Measures against wind and water damage at high-pressure gas-related establishments (warning)
Last updated on August 4, 2021.
For business establishments handling high-pressure gas
Overview of this matter
In recent years, typhoons, heavy rains, and high tides have caused damage to high-pressure gas facilities, etc., resulting in leakage of high-pressure gas and leakage of high-pressure gas containers.
I'm born.
Even in Yokohama City, there have been cases where high-pressure gas containers flow out of the premises of the business site due to the high tide caused by Typhoon No. 15, which was launched in September 2019, and some of them flow out to the sea. In the future, there is concern that natural disasters such as typhoons and guerrilla Australia rain will occur.
Once damage occurs, there is a possibility that a significant impact will occur not only on the affected offices, but also on the surrounding offices and residents.
Yes, there is.
We ask all business establishments handling high-pressure gas to promote further security management in response to wind and flood damage.
Sir.
