As the year drew to a close, everyone was busy taking stock of the year gone by. And just like everyone else, I am sure many of you had a very divergent experience of the year that was 2018.

Some of you came out on top, and some ended the year with less than they started. For some, the year was arduous journey that seemed to have no end. Others s ll probably didn't want the year to get over.

It's nothing but an obvious claim that a lot happened in the last year, many major fire accidents took place such as Beaumonde Towers, Cine Vista a film studio, Chemical factory in Asalfa village, Income Tax office, Kothari Mansion and the recent incident of the Kamgar Hospital the reason of the incident happened were some or the point of the negligence which resulted in losing the lives of the innocent people. S ll we have to learn a lot and alert our self for future, make sure for such type of incident should not happen. There is no be er me to make a change than at the beginning of the New Year.

Personally, I have never been a s ckler for resolu ons, they just don't last, but I do believe that the start of a new year is a great me for change - things like a product launch, a new challenges or a fresh outlook.

Make a resolu on put safety and security at the top priority, update yourself and your environment. It is more important to know what not to do, than try and do the next most innova ve thing.

I don't know what stories we'll tell this year. I don't know what experiments we'll try. But I do know this is going to be a new adventure, just as every other year. I hope we all have fun!

We hope the year gone by has been as successful for you as we believe it's been for us, and here's to this one incredible year star ng today. WE SHOULD LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIENCE. Change is simply the only op on to stay afloat during a challenge in the industry.

Industry Insight

Although food is the most important 'daily bread' for human living, cooking of the same can be life taking as well. Whether it's a stove, grill, fryer or any other cooking equipment, LPG and PNG leaks present a constant flammable risk to the workers as well as to the property.

Back in 2017, a fire claimed 12 lives at Bhanu Sweatmeat shop in Saki Naka. Owing to which, BMC had directed all distributers, consumers and commercial establishments to install Gas Leak Detectors at their premises. Despite of such mandatory instruc ons given by BMC, many commercial units are seen viola ng the safety norms even today.

• Food Van gu ed due to LPG gas Leakage - TNN | Dec 4, 2018, 13:21 IST • Five sustain injuries due to leakage in LPG cylinder - TNN | Updated: Oct 31, 2018 • Two serious among 10 injured in LPG blast - TNN | May 31, 2018, 14:47 IST • LPG Gas leakage causes fire in basement, worker injured - TNN | Aug 18, 2018, 11:19 IST • 6 suffer burn injuries in LPG gas cylinder explosion - TNN | Dec 21, 2018, 22:50 IST • Fire at Damu Nagar slum: Over 25 gas cylinders explode; two killed, 2,000 huts gu ed - Mumbai |Updated: December 8, 2015 3:39:42 am Above men oned are few of many other catastrophic cases that happen every year in India. Our passive and lethargic approach towards such disasters has worsen the situa on even further. What we do is: Either install a low quality gas detector and compromise on safety or file an FIR followed by a huge media coverage and some relief amount to the affected families. That's it!!! The root-cause and so the preven ve measures are completely ignored. In order to have an op mum protec on against LPG explosions and mishaps, installing a LPG gas detector of good grade is very crucial.

However, with so many choices available today, it's undoubtedly challenging to pick one that's perfect for your needs.

Ambetronics LPG leak detectors consists of powerful gas sensors that are capable of detec ng even the smallest leak thereby aler ng the workers and the concerned authori es before the situa on gets out of control.

Listed below are the most common ques ons that are asked by our clients: 1. Which Gas Sensor is used in our gas detector?

In order to offer precise gas leak detec on, Ambetronics uses Pellistor/ Cataly c Bead Sensor that are capable of detec ng the concentra on of LPG/ PNG gas in 0 - 100 % LEL range having a resolu on of 1 and an accuracy of ±2% of Full Scale.

January 2019 - www.visionmediahitech.com

Industry Insight 2. Where will the gas sensor be located?

LPG gas is heavier than air and hence at the me of gas leakage it sits to the floor level. Whereas PNG being lighter than air it tries to escape higher to the ceiling.

In order to have an accurate detec on, we recommend to mount our Gas Detector at a distance of: • LPG Gas Detector: 6 inches to 1 feet from the ground surface.

• PNG Gas Detector: 1 feet above to the poten al leakage source of PNG Pipeline.

3. How does the alarming system work?

LPG and PNG gases are highly flammable and explosive above 40% LEL. Hence whenever there is gas leak, it is very crucial to alert the workers as well as the security guards at the earliest. Ambetronics offers an audiovisual alarm that gives out two level indica on using a Hooter cum Flasher. For small kitchen sites, buzzer (with 80db loudness) can be used instead of using a Hooter (of 100db loudness).

4. In case of Gas leak, how will the gas detec on system control the situa on from worsening?

In addi on to the highly sensi ve gas sensors and prompt alarming system that alerts the workers within seconds of gas leakage, Ambetronics gas detec on system also minimizes the risk of damage by: • Automa cally switches ON the Exhaust fan – In order to ven late the kitchen area • Automa cally switches OFF the gas valve – In order to prevent further gas accumula on in air • Our Smart IoT Module (SIM) can send alert messages to concerned kitchen authori es - Informing them remotely about the disastrous situa on even if they are not prevent at the site.

5. Can the gas detec on system withstand the environmental hazards?

Other than the risk of fire & explosion, kitchen areas are also prone harsh environments consis ng of dust, oil fumes, greasy floors, water splashes, etc. Hence to withstand and ensure efficient leak detec on even at such tricky environments, Ambetronics Gas Detectors and Gas Monitors are: • Enclosed in a Flame-Proof Housing made up of Cast Aluminum Alloy, LM-6.

• IP 65 compliant ensuring protec on from water, oil fumes and dust.

6. Are the products cer fied?

To ensure the long life and precise detec on results at the site, Ambetronics offers complete 1 year instrument warranty for its Gas Detectors and Gas Monitors. One year sensor warranty is applicable only at ambient temperature applica ons as the sensor may get damaged at higher concentra on online processes. Our products are PESO, CE, CMRI cer fied.

7. Do we offer technical support?

At Ambetronics we believe in offering op mum detec on solu on and that involves thorough study of the kitchen site and its probable leak areas. Our Services Engineers personally monitor the en re installa on process and are available 365X24X7 for any further support needed.

For the first me Hikvision has offered Ar ficial Intelligence enabled Face Recogni on Terminals a revolu onary product, in India's educa on sector.

As the educa onal scenario changed with me, SRES understood the need and added a number of courses under the umbrella of the Sanjivani Rural Educa on Society (SRES) and consequently it gave birth of the Sanjivani College of Pharmaceu cal Educa on and Research, Sanjivani Senior and Junior College, Sanjivani Academy, a CBSE school and Sanjivani Interna onal school.

Sanjivani Group of Ins tutes situated at Kopargaon, Ahmednagar is a premier ins tute for Engineering, Pharmacy, Nursing and Diploma in Ahmednagar District.

Sanjivani took its names and inspira on from the famous Epic of Ramayana where 'Sanjivani buty' was brought for revival of life. The Sanjivani Rural Educa on Society (SRES), was established by Honorable Shri. Shankarrao Genuji Kolhe in 1983, at Kopargaon, rural domain in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India.

Security Challenges

The en re campus of the Sanjivani Group of Ins tutes is spread out in more than 100 acres land. There are different departments in various buildings, playgrounds, Hostels and staff quarters. Due to vast area and having no. of approx.

8000-1000 students, it's very difficult for management to iden fy unauthorized person inside the campus. In the past, many instances of bullying, robbery, the , ragging and pickpocke ng were reported.

January 2019 - www.visionmediahitech.com

Securing the Campus With the expansion of the Sanjivani Group, there were many challenges faced by students and staff in terms of safety and security. "Consequently, we took our first step towards it by installing Hikvision IP CCTV surveillance in all our campus areas for monitoring. We were using it for the last three to four years and ll date we have never faced major issues regarding the same, there might have been some minor issues, but with the assistance of Hikvision's Technical Support Team & System Integrator, we were able to resolve it within span of a day.

Premiere: First VdS-Approved High-Expansion Foam Generator L e s s t h a n a ye a r a e r t h e publica on of the revised VdSGuidelines for foam ex nguishing systems, the first high-expansion foam generator, developed by the Dutch manufacturer InnoVfoam, has now been approved.

The demand for high-expansion foam ex nguishing systems is increasing, e.g. for the protec on of warehouses and storage areas. Their advantage: Fast flooding mes, low water content in the ex nguishing agent and thus minimised damage in case of emergency.

At the beginning of 2018, the fundamentally revised VdSGuidelines for foam ex nguishing systems (VdS 2108) with new specifica ons specifically for the design and use of high-expansion foam technologies were published.

