Range of video surveillance settings
Thread Content
In the chemical industry, which facilities require video surveillance design and which do not? There are clear regulations regarding major hazard sources, but what about other individual facilities? Class A and B facilities, auxiliary facilities, exhaust gas treatment facilities, environmental protection facilities, and so on.
For major hazard sources, implementation is mandatory as stipulated; for other areas, the decision regarding whether to install surveillance systems can be made based on the importance of the position, the equipment and facilities involved, and the level of risk. Organizations with sufficient funds can install surveillance systems in key areas such as control rooms, while more affluent organizations can implement comprehensive video surveillance covering every corner, including the surrounding walls of the facility, all access points, and basement areas. In addition, fire control rooms and central control rooms must be installed.
The several units we’ve worked on recently all require coverage throughout the entire plant. The day before yesterday, another client raised objections and asked for evidence to justify why video surveillance is needed for the ammonia recovery system; we spent a long time looking for relevant evidence but couldn’t find any, so we’re turning to everyone for help.
Tell the owner that the more surveillance cameras there are, the better; generally, video surveillance systems must be installed in areas where companies carry out operations involving hazardous chemicals, pressure vessels, or other special types of operations. The purposes are: (1) Monitoring of work standardization ； (2) Early detection of accidents ； (3) The accident investigation is based on evidence.
