Second, after the accident
On June 3, 2004 165438+ 10/3, Huayang Company's 3-mercaptopropionic acid workshop continued production. At 20: 00 on June 3, workshop workers took over and continued production according to the process regulations. At 3: 20am on June 5438+04, the director of the production department responsible for equipment maintenance of the company visited the 3-mercaptopropionic acid workshop. About two minutes later, when he was patrolling the platform equipment on the second floor of the workshop, he smelled an abnormal smell in the workshop air and noticed the leakage of toxic gas, and immediately ordered the on-site workers to evacuate. There were three workers in the workshop at that time, one on the first floor and two on the second floor platform. The workers on the first floor fell to the ground as soon as they got out of the workshop when they heard the instructions from the director of the production department. When the production director ran out of the workshop door to help her, she lost consciousness. On the second floor, two workers ran outside the workshop and called for help. They also lost consciousness. The cry for help alarmed the attendant in the workshop next door, and the attendant immediately called 120 for help. While waiting for the 120 ambulance, some employees of the company entered the scene to rescue the poisoned personnel without taking any protective measures, and many people were poisoned during the rescue. The accident * * * caused three deaths and five poisoning, and the direct economic loss was about 2 million yuan.
Third, the cause of the accident
The cause of the accident was that during the production process in 3-mercaptopropionic acid, a large amount of hydrogen sulfide leaked due to the increase of system pressure, which led to the diffusion of hydrogen sulfide toxic gas in the workshop and caused personnel poisoning. The main cause of poisoning accident is that the on-site operators violate the process operation rules.
Four, the accident lessons and preventive measures
1, hazardous chemicals enterprises should conscientiously implement the main responsibility of safety production, strengthen the basic management of safety, improve and strictly implement the responsibility system for safety production and safety production rules and regulations. It is necessary to strengthen the safety monitoring of major hazard sources, establish and implement a hidden danger investigation and management system, eliminate hidden dangers and prevent accidents.
2. Strengthen the safety education of the grass-roots managers and employees of hazardous chemicals enterprises. Enhance employees' safety awareness, promote employees to firmly establish the concept of safe production, and implement it in every action of daily work. Improve the safety production and emergency rescue ability of employees, and take effective emergency rescue measures under abnormal circumstances to avoid the expansion of accident losses. In this accident, some employees of the company blindly entered the scene for rescue without taking any protective measures, resulting in an increase in casualties.
3, dangerous chemicals enterprises should strengthen the management of emergency rescue plan. Effective emergency rescue plans should be made for major dangers or accidents such as leakage, explosion, fire and poisoning that may occur in the production process of hazardous chemicals enterprises. The emergency rescue plan must be prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements of this guide, and the specific contents such as emergency organization, reporting procedures, emergency contact, emergency disposal plan and emergency material reserve must be defined to ensure the smooth development of isolation, evacuation, emergency rescue and ambulance in an emergency. It is necessary to strengthen the training and drills of emergency rescue plans, and regularly carry out actual combat drills to ensure that all emergency disposal work is carried out in an orderly manner under emergency conditions. According to the actual production, the plan should be supplemented and improved regularly to ensure the effectiveness of the plan. (World Network for Risk Management-Home of Safety Officials)
