Let’s talk about the problems encountered at work and give some lessons to us newcomers (no sensitive topics)

Let me first share something that happened in our actual work: one day, the supervisor asked us to help fill the standby pump that had been taken out of service; he had other things to attend to. I said it was no problem – all you need to do is drain the water from the outlet and then close it. As a result, it didn’t fill up even after waiting for nearly an hour. . . It was later found that the master forgot to turn off the drain valve when he left. . . Pour as much as you need to pour. This made me realize that checks need to be done carefully.
Did the downward leakage go there? Is it easy to find on-site?

There are so many stories about newcomers! Let me first share a recent incident similar to yours: Our department has a liquid ring compressor, and the outlet filter of the Service Liquide circulation pump became clogged. An attempt was made on-site to switch to a backup filter, but due to inadequate inspection, it wasn’t noticed that the drain valve of the backup filter wasn’t closed. As a result, the low flow rate from Service Liquide during the switching process caused the compressor to shut down. We can talk about the rest slowly.
Find your place within the group, observe more, learn more, and do more; there is knowledge to be found in everything around us. Strictly follow the safety operating procedures; safe production relies first on personal safety and second on equipment safety. Technology is the cornerstone for improving your position within a group. It is important to note here your “position” within the group” ； Technology is the guarantee for safe production. . . . .
Listen and observe more; for any issue, one must understand not only what it is but also why it is so. One shouldn’t accept things at face value, but rather consider their scope of application and conditions. The applicability conditions are the most important. Also, some pieces of practical advice are not necessarily safe and reliable.
When new employees encounter problems, it is mainly due to inadequate training and a lack of diligence on their part. Firstly, the control room requested that the pump be switched off; two people were sent to the site, one of whom was particularly proactive – he immediately stopped the operating pump, leaving the other person stunned. Secondly, when a toxic substance leaked, the operator rushed back to get an oxygen mask and then went to deal with the leak; he collapsed within less than 2 minutes. The respirator valve wasn’t open, and it suffocated me. Thirdly, in the tank truck used to transport nitric acid, which was modified to carry organic amines, a small amount of nitric acid remaining at the bottom of the tank wasn’t cleaned up properly, and as a result the tank exploded. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The individual contractors responsible for transporting goods act carelessly, while the company’s filling staff fail to manage the vehicles properly and do not conduct thorough inspections. One must take these things seriously during training – both the written tests and hands-on operations require repeated practice. Everyone must pass the training exam, and it has to be taken again after a while. How many new things can there be in a factory? It mainly involves studying hard and practicing diligently on the problems encountered, striving for excellence. Chemical plants are too dangerous; it’s never too careful to be.
This really requires attention – safety comes first. This year I was planning to get a certification in occupational safety as well; it’s good to keep learning too
Let’s hear some examples, hehe. I still prefer listening to examples
