Follow-up to the "August 26" accident

The first one:

Complete replay of "August 26th" event (2003- 1 1-26)

On August 26th, 26 women from Chinese mainland were lured by the "Human Snake" group to cross Taiwan Province province privately, and were discovered by the "Sea Patrol Team" of Taiwan Province province. In order to escape the pursuit and destroy the evidence, members of the "human snake" group in Taiwan Province Province brutally pushed all 26 mainland women who crossed Taiwan Province privately into the sea off Miaoli, resulting in a major tragedy in which six people drowned and two were injured.

On August 28th, "Taiwan Province Women's Relief Foundation" held a press conference. At the press conference, Man Fai Chan, deputy executive director, and Shen Meiqi, director of the Foundation, called on the authorities of Taiwan Province Province to set up a special investigation team to trace the criminal groups behind the scenes and prevent similar tragedies from happening again.

On August 29th, ARATS sent a letter to SEF, Taiwan Province Province, expressing serious concern about the above-mentioned incidents, and demanding that Taiwan Province Province properly arrange the rescued personnel, promptly investigate and punish criminals, severely punish murderers and severely crack down on the criminal activities of snakeheads in Taiwan Province Province. In the letter, ARATS asked SEF to coordinate the list of victims and information reported by relevant parties in Taiwan Province Province as soon as possible, so as to inform family members of the aftermath as soon as possible. ARATS stated in its letters and telegrams that if mainland personnel are involved in crimes, relevant parties will arrest them as soon as possible and severely punish them.

On August 30th, Fujian public security frontier troops captured 18 people involved in the case of "August 26th" smuggling into Taiwan Province province, including 4 people from Taiwan Province province. Bing Wang, deputy chief of staff of Fujian Public Security Frontier Corps, stressed that the main organizer of private ferry activities is Taiwan Province. If the police on both sides of the strait can jointly crack down, the problem of private crossing can be effectively curbed.

On September 16, some female family members from the mainland who drowned in this case arrived in Taiwan Province to deal with the aftermath.

On September 18, the body of the female passenger was cremated on the island.

On September 26th, Miaoli District Inspection Office announced that it requested the court to sentence He Ke to death.

The second one:

At 6 am on August 26th, an explosion occurred in the organic workshop of Guangxi Vinylon Group Co., Ltd. located in the suburb of Yizhou, Guangxi.

According to the Express issued by the State Administration of Work Safety today (28th), as of 27th 16: 30, an explosion occurred in the organic workshop of Vinylon Factory in Hechi City, Guangxi Province, killing 20 people. At present, the accident has been brought under control, and all the 18 villages, factory workers and their families * * * 1.65 and 4.38+0.5 million people evacuated from the factory have returned to normal life order. Professional search and rescue personnel such as fire officers and soldiers, armed police officers and soldiers who carried out accident rescue and search and rescue tasks also evacuated from the scene one after another. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

The "8.26" accident is the most serious chemical accident in China in recent 10 years.

"The' 8.26' explosion accident is the most serious chemical accident in China in the past 10 years." Sun Huashan, deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety, who arrived at the scene of the accident yesterday, said.

It is understood that Guangwei Group Co., Ltd. was established in 197 1 invested by the former Ministry of Textile. At present, Guangwei Chemical Co., Ltd. and other two holding subsidiaries. At 6: 45 on August 26th, 2008, an explosion occurred in Guangwei Chemical Co., Ltd., and the fire caused by the explosion led to the explosion of the storage tanks containing flammable and explosive substances such as methanol, acetylene and vinyl acetate in the workshop. The accident also caused the emergency evacuation of 18 village and 1 1500 people within 3km of Guangwei Group's living area.

According to Xinhua News Agency, after the explosion, the relevant leaders of the local government rushed to the scene of the accident at the first time, and the Yizhou Municipal Government promptly organized personnel to evacuate the factory and surrounding villages to safety; A group army chemical defense battalion in Guangxi dispatched chemical defense professionals 100 to participate in the rescue; In order to ensure the safety of drinking water, the local government organized cadres to go to the area near Longjiang River downstream of the explosion point15km, and informed the people not to drink riverside water for the time being.

In order to prevent the spread of toxic and harmful gases such as ammonia and formaldehyde, the emergency headquarters specially dispatched 14 tons of activated carbon for emergency rescue work, organized environmental protection technicians to monitor the water quality of nearby rivers, and organized farmers in the lower reaches of Longjiang River to transfer. According to the preliminary investigation, the workshop of Guangwei Group is too close to the residential area, which has certain security risks. Appraised by the State Administration of Work Safety and relevant experts, the accident was initially identified as a production safety accident.

