The safe storage of flammable and explosive products has always been a question worth thinking about, because they are flammable and explosive products, a little bit of carelessness may cause major safety issues for people's lives and property.

The safe storage of flammable and explosive products has always been a question worth thinking about, because they are flammable and explosive products, a little bit of carelessness may cause major safety issues for the lives and property of the people. Gas stations are everywhere, and formal gas stations provide people with convenience in life, but some illegal and unqualified gas stations pose a major threat to people's personal and property safety.

At around 3 pm on February 17, 2020, the Maquan Station Second Station gas station located on Provincial Highway 206, Xuangang Town, Yuanping City did not sell a large amount of diesel as required. There was an unlicensed oil tanker parked at the gas station, and the oil gun was directly injected into the tank of the oil tanker for refueling. As we all know, gasoline and diesel is a flammable and explosive product, and no gas station staff is seen performing relevant process operations and supervision here during the refueling of unlicensed oil tankers at Maquan Station 2.

Gas station refers to a supplementary station that serves cars and other motor vehicles and sells gasoline and engine oil. It is generally added with fuel oil, lubricating oil, etc. Since the petroleum products sold by gas stations are flammable, volatile, leaky, and easy to accumulate static charges, gas stations take "safety" as the first criterion. Smoking is strictly prohibited in gas stations, and it is strictly prohibited to engage in operations that may cause sparks. It is strictly prohibited to fill gasoline into the carburetor of the car and the and the barrel. All stations must turn off the engine first when refueling in the station. All dangerous goods are strictly prohibited from entering the station. Managers must not be careless at all, otherwise they will cause a disaster.

Refined oil sales enterprises and gas stations should carefully check and register the units, names, valid IDs, purchase quantity and purpose of the purchaser or handler to ensure that the certificates are consistent, the information registration is accurate, and the refueling process should be supervised throughout the process. During the refueling process, a special refueling engine service must be specified. The camera position must choose the location with the most comprehensive coverage of the monitoring equipment and the clearest image effect in the station area. The monitoring video must be able to distinguish vehicle characteristics, license plate numbers and facial features of personnel.

If the gas station in Maquan 2 only holds a refined oil retail license, it should not generate oil on the tanker. If an ordinary oil gun is used to splash and drop oil on the tanker, it is a violation of operating procedures. If the gas station does not sell oil according to regulations, it is very easy to cause safety accidents. At this time, it is the peak period of epidemic prevention and control. All townships in Yuanping City actively responded to the government's call and set up epidemic inspection and prevention checkpoints in each township. Most units and enterprises have devoted themselves to the fight against the epidemic. The illegal operations of gas stations will bring great hidden dangers to the safety of the people. If an accident occurs, it will increase the burden on the fire department and have an adverse impact on the prevention and control of the epidemic.

my country has strict requirements for units and individuals that transport and operate flammable and explosive products. They must be approved by the safety supervision, industrial and commercial departments, and obtain business licenses, refined oil business certificates, security inspection production and operation certificates, hazardous chemical transportation licenses, etc. The sale of oil products to gas stations at Maquan 2 to unlicensed oil tankers not only disrupts the normal market circulation order, but also poses serious safety hazards.

Why did the gas station of Maquan No. 2 perform relevant process operations and supervision during the refueling process? Does the regulations for gas stations to sell large amounts of diesel to unlicensed oil tankers comply with the relevant laws and regulations on the sale of refined oil? Does the oil tanker have safety and fire protection qualifications, and are the relevant certificates and licenses complete? Who will be responsible for the safety hazards caused to the people during the epidemic? This website will continue to pay attention to this incident and further follow up and report on it in depth.
