Tianjin Baodi gas deflagration caused 23 injuries. What was the cause of the explosion?

The official has announced that this is a gas leak caused by illegal construction. This is the notice of Baodi District Emergency Management Bureau. Now follow-up work is underway, including personnel rescue, cause investigation and follow-up disposal.

23 injured people, already quite serious, 3 of them were severely burned; 20 people were slightly injured. It is necessary to investigate clearly and give an account to the injured.

Some media reported the cause of this incident, which was directly caused by the construction unit Tianjin Exhibition Building, because the company violated the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Urban Road Excavation in Tianjin, which was illegal construction. At present, 9 responsible persons have been controlled.

At this time, the construction unit must bear the responsibility. Article 52 of the Regulations on Urban Gas Management: In violation of the provisions of these regulations, there are important gas facilities such as underground gas pipelines in the construction scope of construction projects, and the construction unit fails to work out a protection plan for gas facilities with the construction unit and pipeline gas operators, or the construction unit and the construction unit fail to take corresponding safety protection measures, the gas management department shall order it to make corrections and impose a fine of 6,543,800 yuan or more and 6,543,800 yuan or less; If losses are caused, it shall be liable for compensation according to law; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

Although the accident didn't happen to me or my relatives and friends, it was still very painful to see these news. Every accident is a wake-up call for safe production. We should really pay attention to the construction of public places and gas.

First, citizens can participate. Of course, we don't ask everyone to go to the construction site to help. After all, we all have our own jobs, but we can be called volunteers. If we see the barbaric construction that may endanger the gas pipeline, we can report it to the management department and call the gas company.

Secondly, the construction unit should also pay more attention, and must contact the gas company to determine the detailed location of the gas pipeline. It is necessary to formulate a gas pipeline protection scheme in strict accordance with the relevant requirements (generally agreed by the construction unit, the construction unit and the gas company), and then report it for approval and filing, which is the correct construction process. During the formal construction, contact the gas company and ask it to send relevant personnel to the site for assistance.

Thirdly, for the on-site personnel, we must nip in the bud and prohibit all behaviors that may cause sparks, such as taking photos and smoking, because these behaviors may generate electrostatic sparks and must be avoided.

Fourth, if there is a gas leak, you should arrive at the safe area at the first time, then call the gas company and call the police.

Fifth, if you see a gas leak, don't watch it. Please leave the scene quickly and drive around as much as possible to ensure the fastest rescue.

Recently, gas accidents often occur for many reasons, such as the aging of gas pipelines and the failure of construction units to carry out construction according to regulations. Tianjin Baodi gas explosion once again sounded the alarm for the construction unit: if the operation is not standardized and safety is not paid attention to, it will eventually harm others and yourself.

Of course, there is no absolute security in this world, and only strict precautions can minimize risks. Everyone must pay attention to gas safety, safety first and alarm bells ringing.
