ఆందోళన రేపుతున్న ఫార్మా ప్రమాదాలు

ETVBHARAT

Solvent Leakage Led to Reactor Blast at Atchutapuram Pharma : పరిశ్రమల్లో వరస ప్రమాదాలు కార్మికులు, స్థానిక ప్రజలను భయాందోళనకు గురిచేస్తున్నాయి. జనావాసాల మధ్య ఏర్పాటైన పరవాడ జేఎన్‌ ఫార్మాసిటీతో పాటు అచ్యుతాపురం సెజ్‌లో కలిపి 138 ఫార్మా పరిశ్రమలున్నాయి. వీటిలో సుమారు 40 వేల మంది పని చేస్తున్నారు. మండే స్వభావం గల సంస్థల్లో అధికారులు తనిఖీలు సరిగ్గా చేపట్టకపోవడంతో భద్రతా ప్రమాణాలపై పర్యవేక్షణ కొరవడిందన్న విమర్శలు వ్యక్తమవుతున్నాయి.

00:30In Achitapuram, S.N.S.I.A. company, due to the incident, the workers are worried about the

00:37safety of the pharma industry.

00:44In the preparation of pharma products, there are 10 to 18 reactors in each block.

00:51Each reactor has a capacity of 1KL to 8KL.

00:55After sending the finished chemicals to the reactor, they prepare the medicines by

00:59sending the right amount of heat or coolness according to the temperature there.

01:03In this process, even if there is no proper inspection, even if the safety measures are not taken,

01:07the heat increases and the reactors burst with a loud noise.

01:11Steam is also necessary in the preparation of pharma products.

01:14Steam is made by boiling water in a boiler.

01:17But the boiler works automatically.

01:20If the water content in the boilers is less and the heat is high, it will burst.

01:24The boiler should be in a constant state.

01:27The joints, valves and solvent tanks in the pipeline should not have any leakages.

01:33Small leakages can cause major problems.

01:42A fire coat with oxygen is very important for those who work in the reactor.

01:46This fire coat, which covers the whole body, is used as a protective shield to avoid dangers.

01:53When the reactor manhole is filled with a lot of chemicals,

01:57the fire coat will reduce the impact of the fire.

02:01You don't need a fire suit.

02:03You can run out and survive.

02:06But there is a lot of effort to buy this fire coat and be in lakhs.

02:10The workers are complaining that they do not give it.

02:14Many companies do not provide enough foam and dry chemical powders to control fire hazards.

02:20When accidents occur, they bring the hazards from other companies.

02:25In the meantime, the risk of fire is increasing and the lives of the workers are in danger.

02:29According to the manual, a reactor costs between 10 lakhs and a crore.

02:34Some companies use old reactors to reduce the pain.

02:39The workers are told that it is dangerous to punish the workers who do not have the right punishment.
