Introduction
The phrase better safe than sorry applies to all manufacturing industries which value human
labour as their primary resource for production. Recycling of steel is regarded to be very vital
within the community as it minimizes the effects of steelmaking to the environment. Recycling
of steel involves heating the scrap materials of steel to melting points where a new product is
formed that replaces the initial materials used in making the steel. Steel scrap is therefore
considered to be important in making steel. This process of making steel from the scrap is very
efficient as it is characterized by low emissions of CO2 and at the same time requires less energy
therefore friendly to the environment not as in the case of integrated steelmaking (Elwert et al
2016).
Through the use of the scrap materials, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted to the
environment and the energy required for the process is very low and this act to save on natural
materials. Collection of scrap materials within the environment is therefore regarded to be very
importance for the process of steelmaking. The study thus revolves around the flow of steel scrap
material modeling as well as the analysis techniques on the contents of alloy in the scrap while
giving priority to safety at each and every stage of the operation.
RISK ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION
The rate at which steel is recycled is used as an evaluation tool to determine the extent of
replacement of natural resources with the recycled scrap. The ratio of old scrap of steel collected
to the potential generation of scrap within the environment is referred to as the End of life
recycling rate (EOLRR). Calculating steel EOL – RR has proven to be very difficult following
the insufficient information provided by series of continuous data on the collection of scrap

materials. This is because, maintaining a close monitor on the flow of scrap materials is very
difficult as steel within the end of life products overflew within the entire society for distinct
applications and products in a wide range. The clearance height should be at least 3metres for
safety operations of the workers (Hrncir et al 2013).
Some of the potential risks include:
 Loss of key personnel or services which may in turn affect the opportunities of the
business
 Regulatory as well as legislative changes usually affect the company’s mode of
operations and therefore affecting the profit margin.
 The recycling plant is likely to face interruptions which are related to weather patterns.
This will in turn affects the operations of the trucks which pick up the raw materials and
the finished products.
 Pollution liability: The Company risks being sued by the environmental conservation
organizations. Some of the problems will be very specific and have been discussed within
their context.
Mitigation Measures
Due to the fact that the economic value of steel scrap is relatively lower than those of other
materials, there is no tax levied on the material. There are numerous dealers in steel scrap as well
as black market that conduct buying and selling services for the scrap. Production will thus be
done in large scales and there will be piling effects which threatens safety.
 The company environmental policies should be made in line with the laws which regulate
environmental pollution.

 The company should avail all the safety kits to the workers and strictly set safety rules so
as to avoid possible loss of the key personnel
 Constriction of the sheds to control the possible interruptions from the weather.
Dynamic material flow models have been adopted for a quite number of times in a long range as
a calculation equipment of the total amount of losses and reserve on steel scrap within the
society. Concurring to the provided information on the total amounts of steel scrap assets in
place, imminent installation plans of the structure for facilities of waste management are made
easier same to steelmaking mills for scrap consumption. The rate of collection of steel scrap
could therefore be maintained at a persistent higher level with proper roadways in the site
(Fröhling et al 2013).
But there is insufficient information provided concerning the amounts of recyclable materials in
place as an industrial resource. Statistical analysis on the total natural resources in place are very
numerous including resources and reserves based on exploration integrated as measured or
proved reserves, inferred resources and indicated or probable reserves based on their assemblage
as per the confidence and geological knowledge.
ANALYSIS AND CRITIQUES
Roadways on site
Movement will be paramount in any recycling industrial plant. The roadways should be kept free
of the objects which may act as stumbling blocks to the movement of people. Similar robust
analyses on the amounts of metal scrap available that last for a long duration is necessary for the
purpose of saving the raw material assets of recyclable elements as sustainable industrial
