What tools should be available in the utility stations of chemical production facilities? Tell me about it
Thread Content
Utility stations essentially contain various utility materials such as industrial water, plant air, low-pressure steam, and nitrogen. On a few occasions, in situations where the process conditions were critical and the necessary tools could not be found on site, this delayed the optimal timing for dealing with the incident. So, are non-explosion-proof essential tools available in these on-site utility stations? Such as: valve wrench, hose, backflow prevention device
The personnel on the job should be best aware of the tools required for on-site operations. Otherwise, it means the training was not completed successfully. This includes whether explosion protection is required, and all aspects must be clearly explained in the operational training and safety training for the position
It’s not about what tools are needed for on-site operations; rather, these tools are all in one place. There’s no problem when everything is fine, but when issues arise, having to retrieve the tools from that location delays things.
This issue is what is commonly referred to as 5S management. The materials and tools used on site should be placed in designated locations, with clear markings – isn’t that the solution? For production sites, there are regulations regarding the provision of emergency rescue equipment, and this approach can also be adopted.
