Welding caused fire accident

Welding caused fire accident
Accident: At a construction site, a welder did not effectively isolate and protect the flammable materials under the work area when welding the steel structure. During the welding process, the splashing sparks ignited the foam board below, and the fire spread rapidly, causing the entire construction site to catch fire.

Cause of the accident:
1. The welder did not conduct a thorough safety inspection of the work area and did not isolate the flammable materials.
2. Lack of effective fire prevention measures and emergency plans.
Lessons: Before welding, a thorough safety inspection of the work area must be conducted, flammable materials must be isolated, and sufficient fire-fighting equipment must be prepared. At the same time, a fire emergency plan should be formulated to ensure that a quick and effective response can be made when a fire occurs.

These welding safety accident cases remind us that welding operations are high-risk jobs, and we must strictly abide by safety operating procedures, strengthen safety protection measures, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
