6. If Not Done Properly… The Hidden Costs

________________________________________

🧱 6.1 Basic Infrastructure – Setting the Ground Right

✅ A. Platform / Floor

• Machine को रखने के लिए level, hard-surfaced ground जरूरी है

• Pukka flooring (concrete/tile preferred), at least 15 ft x 25 ft

• Avoid slopes, loose soil, or plastic sheets

• Rubber mat or wood base under machine wheels if floor is uneven

📍 Case: Gujarat के एक farm site पे मशीन गीली मिट्टी पर रखी गई थी – next morning हल्की बारिश में धँस गई, operations 2 दिन late!

________________________________________

🌤️ B. Shade / Roofing

• Sun, rain और dust से बचाने के लिए shade जरूरी है

• At least 10 ft high tin or cloth roofing

• Side tarpaulins in case of wind or dust

• Prefer existing sheds, else partner to arrange bamboo-pole + tarpaulin

📦 Impact: No shade = pulp heating + staff exhaustion + fruit spoilage

________________________________________

⚡ C. Electricity

• Machine needs 5–7 kW steady supply

• 3-phase preferred; else DG backup of 10 kVA

• Avoid loose hanging wires

• Mandatory: Earthing, MCB, emergency cut-off

🔌 Tip: Plug boards for water pumps, mobile charging, light bulb

________________________________________

🚰 D. Water Supply

• Minimum 150–200 litres/day for:

o Machine wash

o Cleaning floor/tools

o Drinking

• Should be near machine (avoid buckets and carry)

• Clean + potable (no borewell with bad smell)

________________________________________

🛑 6.2 Safety & Risk Management

🧯 A. Fire Safety

• 1 fire extinguisher + 1 sand bucket + water drum

• No plastic waste burning on site

• Store diesel in separate covered zone

⚡ B. Electrocution Risk

• Only trained staff touch control panel

• Keep hands dry, shoes mandatory

• No power tools for opening machine when live

________________________________________

🧃 6.3 Storage, Drainage, Road Access, Waste

🧊 A. Pulp Storage

• Drum stacking area must be:

o Clean

o Covered

o Not near machine heat

• Floor marking for batches

• Avoid stacking >3 high without crates/pallets

________________________________________

🛣️ B. Road Access

• Fruit supply vehicles (tempo, tractor) must easily reach site

• Minimum 8–10 ft wide entry

• Avoid muddy / waterlogged approach roads

________________________________________

🚿 C. Drainage & Waste Disposal

• Grey water and pulp residue must be channelled

• Dig waste pit or tie-up with local municipal pickup

• No water stagnation near machine

• Composting option for seeds/peels (good for CSR use!)

________________________________________

🧼 6.4 Cleanliness & Surveillance

🧹 A. Daily Cleaning SOP

• Floor cleaning 2x daily (start + shutdown)

• Machine wipe-down with cloth + soap water

• Use broom + water + phenyl in low quantity

📷 HO Audit Requirement:

• Daily photos of cleaning (floor + machine base)

________________________________________

🎥 B. CCTV / Monitoring

• 1 camera near fruit entry gate

• 1 camera near pulp packing

• Recording loop for 7 days

• Helps in quality control, theft prevention, and incident tracking

🍽️ 6.5 Subsection: Staff Stay Must Feel Like Home (नहीं तो Team भाग जाएगी!)

SNL की टीम और स्थानीय मजदूर site पर 7–15 दिन रहते हैं।

अगर उनके रहने, खाने, आराम, सफाई, और थोड़े मनोरंजन की व्यवस्था ना हो — तो productivity भी गिरती है और टीम टिकती नहीं।

________________________________________

🛏️ A. Residence / Sleep

• Clean room or tent with bedding, mosquito net

• 1 pillow, 1 bed-sheet per person

• Location: walking distance from site

• Basic lighting, plug for charging

• Shared washroom nearby – with latch, clean water

📍 Tip: Partner से local guest house या school building negotiate करें

________________________________________

🍛 B. Food & Cooking

• Full meal x 2 (lunch + dinner), chai x 2, breakfast

• Cooking by local woman/contract cook = better taste

• Use gas stove / solar cooker if possible

• Plates, glasses must be separate for site

• Menu must rotate (daal–chawal–sabzi–roti) – avoid repeat

🎯 Mood Boost: Onion-lemon salad & pickle = instant cheer booster

________________________________________

🧼 C. Hygiene & Self-Care

• Handwashing station with soap

• Weekly towel wash + undergarment drying area

• Clean drinking water cans (with tumbler, not bottle sip)

• Daily garbage disposal

________________________________________

🎶 D. Entertainment & Mental Relief

• Bluetooth speaker with FM / bhajan / local music

• Carrom board, cards, ludo

• 1–2 evenings with “fruity” cold drink and bhujia 😄

• Light wall painting (किसी ने चूल्हे पे आम पका रहा हो type)

📍 Case: Gujarat site where a local singer in the team sang at night → staff worked longer next day without complaint!

🚨 6.6 If Not Done Properly… What Goes Wrong?

“Good setup = Smooth pulping. Bad setup = Full stop.”

SNL doesn’t just install machines — we install experience. 💫
