Can corporate safety production funds be used for the renovation of environmental protection facilities?

There have been cases where pollution control costs were included in safety expenses, which led to objections from inspectors. Don’t people have different opinions on this issue?

In my opinion, occupational health is aimed at ensuring safety, and fire protection is also aimed at ensuring safety – so why isn’t addressing environmental issues done for the sake of safety?

Just chat with him about the Xiangshui accident :)

Enterprise environmental protection facilities pose safety hazards, and the costs required for rectification can certainly be included in the safety expenses. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to provide a nuanced explanation for including certain environmental protection facilities under the safety expenses. For example, VOC treatment facilities can be understood from the perspective of flammable gases resulting from oil and gas vaporization; explaining them in terms of potential leaks at sealing points is feasible. But it’s more difficult to do the same for exhaust gas treatment facilities, as they are indeed classified as environmental protection facilities

Yes. Talk to him about the hazardous waste spill incident.

It cannot be used for addressing potential hazards in environmental protection facilities

Safety expenses shall be used within the scope specified below. 5261 (I) Expenditures on improving, upgrading, and maintaining safety protection equipment and facilities: 4102 Of these, 1653: 1. Safety equipment and facilities in mining enterprises refer to systems for comprehensive dust control, geological monitoring, fire prevention and control, water management, detection of hazardous gases, ventilation systems, equipment for supporting structures and preventing slope failures, mechanical and electrical equipment, power supply and distribution systems, transportation (elevating) systems, as well as tailing ponds (dams), etc ； 2. Safety equipment and facilities in hazardous materials manufacturing enterprises refer to those devices and systems used for monitoring, surveillance, ventilation, sun protection, temperature control, fire prevention, fire suppression, explosion prevention, pressure relief, poison prevention, disinfection, neutralization, moisture prevention, lightning protection, static electricity prevention, corrosion prevention, leakage prevention, as well as protective barriers or isolated operation areas in workplaces such as workshops and warehouses ； 3. The safety equipment and facilities of road transportation enterprises refer to systems for detecting and maintaining the safety condition of transport vehicles, as well as additional safety devices for these vehicles. (II) Expenditures on necessary emergency rescue equipment and devices, as well as safety protection items for on-site workers. (III) Expenditures on safety production inspections and evaluations. (IV) Expenditures for the assessment, rectification, and monitoring of major hazard sources and potential major accidents. (5) Expenditures on safety skills training and emergency rescue drills. (VI) Other expenses directly related to work safety. Environmental protection facilities are also production units; if it is an expenditure related to the safety of such facilities, it can be counted as a safety cost.

Flue gas denitration is another option as well; for example, it can cause corrosion of equipment and pipelines, and affect the probes used in flue gas monitoring, leading to inaccurate data. This can significantly impact the stability and continuity of production. Moreover, inspection methods such as thickness measurement in flues represent weak points for companies, and these aspects can certainly be linked to safe production practices: lol Of course, this is just for discussion purposes; if we’re being serious, we still need to follow the advice of experts :)
