1. Is it considered a major safety hazard if the combustible gas detectors installed by a company are set to detect incorrect gases? 【Answer】Yes 【Basis】Expert Guidance Service Manual for Counties with High Risks of Hazardous Chemicals -- Detailed Standards for Identifying Serious Hazards, Article 12: Facilities involving leaks of flammable and toxic gases fail to install detection and alarm devices in accordance with **standards, while facilities in areas at risk of explosion fail to install and use explosion-proof electrical equipment in accordance with **standards. 2. If the types of flammable and toxic/hazardous gas detectors installed by the enterprise are incorrect (such as the wrong detection targets or incorrect classification as flammable or toxic), it is considered as no detectors being installed, and this is deemed a serious safety hazard.
Yes, an incorrect detection target for the combustible gas detectors set by the enterprise is considered a serious hazard. According to the criteria for identifying major hazards outlined in the Expert Guidance Service Manual for Counties with High Risks of Hazardous Chemicals, if the type of combustible and toxic/gas detectors is incorrect – for example, if the substance to be detected or its combustible/toxic nature is wrong – it is considered as though no detectors have been installed, and this is thus classified as a major hazard. .
