Port represents a collection of physical facilities and services designed to serve as an interchange point between land and sea transport. It is a single organizational unit with multi-dimensional activities integrated within the logistics chains for providing services to maritime trade. In India there are 12 major ports and around 181 minor and intermediate ports, which handles more than 300 million tonnes of cargo per annum. The port sector has witnessed large-scale investment through government and private sector for modernisation programme. In the new era of liberalisation and privatisation, functionality of ports is changing from their traditional role as an organisation in charge of all port activities to become a coordinator of these activities. High degree of competition has resulted into reduction of excess labour, aggravated by the trend towards intensive investment of capital at seaports through private sector participation.

Since the development of the first commercial safety shield for pipe connections in 1958 by RAMCO® Manufacturing Co., Inc., there has been worldwide acceptance of safety shields on piping systems to prevent personnel injury and equipment damage due to a chemical sprayout. The effectiveness of RAMCO® Safety Shields has been demonstrated in thousands of installations in industrial manufacturing plants, government facilities and on naval and commercial ships. With the growing awareness of the importance of safety in the environment, RAMCO® Safety Shields are a natural fit in processes involving hazardous or toxic chemicals. In addition to their safety features, they permit cost reduction. Shields not only contribute to worker health by minimizing absenteeism due to accidents caused by contact with leaking chemicals but also control costs by eliminating the need for worker replacement training. With the use of safety shields to protect personnel from chemical sprayouts, stable health insurance rates can be maintained and workmen's compensation claims controlled. HOW RAMCO® SAFETY SHIELDS PROTECT... Safety shields prevent sprayouts by interposing an impregnable barrier between the chemical flowing through the piping system and the external environment. To provide this protection, RAMCO® Shields are manufactured in various materials that resist the hazardous or toxic chemicals commonly used in process industries at varying temperatures and pressures. By selecting the appropriate material for an application, virtually all situations can be safeguarded. To select the proper safety shield, it is necessary to be familiar with the physical characteristics of the special materials that are used in the manufacture of RAMCO® Safety Shields and to correlate this information with the chemical, temperature and pressure rating within the piping system. RAMCO® Safety Shields can be divided into three major groups: SPRA-GARD® Shields ECONO-GARD® Shields Metal Safety Shields Each group contains shields that are manufactured from different materials. Each type can be fabricated in any size to accommodate any piping system. While this selection is sufficient to handle most applications, special safety shields also can be customized on request. RAMCO® Safety Shields have been designed and manufactured with many essential quality characteristics. A detailed explanation of these quality features may be found in the RAMCO® SAFETY SHIELD MANUAL. A free copy is available on request. RAMCO® Safety Shields are manufactured for all pipe connections: Flanges Valves of all kinds Expansion Joints Flow Meters Hose Couplings Heat Exchangers Pressure Vessels Elbows Couplings Unions Tees Clamps Pumps Instruments Customized Connections

Definition of Risk: “Bad things happen, people could get blamed” or “Good things happen, people may not know.” Risk Management challenges and performance objectives go hand-in-hand for a global organization, post 9/11 and post Sarbanes Oxley, taking everything from Governance Performance, Compliance, Fraud, Cyber Crime, Concept Theft, Workplace Discrimination and Confidentiality Breaches into account as contemporary threats in today's business world.
