Xiamen To Carry Out Safety Inspection Of Hazardous Chemicals Enterprises

On the morning of 27, around six a.m., a workshop in a chemical plant called Vigny Lun in Yizhou, Guangxi exploded. The accident resulted in twenty deaths, 60 injuries and more than 10000 evacuations.

After an expert investigation, the accident was initially identified as a safety production accident. The lesson of blood also gave us a warning for safety supervision in our city.

From today on, the safety supervision and fire protection departments will carry out safety inspections in hazardous chemicals enterprises throughout the city.

In the morning, the inspection team composed of security guards and fire fighters came to Xiamen, Jimei, Sichuan Province. The company was carrying out a fire drill: the fire accident occurred in the finished product storage area, and the emergency rescue team of the factory learned the fire through monitoring. 6 emergency rescue teams rushed to the scene, connected the fire water bag to the ignition point, quickly extinguished the open fire, and prevented the fire from spreading to the raw material storage area or workshop, causing toxic accidents such as toxic gas leakage and chain explosion.

This is a chemical plant which produces polyurethane resin. The raw materials include toluene, butanone, isopropanol and other dangerous chemicals. Once the fire is not controlled, the consequences will be unthinkable.

The company official said that after they heard that the explosion occurred at the Yizhou chemical plant in Guangxi, they immediately posted relevant news on the bulletin board. At the same time, they made a comprehensive self-examination of the plant's production facilities and safety facilities, and organized the staff to carry out fire drill.

Peng Zongming, deputy general manager of Xiamen's Sichuan Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.: life is priceless. No matter it is the responsibility of the enterprise responsibility manager, we must put the safety of employees first. We are very sad to see this matter. Through this matter, we realize that safety can not be a little careless. We will further strengthen the education of our employees in the future.

The inspection team affirmed the positive reactions made by the company to the accident, and pointed out that the updating of the technical specifications has always lagged behind the speed of technological development. At the same time of strengthening supervision, investigating hidden dangers and minimizing accidents, we must make adequate preparations for accidents, strengthen monitoring and control, perfect plans, prevent the spread of accidents from spreading, and minimize the loss of accidents. This is also one of the lessons of Guangxi's "8.26" chemical plant explosion.

Wang Qingbo, deputy director of the Xiamen Safety Supervision Bureau, said: (after the Guangxi "8.26" chemical plant explosion), the rescue team had no way to grasp the accident situation and implement rescue at the first time. This is very important because there are loopholes in the monitoring of major hazard installations, and the situation of major hazard installations can not be detected in time, including the situation of images, including temperature, pressure and gas leakage.

The safety supervision department requires all hazardous chemicals enterprises in our city to upgrade and upgrade the existing monitoring system, and achieve networking with the city's monitoring center as soon as possible. At the same time, we should further complement, amend and perfect the original contingency team and contingency plan in combination with the accident, and strengthen related material reserves and carry out adaptive drilling.
