The Ministry of Emergency Management held a regular press conference in February. At the meeting, Sun Guangyu, Director of the First Department of Hazardous Chemical Supervision of the Ministry of Emergency Management, introduced that through the joint efforts of all parties, the situation of safe production of hazardous chemicals in the country continued to be stable. In 2021, there will be 122 chemical accidents and 150 deaths across the country, a year-on-year decrease of 22 and 28, or 15.3% and 15.7%, respectively, and a decrease of 42 and 124, or 25.6% and 45.3%, respectively, compared with 2019. The number of major accidents dropped to single digits for the first time, and there have been no major accidents for more than 30 consecutive months, creating the longest interval since statistical records.
At the press conference, Sun Guangyu introduced that my country's chemical industry has developed rapidly and has become the world's largest chemical industry since 2010. At present, the output value of chemical industry accounts for more than 40% of the world's total output value. The chemical production process is complicated and the reaction conditions are harsh. The dangerous chemicals involved are flammable, explosive, toxic and harmful, and have high safety risks. Once the control is not in place, accidents may cause heavy casualties and property losses, which seriously impact the people's sense of security. Happiness.
In the two years since the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening the Safety Production of Hazardous Chemicals" was issued, the Ministry of Emergency Management has placed the prevention and resolution of the safety risks of hazardous chemicals as the top priority, and has carried out in-depth three-year special rectification actions on the safety of hazardous chemicals, focusing on "One prevention and three improvements" (prevention and control of major safety risks, improvement of intrinsic safety level, technical quality level, and informatization and intelligent management and control level), continue to make efforts to overcome difficulties, and continuously improve the safety production level of hazardous chemicals.
One is to resolutely prevent and control major security risks. Fully implement safety guarantees, online monitoring and early warning, and full-coverage supervision and inspection twice a year for 23,000 major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals across the country, and carry out in-depth investigation and evaluation of manned oil and gas offshore platforms and large oil and gas storage bases one by one to establish a normal state to carry out special rectification of high-risk enterprises involving ammonium nitrate, nitrification, phosgene, etc. one by one, standardize and strengthen safety management; promote fine chemical enterprises to respond to risk assessment, automation transformation, relocation of densely populated places, and the qualification and ability of key personnel to meet standards "Clear to zero"; implement special rectification of safety risks in the transfer of chemical industry, strengthen the prevention and control of safety risks in new projects, and resolutely avoid repeating the mistakes similar to the "3.21" accident in Xiangshui, Jiangsu.
The second is to comprehensively improve the intrinsic safety level. Promote the identification and announcement of 601 chemical parks in various regions, and carry out "one park, one policy" renovation and improvement, and accelerate the realization of the "two collections and one low" goal of centralized layout, cluster development, and lower safety risk levels; deepen the safety classification and rectification of hazardous chemical enterprises 754 companies were eliminated or ordered to suspend production and business for rectification, and 4,780 companies were upgraded; 2,769 illegal and illegal "small chemical companies" were rectified, and 1,132 production companies in densely populated urban areas were promoted to relocate and renovate with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; 6 key counties for hazardous chemicals were carried out. Round expert guidance service.
The third is to continuously improve the level of skill quality. Promoted 17,000 enterprises and 553,000 full-time safety management personnel to complete safety qualification benchmarking; selected 305 chemical safety education institutions, and 75,000 people participated in the promotion; organized and carried out the construction of enterprise safety training spaces and practical training bases, 496 enterprises, 148 chemical industrial parks were piloted; together with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, a training project to improve the ability to prevent industrial accidents was launched.
The fourth is to accelerate the improvement of the level of informatization and intelligence. Complete the construction of hazardous chemicals safety production risk monitoring and early warning system and continue to deepen the application, promote the digital construction of dual prevention mechanisms for safety risk management and control and hidden danger investigation and governance, realize the organic integration of online and offline measures, and improve quality and efficiency; steadily promote the "Industrial Internet" +The pilot construction of Hazardous Chemical Safety Production has opened up a new path for the Industrial Internet to empower the safety of hazardous chemicals.
