Since July 17, Henan Province has experienced extremely heavy rains, with large torrential rains in the central, western and northwestern regions, and extreme torrential rains in some areas. From 8:00 to 17:00 on the 20th, heavy rains continued in some areas. Among them, heavy rains occurred in the central and northwestern regions. Heavy rains occurred in parts of Zhengzhou, Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Luoyang, Xuchang, Pingdingshan and other places. Extremely heavy rain on the ground. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "National Emergency Plan for Flood Control and Drought Relief", the General Administration of National Defense decided to initiate a third-level flood control emergency response at 20:00 on July 20.

As of July 20, the Henan Fire and Rescue Brigade had handled 408 flood-fighting rescue operations. The Zhengzhou Fire Rescue Detachment dispatched 548 fire trucks, 25 boats, 2710 commanders and fighters, rescued 849 trapped people, and evacuated the masses. More than 1,500 people, the fire rescue team is ready to cross-regional reinforcements.

Meteorological experts reminded that heavy rainfall in Henan continued, heavy accumulated rainfall, serious waterlogging in urban and rural areas, and high risk of mountain torrent geological disasters. Many companies are located in the surrounding areas of the city and are more vulnerable to flash floods. You must be vigilant!

Frequent torrential rains in Dengfeng, Henan, triggered a surge in river water levels. At about 4 am on the 20th, the nearby Yinghe River exceeded the warning level. The wall of the Zhideng Power Group Aluminum Alloy Co., Ltd. factory area collapsed. Flood water rushed into the company's factory area and caused an explosion. The nearby residential houses all vibrated strongly due to the explosion. Fragmented, the house was in a mess. The main leaders of the Dengfeng Municipal Party Committee and Government rushed to the scene as soon as possible, organized on-site disposal, and evacuated the people around the factory.

At present, there are no casualties or loss of connection. The cause of the explosion was preliminarily determined as: the alloy tank in the plant was flooded by floods, and a violent explosion occurred when it came into contact with the high-temperature solution in the tank. In this regard, the city is carrying out a major safety inspection and major renovation during the flood season.

Seeing the above reports and case series, people can't help but feel nervous. In this regard, the editor has compiled some plastic chemical and hazardous chemical companies for everyone, and the key points of safety risk prevention and control during the flood season, for your reference.

1. It is necessary to raise awareness of safety precautions, learn lessons from accidents, and comprehensively identify safety risks in terms of waterproofing, water avoidance, lightning protection, and high temperature protection.

2. Comparing with the "List of Chemicals Reacting in Water and Emergency Disposal Measures", you should be proficient in the hazardous characteristics and emergency measures of hazardous chemicals reacting in water.

3. It is necessary to strictly implement the hazardous chemical safety management system and various safety operating procedures, strengthen the safety management of storage warehouses and production facilities for hazardous chemicals that react with water, and increase the frequency of inspections in areas prone to water accumulation.

Fourth, always pay attention to high temperature and flood prevention warning information, strictly implement the leadership-driven and 24-hour duty system, and do a good job of emergency duty.

5. It is necessary to closely follow the high temperature characteristics of the rainy season during the flood season, organize targeted emergency drills, strengthen emergency training for employees, and complete equipment and materials to ensure rapid and efficient disposal in accordance with emergency plans and procedures in the first time.

6. The plastic chemical and hazardous chemical companies that contain hazardous chemicals that react to water should be listed as key targets for high temperature safety prevention in the rainy season during the flood season, and the supervision and inspection of production safety during the flood season should be combined with the reminders of the company contacts to urge companies to implement prevention measures. Lightning and electricity prevention, flood prevention, heatstroke prevention and cooling, explosion-proof and over-temperature and over-pressure management, to ensure that all work measures are implemented.

Editor's Message:

Recently, heavy rains have been frequent in the northern region, so everyone must raise their awareness of flood prevention. Plastic chemical companies should pay special attention to the storage of hazardous waste products and materials, but these are not the most important, life safety is the first. When a disaster strikes, everyone must not lose too much because of small mistakes, and safe evacuation is the right choice!
