To work in a chemical plant, first of all, you have to put up with all kinds of odors, sour, smelly, nose-piercing, nauseating, and eye-smoking. In different workshop positions, there will be different concentrations. For some toxic and harmful gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, carbon monoxide, toluene and so on, extra attention is needed. Negligence in certain places can lead to loss of life. There are countless examples of this.
My shop is a wastewater treatment plant, which mainly deals with pollutants through evaporation and condensation. Because of the backwardness of the treatment process, coupled with the relative quality of the water is relatively heterogeneous, resulting in a very large number of things in the workshop, equipment problems occur frequently. Pipes are corroded, pump problems, salt accumulation clogging centrifuges and so on. Some problems workshop will let the factory construction team to deal with, but we such operators will not be idle, need to clean up the scene, to help deal with a variety of problems. The most important thing is that the salary is only three thousand five hundred and six.
Fortunately, my workshop has no high-temperature and high-pressure hazardous environment, no toxic and harmful flammable and explosive gases, and no corrosive chemicals. The safety factor is relatively high, only the compressor may have an explosion, which occurred once in five years.
Although away from these toxic gases, but other workshops will inevitably float over the ammonia, methyl ester and other irritating gases, so people are very difficult. There is also dust in the air and noise from the equipment. The poor working environment is evident.
Once some uninformed people said, unmarried can not enter the chemical plant work, will lead to lifelong infertility. In fact, this is the wrong point of view, of course, the situation will exist, but only in some very special positions, contact with some special chemical raw materials. The factory will also inform the employees, with high wages to recruit workers into such positions, usually forty or fifty employees will choose to go.
In the chemical plant, some positions are completely in the life to earn money, our factory has a workshop, named "DCNQ", this product is relatively strong toxicity of chemicals, most people are allergic to this thing. The factory with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 recruiting, it is difficult to recruit people, and finally because of environmental issues, was completely abandoned.
Chemical plant work has a benefit, the work is relatively easy, everything is normal if you are in the boil time. Operators like me, a shift of twelve hours, the workload is very small. But the exception is my wastewater treatment plant, very tired. The production plant is relatively easy, but easy to come into contact with harmful substances.
If I were given a chance, I would not work in a chemical plant again. But in order to pay the mortgage, I have to go. Our city, when the investment, into a large number of chemical plants and smelters. Smelters work in a much harsher environment, and the workload is relatively large. As the bottom of the staff, there are not many options.
So ah, for the bottom of the staff, said more are tears. I'd like to start my own business sometimes, and I'd like to do some business. But because of the mortgage, completely pressured me, because I can not afford to lose.
Look at the above everyone wrote a lot, I'll add a few words!
To be clear, each of our food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from the chemical plant, such as eating plastic chopsticks and bowls; wearing spandex, nylon and other materials such as clothing; home furniture, decoration materials; automobile, many non-metallic parts, all of which come from the chemical industry. The most primitive materials for chemical production are petroleum, coal and natural gas. I once told a girl that the elastic underwear you wear is made of petroleum, and she was surprised, but it's the truth!
So the chemical industry is y involved in our lives, and we can't live without it!
Many chemical plants are in production all year round, except for maintenance, market and other reasons, will never stop production. Therefore, the vast majority of front-line workers in chemical plants work in three or four shifts (8-hour or 12-hour shift work system), and the national statutory holidays do not mean anything to them. Including the Spring Festival, which we care most about reunion, is no exception.
In the chemical plant, some of the ordinary workers are responsible for automation control (technical term "internal manipulation"), they are responsible for computer monitoring, remote adjustment of production process parameters. A work it will be sitting on the bench 8-12 hours, staring at two or three computer screens; chemical plant workers also include field operators (technical term "external manipulation"), they are mainly responsible for the operation of the chemical plant site equipment, inspection, as well as the adjustment of the process equipment, including the maintenance of on-site sanitation, etc.
This is the first time that we have seen a chemical plant in the United States, and we have been able to see it in the United States.
Of course, chemical plant workers also include maintenance, laboratory and other personnel.
In addition, in addition to ordinary operators, chemical plants have a lot of management personnel, and production directly related to the so-called professional and technical personnel, they are generally technicians, engineers. They are responsible for the management of equipment, process and safety in production. In most chemical companies, they work under great pressure, the kind of exhaustion (in order to explain to the layman: they are not "official"). Wages are generally slightly higher than operators.