Now, the first high-expansion foam generator has been VdS-approved: the development “Hi-Ex 600” by the Dutch company InnoVfoam B.V. Mr. Frank Bzdega, head of the VdS laboratories for 20

ex nguishing systems and SHEVS, explains: “While many parts of high-expansion foam systems can be configured analogously to the tried-and-tested sprinkler technology, the foam generator is the crux of ma er for this concept if it doesn´t work reliably at all mes, the en re system won´t save anything or anyone. With the InnoVfoam generator, the important high-expansion foam technology in accordance with VdS 2108 can now be implemented with approved components an important step towards op mum protec on.”

Mr. Johan Koekkoek, Managing Director of the manufacturer, emphasises: “We are very pleased that the high reliability of our product can now be verified at first glance clearly proven by Europe's most important cer ficate for fire protec on.

The strong foaming performance of the Hi-Ex 600 was validated at various pressure levels, and of course the VdS-test package also included clear confirma on of its resistance to ageing and environmental influences. In short: The Hi-Ex is there when it counts and ex nguishes efficiently with low water influx”.

From Reactive to Proactive Perimeter Protection with Hikvision Turbo HD PIR Cameras targets without human body IR emission.

This way, filtering false alarms reduces storage space and costs, and it also means more efficient post-event footage search.

From towers and moats to modern walls and wire mesh, physical perimeter for fica ons have been around for millennia. Today's technology brings us various types of electronic perimeter protec on systems, mainly detec ng or possibly preven ng would-be intruders from crossing over into protected areas.

Now, most tradi onal perimeter protec on systems use ac ve infrared detec on. However, this type of detec on method falls short in stability and reliability. Just before an intrusion happens, or while it is happening, tradi onal IR cannot make accurate predic ons, and, lacking video data, it can be rather difficult to locate key alarm points.

Furthermore, terrain, environment, and other factors o en cause under repor ng, false alarms, or other inaccurate results.

In order to resolve these problems, Hikvision's Turbo HD Passive Infrared (PIR) Camera uses advanced video surveillance technologies to improve alarm accuracy and prevent intrusions.

As a result, perimeter protec on jumps to a whole new level for residen al areas, around factories, warehouses, schools and other se ngs.

The most striking features of this camera are the rapid response rate and alarm accuracy when suspicious people cross established perimeters.

The camera has a built-in PIR detector that captures infrared light given off by human bodies and dis nguishes it from other visual "noise." It can be equipped with Hikvision's Turbo HD K series DVR's mo on detec on to filter false alarms caused by moving

28

In addi on, the camera features a strong and immediate deterrent by producing a flashing white strobe light that serves as a warning signal to stop intruders. And with ultra lowlight technology, the white light serves as supplemental ligh ng, enabling the camera to capture clear images of suspects as evidence when the alarm is triggered, even in extremely dark environments.

Hikvision's Turbo HD PIR Camera can be used with the Hikvision's Turbo HD K-Series DVRs for perimeter protec on, with both the intrusion warning func on and its ability to keep an eye on monitoring areas in real- me with front end devices. When an intrusion occurs, it can issue a warning immediately and no fy security personnel to go right to the scene. In some cases, intruders will be deterred and leave - thus crime can be prevented, not just detected.

The camera can support a broad range of perimeter protec on and security system processes for pre-warning, warning in process, and evidence collec on a er an event.

It has truly improved monitoring func ons, surpassing the tradi onal "post-event inves ga on" approach, and helps changing perimeter protec on from passive monitoring to ac ve deterrence, protec ng people and assets.

Court to Police: Why Aren't Details of Road Accident Uploaded Online?

Says it would Ensure Transparency to Victims for Securing Compensation The Madras High Court on Friday called for an explana on from the police on the allega on of not uploading crucial details related to motor accident cases on the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) web portal though such disclosure would assist in ensuring a transparent process to claim compensa on.

Jus ce P.N. Prakash directed B. Shridevi, Addi onal Superintendent of Police, State Crime Records Bureau, to be present in the court on December 20 to explain the charge that the police deliberately do not upload mobile phone number of accident vic ms and motor vehicle inspectors' reports on the CCTNS portal for extraneous reasons.

The judge also ordered issuance of no ce to Advocate General Vijay Narayan so that he could get instruc ons from the government as to why there was a delay in amending the rules related to motor accident claims and giving legal approval to the CCTNS online pla orm that had now been put in place to ensure transparency.

Directions issued He issued further direc on to all motor accident claims tribunals in the State to upload the deposi ons of witnesses in the Case Informa on System website maintained for District Court related services, as was being done by the City Civil Court, so that the li gants concerned could peruse those deposi ons and even take printouts if necessary.

The orders were passed on a case related to the disappearance of 55 cases bundles of a par cular lawyer from a motor accident claims tribunal situated within the High Court campus.

Jus ce Prakash had ordered a Crime Branch-Criminal Inves ga on Department (CB-CID) inquiry into the issue and the inves gators had almost zeroed in on the culprits.

A er perusing a status report filed by them, the judge said: "It may not be appropriate for this court to express anything beyond this, at this juncture, as there is every likelihood of the suspects ge ng scent and escaping from the clutches of law. Therefore, this court perused the report and the case diary and returned both to the inves ga ng officer for safe custody.”

Motor accident claims tribunals should upload deposi ons of witnesses in the Case Informa on System website.

New NFPA Standard Issued for Public Safety Drone Operations The NFPA 2400 Standard underscores the need for an sUAS coordinator and the importance of knowing airspace requirements, weather condi ons, crew readiness benchmarks, resource needs, incident command systems, regulatory requirements, and communica on strategies.

The Na onal Fire Protec on Associa on recently issued its first unmanned robo cs guidance for first responders and others. NFPA 2400®, Standard for Small Unmanned Aircra Systems (sUAS) Used for Public Safety Opera ons, was developed by representa ves from public safety departments with unmanned aircra systems drones including the fire service, law enforcement, and emergency medical services.

NFPA's release describes the standard standard as "an allencompassing standard that applies to all public safety departments that operate sUAS, providing much-needed guidance as drone usage rises. It also gives departments the informa on and knowledge needed to develop a comprehensive sUAS program based on an en ty's opera on type while iden fying poten al risks associated with deployment.”

It says the standard underscores the need for an sUAS coordinator and the importance of knowing airspace requirements, weather condi ons, crew readiness benchmarks, resource needs, incident command systems, regulatory requirements, and communica on strategies.

The standard breaks down aerial integra on into three main elements: 1. sUAS organiza onal deployment and considera ons, which addresses mission objec ves, program development, purchase specifica on, risk assessment, and mul ple aircra opera ons.

2. Professional qualifica ons, providing minimum job performance requirements of a remote pilot in command (RPIC) and visual observer. Essen al job tasks are listed so a curriculum can be developed and RPICs/visual observers can be trained in accordance with public safety and emergency responder requirements.

38

3. Maintenance program responsibili es, emphasizing record keeping, discrepancy repor ng, rou ne cleaning, upkeep due to opera onal applica ons and the opera ng environment, and storage requirements so program coordinators can run an effec ve program.

"NFPA 2400 provides an ANSI-accredited road map for public safety en es to create a drone program that is based on the most current industry knowledge," said Michael Wixted, the staff liaison to NFPA 2400. "The standard is designed to help public safety officials define criteria, understand program elements, train staff accordingly, and plan for various scenarios long before a drone program launches or any technology takes flight.”

The release says the request for a small unmanned aircra system standard for public safety opera ons began in August 2016.

The standard's developers included 46 professionals from fire service organiza ons such as IAFC, IAFF, the California State Firefighters' Associa on, FDNY, and county fire and rescue departments, along with representa ves from sheriffs' departments, IAB, DHS, ALEA, police founda ons, metropolitan units, the Department of Transporta on, Private Ambulance Companies, NIST, Manufacturing, Avia on, and Consultancies.

Fires Happen: It's Time to Act. under high 720psi / 49bar pressure.

(Other suppressant clean agents such as FM-200® and Novec™1230 are becoming more widely used.) One of the highest probabili es of discharge occurs during their maintenance. Some marine service companies es mate that 20% of a ship's CO2 cylinders have discharged or par ally leaked their contents at some point in their life me.

At sea, fire pose one the of biggest threat to ships: according to Lloyds List, almost 10% of all total losses at sea for the last ten years have been caused by fire. Sailing alone and at sea throughout the year, and without the ability to call upon the emergency services as a land-based asset might. As vessels become larger and more sophis cated, a greater financial interest is ed up into one ship, meaning that the risks are magnified if the vessel would get into difficul es e.g. a fire.

"Ships are their Own Fire Brigade" Misunderstanding exists across parts of Shipping regarding the applica on of a part of the Interna onal Mari me Organisa on, Safety of Life at Sea, Fire Safety Systems (IMO SOLAS FSS) Code; the need for crew to test the contents of their CO2, FM-200® & NOVEC™ 1230 Gaseous Ex nguishing Systems in between the periodic inspec on, maintenance and cer fica on intervals.

