We had an observation during the stage -1 assessment.
"Organization needs to have adequate management program in place to control / reduce the severity level of risk associated with the operation of autoclave."
Scenario - We have an autoclave used to test the expansion of cement under the severest conditions, i.e. at 21 kg/cm2 pressure. The autoclave is operated in a moderately high occupancy area. the operators are qualified & trained, all mechanical safe guards in place, pressure guage is calibrated at the prescribed interval and a documented operation control procedure is followed by the staff. In addition, an emergency preparedness program (documented) is also in place and a copy is displayed in the operational area.
Based on our criteria of risk assessment, the residual risk is still very high in view of continuous exposure of people and the area being moderately occupied while the equipment is in operation.
There's no past history of any explosion in the plant during last 15 years nor any incidence heard of taking place elsewhere.
What more we can do to further reduce the risk level.
Request to share your experiences and best practices adopted.
I will appreciate your valued responses.
Thanks
