What are the hazards of chemical plants? How to protect?

Chemicals in chemical plants are frequently subjected to various safety accidents during production, storage, transportation, sales, and use. They have caused poisoning, suffocation, burns, burns, and frostbite. They are effective in preventing chemical plant hazards and protecting them in a timely manner. To provide rescue for patients is of great significance for saving lives and reducing injuries.

For a variety of emergency rescue teams that deal with chemical disasters at chemical plants, it is necessary to have a certain amount of basic knowledge of first-aid measures (such as wearing gas masks, chemical protective clothing, etc.) and harm prevention for chemical injury.

Chemical plant hazards

Poisoning: poisons enter the body, damage the body's physiological functions or organizational structure of certain tissues and organs, causing a series of symptoms and signs, known as poisoning. The on-site emergency treatment of chemical poisoning is mainly to eliminate the poison and to reduce the further damage to the poisoned by the poison.

Suffocation: Suffocation is due to trauma, drowning, smoking, burning, burning, earth burial, lack of oxygen in the chamber, and inhalation of foreign matter. It causes a sudden glottis closure and the air in the trachea and lungs cannot overflow, causing the pressure in the lung to rise sharply. Oxygen cannot enter the body, causing major organs and systemic hypoxia syndrome.

Chemical Burns: Chemicals Injury More chemical burns, chemical burns and chemical burns are common. The degree of burn depends on the type, concentration, dose, contact area and time of the chemical substance, and whether the treatment is timely and effective.

Protective measures introduced

1. Increase safety awareness

In the production, storage, sale, and use, it will cause explosion hazards, health hazards and environmental hazards. For example, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used in homes is combustive and explosive. Improper use can cause injuries and burns. Cold refrigerant refrigerant ammonia is explosive and poisonous. If a leak occurs, it can cause explosions, poisoning of personnel, and wilting of plants.

For chemical employees and various emergency rescue forces for handling hazardous chemical accidents, they must know each other well, master the safety protection knowledge of chemicals, know where the hidden dangers originate, what are the hazards, and identify the problems. The crux of the problem is to do a good job safely.

2. Strengthen the common sense of science and technology

People who are not engaged in dangerous chemicals will also be harmed for no reason. The main cause of the damage is the disaster caused by unexpected accidents. Before the disaster, we do not know the method of self-rescue, we cannot escape properly and promptly, delay the precious time of saving lives, and ultimately lose our lives or cause irreversible damage. Therefore, popularizing first aid knowledge is of great significance for saving lives.

Although China has a large population, poor quality of personnel, and popular science, it is obliged for units engaged in the production, storage, transportation, and sales of chemicals to conduct popular science propaganda. It must tell the surrounding people what kind of security risks the industry is engaged in. What kind of harm can there be and what measures can be taken to escape properly. Let the people understand the nature and severity of the hazard and minimize the damage when the accident occurs.

3. Strengthen personal protection

The hazardous environment on the scene of chemical disasters is extremely harsh, and the dangers are constantly changing. The personnel on the scene are at risk of accidental injury at any time. In order to ensure safety, all disposal forces must put an end to numbness and luck; a certain range of warnings must be delimited, and irrelevant personnel must not be allowed to enter. Persons handling accidents must also be registered in order to prevent accidents. Personal safety protection must be done throughout the accident.

Good personal protection is a guarantee of safety and can protect people from harm. For example, fire commanders can SCBA respirator official from the smoke, heat, gas, irritant gas, or anoxia injury; closed chemical protective clothing prevents corrosive chemicals directly to the eyes, skin and respiratory hazards. Therefore, the disposal of chemical disaster accidents, raising awareness of protection, and strengthening personal protection can effectively protect personnel safety and reduce injuries.

4. Establish a management system

The safety of handling chemical disaster accidents is a technical and tactical battle. Analyzing the casualties of various rescue force personnel in the past, the accuracy of the commander’s tactics and countermeasures is not high and the timeliness is not strong, which is another cause of casualties. The disposal of hazardous chemical disasters requires the commander to have certain experience in handling accidents, and to make timely and comprehensive assessments of the hazards on the spot;

It is better to grasp the overall ability and adaptability, to correctly use technical and tactical countermeasures, and to take effective measures in terms of poison control and poison control in a timely manner to prevent the deterioration of the situation and avoid the occurrence of unfortunate accidents;

The correct use of retreat tactics and active retreat are important tactics for dealing with chemical disasters. Retreat is not a defeat, but temporary avoidance of the frontier, preservation and transfer of strength, and better handling of accidents are important means to avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries for rescue workers.
