What to do in extreme weather?

I’ve only seen watches damaged by lightning; in such cases, one usually starts with manual adjustment before contacting a repair service. Then there was the heavy rain that led to a shortage of steam, but we managed to get through it each time.

Strong winds and hail generally don’t cause major problems. However, when there is a thunderstorm, it has a significant impact on the temperature control of the equipment; it’s necessary to adjust heat sources such as steam in a timely manner to compensate for changes in temperature. Additionally, during thunderstorms, extra attention should be paid to the possibility of power outages

Thunderstorms often cause power fluctuations; it’s the worst kind of weather. Going to work in such conditions is stressful, and thunderstorms also affect the temperature of furnaces and heat exchangers. Strong winds affect the negative pressure in the furnace, increasing the difficulty of adjusting it. Also, avoid climbing to heights on days with strong winds; pay close attention to the weather during inspections to be cautious of anything falling down. Hail generally has little impact; I’m from the north, and the likelihood of hailstorms there is quite low.

Normally, every company should have emergency plans to deal with both unexpected and routine incidents. If not, improve it as soon as possible; if it already exists, enhance the training and drills related to the emergency plan in order to raise employees’ safety awareness!

Activate the emergency plan promptly and follow the rules strictly...

Some tasks need to be carried out on a regular basis, such as the routine inspection of lightning protection systems and keeping flood control facilities in ready condition. Only by doing these fundamental tasks properly on a daily basis can one avoid problems. Additionally, there are emergency response drills to conduct

First, relevant emergency plans should be established (for power outages, water shortages, storms, typhoons, or malfunctions in critical equipment). Staff training must be strengthened to inform them when it is necessary to initiate emergency procedures, what actions should be taken in response to abnormalities, when it is required to shut down operations, and when external assistance needs to be sought. All these procedures must be clear to front-line managers, especially those in shift leadership roles, as they are the ones who issue emergency orders； It is necessary to have sufficient emergency supplies; not only must these supplies be available in adequate quantities, but their effectiveness also needs to be ensured (to prevent them from turning out to be ineffective when needed, which could lead to more serious consequences) ； Regular drills, including those with external parties, are conducted to ensure that the company’s emergency communication network remains operational at all times.
