The company is carrying out production by replacing the solvent (a hazardous chemical) used in one of the processing steps with another solvent (a non-hazardous substance). How should the documents required for filing with the safety supervision authorities be prepared, and is there a specific format?
As far as I know, the Work Safety Supervision Bureau does not have any regulatory requirements in this regard. At present, the changes made by the Safety Supervision Bureau mainly involve alterations to the content of the licenses, including the legal representative of the enterprise and the name of the enterprise as specified in the license.
Changing hazardous chemicals to non-hazardous ones represents an advancement in safety technology, and the Safety Supervision Bureau fully supports this. It is recommended that this be included in your annual report on safety technology upgrades; currently, the Safety Supervision Bureau does not require any specific submissions in this regard.
It should be reported; otherwise, the safety authorities won’t be aware that you have adjusted production. From the company’s perspective, safety standards improve as a result, but in case of any issues, the safety authorities can claim that we made those adjustments without permission.
What is the nature of the company mentioned by the poster? If it is a hazardous chemicals company, it certainly needs to be registered. It is necessary to analyze the danger of its reaction. If it is not a hazardous chemicals enterprise that uses such chemicals, please let us know.
