2.9 Health Management Plan
Following measures may be required for amelioration of the environment to improve
the health and well-being of both humans and livestock:
1. Occupational health is one of the main causes for loss of manpower and loss of
revenue to state. Hence, Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis (HIRA) shall
be made and corrective action taken.
2. Environmental degradation has been a major reason for burden of diseases.
Hence, it would be required to identify significant aspects of the organization
which are causing environmental degradation and take corrective actions.
3. Encourage green procurement in government and private organizations.
4. Environmental, demographic as well as lifestyle changes contribute to main
health challenges. Hence, vulnerability maps may be prepared and published so
that people can choose safe environment.
5. Sewage treatment plants should be built in all local bodies so as to treat all the
sewage generated from these local bodies.
6. Fresh water or treated sewage may be sprinkled on dusty roads to reduce burden
on health due to air pollution.
7. Following precautions need to be taken during noisy operations like drilling
borewell, demolition activity:
OperaƟon of Thermal
Power plant
Transportation of coal
Grinding coal
Feeding coal to boilers
Electricity transmission
Operation of cooling towers
Withdrawal of water from water source
Discharge of waste water
Solid waste management
Ash management
Providing subsidized nutritious food to workers
Maintenance of green belt
Extending hospital of thermal plants to nearby villages
towns
Extending health care activity to far way settlements by
mobile clinics under corporate social responsibilities
Distribution of free nutritious food to nearby school
children