Some people may want to ask, chemical plant major (large) safety accidents can be completely eliminated? Theoretically, it can, but in practice it is impossible, at least not in the next 50 years! All that can be said is to minimize safety problems as much as possible and to the greatest extent possible.
Why?
First, inevitability .
Some of the safety management is loose, long-term violations, over time, inevitable. You, for example, the provisions of the high work must send seat belts, if the long-term violation of the rule, 99 times fortunately, the 100th time will inevitably be a big problem (fall to death)!
Second, chance .
Some of the strict safety management of large enterprises, the organization of production operations are in strict accordance with laws and regulations, operating procedures to implement. However, you will always be negligent point some small problems, thus causing big accidents. (About this, in the eyes of the pursuit of perfection, is incomprehensible. But those who have experienced it know that not all accidents can be avoided.)
Another thing to mention is that people who work in toxic and hazardous chemical companies are more or less physically damaged.
That's a bit much to say, feel free to add!
Hello, I am glad to answer your question! My feelings were so hopeless, tired, dangerous, and poor working conditions that I just couldn't help but leave! I got out in 2012 after two months at one of our local chemical plants!
Chemical plants may be just heard of, and there are a lot of chemical plant news out, like explosions, poisoning, but do not know what is the production of, I went into the chemical plant is a fertilizer manufacturer in our local and even the province is a bit famous. Fertilizer we should all know, is the farmhouse nutrients, when we open the fertilizer bag will smell a strange smell, and even pungent taste, this is because there is ammonium bicarbonate in the fertilizer, ammonia stink, can imagine what we feel in the production workshop!
First, working in a chemical plant is easy to poison, resulting in physiological disorders. People who work in chemical plants will wear gas masks, but gas masks are not everything, when you stay in the factory for a long time, there will be a clear feeling that the poisonous gas into the human body, damage to certain tissues and organs of the human body's physiological function or tissue structure, serious organ failure.
Second, it is easy to asphyxiate, resulting in organ hypoxia. Working in a chemical plant, you will often breathe toxic foreign matter, will cause the sound door suddenly closed, oxygen can not enter the body, will cause us to lack of oxygen, do a long time will naturally feel uncomfortable.
Third, working in a chemical plant will also encounter burns, because some materials need to be processed through high temperature, so it is also very dangerous.
Fourth, because chemical plants are open workshops, so the environment is not very good, everywhere is discharged waste, waste water, exhaust gas, dust is particularly large, I can not accept the most is the exhaust gas, sometimes will feel the lack of oxygen will be suffocated.
Fifth, in the chemical plant to work in the clothes are particularly dirty, every time I go home to wash the clothes are and other clothes are washed separately, because the clothes are really too dirty.
Well, my personal feelings on how much. If there is something wrong, please forgive me, welcome to leave a comment, thank you!
In the blink of an eye, I've been in the chemical plant for 6 years. Different positions experience different. I'll talk about me. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price.
Comfort and all kinds of problems Why do you say comfort? This is the warm water boiled frog, because due to the benefits are still good, the salary is guaranteed, can not afford to give up those wages, can only endure. Where not good,
A security problem, two health problems, three future problems, four problems with the social disconnect.
1. safety. Let's talk about an accident, that time I happen to be 100 meters away from the bunker place, if 15 meters, I happen to pass by or go inside, on the huh, fortunately no casualties in that accident.
2. Health issues, the factory all kinds of chemicals, intermediate products, by-products, finished products, are harmful to health. In particular, the generation of certain gases, in the open parking phase will be very obvious. Why don't you go home from work? It is 50 kilometers away from the city, and the shift workers can't go home every day, and there are many others who take the factory as their home. In addition, 3-shift work is not good for the body and mind, so I won't talk about it.
3. Problems of the future of this industry, the seniority, pay attention to the relationship. The factory was put into operation in 2008, 10 years before I entered the factory, and there is no very hard relationship, so there is no future. You can refer to the following, my factory 06 years of undergraduate without exception are in charge of the director, 07 years of undergraduate without exception are organized or core technicians, 08 years of undergraduate without exception are management, 09 years of undergraduate without exception are workers. The wages are 10,000 to 16,000, 8,000 to more than 10,000, 7,000 to 9,000, 4,000 to 6,000. Of course, the workers are not eligible to have any title, have a title of at least 9,000.
