentration of the contaminant vi.) Period for which protection must be provided vii.) Expected activity of the wearer viii.) Operating characteristics and limitations of the equipment 6.2 Maintenance of PPE Without proper maintenance, the effectiveness of the Personal Protective Equipment cannot be assured.The following points to be kept in mind when the maintenance of Personal Protective Equipment is undertaken: Maintenance should include: • Inspection: Inspect PPE before and after each use.

• Care: Take care of PPE at all times.

• Cleanliness: Clean all PPE at all times.

• Repair: Repair damaged or broken PPE. • Storage: Store PPE in clean dry air, free from exposure in sunlight or contaminants.

The manufacturer’s instruction should be followed and replaceable parts should always be available.

It must be remembered here that wearing poorly maintained or malfunctioning personal protective equipment would give a false sense at protection 7.0 TRAINING No programme can be complete

without training to ensure the optimum use of Personal Protective Equipment The component covers how to fit and wear Personal Protective Equipment, how to adjust it for maximum protection and how to care for and maintain it Training can be on an individual basis or in group meetings. Make sure that all users, supervisor, selectors, buyers and storekeepers are trained.

The training programmes should re-emphasize the major goal of the programme and reinforce the fact that engineering controls have been considered as a primary protection strategy. The workers should be informed of the hazards to which they are exposed and why personal protective equipment is necessary.

8.0 CONCLUSION Workers are exposed to serious risks of bodily injury, poisoning and occupational diseases. In any workplace the priority should be in the elimination and control of hazard at their source and along the path between the source and the worker.

Efforts should be made, as far as possible to substitute dangerous substances either by those free from any danger or those which are less dangerous.

The Personal Protective Equipment is designed to protect your limbs, your health and sometimes even your life. However, itshould be kept in mind that the Personal Protective Equipment does not reduce the hazard itself nor does it guarantee permanent or total protection. The Personal Protective Equipment is designed only to interpose an effective barrier between the employees and the harmful substances, processes or environment. Users must be told why Personal Protective Equipment is to be worn and they must be trained in the use of the equipment properly.

Ensure you have been trained in how

102 | SEPTEMBER 2013 | INDUSTRIAL SAFETY REVIEW

to fit, wear and maintain PPE. Also ensure your training programme information that explain when and what PPE should be worn and why it should be worn. The selection and maintenance of personal protective equipment is also an important aspect to be looked into while introducing a protection policy. Choose the PPE you use to match the hazard. Consider the physical comfort of PPE. Ensure the PPE you use meets the standards of Bureau of Indian Standards.
