This is pure material of colorless and however 80-85% Calcium Carbide in Brown or Grey Colour.
Uses of Calcium Carbide:
Prior to 1981, there was no statute in our country to control storage and transportation of pressure vessels. In 1981, the Government of India made Rules called “Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules 1981” under the Explosives Act, 1884 Section 5 & 7. Fabrication, testing of pressure vessels, the fittings and components, storage, and transportation of compressed gas in pressure vessels have been included in these Rules. SMPV Rules 2016 are framed by supersession of SMPV Rules 1981.
The Rules has 8 chapters with 69 rules.
In 1993, the ILO adopted the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents Convention (C174) and Recommendation (R181) applies to Major Hazard Installations.
The purpose of this Convention and recommendation is the prevention of major accidents involving hazardous substances and the limitation of the consequences of such accidents. By ensuring that all appropriate measures are taken to:
(a) prevent major accidents;
(b) minimize the risks of major accidents;
(c) minimize the effects of major accidents.
They provide the basis for the sound management of all types of chemicals at the workplace. Follow an approach of prioritizing prevention or reduce the incidence of chemically induced illnesses and injuries at work over protection.
(a) ensuring that all chemicals are evaluated to determine their hazards;
(b) providing employers with a mechanism [MSDS] to obtain from suppliers information about the chemicals used at work so that they can implement effective programmes to protect workers from chemical hazards;
(c) providing workers with information about the chemicals at their workplaces, and about appropriate preventive measures so that they can effectively participate in protective programmes;
(d) establishing principles for such programmes to ensure that chemicals are used safely.
In 1988, the ILO adopted the Safety and Health in Construction Convention (C167) and Recommendation (R175). This Convention and Recommendation applies to all construction activities, namely building, civil engineering and the erection and dismantling of prefabricated buildings and structures, the fabrication and erection of oil rigs, and of offshore installations while under construction on shore, operation or transportation on a construction site, from the preparation of the site to the completion of the project.