4. detached from the social factory is a typical industrial age mode of small society, all your social interactions in the factory, you have to give the leadership a smile, to be careful with coworkers, because you do not see the head, you can not see the head, but you can not see the head, you can not see the head. You have to be careful with your coworkers, because you don't see each other's heads. Because the center of gravity is placed in this small society, the real social contact will be very little, especially in the inclusive small unfamiliar city. However, it is a vicious circle that one's opportunities come only after exposure to society.
Summary So, I suggest that the subject in the full research before engaging in the chemical industry, do not be hungry for food, and ask yourself whether you are ready to get out of the information age, back to the industrial age, whether you are ready to use the health for money, whether you are ready to endure the treatment of the injustice of the career, whether you are ready to be with the separation of family and friends, whether you are ready to no matter how hard you try, as long as you do not have any hope. The first thing you need to do is to get out of the way and get out of the way.
The most frightening thing about people is that they can see themselves 10 years later. As an ordinary person, I do not have much ability, in the chemical plant engaged in several positions, including more contact with the outside world social positions, and finally back to the salary of more 3 shifts, when a small shift manager, and so save enough money to not have to gnaw on the old man, I will escape from the pot of warm water, it is better to be sooner rather than later.
In 15 years, I graduated from a 211 university majoring in chemical machinery (process equipment and control engineering, to be precise). I've been working in the refinery since I graduated, and I've been working on the front line for a while now. Now the environmental protection is very strict, for the central state-owned enterprises will always be the forerunner of the national system policy, in the environmental protection spare no effort to invest a lot of a lot, the plant does not have any odor. A variety of active and passive safety measures are complete. Employee level is generally very high the company has regular staff training, high level of operation and sis system to protect, many years have not had an accident. The company has regular staff training, and the high level of operation and sis system protects the company from accidents for many years.
I also work in a chemical plant, two shifts, 12 hours of work, the wage is less than 4,000 yuan and we do not have five insurance and a gold factory to this does not give us insurance, we use raw materials are toxic, such as dibenzoic acid, phenol, cresol, o-benzene, and other industrial raw materials, and some solid raw materials are harmful to the body of the material even though there is said to be masks, but sometimes still feel chest tightness, gasping for breath, the boss is also very stingy, masks, and so on. The boss is very stingy, he only gives out masks once every half month, and he keeps cutting back on the old safety products, so who would want to work in such an environment if it wasn't for the sake of living? Every time we have an inspection, they are always notified before they are inspected, and they cheat and make false claims, and the wages aren't transparent, and every night, the whole park smells terrible, and the air is polluted by the whole plant. I just quit my job at a chemical plant in February.
This chemical factory mainly produces pharmaceutical intermediates, which are semi-finished raw materials for western medicines, and exports them to Europe, America and India.
There are roughly three kinds: pediatric asthma, blood pressure, and vitamin C.
The company has been working for over a decade on the development of a new product line.
The working time is three shifts, one shift of eight hours, that is, the kind of work system that does not stop people.
As soon as you enter the factory, the first thing you can smell is the pungent smell of all kinds of flavors, which makes you feel sick to your stomach and vomit.
Then the machine roars, the noise is very big. You can't even hear your voice.
The raw materials and products are highly toxic, and all of them are flammable and explosive.
They are all flammable and explosive, such as trichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, and so on, and they are available in bags of powder and buckets of water.
Cell phones and smoking are strictly prohibited in the factory, and the work clothes are uniformly issued in cotton fabrics, and the work is fully armed with helmets, protective glasses, anti-virus masks, and even masks that look like noses.
The cell phone produces electromagnetic sparks, chemical fiber fabrics produce static electricity, smoke is an open flame, because the raw materials and products are very low ignition point, so these are absolutely not allowed.
The main feeling is that the toxic gases are harmful to the human body, and the inflammation of the throat is the main reason why I chose to leave the chemical industry.
The second is the safety issue, not according to the rules of operation, misoperation, can cause steam burns, nitrogen caused by asphyxiation, fire, and explosion.
The chemical industry was once unable to recruit people because of its specificity and danger.
So the personnel department recruits workers every day. Even if you introduce a worker, if he works for 6 months, the introducer will have 300 bonus.
The age has been relaxed again and again, from 20, 30 to 40 or 50 years old, but the workers are still not easy to recruit. We jokingly call this a "retirement home".
There is a serious shortage of people for each position, and the employees are one for two, and some of them work for a long time on 8 to 8 (12 hours).
