Is a safety assessment required for the production of non-hazardous chemicals?
Thread Content
In practice, we encounter such a problem: the chemical products manufactured are not considered chemical hazards, but hazardous chemicals are used in the production process. Is it necessary to conduct a safety assessment for such products or projects before they go into operation? Such issues are a common problem; everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion.

In accordance with Article 17 of the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals, units that produce, store, or use highly toxic chemicals shall conduct a safety assessment of their production and storage facilities once a year； Units that produce, store, or use other hazardous chemicals shall conduct a safety assessment of their production and storage facilities every two years. Therefore, enterprises that use them also need to conduct safety assessments: loveliness:
Such enterprises fall under the category of those that use hazardous chemicals. If the amount of hazardous chemicals used is large, 1) for newly established enterprises, a safety pre-assessment of the storage facilities for hazardous chemicals, such as warehouses or tank areas, must be conducted after the project is approved; an acceptance assessment of these storage facilities is carried out after the enterprise starts operating officially, and thereafter an evaluation of the way in which hazardous chemicals are used and stored within the enterprise is conducted every two years； 2) For enterprises that are already in operation, a safety status assessment must be conducted every two years. Enterprises that use hazardous chemicals are not subject to licensing requirements (hazardous chemicals production license, hazardous chemicals business license). The above are the **provisions regarding the safety assessment of entities that use hazardous chemicals.
Thank you to the person above for providing a detailed explanation and giving us a clear answer.
Should be: lol As long as it’s a hazardous chemical, an safety assessment should be conducted
