The Guidelines for Chemical Process Safety Management embody four major ideas and trends

The third is the concept of systematic management of process safety.

The core of the concept is to establish a management system applicable to the enterprise around the goal of managing and controlling process risks, implementing proactive and forward-looking management, and constantly improving management through regular audits.

The requirements of safety leadership, safety production responsibility system, safety culture construction, system audit and continuous improvement added in the new standard are all based on the domestic chemical process safety management practice, integrated with the international advanced process safety management concept, best practice experience and domestic safety production technical requirements, and strive to be close to the actual management of enterprises. Form a chemical process safety management system suitable for China's national conditions.

For example, safety leadership construction is an important guarantee for enterprises to achieve safe production, without "manager safety leadership", there is no "safety execution of all staff", it is not possible to talk about the implementation of process safety management; For another example, the safety production responsibility system is the core of enterprise safety management, and the establishment and implementation of the safety production responsibility system is the basis for enterprises to achieve safety production.

In the context of the concept of process safety management, enterprises should be committed to preventing and controlling security risks, so even if they meet the specific requirements of the "standard", "acceptance", "license" and other government regulations, it does not mean that everything is OK, but to constantly improve the corporate safety culture.

In addition, from the perspective of the system, the performance of a management system without any audit must eventually decline, so the effectiveness, applicability and implementation performance of the management system must be evaluated and audited regularly, so as to promote the continuous improvement of the management system.

Fourth, we will strengthen security risk management.

In recent years, there have been many advanced safety production and management concepts, such as HSE management system and safety production standardization system.

Under the HSE management system, occupational health and safety management and environmental management can be effectively integrated to effectively guarantee the occupational health and environmental protection of chemical enterprises; The standardization of safety production requires enterprises to promote the concept of safety first and prevention first.

From the overall development of the chemical industry, safety accidents occur from time to time, some enterprises lack safety production and management awareness, safety hazards are not timely and effective rectification, and enterprise production safety risks are great. The concept of production safety management has gradually developed with the improvement of people's awareness of production safety and health and the progress of science and technology. From the initial fatalistic thought to controllable thought, from a single factor to a system factor, from a single concern for casualties to a unified consideration of health and safety, it is the performance of continuous progress.

The new standard puts forward multiple requirements around security risk management. Strengthening security risk management is also an obvious feature of the national concept of strengthening security. The EU and its member states generally attach importance to and strengthen safety risk management, most of the EU countries have a high degree of industrialization, and attach great importance to the industrial information technology means for occupational safety and health supervision.

3. According to your research, what problems do chemical enterprises still face in terms of production safety management from the perspective of concept and technology? How will the implementation of the new standard help alleviate these problems?

Jiang Juncheng: In recent years, China's chemical safety production situation continues to be stable and good, but the high-risk nature of the chemical industry has not changed, and the long-term accumulation of problems has not been fundamentally solved. The safety foundation of some chemical enterprises is weak, the level of safety management is low, and the task of preventing and resolving major safety risks is difficult and complex.

First, in terms of production safety management, many enterprises still have the problem of lagging management concept, insufficient ideological understanding, low professional quality of production personnel, imperfect safety management system, low execution force, and low level of chemical safety technology. For example, the non-compliance of raw and auxiliary materials brings the risk of production and processing process safety, resulting in no safety guarantee in the production process; The risks caused by the old defects of equipment lead to unsafe behaviors easily lead to accidents and so on.
