Recently, Dahua Pharmaceutical, together with Xinhai Market Supervision Institute and Xinhai Community Health Service Center, carried out a practical emergency drill for sudden boiler accidents on its factory premises. Centered on the theme of Safeguarding Special Equipment Safety, Escorting the New Journey of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the drill laid a solid foundation for further advancing the prevention and control of special equipment safety risks.

Taking the in-service industrial boiler of Dahua Pharmaceutical as the real-scene carrier, the drill simulated an emergency scenario where aging and failure of a pipeline flange caused high-temperature steam leakage, resulting in a patrol worker suffering scalds and fainting. Upon discovering the hazard, on-site staff took emergency shelter immediately and reported to the company’s safety management department. The enterprise quickly activated its internal emergency response plan and requested reinforcement from the town emergency command group. After receiving the report, the town-level command group launched the special emergency plan for special equipment accidents and coordinated rescue and medical teams to the site.

Rescuers set up warning tapes and evacuated personnel on site to prevent secondary injuries. Medical staff provided first aid including cooling and anti-shock treatment for the scalded casualty, who was transferred to the community hospital for follow-up treatment after vital signs stabilized. After the casualty was evacuated, maintenance workers wearing protective gear shut down the boiler, released pressure and plugged the leak to eliminate the leakage risk completely. Control was lifted following on-site inspection.

After the drill, the emergency commander delivered an on-site review. He recognized the complete response process and efficient multi-party linkage mechanism of this drill. Meanwhile, he put forward requirements for optimization and improvement targeting weak links such as daily equipment inspection and emergency response connection, urging the enterprise to fully implement the main responsibility for work safety.

This practical drill comprehensively tested the operability and feasibility of the emergency response plan for special equipment accidents. It effectively improved the three-party linkage response mechanism covering enterprise self-rescue, government supervision and medical rescue, and further enhanced employees’ capacity for emergency handling and mutual aid. Going forward, Dahua Pharmaceutical will take this drill as an opportunity to organize regular practical emergency drills for special equipment, move the safety risk control threshold forward, implement pre-control measures, and continuously consolidate the foundation of the enterprise’s work safety.
