    Where is the difficulty in resuming work?

    Where is the difficulty in resuming work?

    According to the China Synthetic Resin Association, at present, due to the restrictions of local policies, many non-local employees of enterprises cannot return to work in the company


    .


    Due to the different start-up conditions of production-related industrial chains, the supply of raw materials cannot be guaranteed, and most start-up companies digest inventory and maintain production; downstream companies do not start normally, and product demand is low


    .


    Local governments have different policies and measures for epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work.
    In some areas, the conditions for resumption of work are strict, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to resume work, and there are problems of excessive control measures


    .


    According to China Chlor-Alkali Net's investigation on the start-up of domestic key PVC production enterprises, the overall start-up of ethylene-based PVC is relatively low, roughly: the current start-up of two large-scale ethylene-based factories in North China is 75-90%; A total of 5 ethylene-based PVC factories investigated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except 1 kept operating at full capacity, 2 stopped, 1 operated 30%, and 1 operated 69%


    .


    According to the analysis, the company said that if the inventory continues to rise, the situation of logistics obstruction will not be alleviated, especially once it is restricted by the expansion of the warehouse of products such as liquid caustic soda, it will continue to reduce the PVC start-up load


    .


    According to the survey results of China Chemical Fiber Association, difficulties in purchasing protective equipment, shortage of workers, and poor logistics are the main difficulties currently faced by the chemical fiber industry.
    About 97.
    5% of the surveyed companies reported that logistics obstructions affected the procurement of raw materials and poor product sales.
    It is still the industry facing the biggest difficulty; about 72.
    5% of the surveyed companies reported that the procurement of anti-epidemic supplies caused delays in starting construction; about 52.
    5% of the surveyed companies reported that the problem of labor shortage was prominent

    The above industries are only a microcosm of the entire chemical industry

    The approval procedures are complicated, and a single mask can scare people to death

    The approval procedures are complicated, and a single mask can scare people to death

    At present, epidemic prevention has become the top priority of governments at all levels! Small and medium-sized enterprises must pass the government's report and review before they can officially start work
    .

    The first is to send someone to a training class on "how to start work and prepare"
    .
    The factory environment is then sanitized and monitored

    .
    Then submit the documents and application materials

    .
    The second is to require employees to check one by one and report them every day; strictly implement the prevention and control mechanism, put the system on the wall, and submit it electronically

    .
    Once again, facilities and materials are required to be in place, and a certain number of masks, thermometers, disinfectant, sprinklers and hand sanitizers must be provided according to the number of employees

    .
    Finally, internal management is required to be in place, and special personnel must monitor and report on a daily basis

    .

    All other requirements are easy to handle, but the mask alone can scare people to death, and money can't buy it
    .
    Some companies received a request from the street office to resume work, requiring the company to prepare a set of protective clothing for each employee every day.
    In the end, it was found that not only the company could not buy it, but even the hospital was gone, so let it go

    .

    Due to the complicated approval procedures and low approval rate, many factories have given up reporting
    .
    A business owner said that he now spends more time every day looking for masks, buying protective clothing, disinfecting water, and reminding employees of the latest epidemic news and some precautions in the group every day

    .
    It is also necessary to upload the screenshots of these work to the regulatory authorities for backup, to show that the company is carrying out epidemic prevention work.
    These work are already too busy, and they have no intention of taking care of the company

    .
    He said that many companies in the same industry have insufficient equipment for masks and thermometers, so they choose not to start work in the short term

    .

    Resumption of work has dawned

    Resumption of work has dawned

    However, with the easing of the epidemic situation and the country's emphasis on the resumption of work by enterprises, the resumption of work has seen the light of day
    .

    According to the survey results of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, as of 13:30 on February 17, the chemical fiber industry has received a total of 46 valid questionnaires filled in by companies, 42 companies have started construction, and the ratio of start-up is 91.
    3%, which is higher than the previous two days.
    There is a great increase; the number of workers employed by the above-mentioned enterprises under normal production conditions is 59,574, and the number of workers who have resumed work is currently 45,788, accounting for about 76.
    9% of the workers who have resumed work, and the number of workers who have resumed work has gradually increased

    .
    (Because the companies that fill in the daily report cannot be guaranteed to be consistent, and the number is not the same, the data is for reference only

    .
    )

    Zhejiang has also begun to cancel road card points
    .
    On February 17, the Zhejiang Provincial Leading Group for the Prevention and Control of the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic stated that after the preparations were started in the previous stage, the confirmation procedures for resumption of work and production will be simplified this week, and the resumption of work and production will be promoted on a larger scale and with greater strength

    .
    Including opening up the main transportation routes in the province in an all-round way, providing "artery" support for the smooth flow of goods, so that materials can be transported in and products can be sold

    .
    Except for Wenzhou, the province immediately abolished the card points of expressways, ordinary national and provincial roads, and rural roads in the province, and rectified the situation that the general national and provincial highways were not fully released, so as to achieve all possible access

    .

    Recently, the Emergency Department of Liaoning Province issued a notice to ensure the safe and orderly resumption of work and production of hazardous chemical production enterprises

    Strengthen monitoring and early warning of abnormal working conditions, strengthen equipment safety operation management, strengthen inspection and maintenance, special operation safety management, improve emergency plans, and resolutely prevent accidents

    .
    Do a good job in the administrative licensing work during the epidemic period.
    For the production enterprises of hazardous chemicals involved in the necessities of epidemic prevention and control, special cases should be handled.
    For the safety review of other hazardous chemicals, document review, video and other methods can be used instead of meeting review

    .
