【Haichuan Chemical Accident Update】Fire breaks out at a conveyor belt during maintenance at a steel plant in Liaoning
Thread Content
At around 1:30 p.m. on March 31, a fire broke out accidentally in a blast furnace that was shut down for maintenance at Lingyuan Iron and Steel Company in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province; the exact location of the fire was the feeding conveyor belt of Blast Furnace No. 5. Around 2:20, the fire was brought under control by the fire department, and the open flames were extinguished. As Lingang Steel is undergoing annual maintenance, its employees are not at work; only some maintenance workers are present on site. Therefore, no casualties have been reported so far. The exact cause of the fire is unknown. The relevant departments are conducting an investigation.
With such a large scale, how does the fire alarm system function? Are the safety monitoring facilities effective? There are likely many gaps in the risk control measures
Sigh, there are some things that should be avoided; it’s useless to regret things once they have gone wrong
Objectively analyze the reasons, strengthen awareness of critical limits, and keep the alarm bells ringing
There’s definitely going to be an additional fine for this; the situation is quite serious
Maintenance fires are related to the use of fire without proper protection in violation of regulations
