Chapter 53 The Most Innocent Scapegoat

The specific process of the matter was quickly figured out after Fan Heng hurried back to the factory.

The reason is very simple, and it is very infuriating to say it!

In fact, after Fan Heng became the director of the general assembly workshop, under Fan Wubing's reminder, he issued a series of safety rules and regulations, one of which was specially emphasized on fire prevention, and it was clearly stipulated that gasoline and other explosives should not be used in the workshop. Use flammable and volatile organic solvents to clean the dirt on the ground or the surface of machinery and equipment to avoid fires.

This matter is naturally very correct, and the employees strictly abide by it. Although they have done this before, since the leader has spoken, the subordinates cannot take it lightly.

But once, for the sake of convenience, a worker sprinkled gasoline on the mop to clean the ground. As a result, when he bent down, the metal lighter in his jacket pocket suddenly fell out and bounced on the hard concrete floor. After turning a few somersaults, the cover unexpectedly popped open by itself, and the sparks that burst out immediately ignited the gasoline that evaporated on the ground, and flames burst into the space within a few meters.

Fortunately, Fan Heng was at the scene at the time, and he shouted anxiously, and a dozen workers with fire extinguishers formed a semicircle to fight the fire. Only then did the fire be suppressed and a major safety accident was avoided.

However, this incident was full of evil from the beginning to the end. Later, when everyone was free, they wanted to reproduce the scene, took a lighter and threw it on the ground, but never once could the lid be opened by themselves and the gasoline on the ground ignited.

Since this lesson, none of the workers in the workshop dared to scrub the floor with gasoline anymore.

But this time, Fan Heng took his technical strength to Guangzhou to investigate and study. Naturally, the management in the workshop was relaxed, but there was a limit to the relaxation of the workers. At least the rules and regulations still dare not be used as a joke.

Unexpectedly, just after Fan Wubing and the others left, the higher-ups suddenly notified that a leader was coming to inspect the factory, and specifically emphasized the need to inspect the production situation of the assembly workshop. I specially came to the general assembly workshop for a short stay, in order to let them do the reception work well and tidy up all the places that should be tidied up.

The environment in the workshop is naturally not very good. This is not a dust-free and sterile workshop thirty years later, but a cement floor covered with sludge and waste paint. Although the workers wiped it carefully, some things are It was difficult to clean, so Deputy Director Wang waved his hand and asked everyone to use gasoline to scrub the ground.

The squad leader who was temporarily in charge of the workshop immediately reminded the leader that there was a regulation in the workshop that gasoline and other organic solvents could not be used to clean the floor inside the workshop. Under his insistence, the workers had no choice but to bear the burden of humiliation.

So the fire broke out suddenly. Twelve people died on the spot, seven people were seriously injured, and several others were slightly injured. Almost all the workers present at the time were injured, but the instigator of this incident, Deputy Factory Manager Wang, was not injured at all. , because at that time he felt that the smell of gasoline was too hurtful, so he went out to breathe by himself, and just escaped the catastrophe.

When Fan Heng returned to check the burned workshop, all he could see was the aftermath of the fire. The four-storey building was charred and blackened, and the wooden doors and windows were all reduced to charcoal and ashes. The iron gate made of steel bars was burned and deformed, and the concrete floor was a little vitrified.

The oil depot was even more horrible. The large oil tank with a diameter of more than ten meters burst completely, and even the roof was blown away. There is not much stock inside, otherwise, if the rescue is not timely, it will easily cause a chain reaction of nearby buildings and bring greater losses. Even so, fighting the fire also took everyone an entire afternoon.

It was hard to control the fire until all the oil in the oil tank was burned out.

The damage inside the assembly workshop was the biggest, and many equipments were completely scrapped. Fortunately, only non-combat parts of military products were installed here. If the warheads of torpedoes were also installed here, the consequences would not be the same as they are now.

As soon as Fan Heng came back, he was surrounded by workers in the workshop, crying to him about the loss in the workshop, and some people ignored the safety production rules and regulations, and ordered the workers to use gasoline to clean the ground. The more Fan Heng listened, the more excited he became, and he wished he could immediately go to the factory department to question this matter face to face.

However, the fire had been going on for several days, and the person who was directly responsible for the accident, Deputy Factory Manager Wang, was still fine. What to do or what to do, the factory department did not express a public view or opinion on this.

Many people know about this matter. Deputy factory director Wang is a person with a background. He was a cadre transferred from the army. Climbing up from the position of ordinary cadres, when Sun Baoqing stepped down, he hurriedly pushed him to the position of deputy factory director. He worked like this for more than ten years. The relationship with him is still very hard, and the influence of the entanglement is not small, and the secretary of the factory director has no temper with him.

But when things get so big, there has to be a scapegoat to take responsibility. Deputy factory manager Wang has someone above him, so he naturally refuses to be Lei Feng, and the squad leader who is in charge of the daily work of the workshop died in the fire. Go, I can't find a convincing scapegoat. Because of this matter, the factory is also very headache. If there is such a big safety accident, if we don't deal with a leader with real power, it will be difficult to explain to the top and bottom ah!

Therefore, Deputy Director Wang, who was eager to get rid of the responsibility for the fire, turned his attention to Fan Heng who was on a business trip. He thought to himself that Fan Heng was just a middle-level leader who was promoted from an ordinary technician, and there was nothing too hard behind him. With the backing, it won't cause any changes if he is overcast.

So when Fan Heng just rushed back to the workshop, he was taken away by the people from the Public Security Bureau.
