Thread Content

In early March, a comprehensive inspection team from the State Council’s Work Safety Committee conducted random inspections on the special rectification efforts aimed at addressing major work safety hazards in Guangxi. The inspection team conducted random checks on restaurants in the area surrounding the campus, and found that many of these restaurants had issues such as illegally connected hoses and the use of stoves without flame-out protection. Experts from the inspection team said that gas cylinders are very powerful, and in the event of a leak that leads to an explosion, the residences located above the restaurant building would also be affected. Several other restaurants also have issues such as the placement of liquefied gas cylinders in public dining areas, and the improper installation of gas alarm control boxes. In response to the above issues, the local authorities have ordered restaurants and gas companies to make immediate corrections.
