High temperature in summer, 8 risk control measures for chemical companies

As the weather becomes hot, all chemical companies are in great danger. It is necessary to strictly pay attention to the storage conditions of raw materials and the temperature control during equipment operation to avoid safety accidents. According to the recent notice issued by the Jiangsu Provincial Emergency Management Department, chemical (hazardous chemicals) companies are required to implement eight major risk management and control measures, and do a good job in safe production of hazardous chemicals in summer and flood seasons, and make every effort to prevent and contain production safety accidents.

The eight control measures are as follows:

One is to earnestly implement monitoring measures for major hazard sources, strengthen the temperature and pressure monitoring of hazardous chemical production equipment and storage facilities, prohibit over-temperature, over-pressure, and overload production, pay close attention to the working conditions of heat exchange equipment and cooling water, and handle temperature in a timely manner , Liquid level, pressure and other abnormal conditions.

The second is to strengthen the maintenance of equipment and facilities. All automatic control and safety instrument systems, flammable and toxic gas detection and alarm systems, etc. should be put into normal operation, and buildings (structures), production equipment, storage facilities, electrical equipment, safety instruments, etc. Lightning protection and grounding conditions completely eliminate hidden dangers and effectively prevent production safety accidents caused by lightning.

The third is to improve ventilation and cooling facilities. In places involving the production, storage, and use of flammable, explosive, toxic, harmful and other hazardous chemicals, it is necessary to ensure that the ventilation, cooling, detection and alarm facilities are intact and in a normal applicable state.

The fourth is to reasonably adjust the work and rest time, arrange the time reasonably according to the weather forecast and weather changes, reduce outdoor outdoor work activities at noon high temperature, and equip heatstroke prevention and cooling drugs to prevent personnel from heatstroke. Enterprises should strictly implement the safety management regulations for the loading and unloading of hazardous chemicals in summer. When the temperature exceeds 35°C, all hazardous chemical loading and unloading operations shall be stopped from 10 am to 15 pm.

The fifth is to strengthen the safety management of inspection and maintenance, fully identify the risks of special operations such as hot work, operations in restricted spaces, temporary electricity use, and climbing operations, conduct inspection and analysis, standardize the approval of work permits, and effectively confirm the implementation of safety measures.

The sixth is to do a good job in flood prevention. Enterprises should inspect the drainage facilities in the plant area, dredge drainage, flood drainage ditches, arrange flood control materials, and implement flood control rescue teams. It is necessary to clarify the responsible personnel and regularly monitor the flammable and toxic gases in the sewage pipe network to prevent leaked materials from entering the sewage pipe network and ensure the safe operation of the pipe network. Enterprises along the river, lake, and river should pay close attention to flood forecasts, inspect flood discharge isolation gate facilities such as the river, lake, and river, arrange flood control personnel on duty, and be ready to close the gate at any time to prevent rivers, lakes, and rivers from flowing. Backflow.

The seventh is to inspect and test the fire sprinkler system, and conduct a start-up test on the sprinkler cooling water system installed in the hazardous chemical tank area to ensure that the water pressure and cooling effect meet the design requirements.

The eighth is to pay attention to the safety of enterprises that stop production, and urge enterprises to fully understand the situation of hazardous chemicals in storage tanks and installations, and properly handle, recover and transfer hazardous materials. Strengthen the monitoring and control of out-of-service production installations and storage facilities that contain hazardous chemicals, and shall not dismantle or disable safety facilities without authorization.

Desheng specializes in the research and development, production and sales of blood collection tube additives, in vitro diagnostic reagents, buffers, and luminescent substrates. The storage of raw materials, equipment monitoring, and mental state supervision of production personnel are all strictly supervised to avoid safety accidents. In the scorching summer, Desheng hopes that all chemical companies will attach great importance to safe production.
