Let’s talk about the accidents you all encountered! Even if you haven’t died yet, you are all very lucky!

I have been working in the chemical industry for three years, and I have encountered quite a lot of accidents, big and small. It’s a bit scary when I think about it! Accident 1. I am in a state-owned enterprise, which mainly produces diphenylamine. The pressure used in the process is 20 kg. It was the summer of 2004 when the company was conducting its first test run. Due to the wrong selection of the heat exchanger, the heat exchange gas seal head was pushed open at 230 degrees and 20 kilograms of material was sprayed out in front of my eyes without hitting me. Lucky me! ! ! Accident 2: I quickly inspected the reactor in the workshop and found that the reactor was shaking. I asked the operator how many reactors had been pressed. He told me slowly that it was 23 reactors. Why didn't he die when he fainted? Relieve the pressure quickly, it's okay. Accident 3: I switched jobs to the current factory, which is privately owned and the operators are all migrant workers. The first night shift found smoke coming from the third floor, and the operators were standing around. If chlorosulfonic acid is emitted, stop the pump immediately and dilute the sewer residual liquid with water and alkali. Later, upon investigation, I found out that the stuff was a carcinogen and would explode when exposed to water! :L Accident 4: Niacin was sprayed yesterday and the operator made a mistake. I flashed aside, and the buddy who went up to handle it burned his hands. Accident 5: Today, the cold material was sprayed into the hot pot again. :L It also causes cancer. It looks like I'm going to run away. People at the chemical industry entrance, please be careful! :L
N years ago, after graduating from college, I worked as an operator in a chemical plant of Sinopec Corp., and it took me five years to open a valve. Event one: At 2:30 in the morning one summer, the water-packed liquid level gauge at the bottom of the 20-cubic circulating hydrogen container at the hydrogen compressor station in our workshop suddenly exploded. The pressure of the entire high-pressure system dropped from 7.0MPa to less than 0.2MPa. Fortunately, it did not explode on the hour. The liquid level gauge is a key point for our hourly inspection. The word "danger" is that! Event 2: One morning shift, I was cleaning the machines in the hydrogen compressor factory as usual. Suddenly there was a loud bang, a steam valve above my head exploded, and a piece of iron with a diameter of 4cm flew out from the valve seat and flew past me. Now that I have left Sinopec, hehe, I will no longer work in chemical operations. I have switched my career to design! Brothers who are still working in chemical plants, please take care!
With all due respect, the unit where the hero works, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, is suspected of barbaric operations. It seems that you do not conduct safety production education or read operating procedures? I feel that the operation and technology are a bit numb. If this continues, it will harm others and myself! :@ :'(
Strictly implement three-level safety education and strengthen equipment management.
Standing on the platform, the entire steel plate was rusted, and I was free-falling... :L Fortunately, it was only 1.7m high, and there were only a few scratches! Never climb higher again! ! ! :$
I have worked in a chemical plant for many years and have seen many accidents, all of which were inappropriate. Most of them take things for granted and don't follow the procedures, which results in accidents. I conclude, don’t be afraid of trouble and do things according to the rules. ； In addition, you must be careful when working, remember the three no harms, and wear labor protection equipment in a standardized manner. Be careful, everyone!
Do you believe in premonitions? ? That year, I had a dream the night before that I was cleaning up black and sticky things with my teammates. As a result, our hot oil pump room caught fire the next day! ! Very lucky! ! It's not serious, and no one is involved. Stop feeding in time, turn on the fire steam, and call 119. Just less broken equipment and no casualties. The pump room is leaking heavy oil. Haha, we have to clean up the heavy oil! !
I only encountered one car accident, three people died and seven others were injured. I was relatively lucky :L
There is no way, cost and safety are contradictory. In order to pursue maximum profits, some companies have lost experienced and high-priced employees. Even the minimum employee training for newbies has been simplified. Modern monitoring and automatic control are too expensive to use. They have also been sidelined in other aspects and have to muddle along. They have to pray to God to protect them from accidents.
Can safety management create profits?
When my colleague was repairing the valve, the valve gasket caught fire due to leakage. Fortunately, he didn't miss it and ran fast! !
When our coking unit was put into operation in April 2006, the outlet of the steam generator (producing 10 kilograms of steam) in the middle section of the fractionation tower was not opened and the safety valve was not engaged. The entire drum was jumping and shaking wildly. The veteran operators were scared away. A graduate student who had been in the factory for less than a year climbed onto the drum and opened the vent valve. After investigation, the pressure in the drum at that time was 13 kilograms, while the design pressure was only 12 kilograms. Lucky! The young man saved his life.
One year's accident losses across the country are equivalent to the hard work of more than 10 million employees being wiped out for one year, and it is equivalent to nearly 100 million farmers losing their harvest for one year. ——Luo Yun, the author of my country's first safety economics, said sadly. The cost of the accident was heavy. The proportion of accident economic losses in corporate costs ranges from 3% to over 8% in various industrial countries, even exceeding the average profit rate of many industries. A research report by the British Safety and Health Executive (HSE) shows that losses caused by factory injuries, occupational diseases and non-injurious accidents account for approximately 5% to 10% of profits of British companies. A survey by the National Security Council (NSC) showed that: Every dollar invested by an enterprise in safety management can reduce accident costs by an average of $8.5. More than 700,000 accidents occur in my country's business community every year, with direct economic losses reaching 250 billion yuan. Take a look at this data and you will know whether investment in safety can create profits!~
Most accidents are man-made, and the quality of people needs to be improved.
Oh my god, poster, "yesterday" and "today", your unit has too many problems, accidents happen every day. Think of ways to improve it
I have seen so much that I feel numb. I only know that my colleagues have changed careers one after another.
People upstairs, you still need to pay attention to safety. Don't be numb. The more you see, the more attention you need to pay.
Due to a problem with the system valve of the compressor, the inlet and outlet valves were not closed at the same time during a stop, resulting in an overpressure explosion! ! ! This scared one of my classmates away and quit! ! ! Most of the glass in the workshop was shattered!
I have been working in a chemical plant for 17 years, and I have not encountered many serious incidents. But once, when a nearby gas depot was inspecting a liquefied gas tank, the top of the tank caught fire, and almost everyone in the factory ran away. The duty lies, so we can only stay at the scene. :D
Working in the chemical industry, you encounter a lot of safety accidents. As an individual, you must remember not to do anything that is unsafe, and you must think carefully before doing anything. When assigning tasks, safety must be considered first.
As an operator, you can only think about yourself when it comes to safety work, and you cannot rely on your leaders. Protecting yourself is the most important thing.
