To strengthen fire prevention efforts and enhance the safety management of mobile pressure vessel filling operations, the Market Supervision Administration of Luoding City, Guangdong Province, carried out a special safety inspection on local natural gas filling stations on December 1. The inspection focused on ensuring strict, thorough, and meticulous regulatory measures to safeguard public safety and urban operations.
Key areas of examination included specialized equipment such as cryogenic liquid storage tanks, pressure pipelines, safety valves, and pressure gauges, as well as verifying the calibration status of measuring instruments to prevent faulty operations. Authorities also enforced the "three checks and one verification" system, ensuring that mobile pressure vessels undergoing filling had valid inspection certificates, intact exteriors, proper ownership records, and electronic tags. Filling was prohibited for expired, scrapped, or illegally modified vessels.
Additionally, inspectors reviewed operators' qualifications for handling specialized equipment and assessed their procedural proficiency and emergency response capabilities through on-site questioning. Companies were urged to enhance employee safety training. Records of filling operations, equipment logs, and emergency drill documentation were meticulously checked for accuracy and completeness. Businesses were instructed to strictly implement daily controls, weekly inspections, and monthly scheduling mechanisms while establishing a traceability system for mobile pressure vessels to ensure full accountability throughout the filling process.
Moving forward, the Luoding Market Supervision Administration will conduct regular safety inspections and follow-up actions in the gas filling sector, reinforcing long-term regulatory frameworks to uphold safety standards in natural gas usage.
