On the eve of May 1 ST, the Emergency Management Department sent seven working groups to seven provinces with heavy chemical safety supervision tasks, such as Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Shandong and Sichuan, to conduct unannounced visits to thoroughly investigate the outstanding problems and weak links in the current chemical industry safety production.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Emergency Management Department, in order to profoundly learn from the recent accidents, this unannounced visit focused on spot-checking chemical parks and chemical enterprises, especially high-risk enterprises involving nitration and vinyl chloride, mainly to check the implementation of the main responsibility of enterprise safety production, the presence of the main person in charge and managers of enterprises, the implementation of safety management system measures and problems, and the risk management and control of major hazard sources. The unannounced investigation team conducted a "sparrow-like" inspection of the enterprise by surprise unannounced visits. At the same time, give full play to the role of experts, go deep into the scene together, adhere to "zero tolerance" for major potential risks and outstanding problems found, and put forward handling opinions on the spot according to law.
Shandong Jinan, Zibo and Weifang.
One person is the commander-in-chief of multiple safety plans.
Alarm red light employees don’t know how to remove it.
From April 25 to 30, the second group of the national chemical industry unannounced visit group went to the relevant chemical parks and enterprises in Jinan, Zibo and Weifang, Shandong Province to carry out unannounced visits, focusing on the high-risk chemical enterprises involved in nitration and vinyl chloride. Through the "four no’s and two straights" and night inspections and night visits, the unannounced investigation team spot-checked 5 chemical parks and 10 enterprises, and found 71 hidden dangers and problems, including 17 major hidden dangers.
At 23: 00 on April 26th, the unannounced investigation team rushed to Shanghe Chemical Park in Shanghe County, Jinan City, and arrived at the park management committee at 0: 11 on the 27th. The staff of the unannounced visit team found that the emergency duty was a mere formality, the duty leader of the management Committee was not on duty, and only four of the 10 people on duty in the enterprise arrived after contact, and the arrival time was seriously delayed. It took nearly an hour for the leaders on duty of the enterprises that were spot-checked to arrive after a 5-minute drive, and the emergency response was not timely.
There are 16 chemical enterprises in Zhangdian Chemical Industry Park in Zibo. On April 27th, an unannounced investigation team made a surprise inspection of the industrial park, and found that the suggestions put forward in the safety evaluation report, such as building a parking lot for hazardous chemicals transport vehicles, improving the access control system, effectively supervising hazardous chemicals transport vehicles, and formulating special emergency plans and emergency evacuation plans for toxic gas leakage accidents, were not put in place. The staff of the unannounced visit team also found that the chief commander of several special plans for safety production in the industrial park wrote "Wang Shunan", but Wang Shunan was not the manager of the industrial park management Committee.
At 2 a.m. on April 28th, an unannounced investigation team raided Shandong Kewell New Materials Co., Ltd. at night and found that the red light of DCS interlocking alarm in the central control room of the company had been flashing. After the staff of the unannounced interview team asked, several staff members on duty were scrambling to deal with it for a while, and they did not lift the alarm. It was not until the next morning that the unannounced investigation team received the processing results of the enterprise.
On the morning of April 28th, an unannounced investigation team came to Changyi Xiaying Chemical Park in Weifang City. The reporter was impressed by the lack of manpower and weak professional ability. No one in charge of safety management in the park has a professional background, and no one has obtained the qualification of registered safety engineer.
The park lacks professional management talents, and enterprises are also facing the "talent shortage" of chemical engineering specialty. "Young people who are engaged in chemical industry in enterprises start to quit their jobs after one or two years, and the loss of professional talents in enterprises is a bottleneck in the development of enterprises." A person in charge of an enterprise complained to the unannounced investigation team.
Talent has become a restrictive factor for the development of enterprises, and the lack of talent directly leads to the lag of enterprise safety management, and the potential safety hazards can not be completely managed.
Yan ‘an and Yulin, Shaanxi Province
6 alarms a day are not taken seriously.
More than half of the fire extinguishers have failed.
On April 26th, the sixth group of the national chemical industry unannounced visit group invited experts and journalists from the hazardous chemicals industry to start from Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province and go to Yan ‘an and Yulin, Shaanxi Province to randomly check hazardous chemicals enterprises.
After several days of in-depth inspection, the unannounced investigation team found that whether it is a large state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, there are widespread problems such as inadequate management of hot work tickets, untimely monitoring and analysis of harmful combustible gases in confined space operations, and low frequency of daily inspection of fire extinguishers in production areas.
On the afternoon of April 28th, an unannounced investigation team came to Shaanxi Beiyuan Chemical Group Co., Ltd.. Although the company’s safety management system, equipment management and personnel management are perfect, experts still found that the gas detector had six alarms on the same day in the caustic soda workshop. The personnel of the unannounced investigation team saw that the causes of the six alarms were all recorded as chlorine gas leakage, but no one made an in-depth analysis of the causes of the alarm to explore whether it was a gas leakage at the scene or a problem with the process design. Zou Hui of Sinopec Guangzhou Petrochemical Company, who participated in the unannounced visit, said: "At present, chemical enterprises should bring the safety management of process into the scope of safety management indicators and strive to achieve zero alarm."
On the morning of April 28th, an unannounced investigation team came to Yulin Yunhua Green Energy Co., Ltd., located in Yuyang District, Yulin City. In the production equipment area of the company, the personnel of the unannounced visit team found cigarette butts on the ground. A staff member replied: "It should be the insulation cotton on site. The production equipment area belongs to the key fire prevention area, and no one is allowed to smoke." The personnel of the unannounced investigation team continued to walk forward and found another cigarette butt on the ground. Faced with this fact, the staff who were eloquent just now were speechless. What is even more shocking is that the daily checklist of fire extinguishers in the company’s production plant area shows that the last inspection date was November 2018, and more than half of the fire extinguishers on the site have failed. Experts also found that a pressure gauge had been installed in off the charts. After careful inspection, it was found that most of the testing instruments in this area were in a damaged state.

During the inspection, the fifth group of the national chemical industry unannounced visit group found that the value displayed by DCS of liquid ammonia storage tank in this enterprise was quite different from the value displayed by the field primary meter. The value displayed by DCS of liquid ammonia storage tank was 4.5 meters, and the value displayed by the primary meter was 6.7 meters. The accident chlorine gas treatment system is linked with the on-site toxic gas alarm device, and the alarm interlocking value of the chlorine gas leakage alarm device is unreasonable; There are two liquid ammonia tanks at the site, the liquid level of which is 50% higher than the normal value, which does not meet the requirements of standby in case of accident.
Jiangsu Lanfeng Biochemical Co., Ltd. has been established for more than 30 years, and has been transformed from a state-owned enterprise into a joint-stock enterprise. It is a listed company.
