BUSINESS CASE
IOCL Panipat Refinery is the seventh refinery of Indian Oil. It is located in the district of Panipat of Haryana
state and is about 23 kms from Panipat City. Panipat Refinery has refining capacity of 12 MMT/yr with the
commissioning of its Expansion Project.
IOCL Refinery at Panipat was in expansion phase of Naphtha Cracker Plant. The construction project had
mainly three access gates which controlled entry and exit of all the man, machine and equipment for the
project. The project was of very high magnitude and involved immense work forces at the peak time, from
various contracting and sub-contractor companies involved in the project.
Due to huge number of workforce involvement, IOCL was looking for a solution that would provide quick
access to all the work forces on one hand whereas on the other hand, ensuring that the systems implemented
are efficient enough to track and identify any unauthorized entries without compromising on the processing
time for gaining entry.
With all these problems they approached ASK-EHS because of its EHS prowess and knowledge leadership.
After a careful study and analysis of site and the problems faced by the client, ASK-EHS provided ID Badging
System and Software, which ensured elimination of all the major concerns related to Access and Egress
control of the project.

KEY CHALLENGES
Some of the major challenges which client faced included:

Unauthorized individuals trying to or are gaining entry to the project, some of these categories being,
a. Individual/Group of individuals with forged id badges,
b. Individual/Group of individuals on badges of other individuals,
c. Ex-workers who failed to return the access cards to their contractor,
d. Workers who have been black listed or marked due to Security or Safety Issues on the Project etc.

Client was using plastic cards which had problems like faded, damaged or forged photographs on the ID
badges, which made it difficult for Security Forces to visually identify unauthorized individuals.
Due to the presence of more than 16 thousand work forces, the turnover of the labor was huge and new
passes had to be issued constantly, which again brought up two major issues,
a. One is cost factor of issued badges, as the actual amount of issued badges was huge in number
b. The second factor was quick processing of the badges. Badge Issue Process. It took at least 3-4 days
to process one badge with all the quality standards maintained.
