Safety Management System for Hazardous Chemicals 1 Purpose: To strengthen the safety management of hazardous chemicals, protect the lives and property of employees, and safeguard the environment, this system is formulated in accordance with the Regulations on the Safety Management of Chemical Hazardous Materials (Decree No. 344 of the State Council) and the General Rules for the Storage of Commonly Used Chemical Hazardous Materials (GB15603). 2 Scope of Application This system applies to the safety management of hazardous materials during their transportation, loading and unloading, storage, and use within the company. 3 Responsibilities and Division of Labor: The Department of Safety and Environmental Protection is responsible for formulating and improving the safety management systems for the production and use of hazardous chemicals, as well as for developing corresponding emergency response plans. Relevant departments: The Procurement Department is responsible for the safety management of hazardous materials during transportation, while the Materials Management Department is responsible for their safety management during loading, unloading, and storage. The Production Technology Department and various workshops are responsible for the safety management of hazardous materials during their use. 4 Scope of hazardous chemicals The hazardous chemicals referred to in these regulations include explosives, compressed gases and liquefied gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, self-igniting substances and substances that become flammable when exposed to moisture, oxidizers and organic peroxides, as well as toxic and corrosive substances that can cause injury or death and property damage. 5 Content and Requirements 5.1 In accordance with the Ministry of Transport’s \"Regulations on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Road\" (Document No. Jiaoyunfa 1382) and the \"Rules for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Motor Vehicles\" (JT3130-88), the transportation of hazardous chemicals must be entrusted to vehicles that have obtained a license for transporting such goods. 5.2 Loading and Unloading of Hazardous Materials 5.2.1 When handling hazardous materials, handle them with care; rough handling is strictly prohibited. 5.2.2 When using pumps to load and unload hazardous materials, electrical equipment, instruments, lighting, and other devices must be equipped with explosion-proof features. The pipes must have proper static electricity connections and grounding, and the flow velocity of the fluid within the pipes shall not exceed 3 meters per second. An extension pipe should be used for the feed pipes that extend into the storage tanks, so that feeding can take place from the bottom and accidents caused by static discharge can be prevented. 5.2.3 Pipelines for loading and unloading different items shall be clearly marked to prevent mixed loading. 5.2.4 The loading and unloading of hazardous materials must be carried out using handling tools that meet safety requirements. 5.3 Storage and Handling of Hazardous Materials 5.3.1 The procedures for receiving and dispatching hazardous materials shall be in accordance with the \"Warehouse and Tank Farm Safety Management System\". 5.3.2 Warehouses for storing hazardous materials should follow the principle of separate storage in dedicated areas, with specific types of items stored in fixed quantities in designated warehouses, and managed by designated personnel. The items should be stored in separate rooms, categories, and piles; sufficient fire access routes should be provided between different items, and clear labeling of the items is necessary. It is strictly prohibited to store two dangerous materials with conflicting properties in the same warehouse. 5.3.3 Hazardous materials warehouses should have good ventilation and necessary lightning protection facilities. Storage tanks for flammable and explosive substances should be equipped with sun protection and cooling systems, while the equipment and pipelines must have proper static electricity connections and grounding, as well as safety measures such as containment dikes to prevent leaks. 5.3.4 The open storage of hazardous chemicals shall meet the safety requirements for fire and explosion prevention. **Articles of Category I, highly flammable items, items that catch fire when exposed to moisture, and highly toxic substances must not be left outdoors. 5.3.5 Hazardous materials warehouses must be staffed by dedicated personnel who are familiar with the hazards of the items stored there as well as the emergency procedures for dealing with leaks. Reliable personal protective equipment must also be provided. 5.4 Use of Hazardous Materials 5.4.1 For units that use hazardous materials, the amount taken at one time should generally not exceed what is needed for three days of production; any amount exceeding this limit requires approval from the Production Department. Excess materials produced should be returned to the warehouse in a timely manner. 5.4.2 For units that use hazardous materials, their buildings, equipment, lighting, instruments, etc., must meet the requirements for fire prevention, explosion prevention, and poison prevention. It is also equipped with necessary safety facilities such as fire protection, ventilation, cooling, moisture prevention, lightning protection, and static electricity prevention, as well as facilities to prevent environmental pollution. 5.4.3 The heating of flammable and explosive materials must never be carried out using an open flame; if induction heating is necessary, strict isolation measures as well as safety measures to prevent electric shock must be implemented. 5.4.4 Sites where highly toxic substances are produced and used must be equipped with specialized protective equipment and antidotes. 5.4.5 It is strictly prohibited to use flammable and explosive liquids to clean equipment, tools, and clothing, and eating and drinking are forbidden in areas where highly toxic substances are present. 5.5 During the production, storage, and use of flammable, explosive, toxic, and hazardous chemicals, corresponding emergency rescue plans must be formulated, and the management requirements outlined in the \"Emergency Rescue Plan for Chemical Hazard Accidents\" must be followed. 6 Relevant systems: \"Warehouse and tank farm safety management system\", \"Emergency response plan for hazardous chemical accidents\", \"Fire prevention, explosion prevention and hot work management system\". 7 Relevant records: \"Hazardous chemical transportation contract\", \"Material receipt form\", \"Workshop material requisition form\"
