On November 8, the eighth group of the second ministerial-level supervision and inspection team of the Ministry of Emergency Management’s 2022 second ministerial-level supervision and inspection team for major hazardous chemicals enterprises carried out supervision and inspection in Liaoning. XXXX Petrochemical Co., Ltd. located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province has three major hazard sources. In the company's fire control room, only 4 of the 8 operators had certificates. In order to understand the company's emergency response capabilities to dangerous situations, the supervision and inspection team simulated a leak and fire in the tank area. After the "accident" occurred, the company personnel took 7 minutes to arrive at the scene and rushed into the "toxic fire scene" alone without wearing air respirators. The local emergency management department has required them to make rectifications.
