Sharing a case (I’ve hidden the specific company name): An accident resulting in death occurred at around 11:30 at a certain company. What happened: There were three people working at that workstation. At 8 o’clock, when work started, all three were working at the station on the first floor. Around 10 o’clock, the person involved in the accident went to the workstation on the second floor (while the other two remained on the first floor). Around 11:30, when the two workers went up to the second floor, they found the victim lying at the foot of the wall, wearing a long-tube respirator, and already dead. Regarding the accident investigation, normal production was taking place in that area at the time, with no abnormalities whatsoever; there was no need to use emergency equipment. Moreover, when the two employees carried out the rescue efforts, no abnormalities were observed at the scene. The cause of death was that the other end of the long-tube respirator was supposed to be connected to a pipe for delivering air, but in reality it was connected to a nitrogen pipe. The air supply pipes and nitrogen pipes at the accident site were not located together; there was a distance between them, and both were clearly marked. Something that shouldn’t have been used was actually used – yet another typical example related to the human side of businesses? Does your company pay attention to the mental state of its employees on a regular basis?
Nitrogen, huh. I’m really puzzled; suffocating oneself – something that’s impossible – actually happened in this way
The possible reasons for such accidents are as follows: 1. The workers may truly be unaware of the hazards associated with N2 (due to insufficient training)； 2. In fact, we can do better in terms of hardware, ensuring that it’s impossible for employees to make mistakes even if they try (by using foolproof methods) ； It is possible to use different connection methods for N2 and air; thus, it is not possible to connect the air pipeline connector to the N2 connector either ； For locations that frequently need to be connected to air ； Try not to use an N2 connector if possible ；
It’s hard to figure out why nitrogen was applied
This employee has been with the company for over three years; they surely understand all of this. It’s been three years already
Agree with the view from the 3rd floor. This has little to do with years of experience or proficiency
thanks for sharing
It was a tragic accident that could have been completely avoided! ! !
I agree with what was said on the 3rd floor: staff training is one aspect, but mistakes can still occur. It’s best to improve the equipment itself, as that provides the most thorough solution and reduces potential risks to the lowest level.
