Environmental and Health Risk Management Plan

Serum - Protection from birth onwards

Environmental Impact and risk mitigation:

Risks	Project Specific Risk	Potential Impact	Mitigation Steps
Air Pollution	Briquette Boiler Emissions FO Boiler Emissions DG sets Emissions	Emissions of dust, SOx and NOx	Bag filters/Cyclone separator is provided for Boiler to control the dust emission. Switched over to environmental friendly fuel – i.e. Furnace Oil is replaced with CNG for few boilers to reduce the pollution load (i.e. SOx and NOx.) Stacks height provided is as per guidelines. Regular Monitoring of all stacks through MoEF and CC approved laboratory and records maintained.
Water Pollution and Waste water treatment	Process washings, Utilities wastewater Domestic Wastewater Waste water from Animal House. Other	Water pollution	Containment is provided to waste water tanks and pit to avoid the spreading of waste water. Provision of Effluent treatment plant -consisting - Equalization tanks followed by Primary, secondary and tertiary treatment system. Minimum 60 % of treated effluent is being recycled in plant and rest of effluent disposed of into local drainage. SOP's are in place for monitoring the operations of ETP plant.
Chemical waste	Off specification chemicals Date expired chemicals Rejected raw materials, solvents and lab chemicals	Contamination of water or soil and health risk	Segregation, collectionof waste as per the Hazardous waste Rule 2016. Disposal of chemical waste through Common Hazardous Waste Treatment storage Disposal facility. (CHWTSDF) – Approved by statutory authority).
Biological Waste	All types microbiological wastes, OHC wastes	Health risk	Segregation, collection, secured storage of Biological waste as per the Bio-medical waste management Rule 2016. Bio-Medical waste Incinerator plant provided as per the CPCB guidelines for the treatment of waste. Incinerator ash is disposed of to CHWTSDF. SOP is in place for operation of Incinerator plant.
Hazardous waste	ETP Sludge Waste oil Incinerator ash	Contamination of water or soil	Hazardous waste is disposed through Common Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF).
Destruction/alteration of surrounding ecosystem	Specific Project implementation aspects will not cause any adverse ecological effects	Not likely	All Lab practices will be as per standards

Occupational Health and Safety and risk mitigation:

Risks	Project Specific Risk	Potential Impact	Mitigation Steps
Heat Hazards	Burns	Injuries	Insulation is provided to hot surfaces to avoid the contact. Personal Protective Equipment/s are provided to those employees who are working in such environment. Precautionary Signage's are displayed.
Chemical hazards, including fire and explosions	Fire	Injuries, property loss	Trained persons are available in each shift to tackle the emergency. Fire hydrant system is provided to extinguish the fire. Fire detection and Alarm system is provided for early detection of fire. Public Address system is provided for communication in during emergency. Fire extinguishers are provided to extinguish the fire. Fire tender is available to extinguish the fire.
Pathogenic and biological hazards	Exposure to Pathogens	Health Risk	Bio safety cabinets provided to avoid the exposure. Controlled working environment with HEPA filter to avoid the contamination and usage of disinfectants. Immunization of concerned personnel to avoid the health risk. Access control system is provided to avoid unauthorised entry.
Noise	High noise	Hearing loss	Acoustic enclosures, silencers are provided to high noise equipment to control the noise within permissible limit. PPE's like Ear plugs/muffs provided to worker to avoid the high noise exposure. Audiometric testing of employees during annual medical check-up to observe the noise impact on health. Regular Noise Monitoring through MoEF and CC approved laboratory to check the noise level. Equipment Maintenance schedule is in place to avoid the excess noise.
Process safety	Engineering and Equipment maintenance shall be undertaken as per SOPs	Health Risk	Process risk assessment and engineering controls are provided to avoid the impact on health of employees.

Community Health and Safety and risk mitigation:

Risks	Project Specific Risk	Potential Impact	Mitigation Steps
Safety Transportation Management System (for transport of hazardous material)	Fuels, lab chemicals and reagents, raw materials	Spills	Transportation of hazardous waste is done only by RTA approved vehicles.
Emergency preparedness and participation of local authorities	Low hazard facility	Low hazard facility	Onsite emergency plan in place to tackle the emergency situation. Regular mock drills are conducted to check the employee's response and preparedness during the emergency.