These periodic inspec ons are conducted annually or biennially, and only by an Accredited Service Agent i.e. an external Marine Servicing Company. As stated above, the reason the IMO requires crew to test for contents in-between these is that the "ship sails alone"; it must act as its own emergency fire service.

What are the Risks?

A ship's gaseous ex nguishing system typically comprises between 200 and 600 cylinders each containing 45KG of CO2

Taking CO 2 systems through as an example, although random checks may be suitable in some sectors, it is worth remembering that because the normal design concentra on of CO2 of 34 - 72 v/v % is above the nearly immediate acute lethality level, these systems have an extremely narrow safety margin. As these systems work through oxygen dilu on rather than the chemical disrup on of the cataly c combus on chain (which is the case with other clean agents), insufficient oxygen levels during an accidental discharge may allow a situa on to spiral out of hand.

"Co2 Bo les Leak” Yet although this poses high levels of risk to the service companies and the crew, because gaseous ex nguishing systems are highly pressurised, the risk of leaking and discharging is accepted as part of their use and this is shown in the regula ons that demand their upkeep e.g. IMO SOLAS FSS Ch5. 2.1.1.3:"Means shall be provided for the crew to safely check the quan ty of the fire ex nguishing medium in the container.”

January 2019 - www.safesecuremagazine.com

O en this is misunderstood, this code specifically states that the crew must test their ex nguishing installa ons in between the periodic inspec on, maintenance and cer fica on. Only h av i n g t h e a n n u a l i n s p e c o n by accredited marine servicing companies is not enough - the crew must take responsibility for its own fire protec on.

However, what must be noted is that the crew are o en not trained or cer fied to shut-down, dismantle, weigh and re-install the gaseous cylinders - the tradi onal method.

A Call for Crew to Inspect Fire System Cylinder Contents Using an ultrasonic liquid level indicator, the Portalevel® MAX Marine, is the only way that the crew can safely test their CO2 without disturbing them. If marine companies implemented the IMO SOLAS FSS codes by tes ng safely and quickly (just 30-60 seconds per cylinder) by using liquid level indicators and marine servicing companies were able to do their work without allowing for me pressures, then marine safety would be far safer.

Bad industry prac ce is unacceptable when fire risk may have catastrophic results due to risk to life, down me in opera on due to ship safety and repair work and incalculable reputa onal damage. The crew, cargo and vessel must be protected when at sea because it is it's own fire brigade without accessibility to typical emergency services. This is a call to respond to regula ons with a rigorous a tude, to go above and beyond, to provide security of life and infrastructure.

CCTV Control Room Operator Selection - A Best Practice Guide

By Arindam Bhadra A Doctor; A Teacher; An Environmentalist. There is one common motivation why you would choose one of these careers to help people.

But there's one more career that sits in the background and doesn't get as much limelight as it probably deserves.

BS EN 50132-7: 2012 and BS EN 62676-4 clause 12.1 state: “If the CCTV (closed circuit television) system has a requirement for live viewing, camera control, system management, or any other human intensive tasks, a control room should be specified to house these func ons.

The 'control room' could be a single worksta on, or a large opera ons centre." The effec veness of Video surveillance / CCTV control rooms is influenced by a variety of factors.

CCTV operators are usually technology buffs who love the technological side of Video surveillance systems.

CCTV operators at CCTV Control Room face several issues ranging from poor a en on span, video blindness, fa gue, boredom, lack of situa onal awareness, bias and false alerts.

There is, however, another side to the CCTV Video surveillance sector that the world desperately needs. Keeping people safe from harm and maintaining order in our society has become a lot easier as CCTV technology advances.

However, the 'human factor' within the CCTV system is equally as important in achieving the objec ves of the CCTV func on. The capacity of the person selected in any job will determine the success of that person in the posi on, no ma er what kind of environment it is. I've heard it men oned that CCTV is as simple as watching TV, including by a senior police officer in the India who should have known be er. Similarly, the placement of contract guards into CCTV positons when they have received no training and don't know what to look for is also common. Where detec on is cri cal will know that the operator is the most essen al part in CCTV service delivery. "Cameras never lie". but, how will you know? 'see' what the cameras 'saw'. Do audit your CCTV-why suffer?

The CCTV Control room should be set up, or redesigned, according to a CCTV opera onal requirements plan and the

CCTV room staff, as end-users, should par cipate in this process.

BS EN ISO 11064-1 says Ergonomic design of control centres Principles for the design of control centres.

A CCTV video footage auditor can be defined as one who audits, reviews, examines closely, CCTV footage daily, at periodical intervals, with an intent to discover the 'unknown'. Using all the tools available at her/his disposal, she/he 'looks out' for excep ons, process viola ons, abnormali es, performance lapses, behavioral pa erns, poten al threats, risks and so on.

She/he de-bugs bytes of visual informa on mul -tasks by comparing past cases. 'Audi ng' means 'seeing' what the cameras 'saw'. CCTV video footage should be audited daily; several mes a day if need be. Depending on the requirements, audi ng of CCTV footage of cri cal cameras on a daily basis must become an SOP. “The capacity of the person selected in any job will determine the success of that person.” Says Mr. Shankar Mallik, Director - Uma Enterprise. Leading System integrator Security Automa on field.

Selec on of CCTV Operators The selec on of CCTV operators should follow a formal process and be based on a sound analysis of the job tasks.

It is acknowledged that in some cases CCTV operators are selected and employed by third party contractors. Nevertheless, there may s ll be opportuni es for CCTV managers to influence the appointment and training of these individuals.

Selec ng the right people for the CCTV operator role will help to maximize the mo va on and job performance of the operator team. Within larger organiza ons the recruitment and selec on of

personnel is o en the responsibility of the human resources func on. However, depending on the context, managers may exert a degree of influence on the selec on process for CCTV room staff. CCTV roles will differ across sites, and the actual job requirements should flow from the organisa on's goals and the opera onal requirements of the CCTV room. In line with this, the selec on process should begin with a suitable examina on of what the role entails via an analysis of the job.

Job Profile could be: • Si ng in front of a bank of up to 15 screens, constantly monitoring the live pictures that come in from the surveillance cameras • Opera ng the posi on of the cameras, for example if a cash machine is about to be emp ed, you would focus the camera on the security guard • Monitoring anyone ac ng suspiciously, and aler ng security staff or police if you see an act of the , vandalism or any other crime • Monitoring cleaning staff working in large empty buildings for their safety • No fying the police of any an -social behaviour • Keeping a log of all incidents to pass onto police • Called to give evidence in court as a witness.

Job Analysis: Job analysis is designed to produce systema c and reliable informa on about a par cular role. It provides the basis for wri ng an accurate job descrip on, will assist in developing a structured interview and serve as a basis for any selec on tests which might be used. The aim of the job analysis is to derive a comprehensive list of job tasks, how they are carried out and the worker characteris cs – ap tudes, skills and experience – which are necessary to perform them. As well as covering the current role it is a good idea to consider how the job may change in the foreseeable future. The organisa on's human resources department may have a preferred method for carrying out job analyses. For the CCTV operator role (compared to say, a senior management role) the job analysis may not need to be very complex. Since any amount of footage from any given day could be required at any given me, properly storing footage is one of the most important roles of a CCTV Operator. Storage policy can vary slightly from company to company, but in general CCTV Operators will need to correctly catalog all footage so that it can be easily recalled at a later me.

interviews have been found to be twice as valid (i.e. predic ve of future job performance) than unstructured interviews.

Tests Tests fall broadly into two categories. The first category includes tests of cogni ve ability such as ap tude tests and tests of general mental ability (for example numerical reasoning, verbal and nonverbal reasoning, visualspa al abili es). The second consists of personality tests that aim to measure personal traits and preferences; for example a person who measures high on the trait of 'conscien ousness' is likely to demonstrate a reasonable level of persistence when performing a variety of tasks.

Operator Skills Successful CCTV Operators are mindful, alert and scrupulous individuals who are highly dedica ng to protec ng others.

In addi on to having a talent for all things technical, they also have the ability to quickly iden fy pa erns and abnormali es.

In addi on to these general personality traits and abili es, employers are looking for CCTV Operators with the following skills: • Surveillance System Knowledge: Because extensive knowledge of video surveillance systems is to crucial to the job of a CCTV Operator, many employers required CCTV Operators to have video surveillance cer fica on of some kind.

• A en on to Detail: CCTV Operators must be able to iden fy small, seemingly insignificant details that most people would overlook. This ability allows them to keep the area as safe as possible.

• Ability to Mul task: Even when a CCTV Operator receives a phone call or has to speak to a colleague, they must always be keeping an eye on the monitors.

