danger relief area
Thread Content
Article 17 of the **Regulations on the Supervision and Management of Occupational Health in the Workplace** (Order No. 47 of the State Administration for Work Safety) stipulates that in toxic and hazardous work environments where acute occupational injuries may occur, employers shall install alarm devices, provide first-aid supplies on site, washing equipment, emergency evacuation routes, and necessary safety zones. Dear sea friends, how should we understand the term “hazard relief area” here? Are there any specific definitions or criteria?
It should be an area posing an exclusion risk, that is, what’s meant by a buffer zone. The location of the emergency release area is determined based on the direction of wind in the event of an accident, as well as the concentration of toxic substances. Companies can determine the scope of such an area in advance, taking into account the typical wind patterns over the years and the amount of toxic materials stored.
