CHEMICAL ( INDUSTRIAL ) PROFILE OF KERALA Presented by K.M.Amanulla Kerala State Productivity Council & B.Ummer Sr.Jt.Director of Factories and Boilers

Industry Scenario MAH UNITS ARE SPREAD OVER NINE DISTRICTS. THERE ARE 39 MAH UNITS IN KERALA. OF WHICH, ERNAKULAM ALONE IS HOME TOA MAJOR PORTION. MOST OF THESE UNITS HANDLE HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE AND/OR TOXIC CHEMICALS.

Industry Scenario THE QUANTUM OF HAZCHEMS CARRIED IN AND OUT OF THE INDUSTRIES THROUGH RAIL/ROADAND CROSS- COUNTRY PIPE LINES ARE A MAJOR SECONDARY HAZARD. WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF LNG TERMINAL (2.5 MILLION TON PER ANNUM CAPACITY) AND OTHER STORAGE TERMINALS IN THE WILLINGTON ISLAND PROBABLY BY 2012, THE QUANTUM OF STORAGE IS ALL LIKELY TO RISE MANY FOLD.

MANAGEMENT OF MAH UNITS STEPS TAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT THE ENFORCEMENT MACHINERY SEE THAT ALL STATUTES ARE STRICTLY ADHERED TO BY THE MAH UNITS ALL THE NINE DISTRICTS HAVE ACTIVE DISTRICT CRISIS GROUPS. OFF-SITE PLANS ARE PREPARED AND UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME. ALL INDIVIDUAL UNITS HAVE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLANS.

MANAGEMENT OF MAH UNITS STEPS TAKEN BY THE DEPARTMENT MEETINGS OF THE DCGs ARE HELD UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR-EVOKING ACTIVE PARTICIPATION FROM INDUSTRY CIRCLE, LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT AND THE INSPECTORATE. TO CATER TO THE NEEDS OF THE INDUSTRY, A CHEMICAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTRE (CHEMREC) EQUIPPED WITH STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENTS AND VEHICLES IS TO BE SET UP IN ERNAKULAM FOR WHICH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING IS IN THE FINAL STAGE.