• Ability to Work Independently: For the most part, CCTV Operators will not be required to interact with very many people. Because of this, it is important that they're able to work and stay alert without constant supervision.

• Communica on Skills: Since CCTV Operators will occasionally have to give statements to police officers, communicate with emergency services or even appear in court, they need to have strong wri en and verbal communica on skills.

Training Training is important for mo va on and performance and should be designed to meet opera onal needs. Where CCTV operators are employed directly by the organiza on /site at which they work, there will be greater scope for influencing training in comparison to where the operator/guard force func on is subSelec on Process Once the job has been adequately defined, selec on of contracted to an external organiza on.

ques onnaires with job incumbents and other stakeholders.

Exis ng job analyses/person analyses may not be up to date so it could be worth taking a current view of the job role.

Since the exact role of a CCTV operator will differ from organisa on to organisa on, detailed training needs will necessarily differ. However, as a minimum, it is recommended that training should cover the areas in the following list.

• Relevant SIA training • Induc on into the CCTV role, CCTV team and the wider organiza on Opera on of all CCTV room equipment Team building with the immediate team.

• Detailed knowledge of camera posi ons and of the site(s) to be monitored – in prac ce this means ge ng out and 'walking the plot' wherever possible – including visits to remotely monitored sites.

• Detailed knowledge of camera posi ons and of the site(s) to be monitored – in prac ce this means ge ng out and 'walking the plot' wherever possible – including visits to remotely monitored sites.

• Knowledge of the current nature and level of security threat to the site(s) – CPNI can provide advice on this.

• Knowledge of the nature of unwanted or suspicious behaviours/incidents as they relate to the site.

• Knowledge of the current nature and level of security threat to the site(s) – CPNI can provide advice on this.

Knowledge of the nature of unwanted or suspicious behaviors/incidents as they relate to the site.

• Understanding of the role of relevant external teams, agencies and/or networks. It can be beneficial to operate a policy requiring operators to regularly visit members of the team who are based 'on the ground' in the site being monitored, or even those in related agencies or organiza ons.

• Prepara on for emergencies. Such training is o en achieved using incident simula ons / scenarios that a empt to model the condi ons of a real emergency.

Spa al Awareness We find that o en the 80/20 rule applies in surveillance, with about 80% of the incidents being detected by 20% of personnel. I can o en see the mo va on differences within the training environment as well where people commi ed to detec on have a different philosophy. So one of the first criteria I would want in any operator who would work for me would be to be able to demonstrate a history of detec on.

Not 'we detected' which o en covers up a lack of individual involvement, but 'I detected'. By keeping an eye on them, criminals can be stopped the moment they want to perform a crime. The increased a en on may even stop them in their tracks. A CCTV operator who is mo vated by his or her moral values finds excessive joy in using expert skills to protect people and their possessions in public venues. Good quality

cameras and monitors, along with effec ve placement, will allow operators to observe the environment well and support their ability to understand the loca on and likely direc on of targets during a dynamic incident – i.e. maintain 'spa al awareness'.

Spa al awareness is an understanding of our loca on in space and the organisa on of objects around us. What operators need to see in the environment will depend on their tasks, which should link to the opera onal requirements of the control room. Ideal specifica on and posi oning of cameras is dependent on opera onal requirements but also on what an operator needs to complete a task successfully.

Leadership and Management Research indicates that highly mo vated employees perform be er and show more commitment to the organisa on than unmo vated employees. The way that people are managed and led can significantly affect their percep ons about their job, and in turn their job mo va on. Mo va on can be a personal trait (i.e. be part of someone's personality) but it is strongly influenced by elements of the job itself. It is also associated with the rewards a person receives from doing the job. Rewards include the personal sa sfac on from a job well-done, as well as recogni on from the organisa on's customers, team members and managers.

The minimum recommenda on here is that first line supervisors and/or managers should receive formal leadership training which is aimed at achieving effec ve team and individual performance and which is appropriate for the context in which they work.

Appraisal Regular appraisals help encourage employee mo va on and maintain commitment. At minimum: • Appraisers should receive appropriate training for conduc ng company appraisals.

• Appraisals should iden fy mutually acceptable performance and development goals. These individual goals are o en linked to the goals of the team, department and/or organiza on • Appraisals may or may not be linked with rewards (including pay); however where they are linked with rewards care should be taken to ensure that the process of reward distribu on is systema c and fair, and also perceived as such by all team members Pay The figures below are only a guide. Actual pay rates may vary, depending on: • where you work.

• the size of the company or organiza on you work for.

• the demand for the job.

CCTV operators can earn from around ₹ 14,500 to ₹ 15,800 per month. With experience, this could raise to ₹ 17,000 per month basis. You may get a shi allowance.

The Potential of Biometrics Understand its uses for Banking Customers and Employees Many financial ins tu ons are looking to biometrics to enhance customer trust and convenience, and for securing the bank enterprise and facili es. Proper implementa on is cri cal. Geography and Culture ma er, there is no silver bullet, and there are mul ple modali es available, from face to vein. When implemen ng biometrics solu ons there are a number of issues to consider choices to make, and implementa on direc ons to take, each with their own implica ons for fulfilling the promise of biometrics authen ca on.

Security and Trust One of the biggest challenges facing banks is how to provide secure and trusted services while substan ally improving customer experience. We are reminded in headline a er headline that fraud is an ever-present and increasing threat, but the value of consumer trust is no less important.

Paramount to establishing complete trust in transac ons is a focus on the customer experience, and bank customers are demanding a seamless and consistently sa sfying experience across all service channels. Employees also want a be er user experience while their employers demand security.

These twin goals of security and convenience must be achieved without increasing cost or complica ng the compliance process.

Biometrics solu ons meet these needs, enabling banks to cul vate customer loyalty and boost acquisi on. They can also be used to improve the employee experience and efficiency.

Plus, biometric solu ons can offer the simultaneous benefit of suppor ng mul ple strong authen ca on methods. For instance, in the consumer space, as EMV enhanced the security of the card, so biometrics can enhance the security of the PIN-while crea ng a much more convenient experience for the bank customer. Other mix-and-match authen ca on op ons include card and biometric, phone and biometric, and "deviceless" solu ons that combine an account number and biometric. Biometrics solu ons also enhance produc vity through faster transac ons and the elimina on of passwords.

44

When biometrics is used for customer authen ca on it improves convenience while reducing fraud. Solu ons can be used across mul ple channels, from online and mobile banking to transac ons at the ATM, the teller, a call center and a safe deposit box. Key ques ons to ask include where the authen ca on will take place - at the teller and, if so, is the implementa on fixed or mobile? When using biometric sensors on mobile applica ons, it is important to know that there are major varia ons in liveness detec on-if it even exists today on the phone. Biometrics also can be used for employee authen ca on. In these applica ons, solu ons enhance produc vity and security. Applica ons include logical access for networks, shared worksta ons, call centers and remote applica ons. Biometrics also can be used for transac on verifica on in applica ons including working with customer records and processing approvals. Finally, biometrics authen ca on is ideal for controlling physical access to ATMs, branches and safe boxes. Ci bank is already using fingerprint biometrics for employee logon to ease password frustra ons, which also enhances the customer impression that security is taken seriously.

There are many choices of biometric modali es, from face, iris and vein to voice and either conven onal or mul spectral fingerprint. Choosing between these and other op ons requires an evalua on of their compara ve ease of use, ability to detect fakes, interoperability, and if needed-the modality's availability for mobile applica ons. Fingerprint is one of the most popular modali es, with Development forecas ng that demand in consumer applica ons will push total volume shipments.

Realizing the Full Benefits of Fingerprint Biometrics The most effec ve deployment of any biometric modality requires the right capabili es for image capture, liveness detec on, and reliable template matching. A recent study by the research a firm describes a new way to evaluate fingerprint technologies in user-focused commercial applica ons like banking, where security-focused biometric

performance criteria have tradi onally been used to cer fy, rank, and differen ate between fingerprint technologies.

More important for these public-facing applica ons are ease of use, availability, and convenience, which depend on three key issues: the quality of the biometric data that is captured, the use of liveness detec on to enhance trust, and the level of matching performance and interoperability across different devices.

Image is everything in any biometric. Bad images lead to bad decisions. Many customers choose sensors that use mul spectral imaging because it collects informa on about the sub-surface fingerprint in order to augment available surface fingerprint data. The skin is illuminated at different depths to deliver much richer data about the surface and sub-surface features of the fingerprint. Addi onally, the sensor is able to collect data from the finger even if the skin has poor contact with the sensor because of environmental condi ons or finger contamina on. Mul spectral sensors also have an uncoated glass platen that resists damage from harsh cleaning products. Equally important is liveness detec on, or the ability to detect fake fingerprints.

