5) DESIGN BASIS OF FIRE SAFETY IN INDUSTRIES & COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL

This DVD depicts the Design Basis for Fire Safety for various occupancies, including Industrial, Commercial,
Residential establishments.

It provides a systematic approach towards fire safety system - starting from identifying the fuel/material and
sources of ignition, assessing the fire load and fire hazard classification of the area. The classification of fire,
and the classification occupancies as per NBC are illustrated. The basic principles of fire design i.e,
prevention of fire while designing, protection of fire by portable and fixed fire extinguisher- the fire detection
system, the fire retardant coating, fire barrier etc. and the mitigation systems by emergency preparedness
was used for fire design. It has shown to the extent of fire zoning for Industries, the minimum requirement of
water, foam, sprinkler systems, earthing systems, the use of fire consequences in designing etc.
The DVD is an useful dig out of National Building Code, the BIS 1641/42, BIS 2190, OISD towards fire design.

6) ELECTRICAL SAFETY AT CONSTRUCTION SITES (CODE NO.52011 HINDI ONLY)

The film opens with shocking depictions of electrical accidents at construction sites. Electricity is a vital motive
force that runs all the installations, equipment - in short the site itself. This film shows the highlights of
requirement for temporary electrical installations, which acts and rules are to be followed, calculation of the
total connected load, qualification of persons and licenses required and validity of licenses for working on
electrical installations (for engineers, supervisors, technicians, etc.). It also details importance of Single Line
Diagram (SLD), importance of LOTO, CPR (required after electrical shock), PPE required for electrical work,
use of electrical resistant rubber mats (to be placed below all electrical panels).

This film covers the ‘Hierarchy of Controls’ i.e. elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative
controls and use of PPE. At the end the film gives summary of electrical hazards and their protective
measures.

7) SCAFFOLDING SAFETY AT CONSTRUCTION SITES (CODE NO.52012 HINDI ONLY)

Well planned and deployed scaffolding not only saves project time but improves the cost effectiveness of
construction, as it allows efficient multi-tasking like, brick laying, RCC work, plastering, painting, façade work,
etc. and the deployment of multiple gangs of workers.

This film shows different types of scaffolds used for high-rise structures, different parts of scaffolds, design
formula for calculating the load bearing capacity for different type of scaffolds, designing to be done by a
qualified/competent person, different standards and rules to be followed, dismantling of scaffold with safety,
work permit required for construction and dismantling of scaffold, importance of height pass test and tool box
talk and inspection of scaffold.

This film also covers basic safety precautions such as soil inspection, barricading of scaffold area, use of
PPE, material inspection. The film ends with Do’s and Dont’s relating to scaffolding safety at construction
sites.

8) LIFTING EQUIPMENT SAFETY AT CONSTRUCTION SITES (CODE NO. 52013 HINDI ONLY)

which must be approached with caution at all times. This film shows different types of lifting equipment used
at construction sites such as Tower Crane, Builder & Passenger Hoist, Mobile crane, Mini-Crane (Monkey
Winch), New age and Old age Hydra Crane and precautions to be taken during operation of these equipment.
This film also shows different parameters required to be checked during daily, weekly, and third party
inspection, precautions while lifting the load, different safety devices required for safe operation of lifting
equipment such as Safe Load Indicator (SLI), wind speed indicator, upper limit switch, lightning arrestor,
outriggers for mobile crane and New age Hydra, importance of communication between operator and
signaller, etc.
