The chemical industry, as an important component of modern industry, has always been concerned about safety issues in its production process. On July 29th, according to UNN, an explosion and subsequent fire occurred at the factory of German chemical giant BASF, resulting in 18 injuries, including 7 firefighters. This incident once again sounded the alarm for the entire chemical industry. In this context, as a member of the chemical industry, Desheng deeply understands the importance of safety production and has strengthened the defense line of safety production through a series of strict measures.

 

Analysis and Insights into Possible Causes of Accidents

 

1. Equipment failure: In chemical production, prolonged operation of equipment may result in wear and tear, aging, and other issues. If not maintained and updated in a timely manner, it can easily lead to malfunctions, resulting in serious accidents such as explosions and fires.

 

2. Operational errors: Employees' non-standard operations during the production process, such as violating operating procedures, negligence, etc., can become the trigger for accidents.

 

3. Security management vulnerabilities: Inadequate security management systems, inadequate implementation, and failure to promptly identify and rectify potential security risks are also important reasons for accidents.

 

From the accident at BASF, Desheng has gained profound enlightenment: there should be no slack or lucky mentality in safety production, and it is necessary to remain vigilant at all times and continuously improve the safety management system.

 

Desheng's safety production concept

 

1. Putting people first

 

Desheng always puts the safety and health of its employees first, believing that only by ensuring their safety can the company achieve sustainable development

 

2. Prevention first

 

Emphasize the elimination of accident hazards in their early stages through prior risk assessment, hidden danger investigation, and preventive measures, rather than remedying them after the accident occurs.

 

3. Comprehensive governance

 

Safety production is not the responsibility of a single department or link, but requires the participation of all staff, full process management, and full system prevention and control, forming a closely connected safety management network.

 

Desheng's safety production measures

 

1. Advanced equipment and technology

 

(1) Regular equipment updates

 

Invest a large amount of funds, regularly update and upgrade production equipment to ensure stable and safe performance of the equipment. Adopting advanced automation control systems to reduce the risk of human operational errors.

 

(2) Real time monitoring and warning

 

Advanced monitoring equipment and systems have been installed to monitor key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate in real-time during the production process. Once an abnormal situation occurs, the system will immediately issue a warning to take timely measures.

 

2. Strict personnel training

 

(1) Onboarding safety training

 

When new employees join, they need to receive systematic safety training, including knowledge of safety regulations, operating procedures, emergency response, etc. Only employees who pass the assessment can operate on the job.

 

(2) Regular retraining and drills

 

Regularly organize safety knowledge training and emergency drills for employees to enhance their safety awareness and emergency response capabilities.

 

3. A sound safety management system

 

(1) Clear responsibility

 

We have established a comprehensive safety production responsibility system, clarifying the responsibilities and obligations of management personnel and employees at all levels in safety production, and ensuring that there is a dedicated person responsible for every link.

 

(2) Hazard investigation and rectification

 

We have established a strict hazard investigation system, regularly inspect production sites, establish a ledger for identified safety hazards, clarify the responsible persons, measures, and deadlines for rectification, and ensure timely and effective rectification of hazards.

 

(3) Safety assessment and rewards and punishments

 

Incorporate safety production into the employee performance evaluation system, reward employees who perform well in safety work, and take serious measures against employees who violate safety regulations.

 

4. Emergency response mechanism

 

(1) Emergency plan formulation

 

Detailed emergency plans have been developed, including response measures for various accidents such as fires, explosions, and leaks, and are regularly revised and improved.

 

(2) Emergency material reserve

 

Adequate emergency rescue supplies, such as fire extinguishers, fire belts, protective clothing, etc., have been reserved and regularly inspected and maintained to ensure their normal use in emergency situations.

 

(3) Construction of emergency rescue teams

 

A professional emergency rescue team has been established, and the members have undergone strict training and training, possessing strong emergency rescue capabilities.

 

In the face of frequent safety accidents in the chemical industry, Desheng always maintains a high level of vigilance and strives to create a safe and stable working environment for employees by continuously strengthening safety production measures, laying a solid foundation for the development of the enterprise. At the same time, we also hope that the entire chemical industry can learn from these accidents and work together to promote the safe development of the industry.
