Winter 2016 Safety and Weather

How do you think of safe winter? Keep warm and cold. It is important to keep warm and cold, but there are also many "visible" and "invisible" killers lurking around us.

Winter is a season of high fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. With deep chill, we must pay more attention to and pay more attention to the effects of weather factors on security.

I. Five major risks of winter production safety

1. There are many construction accidents in outdoor operations, such as construction and maintenance operations. One of the reasons is that low temperature, freezing rain, etc. affect the body's function and reaction ability.

2 , roads, water traffic accidents. The New Year's Day and the Spring Festival brought a high concentration of people and logistics. In addition, the weather such as freezing rain and heavy fog had adverse effects on road conditions and visibility.

3 , mine accidents. Temperature, air pressure, etc. have a certain influence on the emission of underground gas and other harmful gases, and rain, snow, and freezing have a relatively adverse effect on the environment of open-pit mining wells.

4 , Fire and carbon monoxide poisoning accidents occur frequently. When using coal and other heating, inadvertent use of fire and poor ventilation, easy to catch fire and carbon monoxide poisoning.

5. The safety hazards of personnel-intensive places are large. Such as shopping malls, entertainment venues, and other activities during the holidays, crowded stampede accidents, elevator accidents and fire.

Second, high-impact weather threatening winter security

Third, why is it that winter is a fire-prone season?

1 , reduced precipitation

2. Increased winds

3 , heating needs

Precipitation in the winter has been significantly reduced, and dried matter, dry grass, defoliants, and other combustible materials have increased. In addition, the increase in windy weather is likely to cause fires, and high winds are also detrimental to firefighting.

Before the occurrence of forest fires, the main meteorological impact factors were effective precipitation in the early days, precipitation in the next few days, temperature, humidity, and wind. After a forest fire, the main meteorological factors are wind and humidity.

There is less precipitation in winter and the air is relatively low in humidity, which is prone to static electricity. Static electricity is extremely dangerous to places where flammable and explosive materials are produced and stored, and can easily cause fires.

The cold weather in winter, long-term use of various "heating artifact" is prone to short circuit and other circumstances, which led to fire. Do not be careless when using sun heaters, roasting stoves, etc. Do not use them for long periods of time.

Fourth, the invisible "killer" in winter

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a common safety accident in winter. While keeping warm in winter, the invisible “killer” lurks around. In order to keep warm, the doors and windows are closed completely without ventilation, and the flue gas of the coal stove gas is blocked or exhausted, which is prone to carbon monoxide poisoning.

How to prevent?

1. The use of coal stoves and carbon stoves must be installed with flue ducts leading to the outside;

2. When using a gas water heater, be sure to use a non-in-line water heater and install it in a well-ventilated place;

3 , conditional families can install gas alarm.

V. Reduce risks and improve safety

1. Strategies for managing this problem: Eliminate unsafe factors and reduce the likelihood of accidents. For example, to carry out risk management and inspection, the purpose is to prevent accidents.

2 , through various measures to enhance the ability to prevent disasters, such as freezing rain and snow and other weather can not be avoided, but we can strengthen security protection to prevent the initiation of other accidents.

3. Improve emergency response capabilities. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you will be afraid that in the event of an accident, improving emergency capacity will help minimize the damage.