Sun Huashan said, at present, we should go all out to do a good job in accident rescue and aftermath, continue to go all out to treat the wounded, search and rescue the missing, further verify the number of casualties, resettle the evacuated people and do a good job in social stability. Strengthen the monitoring of water bodies and environment, improve the safety measures for site cleaning, and prevent secondary accidents. Special emphasis should be placed on the investigation and handling of accidents in accordance with the principle of "four passes". The accident investigation team must conscientiously perform their duties, hire well-known experts, find out the cause of the accident, put forward preventive measures, distinguish the responsibility for the accident, strictly investigate the responsibility, urge enterprises to learn lessons, and promote the safe production of the chemical industry in the whole region.

90% of the chemical industry is small and medium-sized enterprises, and the phenomenon of "three violations" is serious

At present, there are many chemical enterprises in China, such as Guangwei Chemical Co., Ltd., which was established in 1960s and 1970s. According to the relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Work Safety, on the whole, the overall technical level and foundation of China's chemical industry are not high, which brings pressure and challenges to the safe production of China's chemical industry. In particular, the production scale is small, and more than 90% are small and medium-sized enterprises. Secondly, the technology is backward, the equipment is simple and the level of automatic control is low.

It is understood that most of the medium-sized chemical enterprises in China are old enterprises built in the 1960s and 1980s. In some areas, the safety access conditions of chemical projects are low, the layout of chemical enterprises is unreasonable, the production area is far from the market, a large number of dangerous chemicals are transported long distances, and transportation accidents occur frequently. According to statistics, by the end of 2007 10, there were 297 16 enterprises producing hazardous chemicals in China, an increase of 6,575 in just half a year. Many chemical products have overcapacity and poor economic benefits, resulting in insufficient safety investment.

As early as the beginning of this year, Sun Huashan said that the phenomenon of "three violations" in China chemical and hazardous chemicals production enterprises was very serious. The "three violations" such as illegal command, illegal operation and violation of labor discipline are still important reasons for accidents in chemical and dangerous chemicals production. Judging from several accidents this year, the problems of non-compliance, illegal operation and inadequate safety management are still very prominent. Although some enterprises have formulated safety production rules and regulations, they have not strictly implemented them. On June 65438+1 October1day this year, a poisoning accident occurred in Shanxi Taiyuan Huayuan Chemical Co., Ltd., resulting in three deaths. The main reason is that there is no rule to follow, the contents of toxic and harmful gases and oxygen are not detected and analyzed, and effective protective measures are not taken, so that operators illegally enter dangerous workplaces. After encountering danger, the operator blindly rescues, resulting in accidents and increased casualties.

There are loopholes in safety management of chemical production enterprises.

"At present, some chemical and hazardous chemicals production enterprises have not implemented the responsibility system for safe production, the safety management mechanism is not perfect, the safety management system is not perfect, and the safety management level is low." Sun Huashan said.

It is understood that there have been more than ten production safety accidents in chemical enterprises this year, many of which are caused by management loopholes. At the beginning of this year, a fire and explosion accident occurred in Zhejiang Wuyi Boyang Industrial Co., Ltd., killing four people. After investigation, the company changed the production process without safety condition demonstration, and there are still serious problems such as unreasonable plant layout and explosion-proof of electrical equipment in dangerous places. On June/0/2, purification workshop of Kunming Anning Qitian Fertilizer Co., Ltd. leaked hydrogen sulfide gas, resulting in 6 poisoning deaths, 2 serious injuries and/0/3 minor injuries. The direct cause of the accident is that there are defects in the process design and there are no corresponding operating procedures; The top of phosphoric acid tank is not equipped with hydrogen sulfide tail gas recovery system. After investigation, the production line was installed and modified without approval, causing an accident. These problems expose the low level of safety management in some chemical and hazardous chemicals production enterprises, which has become an important reason for frequent accidents at present.

In addition, the safety education of small and medium-sized chemical enterprises is not targeted and the quality of safety training is not high. At present, China's chemical enterprises, especially small and medium-sized chemical enterprises, have low staff quality, poor safety awareness and skills, imperfect emergency system, no emergency plan, serious illegal operation, and improper self-help or mutual rescue in distress. This year's "1. 1" hydrogen sulfide poisoning accident in Taiyuan Huayuan Chemical Co., Ltd., Shanxi Province and "1.9" suffocation accident in Chongqing Tesla Chemical Raw Materials Co., Ltd. all have problems such as insufficient understanding of workplace hazards, illegal command and illegal operation. Blind rescue when people are in distress leads to further casualties in the accident.

Guangwei's "8.26" accident will once again sound the alarm for China chemical enterprises!
