[Labor Accident Case] During a blast furnace test at a steel mill, CO gas leaked inside the furnace, causing multiple cases of poisoning.
We will introduce a case where multiple individuals were poisoned due to a leak of CO gas inside a blast furnace during the testing of measurement devices at a steel mill.
In the electrical room, the main power was turned on, the main circuit switch at the site was turned off, and when the "forward" button on the measuring device was pressed, the measuring device retreated due to the gas pressure in the furnace. After pressing the "stop button," the measuring device temporarily stopped, but then when the purge button for the antenna of the measuring device into the furnace was pressed, the measuring device retreated further. Gas from the furnace leaked through the tire seal section of the ball valve that was stopping the gas leak, and many people who were near the control panel and watching the test from a distance were exposed to the furnace gas and suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning. [Proposal] ■ Workers should wear portable gas monitors while working. ■ This allows for early detection of furnace gas leaks and can alert workers and those nearby to the danger. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
