Based on the assessment, an open flame has broken out in one of the company’s workshops, with thick black smoke rising. The area affected by the fire is quite large, and thick black smoke can be seen around the perimeter of the factory. The dye industry belongs to the high-risk chemical sector, and fire accidents occur frequently in dye manufacturing companies; it is a time of many challenges. Here, we hope that all manufacturers will always keep safety in production at heart. Furthermore, we are concerned that this area is home to many companies involved in the production of dyes and their intermediates; it is uncertain whether stricter management measures will be introduced under the backdrop of efforts to improve safety and environmental protection, and what consequences such measures might have.
Runtu, it seems we also have their company here. Textile dyeing enterprises are still prone to fire accidents; I hope such incidents will not happen again.
The park has attracted 180 projects with investment amounts exceeding 100 million yuan, of which 17 have an investment of over 1 billion yuan. In 2010, the output value reached 13.2 billion yuan, while the total fiscal revenue was 1.2 billion yuan. This year, the expected output value is set to reach 22 billion yuan, while the total fiscal revenue is expected to reach 2 billion yuan. At present, the park features new energy projects carried out by large state-owned enterprises such as Guodian and Huadian, base-type projects represented by listed companies like Luntu, Supor, and Haosen, as well as basic-type projects represented by companies such as CP Paper and Huarong Stone. This results in production capacities for shipbuilding with a capacity of millions of dead tons, fine chemical dye production at 500,000 tons per year, refined salt production at 500,000 tons per year, and new energy production at 100,000 kilowatts. Since the beginning of this year, major projects have been introduced, including CP Paper Industry with an investment of 20 billion yuan, Huarong Stone Processing with an investment of 3.6 billion yuan, and a stainless steel production facility with an investment of 3 billion yuan capable of producing 600,000 tons per year. In addition, high-tech projects such as those related to new battery materials and off-grid wind power and seawater desalination have also been brought in, resulting in a qualitative leap in the industrial structure.
As for what **strengthened management measures by security agencies will achieve, they only increase the number of inspections; they don’t take practical considerations into account, they don’t improve quality, and they only make people dislike security personnel.
Safety first; safety is the greatest wealth
