2024 Key Guidance Directory for Safety Production Law Enforcement Inspection of Hazardous Chemical Enterprises

1. The main person in charge of a hazardous chemical enterprise fails to perform the statutory safety production management responsibilities (including situations where the main person in charge is unclear, resulting in failure to implement the statutory safety production management responsibilities).

2. Failure to truthfully record the investigation and management of accident hazards or failure to notify employees (including the main person in charge failing to make a safety risk commitment announcement, or the announcement not matching the on-site situation, false commitments, and related circumstances).

3. Failure to regularly inspect and test hazardous chemical pipelines (including fittings) involving flammable, explosive, or highly toxic materials as required.

4. Equipment, pipelines, and fittings involving flammable, explosive, or highly toxic materials leak and are not properly handled but continue to operate, or operate with defects without taking effective measures to completely eliminate hazards.

5. Safety interlocks of production units and storage facilities involving major hazard sources and key regulated hazardous chemical processes are removed without following procedures or not restored in a timely manner.

6. Failure to implement change management systems (including changes involving major hazard sources, key regulated hazardous chemical process production units and storage facilities, changes in main persons in charge, raw materials, process routes, products, key equipment not included in change management, or failure to conduct safety risk analysis during changes, and related situations).

7. Hazardous chemical construction projects have not undergone safety facility design review or have not been constructed according to the approved safety facility design or have not undergone safety condition review.

8. Floating roof of oil and gas internal floating roof tanks has settled to the bottom during operation.

9. Major hazard source enterprises of hazardous chemicals have not established or effectively operated a dual prevention mechanism.

10. Failure to establish and implement a safety production responsibility system (including failure to establish safety responsibility systems for main persons in charge, technical leaders, and operation leaders of major hazard sources and failure to perform duties truthfully).

11. Hazardous chemical tank areas constituting level one or two major hazard sources have not achieved emergency shut-off functions; tank areas involving toxic gases, liquefied gases, and highly toxic liquids at level one or two major hazard sources have not been equipped with independent safety instrumented systems.

12. Upstream and downstream supporting devices of nitration, chlorination, fluorination, diazotization, and peroxide process units have not achieved automated control.

13. Enterprises with fine chemical production units involving nitration, chlorination, fluorination, diazotization, and peroxide have not conducted full-process reaction safety risk assessments of product production processes, have not tested thermal stability of raw materials, intermediates, products, and by-products, or have not implemented assessment recommendations.

14. Employees lack corresponding safety production knowledge and management capabilities (including enterprises with "two key and one major" production units and storage facilities, where main persons in charge and those responsible for production, equipment, technology, safety, and safety management personnel do not have relevant college-level or above degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering, safety, or intermediate or above professional titles in chemical fields, and related situations).

15. Offices, rest rooms, outdoor operation rooms, and inspection rooms are set up inside plants (including units or workshops) and warehouses with Class A and B fire hazards, dust explosion hazards, and poisoning hazards.

16. Main persons in charge and safety production management personnel of hazardous chemical production and operation enterprises have not passed legal assessments.

17. Special operators involved in hazardous chemical processes operate without obtaining special operation permits.

18. External safety protection distances of production units and storage facilities involving "two key and one major" do not meet national standard requirements.

19. Units involving key regulated hazardous chemical processes have not achieved automated control; systems have not achieved emergency shutdown functions; automated control systems and emergency shutdown systems are not in use.

20. Explosion hazard areas have not installed and used explosion-proof electrical equipment according to national standards.

21. Places involving combustible and toxic harmful gas leaks have not set detection and alarm devices according to national standards; combustible and toxic gas detection and alarm systems are not in use or are in abnormal states, and long-term alarms are not handled.

22. No management systems for special operations such as hot work and confined space; special operations performed without permits; hot work and confined space operations not conducted with required gas analysis; no monitoring during operations.

23. Hazardous chemicals are not stored according to national standards for zoning and classification; over-quantity or over-variety storage; incompatible substances mixed or stored together.

24. On-site sensing, monitoring, and control equipment and facilities of the hazardous chemical safety production risk monitoring and early warning system are not operating normally.

25. Hazardous chemical production and import enterprises have not legally registered hazardous chemicals or have not handled registration changes as required.

26. Hazardous chemical production and operation enterprises do not standardize the use of "one book one signature" to convey hazardous chemical hazard information.

27. Hazardous chemical production and import enterprises have not conducted physical hazard identification and classification for chemicals containing one or more components listed in the "Hazardous Chemicals Catalogue" but whose overall physical hazard is not yet determined; have not conducted physical hazard identification and classification for chemicals not listed in the "Hazardous Chemicals Catalogue" and whose physical hazard is not yet determined.

28. Hazardous chemical construction projects have not carried out the "Three Checks and Four Determinations" (checking design omissions, engineering quality and hazards, unfinished work; assigning tasks, personnel, time, and measures for identified problems with deadlines for completion), or have not implemented rectification of problems found in the "Three Checks and Four Determinations" before starting trial production.

29. More than three on-site operators simultaneously operate in nitration reaction units (plants).

30. Nitric acid storage methods, approaches, and quantities do not comply with national standards or relevant national regulations (including failure to determine the maximum storage amount of ammonium nitrate according to standards such as "Risk Benchmark for Hazardous Chemical Production Units and Storage Facilities" (GB 36894); ammonium nitrate warehouses less than 50 meters apart; flammable and explosive materials stored within 50 meters around solid ammonium nitrate warehouses; production units and storage facilities involving flammable and explosive materials built nearby; bulk storage and open-air storage of solid ammonium nitrate and related situations).

31. Liquid chlorine storage areas lack sealed plants and automatic absorption systems.

32. Failure to establish and implement a safety management system for abnormal operating conditions; cross-operation at the same location during on-site handling of abnormal conditions; unrelated personnel entering hazardous areas on site; personnel gathering present during on-site handling within the same unit area.
