    Global Coatings Network News:

    On May 27, the second group of the second round of national chemical industry investigations and unannounced visits came to Shanxi Yushe Chemical Co.




    The smell of the air is too pungent.











    It is not uncommon for electrical wiring to be laid out indiscriminately.








    Not only that, the personnel of the open investigation and unannounced visits team also found that there are many problems with "running and dripping" in the plant area, such as internal leakage of the slurry filter drain valve, serious corrosion of hydrogen chloride and polyvinyl chloride pipelines in the conversion device area (see Figure ①) and other problems.
    If the wire is short-circuited, it can easily cause an explosion.
    Faced with such major safety hazards, the factory workers do not take it seriously and seem to have become accustomed to them.




    In the power distribution room of the company’s office building, the hidden dangers discovered by the personnel of the open investigation and unannounced visits team are even more shocking-the power distribution room is located in an underground warehouse, without a firewall, and no electrical fire monitoring system; the distribution box is separated from the wall.
    About meters, the middle is full of dusty cables and wires, and there is no place to go.






    Enterprise personnel must check the distribution box and check the wire load, and they can only step on the cables and wires.
    "Cables and wires are laid in this way.
    In the event of an emergency, the operator cannot determine where the problem is.
    This hidden danger must be rectified immediately.
    " The personnel of the private investigation team emphasized the relevant person in charge of the company's safety and environmental department.

    In the company’s calcium carbide warehouse, the personnel of the private investigation team found that the calcium carbide storage area and the calcium carbide cutting process are set up together, and there is no dust removal device near the crusher, and dust detection is not carried out regularly, resulting in excessive dust concentration in the warehouse, which may cause dust explosion.
    Although the internal ground of the calcium carbide warehouse is covered with moisture-proof materials, there are workers outside the warehouse to clean the ground with water.




    "Since you know how to prevent moisture, how can you clean the ground with water? The main component of calcium carbide is calcium carbide.
    When it encounters water, it will immediately cause a fierce chemical reaction to produce acetylene gas, which is very easy to cause deflagration.
    Enterprises must pay attention to this aspect.
    " The unannounced investigation team said.






    Through the inspection, the unannounced investigation team believed that the company's sense of responsibility for safety production is relatively weak, and that the local supervisory department has "nanny supervision", which emphasizes inspections and lightens penalties.
    For example, the company’s employee roster does not include statistics on the academic qualifications of special operations personnel.
    In this regard, the company argues that the territorial regulatory authorities have requirements for the issuance of special operations personnel’s operating permits, and the company does not need to grasp this information.
    For another example, in the questionnaire spot check, the main person in charge of the company did not understand his own safety production responsibilities, and could not tell about the safety production work carried out recently.




    The personnel of the open investigation and unannounced visits team pointed out that the territorial regulatory authorities must change their minds, love "star enterprises" and exercise strict control, so as to promote the rapid development of enterprises; enterprises should also fully recognize their main responsibilities, further strengthen safety management, and improve The level of hidden danger investigation and management.




    It is understood that Yushe Chemical Co.
    , Ltd.
    is a large-scale state-owned equity-owned chlor-alkali and acetylene chemical production enterprise with a production capacity of 400,000 tons/year of caustic soda and 400,000 tons/year of polyvinyl chloride, annual sales income of 4 billion yuan, and profits and taxes 3 100 million yuan.
