The external distance of established enterprises is insufficient; how to address this
Thread Content
What to do about the insufficient external distance of old enterprises: At present, many old enterprises were established in the 1950s and 1960s, and the distance required at that time was sufficient; however, with the development of cities, the external distance of many of these enterprises no longer meets the requirements for health protection distances, let alone those for fire safety. Is there any alternative to relocation?
The general advice is to strengthen security management; it seems there are no other solutions
Firewalls, isolation walls, etc. can be added; there are no other options.
Old enterprises with high risks should be gradually relocated. Enterprises with low risk improve their overall safety through factors such as technological upgrades: loveliness:
Our company was also an established enterprise; during the safety assessment, it was found that the distance was insufficient. Initially, the assessment companies recommended that we relocate. However, during the expert review, one expert said that relocation is not a simple solution – we should focus on ways to prevent problems and make necessary improvements, such as installing fire barriers, replacing motors with explosion-proof ones, adding carbon monoxide detectors, implementing standardized safety management practices, strengthening oversight, and increasing inspections, among other things.
An external distance that does not meet the standards is a serious flaw for a company, and it also limits the company’s future development; no amount of technical measures can resolve the issue of the company not meeting the required safety distances. Companies should still focus on relocating to other locations and upgrading their technology. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the impact will be extremely severe; not only domestically but it’s likely to make headlines internationally as well. To the point that even the Prime Minister has to issue orders, and Lord Li has to step in to resolve the situation – this is really troublesome. There must be someone in the company who takes the blame, and it’s possible that the officials in the bureau might also lose their positions.
Moving is not too easy; it’s better to take preventive measures
It’s difficult to relocate businesses, especially those old ones that are not profitable; instead of trying to move them, it’s better to shut them down! Generally, this involves strengthening security management, installing firewalls, and carrying out security awareness campaigns among the public.
By strengthening security management and building firewalls, can we really compromise on security standards? If that’s the case, what’s the point of all those gaps then? In fact, the most important aspect of safety work is the mindset – whether safety is truly given top priority! That way, there will be no bargaining over security issues!
