Recently, the Ministry of Emergency Management issued a notice to initiate the first safety inspection and supervision campaign in 2023 for enterprises with major hazardous sources of hazardous chemicals. This special inspection and supervision effort is an important measure to implement the directives of **** and the State Council regarding the safe production of hazardous chemicals. It represents a concrete action taken to advance the 2023 campaign for the targeted identification and rectification of major accident hazards across the country, as well as to prevent and mitigate major safety risks associated with hazardous chemicals. It will be carried out through four levels: enterprise self-inspections, municipal cross-checks, provincial random inspections, and ministerial supervision and verification, in order to ensure coverage of nearly 7,000 enterprises with major hazard sources across the country as well as over 23,000 such hazard sources. This approach aims to thoroughly identify and address safety risks and potential hazards, thereby preventing serious and catastrophic accidents. Hazardous chemicals, due to their extreme danger, can easily lead to serious safety accidents if not strictly controlled and managed, resulting in significant social impacts and economic losses. Therefore, the importance of safe production of hazardous chemicals is self-evident. Strict supervision and management are essential for the safe production of hazardous chemicals. It is necessary to establish a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework as well as effective safety management systems. Safety measures must be strengthened at all stages of hazardous chemical production, transportation, storage, and use. Additionally, it is important to raise the safety awareness and skills of enterprise employees to ensure the safe production of such chemicals.
