Preventing risks of fire and explosion at depots
With many seaports, Hai Phong City has a large number of container depots. Loading, unloading, storing and transporting goods often take place here. This leads to the potential risk of fire and explosion. To ensure the safety for people and property, ensuring fire safety at container depots is very necessary.
The container depot of Blue Star Shipping Co.,ltd in Dong Hai Ward covers an area of about 10,000m². At peak times, this area concentrates about 50 trailers. Clearly recognizing the potential risk of fire and explosion, the company has been proactive in ensuring fire safety, including regularly organizing training for the grassroots fire prevention force. Operating since 2008, the container depot of Vinastar Development Investment Jsc., covers an area of over 11,000m2. Here, the regulations and orders on fire prevention and fighting have been focused on by the company, along with investment in fire protection equipment. There are many causes of fire and explosion incidents at container depots and the damage caused by fire and explosion is very huge if the head of the facility does not pay attention to fire safety. To avoid the risk of fire and explosion at container depots, in addition to regular inspection, maintenance, repair and replacement of equipment, the facility owner needs to develop a fire prevention and fighting plan to ensure safety in production and business activities.
