It is reported that the Leading Group for the Special Action on the Transformation and Upgrading of Safe Production in Shandong Province’s chemical industry has issued the \"Implementation Plan for the Special Rectification Action on Safe Production in the province’s chemical industry and chemical parks.\" The Plan specifies that chemical industrial parks where major or more severe production safety accidents occur due to inadequate identification and rectification of potential hazards shall have their status suspended, and for one year, no procedures related to new construction or expansion projects other than those aimed at addressing safety hazards and environmental pollution shall be processed. Chemical enterprises with serious problems should first suspend operations before carrying out rectifications. Shandong Province is China’s leading province in the chemical industry. As early as 2015, 104 chemical enterprises from Shandong Province were included in the \"Top 500 Chinese Petrochemical Enterprises 2018\" list; Jiangsu Province ranked second with 53 enterprises, while Zhejiang Province had 34 enterprises on the list. Industry experts analyze that as a result of these regulatory measures, some small chemical parks and enterprises are likely to be shut down, which will benefit the leading companies in the industry such as Hualu Hengsheng and Luxi Chemical.
The \"Plan\" issued this time by the Chemical Industry Transformation Office of Shandong Province focuses on addressing the prominent issues in chemical industrial parks and strengthening safety improvements in key enterprises. It involves comprehensive inspections and rectifications of potential hazards, targeting enterprises with high risks, key monitoring points, enterprises undergoing relocation or renovation, as well as new and expanded projects. Special attention is paid to critical links, key positions, and key personnel, with the aim of thoroughly identifying safety risks and effectively addressing potential accident hazards.
Safety first, with a people-oriented approach; production is strictly prohibited if the rectifications are not thorough enough or if the inspections fail. Efforts to improve safety conditions should be intensified in order to reduce the occurrence of accidents.
