Thread Content
Company A, a gas supply company, is located in the industrial park of C County, B City, Province N. It has 225 employees, and its legal representative is Jia. A believes that since the company has fewer than 300 employees, there is no need to establish a safety management department, nor is it necessary to hire full-time safety management personnel. Company technician B passed the national registered safety engineer professional qualification exam in 2010, but did not register. B was appointed by A as a part-time safety management officer for the company. It is produced by a gas supply company, and the gas is mainly supplied to residents and local businesses. The company’s 3# and 4# coke oven gas project (referred to as the Coke Oven Gas Project) received approval from the Planning Bureau of County C in August 2009, in the form of a document stating the site selection recommendations for this project by Company A for gas supply. In December 2010, it received approval from the Development and Reform Commission of City B regarding this same project. The main equipment and facilities for the coke oven gas plant include: 2 coke ovens with an annual production capacity of 600,000 tons each, coal preparation and gas purification units as well as production and recovery systems, and 1 dry gas holder with diluted oil sealing, with a capacity of 50,000 m3 (referred to as the gas holder). Inside the gas holder, there is a piston that can move up and down; the space below the piston is used to store gas, while the space above it contains ventilation holes that are connected to the atmosphere. Under normal operating conditions, the piston moves up and down reciprocally inside the gas holder, serving to store coke oven gas and stabilize the pressure in the gas pipeline network. Construction of the gas holder began in May 2011, and no project supervisor was hired for its construction. During the construction of the gas holder, electrical equipment such as non-explosion-proof lighting fixtures and camera sensors was installed on the top of the holder without being designed by a qualified design firm. Completed in July 2012. Since it was put into trial operation in September 2012, Company A has not conducted a safety acceptance assessment for the coke oven gas project, nor has it applied to the relevant safety production supervision authorities for such an assessment; it has thus remained in the trial production phase. As of September 25, 2013, the gas holder was operating normally during trial runs. At 9:20 on September 26, 2013, the level of the oil used for sealing the piston inside the gas holder dropped, causing the piston sealing system to fail. Gas began to leak from the space below the piston into the space above it, and the gas detection alarm installed at the top of the gas holder triggered frequently. B reported the above situation to A on multiple occasions, but it was not given due attention, and the gas holder continued to operate while in a faulty condition. At 17:56 on September 28, 2013, the gas holder suddenly exploded, resulting in its destruction and rendering it unusable. Brick walls within a radius of about 150 meters collapsed, and the doors and windows of buildings within a radius of about 1,000 meters were damaged. The explosion caused damage to the benzene washing tower, benzene removal tower, and reflux tank in the crude benzene processing unit on the north side of the gas holder; crude benzene leaked and caught fire, resulting in an explosion. The accident resulted in 3 deaths, 4 serious injuries, and 29 minor injuries. The losses resulting from the accident include: 4.5 million yuan for medical expenses of the injured, 2.6 million yuan for lost wages of those injured, 38 million yuan for losses to fixed assets such as equipment and facilities, 1.2 million yuan for costs associated with clearing the accident site, 3.22 million yuan for repairs to damaged buildings, 650,000 yuan for dealing with environmental pollution caused by the benzene leak, 30,000 yuan for training new employees, 11.5 million yuan for compensation and funeral expenses, and 2 million yuan in fines related to the accident. Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions (multiple-choice). 1.

