Liquefied gas, petroleum — chemical plants — mobile phones
Thread Content
I just started working at a chemical plant (for oil and liquefied gas) and found that the restrictions on mobile phones within the plant are not strict. It is said that in such flammable and explosive environments where the use of mobile phones is prohibited, isn’t there a safety risk when turning on a device and entering the factory area? And does receiving text messages generate static electricity, creating a safety hazard?
Is that radio waves? Isn’t the probability of static electricity being generated extremely low? Some companies have strict requirements for large-scale transfer equipment, fearing that signals may interfere with it.
I believe it’s the phone call that can trigger an explosion in an instant; the key factor is that the concentration of the explosive substance in the air is within the explosive range. In 2011, we experienced a fire caused by a liquefied gas leak. In winter, the first point of explosion was likely to be among the employees; their mobile phones became unusable, but thanks to their timely evacuation, there were no serious problems. ——Leaks often occur suddenly, right when you pass by a certain place – a leak suddenly happens in the vicinity... Those who haven’t seen it don’t realize how severe it can be.
Do not challenge the rules – you won’t be able to bear the consequences~~~~ There are already many accidents caused by mobile phones~~~
Even when taking gasoline samples, and if a call arrives at that moment, there is a risk of explosion; so it’s better to ban it, for one’s own safety. . .
It’s best not to use a smartphone; the first victim is oneself
Safety regulations must be based on scientific principles; events with a low probability of occurrence do not mean they will not happen. The consequences that will arise are beyond anyone’s ability to bear.
To be honest, nowadays everyone’s awareness of safety is quite outdated.
It is best not to use mobile phones in flammable and explosive areas
Many people rely on luck! It’s better to be cautious; safety first! Develop safe behavior habits!*
In areas prone to fire and explosion, the use of non-explosion-proof mobile communication devices is prohibited; regular cell phones certainly cannot be used there.
