【Haichuan Safety Discussion】How far away must employees’ shift dormitories be from the workshops (plant areas) to be considered acceptable? I see that many factory dormitories are located at varying distances from the factory complex.

It is more reasonable to have those experiences take place in the office area outside the factory complex (the company). It is not allowed to set it up in the office area of the production workshop.
In Jiangsu, the \"second gate\" system is promoted; what’s inside that second gate is considered the production area – no other options!
“\"Second gate\" + GPS tracking for personnel + command center – I think it’s somewhat useful
People should be at the center, people-oriented; otherwise it’s all just trash
The distance is related to the fire hazard level of the device as well as other hazards; if the device is capable of generating an explosive vapor cloud, then in accordance with the requirements of GB50984, the distance must be determined based on the results of analyses regarding explosions and the spread of toxic substances. If no such calculations are carried out, a distance of 200 meters can be adopted directly.
In many chemical plant areas, due to their remote location, employees follow a routine of going back and forth between the production units, the cafeteria, and the dormitories every day. The distance between the dormitories and the production units, as well as their location, is indeed very important; if the dormitories are located downwind, it can be a real hassle. There is a residential area for workers in the chemical plant, located 3 kilometers away from the plant. When north-westerly winds blow, the particulates emitted from the power plant’s chimneys end up on the clothes that residents are drying, leaving behind layers of black dust whenever those clothes are shaken.
In Yunnan, they practice a separation of the four areas; the newly built facilities don’t even provide any accommodation for employees
Isn’t there even a small shop at the entrance? ? ?
Question: What is four-zone separation?
