Can special tasks be converted into regular tasks?

The production of acetylene from calcium carbide is the most common method for acetylene synthesis. Generally, the coarse crushing equipment for calcium carbide is installed below ground level, which facilitates the stacking and storage of the raw material calcium carbide as well as the feeding process. Production equipment and the areas surrounding it are subjects of regular inspections by the personnel working at the production facilities; since the equipment is located below ground level, it falls under the definition of a \"confined space\". However, inspecting equipment and facilities as well as cleaning the work area are routine tasks that need to be carried out on a shift basis or even hourly; if these tasks involve entering a \"confined space,\" they should be managed in accordance with the procedures for working in confined spaces. To be honest, special operation management needs to be handled with strictness and care, as the risks associated with such operations are indeed very high, and there are an enormous number of accident cases. However, the tasks mentioned above are routine daily tasks that all require special approval procedures – isn’t that too cumbersome and troublesome? Can this assignment above be changed to a regular assignment? If possible, what should be done to meet the standards?
As long as nothing goes wrong, it’s fine; but if something does happen, all regulations must be followed
I think inspections can be turned into routine tasks, but appropriate safety equipment is necessary; for example, toxic and harmful gas detectors as well as oxygen level monitors should be installed in underground areas, and inspectors should carry portable monitors with them, providing a dual monitoring system that also requires regular calibration； Monitoring cameras can also be installed to turn the inspection areas into monitored zones, thereby reducing the volume of inspection tasks
Increase the space, install stairs, add ventilation fans, implement gas analysis monitoring, and modify the design.
So, it should be said that standards are necessary. When it comes to following standards, one must act in accordance with them; after all, these standards are the result of the experiences of those who came before us, and some of them were even established at the cost of blood and lives ； Secondly, standards can also be used to improve work procedures and the working environment as well as to control risks, thereby enabling a certain task to become a routine operation
By establishing standardized operating procedures, setting up necessary testing methods, and having comprehensive institutional support, it can become a routine task
I hope your suggestion will receive more support:handshake
Generally, a company’s operations can be divided into two categories: routine operations and non-routine operations (which include hazardous operations). Routine operations are based on standard operating procedures, work sheets, and maintenance protocols, while non-routine operations involve the use of work permits to identify and control risks. To convert such operations into routine ones, it is necessary to rely on established procedures in order to ensure compliance and rationality.
Develop operating standards and procedures to make them routine
Establish standard operating procedures and define inspection areas and checklists!
Routine special operations require even stricter management; vigilance must not be relaxed just because they have become routine. Ticket approval can be simplified, but management standards must not be lowered. And all of these can be internalized as your own safety procedures; they are not independent or unrelated to each other.