Now every industry has a labor shortage, the population is aging, to work in first-tier cities, some of the demolition of households to eat the old capital, do not want to do.
Chemical industry is a high-risk industry, although there are five insurance and one gold, life and accommodation have improved, but the limit and the level of consumption on the mainland, the wage is too low, and so on these reasons, resulting in a chemical plant can not find people, but also can not keep people.
Three shifts, the production of nitrogen trifluoride special gases, electrolysis section, pre-treatment section, the workshop requires efficiency output but the equipment can not reach the required - output, every day to work busy, careful thousands, due to the process does not have a precedent, there are many problems, every day is a tense nerves in the first line of the workshop 10 8 have fluoride due to the product of the domestic production of a few, occupational disease is unknown, in order to health and dry a few years to run away, the body is not a good idea. Healthy dry a few years on the run, high temperature, high heat, high toxicity scared you Electrolysis workshop temperature of about 50 degrees, go inside the workshop to wear a set of threadbare clothing outside a set of raincoat, head wear gas mask, helmet plus mask feet wear anti-static shoes, gloves, a pair of thin latex gloves outside the set of thick invasive rubber gloves, the whole body does not leak a trace of skin, just like this is still being electrolysis raw materials (stronger than sulfuric acid by many times) burnt Luckily, at that time, react quickly and within a minute with a special solution, or else I would have to go to the hospital. Luckily, I was able to react quickly and use a special potion within a minute, otherwise I would have been burned to the bone, burned to the bone, and there was no way to save me. Sent to the burn hospital hospital also did not have any way.
You think about the summer into the workshop inside the work what is the feeling, in which can continuously dry half an hour is a cowman. Workshop inside the first-line employees are not on the old and young, who do Oh, but this factory in which the city is good, do not owe wages relative to other factories, pay treatment much better. (Evolution of the factory should be carefully considered not married single, it is best not to go, especially the first-line workers factory has been a lot of things will be some hidden fire ah explosion ah leakage ah inevitably) a word or two can not say is also for the body and health to dry a few years on the road a little bit no regrets that is to take the life and health of the money earned. Immature chemical plant dry is to die, but also to take a variety of accidents continue to improve hope that the former colleagues are getting better and better.
I work in the petrochemical plant for more than ten years, at the beginning of our unit is a private enterprise, and then was acquired by the state-owned enterprises, and now has become a well-known state-owned units, but the wages are low. After the five insurance and one gold, the January salary of about three thousand, about ten days of annual leave a year, usually four shifts, three times, biological clock disorder, now the chemical management is more and more stringent, the state-owned enterprises system has many unreasonable, serious formalism, many times to work more to cope with a variety of inspections and clean up, the real production instead of ranked in the back, have a family and children, because of shift work, accompanied by the children less time, and sometimes really want to go to work. The child's time is less, sometimes really want to give up this job, but the state-owned enterprises, as if the chicken ribs, so that I have always been indecisive
Study of chemistry, graduated from the work of more than ten years, in 2012, where the company has also occurred in a big explosion accident, the night shift has also been on the chemical plant on the body of the body is certainly a hazard to the personal safety is not fully guaranteed, but there is no way to support their families, and into the several chemical plants, one of which is still very good, and the other one is a very good, and the other one is a very good, and the other one is very good. Chemical plant, one of them is still very good, laboratory, not much pressure, leadership appreciation, a week off one and a half days, wages can be, single, stayed for four years. Because of the introduction of classmates, went to another factory, when the workshop management, because it is a new factory, the process is not mature, all kinds of tired, a month or two lost more than ten pounds, the boss is still not appreciated, the benefits are not good, left, and then went to another pharmaceutical intermediates production enterprises as a workshop director, the wages are still good, close to home, home every day after work, you can take care of the children. The previous owner of a new enterprise in the neighborhood, the students again invited over, although the boss relationship is general, but the students are factory director, so still go, and new products, all kinds of tired, dirty. For some reasons, the company's shareholding structure changes, management changes, my classmate is still the factory director, general manager changed, think about it or resigned, went to a traditional Chinese medicine extraction enterprises as the quality of the person in charge, treatment is good, the working environment is very good, just his wife can not go to work, the child has to be raised, but also the second child, when classmates were first introduced to go to the enterprise, change the boss, classmates are not there, treatment improved, although there is Hesitation, or go, and all kinds of tired, this is my experience in the chemical industry over the years back and forth.
