What are people’s thoughts on the \"4·6\" explosion and fire incident at Tenglong Aromatics (Zhangzhou) Co., Ltd.?

Process safety is a major concern in chemical safety.

However, at present, most domestic petrochemical companies are only concerned with occupational safety, without truly paying attention to process safety

In fact, accidents are often the result of the combined effect of multiple potential hazards: in this accident, **both the relevant functional departments, the third-party supervision agencies, and the company all bear share of responsibility that cannot be shirked:** on one hand, there were people without the necessary welding qualifications； Reports issued by personnel without non-destructive testing qualifications have been approved by the relevant functional departments ； Regarding supervision: In fact, in many cases today, the purpose for which supervision positions were originally created is not being fulfilled at all ； These days, many project supervisors side entirely with the construction parties, which **creates gaps in the supervision of these supervisors ； On the other hand, it is closely related to the professional competence of the supervisors themselves ； On the company’s side: there are serious problems ； With so many unqualified personnel joining the construction team, it is not acceptable to outsource the project and then neglect to oversee it ； Leave it entirely to the contractor for management ； No reflection is carried out after the accident; the focus is instead on identifying potential hazards ； Emergency measures are inadequate ；

That’s true; most companies lack process safety, and their leadership does not have a genuine awareness or understanding of process safety.
