Regarding the discussion on the causes of safety accidents in chemical plants, I hope everyone feels free to share their opinions

Safety cannot be solely the responsibility of management; all departments have a role to play. For example, the purchaser may fail to ensure strict quality control during procurement, conduct inadequate quality inspections, and be irresponsible in terms of technology. Safety should not be the responsibility of security departments alone; prevention measures must be considered at every stage.

Ultimately, all safety accidents are caused by management, unless someone deliberately causes the accident.

Here are two examples of minor safety incidents that occurred. 1. I have used explosion-proof flashlights before; an operator on shift used a flashlight with cracked glass to carry out inspections. During those inspections, benzene spilled into the flashlight, and through the cracks in the glass it penetrated inside the flashlight, causing a small fire. The staff in this workshop immediately took action, while workers from other workshops brought fire extinguishers to put out the fire. If the fire hadn’t been extinguished, it could have led to an explosion of 1 ton of benzene. 2. The protagonist is me; I was perched on the reaction vessel, using a sight glass to monitor the contents of the reaction mixture. An operator next to me was using an electric hoist (with a cable box placed on the I-beam that supported the hoist). When the electric hoist was started, the I-beam began to vibrate violently, causing the lid of the cable box to fall off – the lid was 4 meters long – and it hit me right on the head, knocking me unconscious. The first accident can be attributed to the operator using inappropriate tools, but on the other hand, it is also caused by insufficient education and a lack of safety awareness. The second accident was caused by poor design and the failure to secure the wire boxes; at its core, it was due to inadequate identification of safety hazards. My analysis might be one-sided, but when it comes to giving rewards, managers should start at the lower levels, and when imposing punishments, they should start at the higher levels, so as not to demoralize the employees.

After an accident, there are discussions after discussions, reflections after reflections, and the systems are improved again and again. I think the most important thing is to implement things repeatedly.

Safety begins with leadership attention; furthermore, detailed safety protocols are established and strictly enforced. Employees should be encouraged to report safety hazards and offer suggestions for improvement, and rewards should be given for this. At first, there may be many such reports, but don’t worry; by taking proper action to address them, the number will decrease over time. The amount of money awarded to employees may be small, but eliminating safety hazards is what truly matters most in terms of safe production.

The cause of the accident was: first, safety measures were not taken； II. Carry out superficial safety measures (such as holding meetings without taking actual action, and safety officers lacking genuine expertise) ； III. Company Management Model

Work safety issues, in the end, are all related to \"people\"... Those who pay the money are unwilling to spend more, while those who do the work are too lazy to follow the rules…
