Why are factories prone to fires and how to How to prevent?

Why are factories prone to fires?

1. Illegal electric welding: As one of the common types of welding operations, electric welding is a hot operation. Molten metal sparks will fly everywhere at the work site. Careless operation can easily cause fire accidents. Illegal welding operations such as welding without a license, failure to obtain approval for hot work, and failure to remove surrounding combustible materials during welding are all prohibited.
2. The laying of electrical lines and the use of electrical equipment are not standardized, on-site construction fire safety management is not in place, and workers violate construction regulations.
3. Illegal use of flammable and combustible materials, irregular stacking of combustible materials, illegal construction occupying fire prevention distances, incomplete fire protection facilities, and insufficient fire fighting water sources.
4. Staff dormitories were set up illegally in the factory and warehouse, evacuation passages and safety exits were not smooth, the fire resistance of the building materials was low, and the fire spread quickly.
5. The buildings are diverse and difficult to extinguish. Once a fire occurs in a factory, the flames are fierce and the fire-fighting water accumulates, which can easily cause the building to collapse. In the workshop where materials are stored, it is more difficult to extinguish the fire because of the large storage space, small fire protection distance and dense storage of materials.
6. The fire was discovered late, the person in charge of fire safety and fire safety responsibilities were not clearly defined, and on-duty inspections were not strengthened to eliminate fire hazards in a timely manner.

How to prevent?

1. Factories and enterprises must strictly implement fire safety responsibilities, clearly define fire safety responsible persons and fire safety responsibilities, strengthen on-duty inspections, promptly eliminate fire hazards, and post fire safety warning signs in conspicuous locations within the factory.
2. Fire-fighting facilities, equipment and fire safety signs should be regularly maintained to ensure they are in good condition and effective. Damage, misappropriation, burying, encircling or blocking fire-fighting facilities and equipment is strictly prohibited.
3. It is strictly prohibited to occupy, block or close emergency exits, evacuation passages and fire truck passages; it is strictly prohibited to set up obstacles that hinder the passage of fire trucks and fire fighting; it is strictly prohibited to block safe evacuation signs.
4. Factories and enterprises must put an end to illegal operations, and strictly prohibit the illegal use of fire, oil, electricity, and gas. It is strictly prohibited to use open flames in places where there is a risk of fire or explosion. It is strictly prohibited to use open flames for operations or heating at construction sites.
5. Electrical lines should meet the load requirements of electrical equipment. It is strictly prohibited to privately pull and connect temporary wires. The laying of electrical lines should be protected by metal pipes or flame-retardant PVC pipes, be grounded, and have leakage protection switches installed.
6. Combustible debris within the factory area must be cleaned up in a timely manner, flammable items must be classified and placed according to standards, and it is strictly prohibited to have places within the factory area that combine accommodation for employees with production, operation and storage.
7. Employees must receive fire safety training before taking up their posts. Employees in special jobs or key positions with fire hazards must receive professional fire safety training and hold a certificate before taking up their posts.
8. Organize the formulation of fire-fighting and emergency evacuation plans that suit the actual situation of the unit, and organize employees to conduct escape, self-rescue and initial fire fighting drills at least once every six months.
