Major drowning and suffocation accident at Shandong Weifang Huahao Agrochemical Co., Ltd. On June 5, 2016, a drowning and suffocation accident occurred in the water-soluble fertilizer production workshop of Shandong Weifang Huahao Agrochemical Co., Ltd., resulting in 3 deaths and direct economic losses of around 2.4 million yuan. The operator started the pump in order to transfer the material in the tank to the subsequent equipment, but found that it was not possible to extract the material. Without checking the oxygen and toxic gas concentrations or wearing any personal protective equipment, they went into the tank to investigate the situation, and died as a result of oxygen deficiency ； Two other workers entered the tank without wearing personal protective equipment in an attempt to carry out rescue efforts, and they also died from asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen, which further exacerbated the consequences of the accident.