This capability influences both security and privacy protec on. Security is sensor-dependent, with some modali es more resistant to spoofs than others. The most resistant sensors facilitate a real me determina on that the biometric characteris cs presented are genuine and are being presented by the legi mate owner, rather than someone impersona ng them. This requires the use of advanced machine learning algorithms so that the solu on can adapt and respond to new threats and spoofs as they are iden fied. With this technology in place, privacy is also protected - if you can't use a fake finger, then even if you did obtain someone's fingerprint data, it is meaningless.

Furthermore, if the data is useless, why would fraudsters try to capture it? Strong and updatable liveness protec on is absolutely cri cal if biometrics are to eliminate the need to use PINs or passwords.

Systems must be implemented correctly with regards to data, encryp on and the overall system architecture, with requirements dependent on mul ple factors. For example, where does the biometric template reside? How and where is enrolment performed? Will the authen ca on point be fixed or must it be mobile? There are several backend implementa on choices to consider, including match on

January 2019 - www.safesecuremagazine.com

ATM PC, match on phone, match on sensor and match on server. Each has its own pros and cons and the addi onal op on of encryp ng with tamper resistance.

For instance, the match-on-phone approach offers the advantages of a simplified backend. The user chooses the biometrics modality, is trained to use it, and controls the template. The phone's biometric sensor does it all-captures the fingerprint, checks liveness, and generates the template.

But, as men oned earlier, "cons" include varying degrees of spoof protec on, if it is even available. Plus, there is a consolida on of all authen ca on channels in one device that is beyond the control of the bank.

In comparison, by using a fingerprint sensor located on the ATM, banks can choose to do match-on-ATM, match-insensor, or match on a bank's secure servers with an encrypted channel and tamper protec on that is extremely secure and trusted, similar to the encrypted pin pad or EPP in use today. The fingerprint sensor in the ATM is responsible for capture, liveness checking and live template genera on.

There is central administra on of enrolment templates that are held on the bank's secure servers. If that match is done on the ATM PC or in the sensor itself, the template is only sent once, even if the user retries the process. This reduces network traffic. Cryptography prevents any man-in-themiddle a acks and also protects the biometric database.

Using mul spectral fingerprint biometrics located on the ATM is par cularly popular, especially in South America. It is used for fingerprint authen ca on at the ATM and can be deployed in PIN replacement or cardless implementa ons.

In Brazil, this approach is responsible for 4 billion transac ons a year at over 85,000 ATMs. Five of the six largest banks in Brazil use this approach.

Biometrics solu ons are becoming increasingly important across all banking channels. Convenience can be as valuable as fraud reduc on, but there is no silver bullet and customers need choice. Pilots must be large for ins tu ons to understand the true performance of the planned biometrics solu on. Ul mately, picking a biometric sensor designed for the task and a proper implementa on will mean the difference between success and failure.

Implemented correctly, today's solu ons enable ins tu ons to fight financial fraud without forfei ng convenience, and deliver security while preserving trust in transac ons.

Risk Assessment: A Neglected Tool for Health, Safety, and Environment Management Risk assessment has become a standard phrase in h e a l t h , s a fe t y, a n d e n v i r o n m e n t ( H S E ) management over the last couple of decades.

Although many people have heard of it, not so many know what it really means.

Risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examina on of what, in our work, could cause harm to people, so that we can weigh up whether we have taken enough precau ons or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. It involves iden fying the hazards present in any undertaking (whether arising from work ac vi es or from other factors, e.g. the layout of the premises) and then evalua ng the extent of the risks involved, taking into account exis ng precau ons.

Unknown, hidden, undetected or unrelated risks cause more uneasiness. Moreover, employees use their own procedures when not being directed or when not being supervised. We look for unsafe condi ons but not for unsafe acts, may be because of ignorance, arrogance, apathy or complacency.

We need to uncover unsafe prac ces during our rounds to understand the reasons for such prac ces.

WHAT WE FIND DEPENDS UPON WHAT WE LOOK FOR? The results of a suitable and sufficient risk assessment would help users to choose which good preven ve / correc ve prac ce measures a re m o st a p p ro p r i ate . T h e m a i n u s e o f quan ta ve analysis is to understand risk and how best to reduce it and not to prove that something is safe.

Our ability to eliminate or control risks depends en rely on our ability to iden fy/ an cipate them. Risk cannot be managed or addressed unless it is first iden fied. Risk assessment is a proac ve process, not a reac ve one-prepare for risks before they happen. Iden fy risks and develop appropriate risk mi ga ng strategies before things go wrong.

48

WE CAN CHANGE THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH PEOPLE WORK It is important for all of us to be aware of the inten ons behind risk assessment.

Many employers view risk assessment as mere legal/statutory requirement or as a cer fica on requirement and are contented to have few pieces of paper with a few notes on it. This is not sufficient. It should also be understood that severity of a risk cannot be reduced. We can only bring down the probability or likelihood down to an acceptable level.

WHY IS RISK ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT? It is a first step towards systema c, successful occupa onal HSE management.

We start of by ge ng basics right.

The only alterna ve to risk management is crisis management and crisis management is more expensive, me consuming, and embarrassing.

A risk is something that can be a problem in the future. Risks may turn into problems. We can reduce or avoid future problems by reducing their probabili es or consequences.

It is important to know the risks and to ensure that there is a real reduc on in the exposure of workers and we are just not replacing one risk with another.

There is a risk in everything we do. As individuals we carry out risk assessments subconsciously all the me, for example, where, how, and when to cross the road. We do these assessments quickly, and we base them on experience, the available informa on, common sense, and our own judgment.

Risk assessment is a con nuous process!

IT IS NOT ABOUT: Stopping people from doing things, Crea ng long, complex, and bureaucra c arrangements.

IT IS ABOUT: Iden fying ways of enabling people to do things in a safe way, Iden fying prac cal steps to protect people from the risks that cause real harm and suffering.

Quality of risk assessment will depend upon resources availability, informa on, training, experience, support, me devoted, involvement, mo va on and interest of the team, and its composi on.

Employees, at mes, out of helplessness, voluntarily or habitually accept risks and suffer unnecessarily. Risks also creep in when they are accepted due to familiarity or satura on.

Ignorance and indifference are the worst enemies which can be corrected only by raising awareness and by con nuous training. Ignorance, apathy, "Chalata Hai" a tude,"Not my Job" philosophy, and poor mo va on create problems during effec ve management of HSE. "In most disasters there was obvious prior warning of what could occur but management failed to act. Most root causes are associated with weaknesses, defects, or breakdowns in Management Systems. "Accidents are not due to lack of knowledge, but failure to use the knowledge we have.”

Many businesses think that undertaking risk assessment is a difficult and complicated process, and as a result, it is o en misunderstood. For this reason many companies employ third party consultants to complete a series of assessments and prepare the required documenta on, which is neither understood nor read by anybody in the company and is finally deposited in a remote cupboard/bookshelf never to be opened/read ll next audit.

Hazard iden fica on and risk assessment methodologies vary greatly across industries, ranging from simple assessment to complex quan ta ve analyses with extensive documenta on.

Individual hazards may require that different methods be used, e.g. an assessment of long term exposure to chemicals may need a different method than that taken for equipment safety or for assessing an office worksta on. Each organiza on should choose approaches that are appropriate to its scope, nature, and size, and which meet its needs in terms of detail, complexity, me, cost, and availability of reliable data. Taken together, the chosen approaches should result in a comprehensive methodology for the ongoing evalua on of the organiza on's risk.

evaluated. The informa on arising from the risk assessment must be shared with the appropriate persons.

MONITOR AND REVIEW THE FINDINGS It is important to perform and use evalua on as a way to assess which aspects of the interven ons were successful and which were not, and to see what works best for the specific establishment.

Assess the effec veness of the control measures ensure that the risks have been appropriately reduced and that other hazards have not been created. Ways of working change, and so do hazards and risks.

When a significant change takes place, check to make sure that there are no new hazards that need addressing. Repeat the risk assessment when necessary.

COMMUNICATE The biggest problem with communica on is the illusion that it has been accomplished. Tell people what you are doing. Talk to the worker representa ves. Involve them in the risk assessment process and tell them what you are doing to reduce risk. Par cipa on makes them accountable as well.

THE NEED FOR REGULAR MANAGEMENT REVIEWS AND LOOK FOR CHANGING RISKS The tone from the top is important with appropriate decisions based on regular review. Risk assessment is not a one-off event. It is (or should be) a con nuous event that reacts to change.

Conduct Review if there is a reason to believe that it is no longer valid, There has been a significant change in the ma ers to which it relates.

It is good prac ce for assessments to be reviewed at regular intervals as well to ensure that changes have not slipped through.

Most systems fail not because of inherent flaws but because nobody is making sure they are maintained and linked to all other programs and systems.

Consequences of failure are becoming less and less permissible due to enormous repercussions.

We are creatures of habit; find a way to sustain the focus and it will become second nature.

