State Council Decree No. 84 on Tank Farm Management

Is there no content? I just heard about some ten-point regulations yesterday; I haven’t seen the specific details yet.

Ten items have been made public online; they are essentially the survey results, presented as ten separate points.

**Order No. 84 of the State Administration for Work Safety: The “Ten Provisions on Fire and Explosion Prevention in Oil and Gas Tank Farms” were approved at the meeting of the Bureau Director’s Office of the State Administration for Work Safety on July 30, 2015; they are hereby promulgated and shall come into force as of the date of publication. Director Yang Dongliang, August 4, 2015 – Ten Regulations on Fire and Explosion Prevention in Oil and Gas Storage Areas. 1. It is strictly prohibited to operate oil and gas storage tanks beyond their temperature, pressure, or liquid level limits, as well as to change the storage medium arbitrarily. II. It is strictly prohibited for operators to leave the site when manually removing water, switching tanks, or loading/unloading vehicles in oil and gas tank farms. III. It is strictly prohibited to shut down the safety valves and cut-off valves of operating oil and gas storage tanks, as well as to install blind flanges on the pressure relief and discharge systems. IV. It is strictly prohibited to disable the temperature, pressure, level, as well as combustible and toxic gas alarm and interlock systems in oil and gas tank farms. V. It is strictly prohibited to perform welding work or enter confined spaces in oil and gas tank areas without conducting gas testing and obtaining an operation permit. VI. It is strictly prohibited for the floating disk of an internal floating roof storage tank to touch the bottom during operation. VII. It is strictly prohibited to directly add substances of unknown properties or those that may undergo violent reactions into oil and gas storage tanks or the pipelines connected to them. VIII. The use of non-explosion-proof lighting, electrical equipment, tools, and electronic devices in oil and gas tank areas is strictly prohibited. 9. It is strictly prohibited to allow unqualified personnel and contractors without the necessary qualifications to work in oil and gas tank farms; motor vehicles and outsiders are not permitted to enter the tank farms without authorization. X. It is strictly prohibited to operate equipment and facilities in oil and gas tank farms when they are in poor condition or malfunctioning.

The ten regulations for explosion prevention – these are common sense, aren’t they?

Common sense questions are often overlooked and problems arise as a result; laws and regulations are still being promoted, and it is normal for common sense to be overlooked

The director is under investigation – do the regulations still hold? :P

The ten regulations are actually included in the rules and regulations; what matters is implementation! There are safety inspections conducted every year, yet many accidents still occur. Any reflection on that?

Just like CNPC’s “Six Prohibitions,” no one talks about them anymore; the requirements at that time were very strict, and those who violated the “Six Prohibitions” had their employment contracts terminated. CNPC has 1.8 million employees, and I’ve heard of no one being fired for violating the \"Six Prohibitions\". CNPC Group’s “Six Prohibitions” against Violations: These prohibitions have been established to further regulate employees’ safe behavior, prevent and eliminate violations of safety rules, and ensure the safety of employees as well as the smooth progress of the company’s operations. 1. It is strictly prohibited for persons without valid operation certificates to carry out operations in special types of work ； II. It is strictly prohibited to operate in violation of the operating procedures ； III. It is strictly prohibited to carry out hazardous operations without proper permits ； IV. It is strictly prohibited to leave one’s post, doze off at work, or take up duties while under the influence of alcohol ； V. It is strictly prohibited to transport **items, radioactive sources, and **chemicals in violation of regulations ； VI. It is strictly prohibited to give illegal instructions or force others to work in violation of regulations. Administrative sanctions shall be imposed on employees who violate the aforementioned prohibitions ； In the event of an accident, the employment contract shall be terminated.

On August 4th, it was signed by Comrade Dongliang~~

Common sense isn’t given any importance, then you move up a level, and still no importance is attached to it. Fellow countrymen,
