A truck driver in Texas lit a cigarette, causing liquefied gas to explode. How to avoid this kind of thing?

Dangerous goods such as liquefied gas should be kept away from open flames, and signs prohibiting smoking and igniting open flames should be placed in warehouses where liquefied gas is placed. No, there was a liquefied gas explosion in Texas. So, how can we avoid this kind of accident from happening again? I think we can start from the following three aspects:

First, drivers are prohibited from smoking when transporting liquefied gas.

The accident happened because the driver stopped smoking on the way to transport liquefied gas, which led to the explosion of liquefied gas, and the driver suffered different degrees of physical injury due to the explosion of liquefied gas. At present, he is still receiving treatment in the hospital. As a person who transports liquefied gas, the driver is estimated to be quite serious. Therefore, drivers must not smoke.

Second, carefully check the valve of liquefied gas before departure to prevent leakage.

Once liquefied gas leaks, the consequences are still very serious. The accident was caused by the driver smoking, and the liquefied gas in the car behind also leaked, which caused a chemical reaction in the air, thus causing an explosion. Fortunately, the accident did not cause casualties of surrounding buildings and personnel, only the driver was injured. Therefore, it is very important to carefully check whether the valve of liquefied gas is closed when loading liquefied gas into the car.

Third, be careful in the process of liquefied gas transportation, and try not to leave more roads.

Liquefied gas is a kind of dangerous goods, so you should be especially careful during transportation. When transporting, you can choose road transportation with few people. If there is an accident, it will not cause more casualties. After all, the power of liquefied gas explosion is still great. Therefore, the transportation road of liquefied gas should also be carefully considered. Try not to cross the main road. If there is an accident, it is easy to cause congestion.

Generally speaking, when transporting liquefied gas, if these three aspects are achieved, the possibility of danger is almost small.
