According to Sinopec News Network (Wan Li, An Yufeng), recently Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. has taken a number of measures to enhance the management of ethylene oxide loading, ensuring that such operations are carried out safely and smoothly. Ethylene oxide medium is toxic, harmful, flammable, and explosive, posing high risks during loading operations. To ensure the safe loading of ethylene oxide and prevent accidents, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical has developed a checklist specifically for the loading operations of ethylene oxide. Through a combination of daily, weekly, and monthly inspections, comprehensive checks are carried out on the equipment and facilities used for loading ethylene oxide, the standardization of operations, the accuracy of records, and the reliability of personnel. Written records are kept as evidence, thereby enhancing management and supervision at the professional technical level. To control the risks associated with the loading process, Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Co., Ltd. organized technical personnel from the process, equipment, and safety departments, as well as the operators and managers of the external units responsible for ethylene oxide loading, to conduct a risk analysis of this process. By analyzing each step of the operation, the company was able to identify and assess all potential risks. Improvement measures were developed for those risks that posed a high level of danger, and these measures were included in the training materials for the personnel involved in ethylene oxide loading.
