Is it okay to use mobile phones at production facilities?

2009-10-29View Original

Thread Content

Nowadays, many installation sites have warning signs saying "No use of mobile phones in the installation", but I personally feel that mobile phones do not generate static electricity. Some people say that mobile phones will generate electromagnetic signal pulses when the signal is connected, but is there any basis for this statement? We also consulted oil refining veterans, and some also questioned this regulation. Please ask everyone: Is there any basis for this provision?

http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=353196 Don't be afraid of ten thousand if you answer the phone and cause a gas station explosion, just be afraid of the unexpected!

The original poster’s question is a good one, but to be honest, I don’t really think much of it. There is no doubt that mobile phones are prohibited in all devices, but how high is the risk factor? Don’t we often engage in electric welding and gas cutting in our facility? How big is the fire? I think the danger only occurs with large scale spills

This is really an unclear question. My workplace does not allow mobile phones, but the walkie-talkies we use are not explosion-proof. Is it okay? So this is an unclear question.

Safety should come first. If something goes wrong, it’s not a trivial matter.

A system for banning mobile phones should be formed in petrochemical units and flammable and explosive places. Intercoms must be explosion-proof and safe. It must be based on accident prevention to best control risks.

There is no basis for it. It is scary. The key is to let employees concentrate on their work and not just hide in the installation area and talk on their cell phones where others cannot see them.

Generally, it is fine during normal production. Otherwise, if you can't stand such a "fire source", you should not produce. But when problems arise, such as leakage of light oil or flammable gas, it is absolutely dangerous to carry a mobile phone. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the system. We usually carry mobile phones, but when encountering the above situation, we consciously turn off the mobile phone or do not carry it.

Personally think: As long as you don't use it where there is gas or gasoline, there should be no problem. The key is that sometimes people may forget it, so it is prohibited!

This must be banned! Especially in the chemical industry, and even more so in the hydrogenation industry, cell phone calls are absolutely not allowed in the equipment. The explosion range of hydrogen is very large. 4%-75%, there is a high chance that pulses will cause a fire when talking on a mobile phone.

It should be banned, but sometimes it is more convenient to carry a mobile phone. Sometimes I think it should be banned in some necessary places. For example, when liquefied gas and gasoline leak, it must be banned, otherwise it will ignite and explode.
