Life comes first, and safety is the foundation of development. In order to thoroughly implement the major decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council regarding workplace safety, further strengthen awareness of safety red lines, focus on problem-oriented management, improve the workplace safety responsibility system, implement emergency management mechanisms, enhance the ability to handle on-site safety emergencies, and improve employees’ safety awareness, emergency response, and self-rescue capabilities, the company organized an emergency rescue drill for the 4 and 5 t/h electric furnaces on the afternoon of July 5 under the leadership of the General Manager.
This drill simulated a sudden power outage of the 110KVA line in the foundry workshop. The on-site shift leader of the intermediate-frequency electric furnace reported the outage to the workshop management, and the factory director immediately reported the incident to the head of the emergency command leadership group, which then activated the emergency response plan for electric furnace power failure.
Subsequently, the head of the emergency command group notified relevant personnel to arrive at the scene. Following the emergency handling procedures for electric furnace power outages, furnace operators started the generator to ensure emergency cooling water supply. The furnace shift leader coordinated the handling of the molten iron inside the furnace according to emergency procedures. After all molten iron was discharged from the furnace, cooling water was used to cool the furnace body.
After the drill, the General Manager reviewed the entire exercise and stated that the event was well organized with clear task allocation. The on-site simulation closely reflected real emergency conditions, the company’s emergency response plan proved highly practical, and the emergency rescue personnel responded quickly with appropriate rescue measures, achieving the expected results.
The General Manager also expressed hope that the foundry workshop would further improve its accident emergency rescue plans, strengthen risk control measures, enhance forecasting, early warning, and accident emergency response capabilities, fully implement accident prevention responsibilities, and continuously promote a long-term safety management mechanism.