BUT WHAT IF THE ASSESSMENT IS FLAWED? WHERE DO WE FAIL? WHAT SHOULD WE DO AFTER WE HAVE CARRIED OUT A RISK ASSESSMENT? Take Ac on!

A risk (high, medium or low) is the chance that somebody will be harmed by the hazard (e.g. the likelihood of somebody falling off a ladder or suffering an electric shock).

It is a nonstop race where newer and newer hazards are introduced every day with changes in technology and with newer inven ons. We may have to look at newer developments such as nano technology, biotechnology, communica ons technology, etc. carefully and understand them be er to proac vely work for elimina ng/reducing their risks.

Interven ons should be agreed with the workforce (either directly or through worker safety representa ves). The agreed solu ons should be carefully implemented, monitored, and

Legionella and Its Effect: Water Safety Legionella pneumophilla is a deadly pneumonia causing bacterium, Which if inhaled by humans, can lead to fatal respiratory disease. It causes Pon ac fever and Legionnaires' disease.

Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia, which causes poten ally fatal complica ons to occur within human lungs.

According to the WHO: "The death rate from Legionnaires' disease may be as high as 40-80% in untreated pa ents and can be reduced to 5-30% through appropriate case management and depending on the severity of the clinical signs and symptoms. Overall the death rate is usually within the range of 5-10% in any outbreak.

To avoid such high risk disease we must prevent forma on and spreading of Legionella.

Now lets see in details characteris cs of Legionella to know why tes ng is important.

Symptoms of Legionnaires’ Disease • 2-10 day incubation period • Typically presents as pneumonia • Fever (>390C) in 70% • Cough in 75% • Sputum production 45% • Confusion 45% • Myalgia 38% • Diarrhoea 33% • Headache 32%

The following condi ons allow Legionella to mul ply rapidly in man -made water systems and increase the risk of outbreak.

• Temperatures between 20-45°C • Construc on, Presence of old plumbing and corrosion • Large and complex water systems - as these have a larger surface area for the growth of Legionella and can contain areas in which bacteria can evade biocides • Differing levels of biocides present in the system • Areas where no biocide is used, Areas that produce a lot of water spray or aerosol • Poor maintenance and control of control measures, No control measures in place at all • Areas where people with a weakened immune system are present • pH fluctua ons, Nutri onal build-up of biofilm, scale, sludge etc*

52

*Sources of protec on and nutri on for Legionella are algae, amoebae and other bacteria. Scale, sludge, biofilm and other sediment can provide favorable condi ons for growth and can protect bacteria from hos le temperatures and biocides, that would otherwise kill them.

As men oned above that the source of Legionella is water system, its our primary responsibility to safeguard the water. We must bring awareness about Water safety.

What are the long-term side effects of Legionnaires' disease?

Those who survive Legionnaires' disease can experience severe life-changing and long-term health impacts.

A study carried on 122 survivors in the Netherlands found that survivors of Legionnaires' disease suffered from

January 2019 - www.visionmediahitech.com

January 2019 - www.safesecuremagazine.com

53

chronic fa gue in 75% of cases; had neurological symptoms (such as short and long-term memory loss) in 66% of cases; neuromuscular symptoms (such as muscle pain and loss and movement issues) in 63% and post-trauma c stress disorder (PTSD) in 15% of cases. On average survivors of Legionnaires' disease have a 1.5-year decrease in their health-related quality of life*.

The infec on can be caught from any water source that produces spray or aerosols but some common sources of infec on in a hotel se ng include showers, pools, spas, ho ubs, cooling towers, air-condi oning units and even ice machines. These high-risk areas need to be properly cleaned and managed or microorganisms will quickly mul ply. Hot tubs and cooling towers are of par cular concern as they have the ability to spread deadly Legionella bacteria over long distances. In warm climates, water temperature is harder to control and can provide Legionella - a heat-loving bacteria - with op mal condi ons for rapid growth3.

54

Stagnant water in the pipes of empty rooms can also encourage the growth of scale, sludge and amoeba which protect Legionella and provide the bug with nutrients, thus accelera ng its growth and spread.

At present, everyone depends on the Lab culture method for Legionella test, which takes 2-3 weeks to get result whether this area is Legionella free or not. While wai ng for result eected area can turn into dangerous zone.

In India, IPL technology oers a latest technology which can provide details whether par cular area has Legionella or not, that too in 25 minutes.

The Importance of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in the Water Analysis Sector of water quality, rapid methods of analysis are used which consider groups of parameters, rather than the individual parameters themselves. In this connec on, B O D i s e m p l o ye d to d e te r m i n e t h e a e ro b i c destruc bility of organic substances. As long ago as 1870, Frankland carried out the first B O D measurements, which were very similar to the dilu on method in use today.

A high standard of living involves a high demand for water and, at the same me, causes much greater pollu on of this essen al element for life.

The resultant interference in the natural cycle can o en overwhelm natural processes of recovery, so that, in addi on to products arising from the decomposi on of natural substances (e.g., proteins, greases, carbohydrates) there is a build-up of anthropogenous addi ves such as pes cides, effluents and garbage, which contaminate drinking water supplies with their toxic or hormonal effects.

They may also consume such large quan oxygen that water resources become fouled.

es of

To prevent the threat of possible danger to health, or the very existence of certain species, it is essen al to determine the quality of a water source before water is drawn off for consump on.

Water Analysis Water quality is dependent on its cons tuents, which can be divided into organic and inorganic substances.

Given the wide range of natural and synthe c compounds which exist, an analysis of the individual cons tuents is not a prac cal proposi on and, in any case, a complex affair. In prac ce, in order to arrive at significant milestones which will permit an evalua on

56

Terms & Defini ons BODn (Biochemical Oxygen Demand a er n days) is 1 defined in detail in German Standard DIN 38 409-H51 and is associated with certain experimental condi ons. It represents the quan ty of oxygen which is consumed in the course of aerobic processes of decomposi on of organic materials, caused by microorganisms. The BOD therefore provides informa on on the biologicallyconver ble propor on of the organic content of a sample of water. This leads to the considera on of these materials in terms of their suscep bility to oxida on by the use of oxygen. BOD is stated in mg/l of oxygen and is usually measured within a period of 5 days (BOD5).

Principle The self-cleansing ability of water is based on the ac vity of microorganisms2 which are present in prac cally every area of life as a mixed popula on. They feed on salts and organic compounds such as sugar, cellulose and conver ble synthe c substances, which they consume in the presence 2 of oxygen (O ) - that is, biochemical oxida on occurs and the products are par ally or completely broken down.

The expression "total decomposi on of organic materials" (Corg.) is taken to mean their oxida on to carbon dioxide (CO2) and inorganic salts (mineralisa on), as covered by expression (1): (1) Corg + O2 microorganisms CO2 + salts The condi ons for determining BOD are so defined that the quan ty alone of the organic materials contained in a sample limits the growth of microorganisms - i.e., the greater the number of organic nutrients present, the greater the material-exchange ac vity of the bacteria and, therefore, the resultant BOD.

57

The measured consump on of O2 is the result of microbic conversion. In extremely anaerobic water sources, oxida on processes can also be detected in inorganic materials. (e.g., Fe2+ Fe3+) BOD5 and BOD Graph Determining BOD values a er five days (BOD5) has been adopted as a compromise between a short test-period and the detec on of a prac cally complete biological breakdown of organic materials. With domes c effluents, at 20°C a complete degrada on (= 100 % BOD) is achieved only a er 20 days (BOD20); however, a er only 5 days, 70 % of the biologically conver ble substances are broken down. (Hü er, 1994) Between the BOD5 and BOD20 values, the following pa ern applies: for a given interval of me, the same propor on of residual BOD by volume is broken down.

At 20°C, the daily degrada on capacity is 20,6 % of the relevant residual BOD (Habeck-Trop e, 1992) which means that, in ideal condi ons and with a total BOD (BOD20) of 100 mg/l, a er one day there would be a BOD value of 20,6 mg/l. This kine c represents a first-order reac on. From this rela onship it is possible to use the BOD5 reading to es mate values from BOD1 to BOD20 for domes c effluents. Further, it is possible to establish a rela onship with B O D values taken at other temperatures (Pöppinghaus & Fresenius, 1994).

The advantages of taking measurements a er five days are, therefore, on the one hand, the short amount of me required for the analysis and, on the other, the fact that extrapola on can be carried out.

