The Ministry of Emergency Management approves the industry standard "Guidelines for Safety Management of Chemical Processes"

Global Coatings Network News: The Ministry of Emergency Management announced on December 20 that the Ministry of Emergency Management recently approved the industry standard "Chemical Process Safety Management Guidelines" (AQ/T 3034-2022) (click here to download), which will replace the "Implementation Guidelines for Process Safety Management of Chemical Enterprises" (AQ/T 3034-2010), which will be implemented
from April 1, 2023.

In recent years, the national chemical safety production situation has continued to be stable and improving, but the high-risk nature of the chemical industry has not changed, the deep-seated problems accumulated by long-term rapid development have not been fundamentally solved, and the safety foundation of some enterprises is weak, the level of safety management is low, and the task of preventing and resolving major safety risks is arduous and complex
.
Accelerating the formulation of technical specifications such as chemical process safety management guidelines, promoting effective system identification of chemical enterprises, and controlling risks are effective starting points
for preventing serious chemical accidents.

On the basis of combining the current situation of domestic chemical process safety management, this standard revision integrates international advanced process safety management concepts and best practice experience, as well as domestic safety production technical requirements, and strives to be close to the actual management of enterprises and form a chemical process safety management system
suitable for China's national conditions 。 On the basis of the Implementation Guidelines for Process Safety Management of Chemical Enterprises (AQ/T 3034-2010), the new standard has made major adjustments and modifications to the elements of the original standard, increasing the original 12 elements to 20 elements, of which 8 elements such as safety leadership, safety production responsibility system, and intrinsic safety are newly added
.

The "Guidelines for Chemical Process Safety Management" (AQ/T 3034-2022) aims to comprehensively identify risks and control risks, and each element is a high-level summary and induction of the causes of various accidents, which is of great significance
for better guidance and promotion of chemical enterprises to accelerate the management level of process safety management elements, improve the ability to prevent and resolve major safety risks, and promote the continuous and stable improvement of the national chemical safety production situation.
