Accident Classification and Management 1.1 Accidents can be managed according to the following categories: 1.1.1 Production (process) accidents: These refer to accidents that occur during the production process as a result of violations of process procedures, job operation guidelines, or improper operations, leading to losses of raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products. 1.1.2 Equipment accidents: Refer to incidents in which equipment suffers abnormal damage, resulting in downtime, loss of production, or repair costs reaching a specified amount. 1.1.3 Quality accidents: refer to incidents in which the product quality (including project quality and service quality) fails to meet technical standards and specifications. 1.1.4 Traffic accidents: refer to incidents in which vehicles or ships are damaged, people are injured or killed, or property is lost as a result of violations of transportation rules or other reasons. 1.1.5 Fire accident: Refers to any burning phenomenon that gets out of control and causes damage to property and people, which is considered a fire accident. 1.1.6 Explosion accident: refers to an accident in which **property damage or casualties occur as a result of an explosion. 1.1.7 Damage accident: refers to an accident deliberately created. 1.1.8 Injury and accident: Refers to physical injuries or acute poisoning that occur to enterprise employees during the course of production work. 1.2 Production (process) accidents and equipment accidents are under the responsibility of the Production Department ； Quality incidents are managed by the Technical Quality Inspection Department ； Fire, explosions, traffic incidents, damage accidents, and casualties are under the responsibility of the security department. Various functional departments conduct investigations, collect statistics, and archive them in accordance with the requirements for classified management. 2. Accident levels and loss calculation 2.1 Equipment accidents shall be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions outlined in the \"Equipment and Power Management System for Chemical Industry Enterprises\". 2.2 Fire incidents shall be handled in accordance with the \"Regulations on Fire Statistics Management\" jointly issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Labor, and the **Statistics Bureau. 2.3 Traffic accidents shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the Ministry of Public Security’s “Notice on Doing a Good Job in Traffic Management Statistics”. 2.4 Incidents involving casualties shall be handled in accordance with the \"Classification of Work-related Injury and Death Incidents in Enterprises\", the \"Regulations on the Reporting, Investigation, and Handling of Production Safety Incidents\", and relevant provisions. 3. Emergency response and rescue 3.1 In the event of an accident in a company, it is necessary to take active measures for rescue and proper handling in order to prevent the accident from spreading. 3.2 In the event of a major accident, enterprise leadership must provide direct command, while the departments responsible for safety technology, equipment and power supply, production, and security should assist in carrying out rescue operations and setting up security measures at the scene. During rescue efforts, care should be taken to preserve the scene. When it is necessary to move objects at the scene to rescue the injured and prevent the accident from spreading, markers must be placed. 3.3 At the scene of accidents or fires involving a large release of hazardous materials, warning barriers must be set up. Rescue personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment, and those who have suffered poisoning, burns, or scalds must receive prompt medical treatment. 4. Accident reporting procedure 4.1 The person who first discovers an accident shall, in addition to taking immediate action, report it to the supervisor or dispatch officer as quickly as possible, and then report it up the chain of command. In the event of any major accident, the enterprise must promptly report an overview of the accident – including the time and location of occurrence, the causes, as well as information on casualties and economic losses – to higher-level authorities and relevant departments within 2 hours, using rapid methods. If the situation continues, report at any time. 4.2 The grassroots unit where the accident occurred shall, within 8 hours, fill out a written accident report in accordance with the regulations and submit it to the enterprise’s competent department. 4.3 In the case of major accidents, the enterprise shall prepare an accident investigation report and submit it to the relevant higher-level authorities within 24 hours. 4.4. In the case of serious liability accidents, in addition to reporting in accordance with relevant regulations, it is also necessary to report to the local people’s procuratorate. 4.5 In the event of any injuries or fatalities among personnel from external organizations while working, conducting practical training, or receiving training at the enterprise, the enterprise shall compile statistics and submit reports in accordance with the specified format. 4.6 In the event of an injury at work, starting from the date of the accident, if the injury changes from minor to severe within one month, or from severe to fatal, it shall not be reported as a severe injury or fatal accident. 5. Responsibility Allocation 5.1 The enterprise’s safety management operates under a responsibility system that combines the responsibility of the general manager with the divided responsibilities of the relevant supervisors. For tasks assigned by the principal officer, if the deputy officer reports them to the principal officer and the suggestions put forward receive no attention or support, or if no action is taken to address them leading to consequences, the principal officer bears primary responsibility. 5.2 If the company’s rules and regulations are inadequate or unscientific, the chief engineer and the deputy general manager in charge are responsible for this issue. If the management department has formulated such rules and regulations but the responsible leader fails to issue them or implement them, then that responsible leader is accountable. 5.3 If the design is defective or does not meet the design specifications, the designer and the approver are responsible. If design defects are discovered during construction or production and measures could have been taken to address them but were not, the leadership of the construction or production department bears primary responsibility. If measures have been established but not implemented, resulting in an accident, the person who violated those measures is responsible. 5.4 Any scientific and technological achievements that are transferred or put into practical use must undergo technical evaluation. If such achievements do not include measures for dust prevention, poison prevention, fire prevention, explosion prevention, as well as treatment of waste materials, along with safety operating procedures, the responsibility of the research and design unit shall be held. 5.6 The manufacturing and construction departments that fail to carry out manufacturing and construction in strict accordance with the drawings, or those who design or modify designs on their own without approval, shall be held responsible for any accidents that result therefrom. 5.7 In the event of an accident caused by violations of safety rules, the persons who committed such violations are held responsible. 5.8 During their apprenticeship*, apprentices must work under the supervision of their master; any accidents resulting from operating without following the master’s instructions are the responsibility of the apprentice themselves ； If an accident occurs while operating under the instructor’s guidance, the instructor bears primary responsibility. 6.