However, in some countries a tes ng period of 7 days is performed. A so-called BOD-Graph can be drawn up, in which BOD values are shown in graphical form over a given period of me. A slight devia on from the kine c described above occurs, caused by fluctua ons in the rate of breakdown. In their natural state, the microorganisms first consume the most easily disintegrated material completely, before they a ack the next C-source. The transfer to the subsequent substratum is linked to an adapta on-phase and this causes a (generally short-term) reversal of material conversion ac vity (diauxia). Further considera ons are based on the possibility that, under given standard condi ons, adapta ons of the inoculated

58

microorganisms, caused by their environment, are cancelled out within the 5-days test period, so that comparable BOD values can nevertheless be obtained. (Habeck-Trop e, 1992) Interpreta on On the basis of the BODn value, asser ons may be made both with regard to the characteris cs of a water-source and the biological ac vity of the incubated microflora. For example, where a heavy load is placed on a water source, the water may become anaerobic as a result of a lack of oxygen when effluent with a high oxygen demand (consuming a great deal of oxygen) is introduced, and may “ p over”. In another case, the biological capacity of a sewage treatment plant can be tested by comparing the BOD value of a known, control solu on with the BOD derived from a micro biosphere being present in the treatment plant.

In general, the following asser ons may be made: • A high BOD indicates a high content of easily degradable, organic material in the sample • A low BOD indicates a low volume of organic materials, substances which are difficult to break down or other measuring problems • the shape of the BOD graph shows what further informa on may be gained from the measurements (conformance with the measurement range; problems; pa ern of decomposi on) BOD values are generally determined and evaluated in associa on with other parameters (e.g., COD, DOC, POC, TOC) and this makes them more useful in formula ng predic ons. For example, if we consider a comparison of the measured BOD value with the COD value: • A small difference indicates that a large propor on of the organic materials can easily be degraded • A large difference indicates either that the organic loading cannot be easily broken down, or that a problem is present BOD detects only the destruc ble propor on of organic substances and as a general principle is therefore lower than the COD value, which also includes inorganic materials and those materials which cannot be biologically oxidised.

Problems Biodegrada on of materials present in water occurs in two January 2019 - www.visionmediahitech.com

59

phases. The breakdown of carbons begins prac cally immediately. In the second phase, nitrifica on occurs, which also involves the consump on of oxygen. There are two groups of nitrifying bacteria, which catalyse the synthesis in a close rela onship. As shown in expression (2) the first group oxidises ammonium (NH4+) to nitrite (NO2), which represents the substratum for the second group, which creates nitrate (NO3): (2) NH4+ NO2 – NO3 This conversion requires 4.57 mg/l of oxygen per mg of NH4+ and has a significant effect on the BOD, which is intended only to detect the consump on of oxygen for carbon oxida on (C B O D). Generally speaking, nitrifica on sets in a er 10 days but may occur within 5 days in samples which are not heavily loaded (Habeck-Trop e, 1992; Hü er, 1994). To repress this undesirable occurrence, nitrifica on inhibitors, such as NAllylthiourea (ATH) or 2-chloro-6-(trichloro methyl) pyridine (CTMP) can be added. If it is desired to analyse oxygen consump on of the nitrifica on in itself (N-BOD) a comparison can be made of samples both with and without nitrifica on inhibitors.

In contrast to this, inhibitors or toxic substances can reduce biological ac vity in water, or even kill off the organisms completely. Even so, it may be of interest to determine the BOD of a sample of this kind. This can be achieved with a dilute solu on, in which substances such as metabolic poisons are below the concentra on at which they would have an effect on aerobic decomposi on.

Procedures There are two standard procedures, which are equivalent to each other under given condi ons: the first is the dilu on method to DIN 38409-H51 and gives the so-called dilu on BOD n over a period of n days.

This is in most cases an officially-approved procedure.

It is cumbersome and includes an op miza on for test condi ons required for the decomposi on process at 20 °C. The oxygen content is measured directly in the water itself.

The more simple procedure is to measure oxygen deple on ZS(n) during a period of n days (as DIN 3840960

H52), and this method is used for internal monitoring purposes. The respirometric method (manometer) is based on the fact that the oxygen converted to carbon dioxide is removed from the gaseous spectrum via the sample by means of a CO2 adsorbent, usually potassium hydroxide (KOH). The resultant pressure drop can be measured in the closed system and is propor onal to the volume of the consumed oxygen. The so called oxygen deple on value {ZS(n)} can be interpreted as a BODn value where: 1. Only the concentra on of organic substances limits oxygen consump on in the samples and 2. The inves ga on takes place at 20 ± 1 °C In the past, pressure measurements were usually carried out with a mercury manometer. However, this can be done more simply and reliably, using an electronic BOD-OxiDirect from Lovibond.

Following measurement, the results are stored and can be called up to the display at any me in mg/l BOD. In par cular, this eliminates the use of mercury, which can be dangerous to health.

Further Applica ons for the BOD Method BOD is a criterion for aerobic, biological decomposi on.

A special applica on is found in water analysis as the BODn value. Varia ons of the method can lead to other possible applica ons, such as the following: • Checks on the aerobic decomposi on of environmental chemicals (e.g., biodegradability to OECD 301) within 28 days • Determining the respira on of soils, sludge, sediment, garbage and liquids • Toxicity tests in soils, sludge, sediment, garbage and liquids • Bio-ac vity determina on in various environ mental compartments • Performance checks in a sewage treatment plant • Determining the respira on rates of living beings (e.g., R/Q-value (respira on quo ent), inves ga ons of stress) • Oxygen consump on of cell cultures under the influence of various tests in the medicinal & pharmaceu cal industry.

Beating Traffic Jams with Intelligent Video Technology Across the world, many urban road networks are already saturated. This causes long delays for drivers, increasing frustra on and reducing produc vity. It also creates major public health risks due to poor air quality. Together, the effects of excessive traffic nega vely impact city dwellers' quality of life and the sustainability of ci es.

How Technology can help In many ci es, building new road capacity is not an op on either because of available space, disrup on to economic ac vi es, or budgetary constraints. In these circumstances, city authori es are beginning to look to smart technologies to make people's journeys faster and safer.

According to one study from INRIX, a leading provider of transport insights, Los Angeles commuters spent over 100 hours a year in traffic jams in 2017 - more than any other city in the world. Addi onally, London traffic jams cost drivers the equivalent of £2,430 (US $3,135) each, equal to more than £9.5 billion (US $12.3 billion) across the city as a whole.

In the por olio of available traffic easing technologies, latestgenera on video technology is the star. In par cular, innova ons in Ar ficial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning have transformed standard video monitoring with features that alert operators about traffic issues in real me.

This allows them to take immediate ac on to keep lanes clear and to keep traffic flowing.

To find long-term solu ons, city authori es are looking into the root causes of traffic conges on. In Hong Kong, the city's Transport Advisory Commi ee published a report iden fying the top-three causes of excessive traffic. These are: "too many vehicles on roads", "illegal parking", and "too much road works" - factors that all contribute heavily to traffic jams in ci es worldwide.

Traffic guidance This kind of solu on uses smart cameras installed at intersec ons to monitor and report on real- me traffic flow.

It works by constantly observing the flow of traffic lanes, and by coun ng vehicles within defined areas of the road. Data is then sent to traffic management control centres where operators can see the build-up of traffic across the city.

Drones: A Predominant Technological Innovation in Indian Construction inspec on. They can also graphically depict energy inefficiencies and iden fy wet insula ons in the roof or elsewhere by displaying temperature varia ons within the building.

Drones Integra on with BIM Drones have proved themselves to be an asset for data-driven approach and thus can effec vely undertake numerous tasks to aid the BIM (Building Informa on Modeling) workflow.

Giving an aerial perspec ve in the crea on of the ini al BIM, drones also provide scalable point cloud scanning and photography at different stages of construc on.

It is expected that in the next 10 years, the use of drones in construc on will register a manifold growth and will play a leading role in futuris c buildings.

Technology plays a pivotal role in shaping Indian construc on industry.

One new-gen technology that is gaining interest in the construc on industry is the usage of drones. It is poised to serve as an effec ve medium towards building smart ci es in a cost-effec ve, faster and safer manner with op mum u lisa on of skills and efforts. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the use of drones in construc on will register a manifold growth and will play a leading role in futuris c buildings.

According to a recent industry report, India is one of the fastest growing markets for UAVs and by 2021, the Indian UAV market is expected to reach USD 885.7 million. The usage of drones in the construc on industry, has seen a 239% growth year-over-year globally, higher than any other commercial sector. In India too, the growth is set to increase manifold.

“In the present scenario, it is very crucial for India to realise the aerial revolu on that can be brought about by the proper u lisa on of drones which have emerged as a highly viable commercial tool globally. As a ma er of fact, the most notable sector of economy being benefi ed by drones is construc on.

There’s no denying on the fact that there is an unstoppable rise of commercial drones; a market set to be worth billions over the coming years,” said AV Antao, Chief Opera ng Officer, Synergy Property Development Services.

There are numerous safety and legal implica ons that one should be aware of, as well as the differences between the commercial and personal use of drones. Despite increasing adop on and regula on, there is s ll tremendous growth in the use of drones in construc on. Drones can add significant value to a project throughout its life cycle.

