【Haichuan 119】Two factory fires in one day; stricter controls on flammable materials needed
Thread Content
Today, there were fires at two factories; one was said to be caused by paint, while the cause of the other is unknown. With winter and the end of the year approaching, proper management of flammable materials is a top priority
Shenzhen – this factory definitely has to be relocated.
It’s not just a matter of relocation; since the direct cause of the fire has not yet been determined, let’s discuss a few issues first. Was the location chosen for this company appropriate? Does the scope of business registration include industrial solid waste treatment? Has due consideration been given to the nature of the enterprise and its scope of operations, from various aspects such as design, construction, and operation (the principle of simultaneous implementation of these elements), in accordance with the policy of giving priority to prevention while combining prevention with suppression? Do the local ** and work safety supervision departments be aware of the specific hazards posed by these enterprises? Do the key persons in charge of the enterprise and those responsible for work safety fulfill their duties? Is daily safety management in place? (Still bad luck this time? ) Without any intention of discrimination, judging from the names of the companies that have disclosed this information, it seems that most of their employees lack adequate education; so do they possess the necessary safety knowledge and skills? Fortunately, there were no casualties.
If the investigation into such incidents reveals that inadequate safety management within the enterprise, as well as insufficient supervision and control, are to blame, and this is the case in Shenzhen, which is considered a window to the world in China, then imagine what will happen in less developed areas where even the social emergency fire-fighting and rescue services are not fully developed. . . Looking at the inspection campaigns reported in recent forums, and considering the ongoing problems with safety management in our provinces in the northwest, it seems that the practice of pursuing GDP growth at any cost still persists. We’ll wait to see what the investigation reports say once they are available. . .
