Ensuring the quality of equipment can reduce production safety accidents

Thread Content

As enterprises expand their production scale, continue to improve their processes, and increase output, the equipment and instruments that operate on a continuous basis are prone to malfunctioning – exhibiting abnormal noises, vibrations, inaccurate readings from the instruments, or damaged gaskets. As for the new equipment and instruments, since their operation is not yet stable and operators are not familiar with them, this can lead to mistakes in operation, thereby causing various production accidents. Therefore, chemical companies should attach great importance to the safe management of their equipment. It is necessary to establish a scientific and effective safety management system for equipment and facilities, as well as to set up and improve a registration system for production equipment and facilities. Priority should be given to strengthening the management and maintenance of special equipment, pressure vessels, large-scale production equipment, storage tanks, warehouse storage equipment, as well as safety devices. Designated personnel should be responsible for these tasks, with regular inspections and repairs carried out. Any safety issues identified during inspections must be addressed immediately; if they cannot be resolved, they should be reported promptly to the relevant supervisors in the organization, and records of the inspections and actions taken should be kept. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the management of various safety devices, as well as electrical protection, lightning protection, and explosion prevention facilities; these safety facilities must not be removed arbitrarily. The **chemicals** in discarded or long-term unused equipment must be thoroughly cleaned promptly, isolated and labeled, or transferred to a safe location.
