Industrial Safety and Level Measurement: Does it go hand-in-hand?
Safety is the most important and fundamental factor in any work environment, the concept of which has evolved along with industrial development. Apart from being part of the fundamental right to life and safety, following safety measures also increase work efficiency. Identifying and mitigating risks in work environment by choosing the best safety methods and tools for your factory/workplace results in less downtime, reduced cost and also saves everyone from the mental trauma of an accident. No amount of money can make up for a loss of human life or disabling injury.
The history of National Safety day dates back to December 11 to 13, 1965 when the Union ministry of labor and employment organized a conference on industrial safety for the first time. During the conference, a need was felt to establish safety councils on national and state levels. The campaign for the National Safety Day was born half a decade later, on March 4, 1972.
The theme for this year’s national safety day is “road safety”. The celebrations this year have also been spread over a week and National Safety Week was observed from March 4 to March 10.
Another predominant theme which demands our attention is industrial safety and the influence of level measurement and process automation on the same.
While working in an industrial environment, accurate level measurements is of utmost importance to ensure safety, save time & money, and optimize the performance of your plant and its processes. For smooth functioning of processes it is important to invest in measurement systems which are designed for precision and accuracy.
Inaccurate level measurements can cause severe safety risks while dealing with hazardous materials in the industrial workspace.
Chemicals that are stored in tanks/vessels can easily seep through, corrode, overflow or inflame and cause severe problem for workers as well as the environment. To save from such troubles, automated level measurement and control instruments is what is needed. Manual methods of monitoring level, carries a risk factor resulting into human error and injury. Even a miniscule particle of flammable dust can burst into fire igniting a dust explosion and injure workers.
