Check whether the welding site is safe

Safety inspection of welding sites is very important. Here is an introduction to an accident:

The fire-starting site did not meet the requirements, which led to a fire.

1. Accident process
Gu, a welder at a shipyard, applied to the on-board firefighters for a fire-starting permit, but the firefighters approved the fire-starting permit before they arrived at the scene. After Gu cut the wire with gas, the oil on the bottom of the ship was splashed with sparks, which ignited a raging fire. The on-site personnel failed to put out the fire with water and fire extinguishers, resulting in 5 deaths, 1 serious injury and 3 minor injuries.

2. Analysis of the Feng Yaoyuan Group

(1) The firefighters failed to do their duty and approved the application blindly.

(2) There was an oil line under the fire-starting site.

3. Main preventive measures

(1) After receiving the fire-starting report, the firefighters should go to the scene to inspect and confirm safety before issuing a fire-starting permit.
