Is it not allowed to bring lighters in through the second gate of the chemical plant? How do you light the gas cutting torch?

The reason why lighters are not allowed at the second gate of the chemical plant is to prevent fire accidents. In chemical plants, there are many flammable and explosive substances, and if a lighter is accidentally ignited, it could cause a serious fire. The ignition method for gas cutting torches is usually a safe and reliable calcium carbide ignition or spark ignition, without the need for a lighter. Chemical plants have strict regulations regarding safety management. To ensure the safety of employees and equipment, we must strictly abide by these regulations to maintain a safe working environment. .

There must be another meaning to it; normal use is fine, but using a lighter together with cigarettes is not allowed

There are specialized tools for starting gas cutting, not lighters. In our previous company, not to mention the second gate, we couldn’t even enter the production area through the first gate; the security guards checked for fireworks, and the workers in the workshops also did the same – anyone caught with fireworks was fired.

It is common sense that lighters are not allowed in chemical plants. As for the necessary hot work within the factory premises, a hot work permit must be obtained.

For gas cutting ignition, no lighter is needed – what tool should be used?

Search for igniters on Taobao; generally, lighters are used for ignition as they are convenient. However, these lighters belong to the company rather than individuals, so they certainly weren’t brought into the factory by private people.