1. B. Trial operation of the coke oven gas project. Article 22 of the Interim Measures for the Supervision and Management of the \"Simultaneous Implementation\" of Safety Facilities in Construction Projects stipulates that after the completion of construction projects involving the production or storage of hazardous chemicals, if trial operation is required according to relevant regulations, such trial operation shall be carried out prior to the official commencement of production or use. Coke oven gas projects fall into this category, therefore trial operation should be carried out before official commissioning or use. 2. B. People of Province N**. Article 19 of the Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Accidents (Decree No. 493 of the State Council) stipulates that major accidents, relatively serious accidents, and ordinary accidents shall be investigated respectively by the people’s government at the provincial level where the accident occurred, the people’s government at the city level with districts, and the people’s government at the county level. Provincial people’s **congresses, people’s **congresses of cities divided into districts, and county-level people’s **congresses can directly organize accident investigation teams to conduct investigations, or they can authorize or delegate relevant departments to organize such teams for the purpose of investigating accidents. In this case, the accident resulted in 3 deaths, 4 serious injuries, and 29 minor injuries, with direct economic losses exceeding 50 million yuan; it constitutes a major accident, and therefore the People’s ** of Province N is responsible for investigating this incident. 3. D. A Gas Supply Company shall establish a safety production management organization and assign full-time safety production managers. Article 12 of the Implementing Measures for Safety Production Licenses of Hazardous Chemicals Production Enterprises stipulates that enterprises shall establish safety production management organizations in accordance with the law and assign full-time safety production management personnel. The full-time safety management personnel assigned must be capable of meeting the requirements of safe production. Therefore, Company A, which is engaged in gas supply, should establish a safety production management organization and assign full-time personnel for safety production management. 4. The direct economic losses resulting from ABE accidents include: (1) expenses incurred as a result of injuries or deaths. This includes medical expenses (including nursing costs), funeral and compensation expenses, subsidies and relief funds, as well as lost wages. (2) Costs for post-incident handling. This includes the administrative costs associated with handling the accident, on-site rescue costs, site cleanup costs, accident fines, and compensation costs. (3) Value of property loss. Including the value of losses on fixed assets and the value of losses on current assets. Options C and D fall within the scope of statistics for indirect economic losses. 5. Article 11 of the ABCD “Regulations on Safety Training for Production and Business Entities” (revised in 2013) stipulates that production and business entities in the coal mining, non-coal mining, hazardous chemicals, fireworks and firecrackers industries must provide mandatory safety training for newly hired temporary workers, contract workers, shift workers, and workers under agreement. Only after ensuring that they possess the knowledge and skills necessary for safe operation at their posts, as well as for self-rescue, mutual rescue, and emergency response, can they be assigned to carry out work. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 41 of the Work Safety Law (revised in 2014), production and business operations entities shall educate and urge their employees to strictly abide by the entity’s work safety regulations and safety operating procedures ； It is also necessary to inform the workers truthfully about the hazardous factors present in the workplace and at their jobs, as well as the preventive measures and emergency response procedures in case of accidents. In this case, the operators of the gas tank at Company A should be familiar with the relevant characteristics of gas tanks and gas combustion, as well as the precautions to be taken during operation, in order to ensure effective safety measures. 6. Article 91 of the ACD “Work Safety Law” (revised in 2014) stipulates that if the person in charge of a production or business operation is subject to criminal punishment or dismissal in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, he or she shall not serve as the person in charge of any production or business operation for five years starting from the date when the punishment is completed or the dismissal takes effect ； Those responsible for major or extremely serious production safety accidents shall never be allowed to serve as the principal responsible persons of production and operation entities in the same industry for life. In this question, since the accident in question is a major accident, options A, C, and D are correct. 7. Article 24 of the ABDE Law on Work Safety (revised in 2014) stipulates that units engaged in the production and storage of hazardous materials, as well as mining and metal smelting enterprises, shall have registered safety engineers responsible for work safety management. Other production and business units are encouraged to hire registered safety engineers to handle work safety management tasks. Registered safety engineers are managed according to their specialties, and the specific measures shall be formulated by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the State Council and the Ministry in charge of work safety supervision and management of the State Council, in conjunction with relevant departments of the State Council. The biggest problem with Company A in this case is that it only appointed part-time safety management personnel; moreover, it is not just the fact that such part-time safety manager, Person B, does not hold a certification as a registered safety engineer. Therefore, option C avoids addressing the core issue and does not meet the requirements.
