When the Typhoon comes, the wind blows, and the shaking shop signs on the streets are indeed at risk of being blown down.This is not only about property safety, but more directly threatens the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.Knowing the risk causes and responsibilities belong, is the common sense of disaster prevention that every City citizen and businessman must have in the flood period.
Why is it so easy to “high-rise”?
The shop signage is the main source of typhoon sky danger, the main source of its special pressure structure. the signage is usually large, wide by the wind, and generates huge wind pressure under the influence of strong winds. According to China Meteorological Bureau tropical cyclone level national standards, when the largest wind force near the typhoon center reaches level 12 and above, the destruction force is extremely strong, enough to overthrow fixed unstable objects.
Many old signs have the following fatal weaknesses:
- Metal fatigue and rust.Long-term exposure to sunshine and rainy rain, the racks and screws are prone to rust and corrosion, and the intensity is greatly reduced.
- Installation is irregular.Part of the signage is fixed on the wall surface only by a simple expansion screw, the main structure is not deepened, and the resistance to pulling is insufficient.
- Design defectsLack of the necessary wind support structure, cannot effectively disperse the wind force.
Therefore, once the wind speed exceeds the design threshold, the connection point can break or a total breakdown may occur.
Who is responsible for safety?
Clearly identify the subject of responsibility is the key to the prevention of accidents. in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and city management regulations, The store operator (store owner) is the first person responsible for the safety of the mark.This means:
- Daily maintenanceThe owner of the store should regularly check whether the signage rack is loose, whether the panel is damaged, and timely for reinforcement or repair.
- Emergency reinforcementAfter the typhoon early warning is issued, the store owner is obliged to take temporary reinforcement measures, such as increasing the load, removing falling parts, etc.
- Legal ResponsibilityIf the loss of the mark causes personal injury or property loss to others, the store owner shall bear the corresponding civil compensation and even criminal liability.
In addition, the property management department has the duty to inspect and urge rectification, while the administrative law enforcement department such as the city administration is responsible for overseeing irregular settings and overseeing the elimination of hidden hazards.
