Do we have to wait until it’s discontinued? What to do if the micro CnHm analyzer is broken?

“The equipment is malfunctioning, and the corrective measures have not been implemented; production must be halted for repairs now! ”On July 24, at Anyang Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. in Henan Province, the national law enforcement inspection team for the chemical industry issued orders to suspend operations for rectification. That morning, they arrived at the company; after a brief division of tasks, one team from the working group went to the testing instrument room located at the entrance of the air compressors on the second floor of the air separation workshop. “Why is this testing instrument keeping giving alarms? ”Experts from the working group detected anomalies. There was a moment of silence first, after which someone from the company said hesitantly, “This instrument is broken.” ”
Before the expert could finish speaking, a staff member acted quickly and turned off the instrument right away. Seeing this, the expert from the working group said angrily, “You turned off the instruments, and there’s no manual analysis to compensate for it – isn’t that just waiting for something to go wrong?” ”“It broke yesterday. ”The staff member muttered under their breath. “So what do you use to detect the hydrocarbon content in liquid oxygen? ”“The current testing method involves measuring the carbon dioxide content in the molecular sieve at the air inlet... We will contact the manufacturer right now to send someone to carry out repairs. ”“It is completely unfounded from a scientific perspective to estimate the total hydrocarbon content based on carbon dioxide levels! ”The experts from the working group were deeply concerned by a series of actions and responses from the company’s staff, and therefore proposed going to the control room to take a look. A new problem has emerged. The working group found that the instrument which had just “stopped working” was actually shown as “normal” on the control room DCS system.
“This issue must be clarified; not a second can be wasted. ”The team members began to go through the records in order to further analyze the potential risks. In this air-conditioned control room, the relevant officials of the company looked at one another, drenched in sweat. The lies were exposed one by one: first of all, that testing device didn’t break \"yesterday\", but it was identified as a potential problem back on July 19th. Secondly, the risk mitigation plan developed by this company for this issue does not include any measures to test the total hydrocarbon content. Secondly, even this plan with extremely poor feasibility was not stamped or signed, and the operator on duty was not even aware of it. “I just took over and haven’t seen this yet. ”The operator said. “There is no system for confirming reports to the police; it’s the responsibility of the company’s management, not yours, so there’s no need to hide it. ”The team member paused and said, “It’s a lack of systems!” ”As of the time of publication, the working group has handed over the potential hazards to the Anyang Emergency Management Bureau.
Checking the records, it seems there are no records of the testing instruments being sent for regular inspection. There is still a flaw in the system.
If a problem is found, it’s addressed; if not, then just turn a blind eye. Is it the same for everything?
It must be dealt with seriously; the worker’s life is no joke.
