 Lack of responsibility leads to lack of management

In addition to the lack of awareness, the deeper reason behind the accident is the lack of responsibility and management.

"The more places outside the main process, the easier it is to have trouble, and the weaker management is also the danger.
" Ma Dexun, a senior gas producer in a chemical fertilizer company in Shandong, said that there are more outgassing in traditional fixed bed gas production and synthetic ammonia production.
Many companies introduce it to exhaust gas boilers as fuel, but few people pay attention to this system.
In addition, the exhaust gas treatment design of some enterprises is to mix all the exhaust gas together for centralized treatment.
Once the combustion conditions are reached, it is easy to cause accidents.

“Jin Wantai’s lack of safety training for employees, and training for more than ten minutes after taking the job.
” On November 9th, Hebei Provincial Emergency Management Department held a provincial safety production warning education conference at Jin Wantai Fertilizer Company.
The relevant person in charge of Hebei Provincial Emergency Management Department pointed out , Jinwantai Fertilizer Company unilaterally pursues efficiency and economic benefits, neglects safe production, especially does not implement the safety management regulations for the resumption of work and production of chemical enterprises, and adopts formalities and formalities for fulfilling the required procedures for resumption of work and production, which eventually leads to catastrophe.

On November 13th, Jinan City also issued a notice to suspend production for rectification of related carbon production enterprises, and investigate the production safety hazards of the same equipment and processes.
"Safety production is the first element of an enterprise, and it is also the company's responsibility to ensure the safety of employees' lives and property.
" The person in charge of the Jinan Work Safety Bureau emphasized that in addition to the supervision of relevant departments, the most important thing is to rely on the company for the safety of the factory.
Internal inspections, security inspections should be done well, no matter how small potential safety hazards are, we should not let go of them, and we should pursue them to the end and hold relevant persons responsible.

Insufficient attention to winter safety work

Near the end of the year, all kinds of enterprises have entered the peak of production, some basic chemical products are in tight supply, and prices have risen significantly.
Some enterprises that have low investment in safety and do not update safety technology and equipment in a timely manner are prone to impulsive production or even illegal production.
Weather factors such as low temperature, rain, snow, and freezing often lead to frequent accidents.
Industry analysts pointed out that the accidental enterprise management foundation is weak, and the possibility of rushing to the construction period before the end of the year is not excluded.

In the “Emergency Notice on Further Strengthening of Current Work Safety” issued by the Office of the State Council’s Security Committee on November 8th, hazardous chemical companies should implement the “winter prevention” plan and strengthen key parts such as major hazards and hot fires.
Check and control the hidden dangers of accidents in special operation links, resolutely put an end to the end of the year and the beginning of the year, rushing to schedule, and overloading production behaviors, and strictly preventing fires, explosions, and poisoning accidents.

Shandong has also recently held a provincial winter safety production video conference, with special emphasis on safety management in key links such as transportation, storage, production, operation, and use of hazardous chemicals, as well as improving technical protection facilities and improving safety assurance capabilities.

"The chemical industry should focus on implementing the'six preventions' in winter.
" Zhao Jizhang, deputy director of the Dezhou City Work Safety Bureau, pointed out that companies should focus on the characteristics of safe production in winter and keep an eye on places where they are uneasy, places where they are uneasy, and major sources of danger.
Good anti-freeze, anti-condensation, fire-proof, anti-explosion, anti-static, anti-leakage work.
Strictly implement operating procedures confirmation and ticket approval, strengthen job site supervision and management; strictly deal with violations and related personnel; strictly implement the parking management system, and confirm safety conditions; strengthen real-time monitoring of the entire process, and timely and properly handle abnormal situations.

"In the final analysis, safety in production is still a problem of responsibility, technology and management.
" Liang Xianwu, Section Chief of the Hazardous Chemical Section of the Work Safety Supervision Bureau of Dezhou Canal Economic Development Zone, suggested that chemical companies should conduct a comprehensive investigation when the winter enters to see if the system is complete and the responsibilities are clear Whether the implementation is in place, whether there is evidence for rewards and punishments, whether the certificated induction, pre-employment training are fully implemented, whether the safety protection measures for dangerous operations such as breaking fire, entering towers into tanks, climbing into pools, cargo loading and unloading are in place, equipment maintenance and failures Whether the elimination is timely and thorough, whether the employees in the post should know what to do and whether they really understand their self-protection awareness, whether the emergency plan training and drills are effective, whether the various safety online monitoring equipment and facilities are in good condition and effective operation, etc.
