Supervision of the Emergency Management Department!

From the end of June to the beginning of July this year, the sixth supervision and inspection team of the Ministry of Emergency Management went to Guangdong to conduct supervision and inspection of enterprises with major hazardous sources of hazardous chemicals in Guangzhou and Zhanjiang.
A total of 6 enterprises were inspected and dozens of hidden dangers were found, including 6 major hidden dangers
.

Supervision and inspection team inspected enterprises with major sources of hazardous chemicals in Guangdong

"Four Nos and Two Straights" carry out supervision and inspection, and some companies have combustible gas detection alarms that have not been put into use

According to the members of the supervision and inspection team, in the information system of the emergency management department, the relevant information of enterprises with major hazards in each region is registered, and the enterprises to be inspected will not be randomly selected from the system until before departure
.

On June 29, the supervision and inspection team inspected 2 companies in Guangzhou and found 2 major hidden dangers, namely: the Class A warehouse of Xiaohudao Petrochemical Logistics Co.
, Ltd.
and the fire control room and fire pump room of the whole plant did not meet the requirements.
The fire control room is simply regarded as a Class C building, and a low-standard fire separation distance is selected; Zengcheng Pepsi Special Auxiliary Co.
, Ltd.
has no automatic control, instrument alarm and abnormal situation disposal operation safety regulations in the central control room, and no process control indicators have been set
.

The members of the supervision and inspection team stated that the distance between major hazardous source storage facilities and other buildings should meet the requirements of national standards, and the necessary safety distance should be kept to prevent accidents from causing damage to the surrounding key protection targets; the production positions of hazardous chemical enterprises should be Develop operating procedures and process control indicators, including handling procedures for normal and abnormal conditions
.
These are the minimum requirements to ensure production safety
.

On July 1, the supervision and inspection team came to Zhanjiang.
At Zhongguan Petrochemical Co.
, Ltd.
, the inspectors found that the combustible gas detection alarm in the analysis cabin set up at the loading and unloading station of its liquefied gas tank farm was not in use, and the environmental protection data mining instrument in the cabin was not in use.
Non-explosion-proof; no combustible gas detection alarm is set in the area of ​​liquid hydrocarbon flare gas liquid separation tank and valve group
.

All of the above problems constitute major hidden dangers
.
Locations involving the leakage of flammable and toxic gases should be equipped with detection and alarm devices, and explosion-hazardous locations should be equipped with explosion-proof electrical equipment
.
Behind every requirement is a tragic accident lesson
.
For example: On June 5, 2017, the liquefied gas of Jinyu Petrochemical Company in Linyi, Shandong leaked, and the electric spark generated by the non-explosion-proof electrical appliances in the production duty room caused an explosion, causing 10 deaths and 9 injuries.
This kind of similar Hidden dangers have appeared again in Zhongguan Petrochemical
.

In Zhanjiang Shihua Chemical Co.
, Ltd.
, the supervision and inspection team also found that the resin sub-packaging plant did not select explosion-proof electrical equipment according to the explosive dust environment
.
In addition, the fire alarm control system in the control room of the company shielded 7 smoke detectors; a large area of ​​windows in a 5-story office building of the company faces the diesel hydrogenation unit of the adjacent company, which poses a great safety risk
.

In Zhanjiang Baoyue Gas Co.
, Ltd.
, inspectors found that there was no mechanical emergency start device in the control cabinet of the fire pump
.
In the fire pump room, the water pump numbered 9301C leaked seriously
.
"When an emergency occurs, the fire pump leaks water, and the effect of extinguishing the fire will be greatly reduced or even impossible to achieve
.

Special inspection of Sinopec affiliated enterprises

In June this year, Sinopec Guangdong Maoming Petrochemical and Shanghai Petrochemical had two fatal accidents in succession
.
On June 20, the Ministry of Emergency Management and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council interviewed the principals of Sinopec Group Corporation
.
On June 23, Sinopec Group held a safety production warning conference, requiring a comprehensive investigation and rectification of hidden safety risks
.
During the inspection in Guangdong, the supervision and inspection team made a special trip to Sinopec Guangzhou Branch for inspection
.

Inspectors found in the company's first-level major hazard naphtha tank farm that the fire pump room had no automatic pumping and mechanical emergency functions, and that the water pressure and water volume of the 35# fire monitor outside the tank farm were insufficient; the number of certified personnel in the fire control room Insufficiency; liquefied hydrocarbon and naphtha tank farms are identified as major hazard sources in one unit, and are not divided into independent units with fire levees as boundaries
.
The company has set up locker rooms and shower rooms near the 10# liquefied hydrocarbon tank farm
.
"This is convenient for enterprises, but it increases the time that employees stay in high-risk areas, ignoring the prevention and control of safety risks
.
"

Supervision and inspection team inspected major hazard source installations in Sinopec Guangzhou Branch

The person in charge of the sixth supervision and inspection team of the Ministry of Emergency Management said that before the ministerial-level supervision and inspection, Guangdong had organized self-inspection of major hazard source enterprises, municipal-level cross-inspection and provincial-level random inspection
.
Now it seems that some work is not in-depth enough, and some enterprises' rectification is not timely and in place, resulting in a "discounted" quality of the special inspection of major hazards
.

For the problems identified by the supervision and inspection team, the heads of the inspected enterprises all said that they would accept all the problems and make changes immediately
.
At the same time, the relevant local departments will supervise and follow up, and continue to carry out inspections of the safety production of hazardous chemicals to ensure that the rectification of hidden problems is in place
.

"Enterprises are constantly developing, and the standards for safety production will become higher and higher.
The prevention and control of major safety risks requires the joint efforts of local government departments and enterprises
.
It can be said that safety production work has only a starting point, no end point, and is always on the road
.
" The head of the inspection team said
