At around 17:16 on June 5, 2023, an explosion and fire broke out in the raw material storage warehouse of Xuri Protective Materials Co., Ltd. in Xixia County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, resulting in 4 deaths. Preliminary analysis of the accident cause: Due to leaks in the raw material storage warehouse, water came into contact with materials such as slaked lime, magnesium powder, and aluminum particles stored there, resulting in the release of flammable gases such as hydrogen and acetylene. It is preliminarily determined that sparks generated by workers cutting the warehouse ceiling came into contact with the flammable gases accumulated in the warehouse, resulting in an explosive combustion.
The safety management system is incomplete, and there is a tendency to rely on luck
