Around 2:30 PM, during the operation in the cast iron dust removal workshop, a chain plate from the cast iron machine was removed from the gap in the chain belt. The workers were cleaning residual iron on the lower slide plate of the chain belt. Due to the hot weather, one worker, Ryu, took off his helmet while working. While Liu was moving the chain plate to the tail platform, the chain suddenly rebounded and struck Ren Fusheng, who was cleaning up the residual iron. At that moment, blood started flowing, and other workers quickly rushed to help. They immediately took Ren Fusheng to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with minor injuries, including three stitches on his head.
1. Ren Fusheng lacked proper safety awareness during the work process. He failed to wear the required protective gear, particularly the safety helmet, which directly contributed to the accident.
2. Liu Hongjun, who was handling the chain plate, dropped it onto the tail platform without ensuring the area was safe. The sudden rebound caused the injury. His failure to conduct a proper safety check before the action was a major factor in the incident.
3. The lack of strict supervision and inspection regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) within the workshop also played an indirect role in the accident. Employees were not consistently monitored or reminded about PPE usage.
Accident Lessons
1. It is essential to reinforce safety education for all employees. Workers must be trained to understand the importance of self-protection and strictly follow the rules regarding the use of labor protection equipment.
2. Strengthening on-site safety supervision is crucial. A thorough safety confirmation system should be implemented before each operation to ensure that all risks are identified and mitigated.
3. Regular training sessions should be organized to familiarize employees with safe operating procedures, the safety production confirmation system, and the joint guarantee system. These measures will help improve overall safety awareness and prevent future incidents.
4. Management should also review and update the existing safety protocols to ensure they remain effective and relevant. Encouraging open communication between workers and supervisors can lead to better identification of potential hazards and faster response times.
