In recent years, accidents caused by hazardous chemicals are on the rise. The occurrence of accidents is shocking, with strong harmfulness and great social impact. So, what are the reasons for the safety accidents of dangerous chemicals? Now let me tell you the reasons for the safety accidents of dangerous chemicals!
Causes of safety accidents of hazardous chemicals
For chemical enterprises, if the risk can be controlled from the source of hazardous chemicals, the probability of risk can be significantly reduced. However, at present, most dangerous chemical production enterprises often ignore some necessary management measures, resulting in the hidden trouble of these dangerous chemicals from the beginning.
Generally speaking, these hidden dangers are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the lag of information communication. Some hazardous chemical production enterprises did not provide the latest chemical safety technical specification (MSDS) of the hazardous chemicals transported, and did not mark the corresponding warning signs for the corresponding hazardous chemicals; Second, the cargo information is not true. Some hazardous chemical production enterprises provide inaccurate cargo information to transportation enterprises, and some enterprises even deliberately hide or dilute the hazard attributes of hazardous chemicals. Such irresponsible practices will increase great risks to the transportation process of hazardous chemicals; Third, the emergency mechanism is not perfect. In order to reduce costs, many hazardous chemical production enterprises do not involve the management of risk emergency mechanism at all. Therefore, when an accident occurs, rescuers cannot take proper treatment methods, resulting in unnecessary serious consequences.
In addition, there is a more important reason is the enterprise's own management dereliction of duty. At present, China's production enterprises engaged in hazardous chemicals have many management deficiencies in safety management, various rules and regulations have not been established and improved, or have not been effectively implemented and implemented at all; The safety supervisors provided by chemical enterprises are even more formalistic, lacking systematic and effective responsibility supervision and implementation; In addition, some enterprises are misled by the concept of "economic benefit first" and pursue profits. Accidents that do not pay attention to safety occur frequently, which has brought an extremely negative impact on the industry.
Safety measures and Countermeasures for safety accidents of dangerous chemicals
A series of continuous leakage, fire and explosion accidents of hazardous chemicals have a great social impact. The State Council attaches great importance to them. Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao and vice president Huang Ju all made important instructions, requiring that the concept of "people-oriented" should be adhered to in terms of production technology, equipment, measures and treatment, and comprehensive treatment and preventive measures should be taken to prevent similar accidents.
I think the following measures should be taken for the units engaged in hazardous chemicals:
1. Strengthen the special rectification of hazardous chemical safety. For those who do not meet the safety production conditions specified in relevant national laws, regulations and standards, and have potential accidents, including equipment aging, they shall be resolutely ordered to stop production for rectification; Those who still fail to meet the standards after rectification shall be closed according to law. At present, the international and domestic markets of chemicals are still booming. It is even more important to prevent a few enterprises from being driven by economic interests, ignoring safety production and taking risks and acting recklessly in violation of regulations.
2. Comprehensively and thoroughly investigate the surrounding protection interval of chemical enterprises. In strict accordance with the regulations on the safety management of hazardous chemicals, make the overall planning and layout of hazardous chemical production and storage enterprises, and strictly implement the examination and approval system. Chemical enterprises that have been built or newly built, reconstructed or expanded must strictly implement the provisions of the state on peripheral protection intervals, and those that do not meet the provisions of the State shall be ordered to rectify immediately; If the rectification fails to meet the standard, measures such as relocation, production change and closure shall be taken.
3. Strictly implement the market access system in accordance with the regulations on work safety license. No work safety license shall be issued to those who do not meet the conditions for work safety; Those who carry out production without obtaining a work safety license shall be punished in strict accordance with relevant regulations.
4. Strengthen the publicity, education and training of safety production. Take various ways and methods to widely publicize the national laws and regulations on safe production and hazardous chemicals, urge the main principals, safety management staff and employees of the enterprise to consciously participate in safe production training, enhance the awareness of laws and regulations and improve the safety quality. Make the enterprise "managed" and "managed" in terms of safety, and make the employees truly achieve "I want to be safe" and "I will be safe".
5. Increase investment in safety production and strengthen internal safety management of the enterprise. Enterprises should increase investment in safety production facilities, equipment and education and training to ensure normal and good operation of facilities and equipment and improve intrinsic safety. Improve the safety production conditions through the improvement of internal rules and regulations and strengthening safety management.
6. Strengthen the monitoring of major hazard sources and prepare emergency rescue plan. Urge chemical enterprises to identify and determine major hazard sources of the enterprise as soon as possible, take effective monitoring measures, and speed up the formulation of emergency rescue plans for chemical accidents. At the same time, organize inspections and drills, constantly improve and progress, and ensure that the chemical accident emergency rescue plan is truly effective.
7. Investigate the responsibility of the accident according to the principle of "four don't let go". That is, if the cause of the accident is not found out, the relevant responsible personnel are not severely dealt with, the majority of employees are not educated, and the safety precautions are not implemented, the responsibility investigation of the accident enterprise shall be strengthened, and if it constitutes a crime, its criminal responsibility shall be investigated in accordance with the law.
8. Further strengthen the monitoring role of public opinion and news media. The implementation of the safety production responsibility system, the general progress of the safety awareness of the whole society, and the obvious reduction of the phenomenon of concealment and omission of casualty accidents are inseparable from the monitoring role of social public opinion and news media. Therefore, we should further give full play to the special monitoring role of social public opinion and news media; Promote work safety.
