According to a report from the Ministry of Emergency Management on July 28, the first ministerial-level inspection and verification campaign for enterprises with major hazardous chemical sources in 2022 has been fully completed. 　　Recently, the Ministry of Emergency Management dispatched 8 working groups to 29 provinces and regions to conduct the first ministerial-level supervision and inspection in 2022 of enterprises with major hazardous chemical sources. A random sample of 60 cities divided into districts, 54 chemical industrial parks, and 184 hazardous chemicals enterprises was inspected, resulting in the identification of over 2,700 safety issues. Local authorities were urged to order 19 enterprises that did not meet safety standards to suspend operations for rectification in accordance with the law. 　　At the same time, efforts are made to focus on addressing safety risks such as those associated with high-risk liquefied hydrocarbon storage areas, the relocation of chemical industries, old facilities, and liquid chlorine. Comprehensive inspections for safe production are carried out, and annual key tasks such as the targeted management of safety risks related to hazardous chemicals are implemented promptly to ensure tangible results. Through corporate self-inspections, municipal cross-inspections, and provincial random inspections, a comprehensive inspection was carried out on over 22,000 major hazard sources at nearly 7,000 enterprises dealing with hazardous chemicals; more than 150,000 potential problems and hazards were identified and addressed.
