The Emergency Management Department of Anhui Province recently reported two industrial and trade accidents:
On July 19, 2023, a dust explosion accident occurred at Tongling Xinjia Powder New Material Technology Co., Ltd. in Tongling City, resulting in one death and one injury.
On July 30th, Anhui Fushide Fluoroplastic Technology Co., Ltd. in Langxi County, Xuancheng City experienced a combustible gas combustion accident, resulting in 2 deaths and 3 injuries.
The Anhui Provincial Emergency Management Department stated that the main responsible officials and responsible officials of the Anhui Provincial Government have issued instructions to clarify the responsibility for accidents, and to seriously investigate and rectify issues such as inadequate safety management and illegal operations of enterprises. It is necessary to strengthen the investigation and safety supervision of hidden dangers in special operation areas such as hot work, high-altitude, and confined spaces, and resolutely curb the trend of frequent accidents. To deeply learn from the lessons of accidents, draw lessons from other situations and resolutely curb the occurrence of various accidents in the industry and trade.
The two accidents involved issues such as combustible dust, use of hazardous chemicals, and safety management of hot work operations.
Among them, the employees involved in fluoroside company did not receive three-level safety education and training before taking up their posts, were not clear about the safety risks of their positions, did not master the safety operating procedures, and had weak awareness of safety risks. Without confirming the safety of the working conditions, they violated the regulations and simultaneously carried out tank pasting and gluing operations in adjacent positions in the workshop, and used open flames for baking and heating, resulting in the occurrence of combustible gas mixture combustion accidents.
The main person in charge of Xinjia Company has extremely weak safety awareness. Before and after signing the entrusted processing contract with Hunan Changsha Tianzan Metal Materials Co., Ltd., they did not understand the composition of the alloy powder, did not identify potential safety risks, and did not provide safety instructions to the operators. The operators blindly mixed and packaged the materials without knowing the composition of the alloy powder. When the material was stuck and blocked at the mixing barrel mouth, they mistakenly used threaded steel for tamping, resulting in an explosion accident.
