Chemical production must eradicate four hidden dangers

In 2008, a succession of security incidents has given the chemical industry safety production a “downward drive”. At the end of last year, the development of safe production had just begun to turn for the better. Earlier this year it was hit. Why can't safety production management always adapt to the requirements of safety development, and why does the total amount of hazardous chemical spillage and explosion accidents coincide with the speed of industrialization?
At the video conference on January 22nd, the State Administration of Production Safety Supervision and Administration conducted an in-depth analysis of the current hidden dangers of safety accidents in chemical and hazardous chemicals companies. According to the State Administration of Work Safety Supervision and Administration, only from these accidents this year, the current safety production of chemical and hazardous chemicals exposed four major problems:
The foundation is weak and the management level is not high. China's chemical companies are characterized by many small and large enterprises, and more than 90% are small and medium-sized enterprises. In some provinces, small chemical enterprises with less than 20 people account for about 40% of the total number of chemical companies in the province, and some are close to 50%. Small-scale chemical technology is backward, equipment is poor, automation is low, safety investment is low, and personnel quality is low. Safety production responsibility system has not been implemented, safety management mechanism is not perfect, and safety management system is not perfect. Most of the medium-sized chemical companies in China are mostly old companies built in the 1960s and 1980s. Although these companies have a certain management foundation, they have relatively backward technology, outdated equipment and insufficient maintenance, and the level of automation is not high. This is one of the most important reasons for the current accidents of hazardous chemicals employees.
The "three simultaneous" system was not implemented. With the lack of management functions in the chemical industry, the current revision of design specifications and standards in the chemical industry has stagnated. Many norms and standards lag behind technological progress, resulting in low access conditions for the chemical industry, and some small chemicals that have not been subject to project safety review or security guarantees. The installations have been completed and put into operation. Many chemical parks, especially the ones planned by the county-level government, have a low starting point for chemical concentration, low entry barriers for investment promotion, and a large number of small-scale chemicals with unsafe process technology, high energy consumption, and heavy pollution. These small chemical safety guarantee capabilities are poor, safety accidents occur during the trial production process, and the safety production pressure increases. On January 15, a fire and explosion occurred in Boyang Chemical Co., Ltd. of Wuyi City, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, killing 4 people. According to preliminary investigations, the company has not changed its production process without a proof of production safety. There are also serious problems such as unreasonable factory layout and non-explosion-proof electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
The "three violations" phenomenon is very serious. Judging from the recent accidents, the problems of incomplete regulations, illegal operation, and inadequate corporate safety management are still very prominent. Although some companies have formulated safety production rules and regulations, they have not been strictly implemented. On January 1st, a poisoning accident occurred in Taiyuan Huayuan Chemical Co., Ltd., Shanxi Province, resulting in three deaths. The main reason was that there were no regulations, no replacement cleaning and purging of operating storage tanks, and no toxic and harmful gases and oxygen content. For detection and analysis, no effective protective measures were taken and the operators illegally entered the hazardous workplaces.
Lack of safety training. At present, China's chemical companies, especially small and medium-sized chemical enterprises, have poor quality, poor safety awareness, and poor safety skills. The emergency system is not perfect, there are no emergency plans, and illegal operations are serious. It is not uncommon for distressed individuals to rescue themselves or to rescue each other improperly. “1·1” poisoning accident in Shanxi Taiyuan Huayuan Chemical Co., Ltd., and “1. 9” asphyxiation accident in Chongqing Tesla Chemical Raw Material Co., Ltd. all had corporate management personnel and operating personnel lacking awareness of the hazards of the workplace and in violation of regulations. , illegal operations and other issues. In the event of personnel in distress, blindly rescued, resulting in further expansion of casualties in the accident.
The year 2008 is the “year of managing hidden dangers” for safety production. Preventing hidden dangers in various types of chemical production accidents and stopping the rise of chemical and hazardous chemical accidents is the most pressing task of current safety supervision and has been put on the agenda of safety supervision departments at all levels. The State Administration of Work Safety stated that it is necessary to promote the situation that the safety production of chemical and hazardous chemicals will remain stable in 2008. Safety supervision is still a long way to go.
