Paint Safety Accidents Cannot Be Ignored

For paints and paints that may cause fire or explosion hazards, paint companies can take safety precautions in the following areas: First, paint factories (chemical plants are no exception) in the production process of "running, running, drip, leakage" It is the greatest hidden danger of safety accidents, especially the “running, running, dripping, and leaking” of production and use of flammable and explosive hazardous chemicals. The hazards are even greater. Coating companies should regularly check equipment and products at regular intervals. Elimination of related risks; Second, some paint factories (including chemical plants) because the site is too small, the production tasks have exceeded the original design scale, there are mixed production of raw materials and finished products. Paints and other materials are usually toxic, irritating or flammable. Paint companies should be classified and stored in ventilated areas. Third, behind the process equipment. The production process of some paint companies is still lagging behind. There are basically no new flammable gas concentration alarms, automatic fire alarms, and automatic fire extinguishing facilities for carbon dioxide in the workshop. Coating companies should purchase necessary safety equipment while focusing on production. , reduce production risk. 4. Some paint factories lacked sufficient knowledge about a series of safety laws and regulations such as “Code for the Fire Protection of Building Design” and “Design Specification for Electric Installations for Explosive and Fire Hazardous Locations” during the design of the plant, resulting in design, construction and installation. In the event of non-compliance incidents in the process, paint companies should strengthen publicity of safety regulations and raise their awareness of safety. 5. Some paint companies lack a strict safety training system. Most of the migrant workers and new employees hired are simple oral education, and they can take jobs. These employees do not understand the performance and toxicity of hazardous chemicals, and they do not understand how to prevent and handle emergencies. This practice violates the spirit of Article 21 of Chapter 2 of the "Safety Production Law of the People's Republic of China" that "...there is no safety education and training for qualified employees and no employment is allowed". Therefore, paint companies must conduct pre-job training for newly recruited or relatively low-quality employees to improve their ability to handle emergencies.

For coatings, paint-induced pollution or poisoning incidents, paint companies should focus on improvement from the following aspects: First, improve the relevant technical level, improve production equipment, and develop low VOC products; second, gradually replace toxic and hazardous solvents with low-toxic solvents. Eradicate the use of dichloroethane, which is extremely harmful to the human body. Third, train painters with relevant knowledge and skills to ensure that painters wear respiratory protective masks, protective clothing, goggles, safety shoes, and protective gloves during operations. .

Paint accidents can not be ignored, and paint companies are incumbent. China's paint companies should learn about foreign companies' advanced experience in safety management, laws, regulations and safety technologies, carefully examine loopholes in safety work, renovate old processes, adopt new processes, eliminate all hidden dangers, and focus safety production. In the past, it was put into action to allow the security alarm to ring.
