Abstract
The steel industry is one of the most hazardous sectors, with frequent exposure to extreme temperatures, molten metals, dust, and high electrical energy. The induction furnace-based steel melting shop forms a vital part of small and medium-scale steel plants in India. This study focuses on identifying and analyzing the hazards associated with induction furnaces and developing accident prevention strategies in accordance with the Factories Act, 1948, Odisha Factory Rules, 1950, and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) safety codes. The project emphasizes hazard identification, risk assessment, and control measures, including engineering controls, administrative measures, and personal protective equipment (PPE). It also reviews environmental and occupational health impacts, safety management systems, and best practices adopted in Indian steel plants such as Rourkela Steel Plant, Tata Steel, Jindal Steel and Rungta Plant (Dhenkanal Steel Plant & Kamando Steel Plant). The findings of this study are expected to contribute toward enhancing the safety culture, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring compliance with statutory safety standards in steel melting operations.