The areas where Drone Technology will Benefit the Construc on Process: Improvised Quality and Thermal Imaging The quality of the scans and aerial imagery provided by the cameras mounted on top of the drones are undeniably superior. Drones equipped with high-resolu on thermal cameras serve as an excellent inves ga ve tool for a host of buildingspecific applica ons and energy efficiency audits, including roof insula on

Highly Cost-Effec ve in Topographical Surveys A drone carrying out standard survey and inspec on ac vi es is undoubtedly a significant cost-effec ve approach, as it removes the need for any kind of monetary or physical efforts put in for the surveys. As an example, for a typical topographic survey, the use of a drone can help to reduce costs by approximately 50%.

Ensuring Comple on of Projects The use of drones completely eradicates the need of shu ng down ac ve work sites for the concerns of maintaining and inspec ng work like pipeline or flare stacks, which can be carried out safely under UAV supervision. Drones also monitor site ac vity and provide a comprehensive overview of the site through land surveying. Therefore, it is highly efficient in reducing the me frame for the process of construc on leading to a speedy delivery of the projects.

Reducing Risk and Keeping People Safe Drones help in minimising the possibility of risk by being monitored to perform a task. The UAV technology thus helps in suppor ng the drive towards zero incidents onsite as it takes away some of the risks from the construc on ac vi es like the need for labourers to work at heights when inspec ng assets like bridges. UAVs and drones are effec ve in conduc ng safer, faster and more accurate inspec ons instead of safety managers, who physically conduct the site walk-throughs to iden fy poten al hazards.

Compact and Intelligent Results Acute 3D so ware can drama cally enhance produc vity by turning a simple series of digital photos taken with a smart camera. When these cameras are mounted on drones they give a 360-degree overview of the project into a 3D reality mesh model.

The result is a compact, intelligent representa on of the asset in its current opera ng context. This also eases out the task for engineers and designers allowing them to work on an up-to-date 3D model for their enhancement and maintenance plans.

“Drones are tools that will play a fundamental role in ensuring that the construc on industry can deliver huge and complex projects with be er finishing and on- me results,” concludes Antao.

Struggles & Conquests of Fire Fighters The Alarming Fire Realities in Mumbai Mumbai! Alarmed by the many fire incidents that have occurred over the past few years it's me for Mumbaikars to take cognizance that fire makes for a good servant but a bad master.

Unfazed by the prospect of losing life, our fire fighters' focus is always on dousing fire, saving human life & property. The fire fighters use the principles of engineering and science to defend people from risky scenarios. Their job is one of the most challenging & daring professions that demands utmost precision, planning, carefulness, me culousness and lots of commitment so as to carry out the work flawlessly incessantly. This field deals with the avoidance of fire. It also deals with dilu ng the causality which occurs on day-to-day basis by allowing safety measures and growing the parameters of standard of living, thereby reflec ng higher efficiency levels of performance.

Ar. Shrreyash Sarmalkar Founder, Principal Architect & Project Management Consultant at ESSQUARE and an Academician

The fire fighters wear their hearts on their sleeves & are very passionate about their job.

Fire fighters possess know-how of tackling fires- avoiding an outbreak, controlling it & surviving it.

Having said so, they have been known to fall short of luck on some occasions, and injuring themselves during rescue opera ons. Some mes at the cost of their lives. Fire fighters too have their family just like ours but they are determined to risk their lives against all odds to save common man, birds, animals, property, etc.

Issues related to fire safety had taken a centre stage a er Kamla Mill fire incident in December 2017. Though the Mumbai Fire Brigade took ac on against restaurants & hotels for non-compliance, the ESIC hospital blaze highlighted lack of fire safety measures at public buildings. Another fire broke out at the ESIC hospital at evening just two days a er a blaze claimed 10 lives, when a meter box caught fire.

As per reports around 309 fire incidents have been reported between 1st to 20thh December 2018 across the city.

Source: DNA, 21st December 2018, Mumbai.

A er the fire incidence at Sargam building in Chembur, the Mumbai Fire Brigade inspected around 377 structures across the city between 27th-30th Dec. 2018. Of the 377 structures inspected, 346 structures were found to be complying with fire safety norms. Necessary ac on was taken by Mumbai Fire Brigade to the ones who had flouted the safety measures. In this year alone, the Mumbai Fire Brigade has inspected over 32,000 structures which included residen al buildings, restaurant, commercial establishments, malls, cinema halls, etc. Out of these, MFB has served no ces to 17,730 structures for non-compliance. The MFB has commenced legal proceedings in 9,407 cases & sealed 32 premises.

As per the dra Development Plan unveiled by the BMC, if 100 percent FSI is consumed, a built-up area of 56,808 hectares can be added on to the city in the next 20 years, most of it ver cally. This is equivalent to the size of 6,380 Oval Maidans!

• 90 meters is the reach of the firefigh ng snorkel van the department has purchased.

• 18 meters is the expected length of the van, which means it will require a large radius for turning.

• 254 meters is the height of the Imperial Towers in Tardeo, Mumbai, way beyond the reach of the firefigh ng snorkel.

• According to firemen, above the 20th floor the walkie-talkie signals get really weak, thus hampering communica on.

Tracking Different Levels of Fire Level 1: When the fire can be tackled by two fire engines.

Level 2: When 6 fire engines are required to douse the flames.

Level 3: If 8-16 fire engines are required to tend to the fire.

Level 4: Over 16 engines required to douse the fire.

Level 5: When addi onal resources apart from 16 vehicles are needed to combat fire.

Responsibili es & Du es of Firemen: A fireman's responsibili es extend beyond figh ng fires; they are also responsible for controlling the risk to people and proper es, saving lives, and carrying heavy equipments.

Firemen are also responsible for maintaining their job skills and equipments when not responding to emergencies. They must engage in prac ce drills and ongoing training in areas of fire preven on and control, as well as the preserva on of life and property.

These responsibili es and more are required during me at the sta on when firemen are not ac vely engaged in fire figh ng at a hazardous site.

A fireman is charged with du es ranging from saving lives to keeping fire figh ng equipments clean. At a moment's no ce, a fireman must be ready to perform job func ons such as rescuing people or animals from burning or collapsed buildings, figh ng fires and providing emergency medical assistance.

Firemen also work with police, providing general assistance at accident and crime scenes. Firemen who aid in controlling and ex nguishing forest fires some mes parachute into areas vehicles can't reach and assist in crea ng and maintaining fire lines.

Other common du es include: Carrying hoses, Climbing ladders, Hooking hoses up to hydrants, Breaking through walls, Protec ng those in danger due to a fire, Ensuring integrity of the property ablaze.

Challenges & Difficul es faced by the firemen:  While ex nguishing fires that occur at higher floors of skyscrapers the major concern is Wind Velocity & deployment at such heights while dousing fires in tall buildings.  Lack of good number of snorkel vans.  Limita ons on the height of the snorkel vans as compared to the height of the skyscrapers.  Lack of proper ven la on leads to dense smoke being accumulated reducing the vision.  Arranging for uninterrupted water supply.  Lack of mo va on to join MFB.  Illegal parking of vehicles obstruc ng fire engine's movement.  Obstruc on in fire escape staircases by local residents stacking unwanted materials.  Heavy vehicular traffic during peak hours.  Narrow lanes in SoBo making life tough for MFB team reaching at the des na on.  Lack of turning radius for the MFB snorkel van in SoBo especially in congested areas.  Areas like Nariman Point, BKC and Back-bay are on reclaimed land and there are chances of cave-ins due to the high pressure of the vehicle's jack if the snorkel is used at these loca ons. Source: h ps://www.mid-day.com.  Also very difficult to use these vans in areas where the gap between two buildings is less.  Weaker wireless signals are a big impediment above the 20th floor.  In absence of sound func onal fire safety system the firemen have to physically carry the fire-figh ng equipment up the stairs to as high as 20 floors or even higher, to the floor where the fire has broken out.

These are few life-threatening challenges that skyscrapers may pose today and in the coming days.

Risks Involved: Wooden furniture burns to produce nitrogen and carbon monoxide, making the air toxic. Inhaling such smoke could cause death due to asphyxia on. Unaware about risks on the other side of the fire barrier. Sudden blast of cylinders, flammable materials stored, etc.

Fire fighters are suscep ble to burns and crush injuries from collapsing structures and many more unseen risks are faced by fire fighters.

It is necessary that we not only recognize the efforts taken by our fire fighters, but also integrate fire awareness within the very social fabric of our culture. The dues we owe to the selfless act of these unknown unnamed fire fighters will only be realized when we, the ci zens of Bharat, sensi ze and educate ourselves, thereby safeguarding our gen-next with fire and safety awareness.

Let's join hands in making India safe by "BUILDING A NATION THROUGH SAFE PRACTICES".
