Abstract :
The current study intends to analyze and
assess the environmental, Social & Occupational Health
& Safety (ESOHS) Risk and Impact Assessment of
2x660MW Supercritical Coal Fire Power Plant
Jamshoro. The ESOHS risk and impact assessment has
been conducted noticing and ensuring the international
standards and guidelines, including the International
and National standers. International Finance
Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and the
World Bank Environmental, Health, and Safety
Guidelines and Sindh Environment protection agency,
Pakistan environment protection agency and other
international good practices (OSHA, ISO) The study has
assessed the environment of the 2x660MW power plant
in Jamshoro, including air pollution, noise pollution,
thermal pollution, solid waste management, and
wastewater to minimize the project's impact on the
environment. The AQMS FPI station which is an air
quality management system has been utilized to identify
the values related to air assessment, whereas, for noise
pollution, the data has been collected to identify the
impact of noise pollution using the Noise meter model
UT353/UT353BT Mini Sound Level Meters. Noted and
observed values for environmental pollution and their
assessment has been done using the Leopold scoring
criteria scale to assess the impact of these factors.
Additionally, Social assessment of the power plant has
been conducted through both online (i.e., Google Form)
and paper-based survey methods at different locations of
the coal-fired power plant. In the social assessment, 139
workers participated in the survey, either individually or
in groups, with 96 workers residing in ZEPL
accommodation and 43 workers in the E-block
accommodation. Moreover, during the construction
phase of the 2*660MW coal-fired power plant in
Jamshoro, a comprehensive Occupational Risk
Assessment has been conducted to ensure the health and
safety of workers. The assessment covered various areas
such as Work at Height, Fire Safety, Heat Management,
Confined Space, and others. A 5x5 Risk Matrix has been
used to evaluate the severity and likelihood of identified
risks, enabling effective safety measures and protocols to
be implemented. Based on the assessements to finded gap
of imolimantion and suggect sutable recommondations
for the 2x660MW coal-fired power plant in Jamshoro
have been provided. to mitigation all assess risk and
impacte of power plant during construection.
