Shantou City Authorities Conduct Safety Inspections During Dragon Boat Festival
In an effort to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, various departments, districts, and counties in Shantou City have conducted safety production inspections during the Dragon Boat Festival. These inspections aim to eliminate hidden risks and prevent safety accidents, taking into account the lessons learned from the “6.21” gas explosion in Yinchuan, Ningxia.
Jinpyeong District has taken special measures to rectify production safety. Following the instructions of national, provincial, and municipal leaders, the district held an emergency meeting on security work to deploy security precautions in key industries, particularly in the gas sector. The District Emergency Management Bureau and local streets conducted safety production inspections at various locations, including the Sinopec Shanyu Gas Station, Haibawang (Shantou) Food Co., Ltd. Kingman Branch, and the Small Park Opening Cultural Area. During the inspections, it was discovered that a company’s kitchen gas pipe did not meet safety requirements, and no alarm or automatic gas shut-off valve was installed. The company was immediately instructed to rectify these issues.
Longhu District has also been actively carrying out security work inspections. Inspectors visited crowded restaurants, large-scale complexes, and bazaars, with a particular focus on the gas field. The F16 vast shopping mall and restaurants on Huangshan Road were inspected to ensure compliance with food safety and gas safety management regulations. During the inspections, it was found that some restaurants stored excessive gas bottles and lacked gas leakage alarms and automatic shut-off valves. The operators were reminded to install these safety devices. Over 1,100 catering establishments have been inspected in Longhu District, resulting in the identification of more than 90 potential safety hazards.
The Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has also played a role in strengthening safety supervision. The bureau organized inspections of food sales and catering services related to gas cylinder filling units in Jinping District, Zhenbang Food Street, and small parks. The inspections focused on the implementation of safety guidance for gas cylinder users and the quality and safety traceability of gas cylinders. It was emphasized that each gas cylinder filling unit must strictly implement code scanning and locking gun filling to ensure accurate traceability information. Additionally, inspections were conducted on food business units to ensure compliance with licensing requirements, information publicity, pricing transparency, and proper food handling and hygiene practices.
These safety inspections and measures aim to enhance safety awareness and prevent accidents related to gas usage. Authorities in Shantou City are committed to implementing the instructions of national and local leaders to ensure the safety of the public.
