Which professional department is responsible for the assessment and control of major hazard sources?

Reply 1# jml11: The assessment and control of major hazard sources need to be broken down into separate tasks and implemented at different levels (the assessment can be carried out by specialized intermediary agencies; it is generally possible to conduct such an assessment once every 1–2 years)； The assessment is carried out by professionals at the company level in areas such as safety, production, mechanical equipment, electricity, and instrumentation, and is generally conducted once per quarter ； The inspection and evaluation of the responsible units are generally carried out once a month. As for control within the company, it can also be divided into company-level supervision and management control, as well as workshop-level process control and remote monitoring, etc.; however, the ultimate responsibility for management should lie with the safety department.

Reference can be made to the Interim Provisions on the Supervision and Management of Major Hazard Sources of Hazardous Chemicals, which contain specific regulations.

The safety management department; in our organization, it’s the SHE department

The introduction by the 3rd-floor moderator is very clear! In addition, in accordance with the Interim Provisions on the Supervision and Management of Major Hazard Sources of Hazardous Chemicals, which will come into effect next month, these provisions require hazardous chemical enterprises to conduct safety assessments of their major hazard sources. To further reduce the burden on these enterprises and avoid unnecessary repeated work, such assessments can be carried out by the enterprises themselves or entrusted to safety assessment agencies with the appropriate qualifications ； Safety assessment can be carried out together with the safety evaluations required by laws and administrative regulations, or it can be conducted separately. In addition, the Interim Provisions stipulate that if there is a high volume of such substances in major hazard sources classified as level 1 or level 2, hazardous chemicals enterprises shall entrust safety assessment agencies with the appropriate qualifications to conduct safety assessments using more advanced, stringent, and internationally standard quantitative risk assessment methods, so as to better understand the actual risk level of these major hazard sources and implement effective control measures.
