Dear Abhay

Let me try to answer your questions.

Statutory Requirement applicable to any boilers in India will be : 1. Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) -1950, 2. Indian Boilers Act 1923. Refer the same for details.

1. Displays

General Safety Posters Disply, Any specific process hazards involved and it's precautions - this you will get only after a detailed risk assessment of your Briquette fired Boiler... Take the help of your safety pro and process peoples... Display of sound level also required...

2. PPE = All PPE as per job requirements.

3. Competency of Boiler operator & helpers = Refer the attachment, may be helpful to you.

4. Training = Site wise training needs to be identified and accordingly impart.

5. Housekeeping = it's not something different from other plants.

6. Dust/ Heat Stress etc. = Monitoring for dust emmissions and take control mesaures accordingly... Take help of your environment guys... Heat stress also needs study and accordingly apply control measures...
