At 3:04 p.m. on the 23rd, a serious safety accident occurred at the construction site of Chongqing Jianfeng Industrial Group Company’s 450,000-ton synthetic ammonia/800,000-ton urea production project in Fuling. The construction platform of a granulation tower in one of the urea production units collapsed, resulting in 12 deaths and 2 injuries. http://photocdn.sohu.com/20090324/Img262966966.jpg http://photocdn.sohu.com/20090324/Img262966967.jpg http://photocdn.sohu.com/20090324/Img262966968.jpg http://photocdn.sohu.com/20090324/Img262966969.jpg These are photos of the accident scene. How should such safety incidents be handled? And as a property owner, how should one choose a contractor? . . . . . . . :@
Such safety accidents must, and should, give rise to criminal liability; they can only be resolved through negotiation with the construction company, and if that fails, legal action can be taken in court. As a property owner, here are my personal thoughts: 1. When selecting contractors, qualifications come first, followed by choosing those who are experienced and knowledgeable. These days, there are many companies that operate under the name of larger firms – who knows whether they actually have the necessary experience? 2. The supervision team on our side should consist of people who are responsible-minded; this is very important. 3. We should also form a small, amateur-based supervision team to address any issues as they arise promptly. During the construction process, our company encountered quite a few quality problems; we made serious mistakes in the first two aspects, but we did a better job in the third aspect, which helped us mitigate much of the damage
I can’t see the picture. However, as a construction professional, if it is a construction-related issue and the useful life is within five years, I believe the construction company should be held accountable. If it is a material issue, then the material supplier shall be held accountable.
According to the \"Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Accidents\" issued by the State Council, an accident that results in the death of 10 to 30 people is considered a major accident. Those responsible for such an accident must take immediate action to save lives as a top priority upon receiving reports of the accident, and they must report to the relevant authorities within 1 hour. The report should include information such as an overview of the unit where the accident occurred, the time, location, and conditions at the scene; a brief description of the accident; the number of casualties that have occurred or may occur; the measures that have been taken; and any other information that needs to be reported. The accident investigation team must submit an investigation report within 60 days. The main responsible persons should be subject to penalties such as removal from office, dismissal, or suspension for observation. The top leaders and supervisors of the unit shall, depending on the extent of their responsibility, be removed from office or given a severe reprimand, along with a fine equivalent to 3 to 4 times their average monthly salary. In the event of serious management failures, dismissal shall be imposed, and the individual shall not hold any important leadership positions for 5 years.
Incidents of such a massive scale involving numerous deaths and injuries must be reported to the **State Administration of Work Safety**. Local authorities, enterprises, supervision agencies, and construction companies are all involved; the key is to determine the cause of the accident. From the perspective of project construction models alone, a facility with an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 800,000 tons of urea is by no means a small project. Why then did Jianfeng choose the E+P+C model, which entails taking on all the risks itself, rather than engaging a qualified engineering company to carry out the EPC contract work?
Ongoing projects should be the responsibility of the contracting company! Sigh, what does it matter who’s in charge? Can the dead come back to life? ! ! ? What does a supervisor do? ? ! ! No more complaining; it’s useless. It’s better to focus fully on doing one’s job well and ensuring safety in the area.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of quality laws, in the event of an accident caused by issues related to the quality of the installation work, responsibility must be held, regardless of how many years have passed. In the case of such serious accidents, the relevant authorities are certainly going to conduct an investigation. Hold the responsible parties accountable and bring them to justice.
Hold the relevant responsible persons criminally liable
