The previous day, during the night shift, operators in the compression workshop showed symptoms of CO poisoning; fortunately, they were removed from the area in time, preventing more serious consequences. Upon inspection, it was found that water had seeped in due to a leakage; the outlet was installed indoors, and the wind was blowing directly inward at that time, with doors and windows kept tightly closed because of the cold weather. It causes mild poisoning in the operators. I hope everyone pays attention as winter is approaching. Preventing CO poisoning is a matter of life and death!
