A problem with major hazard sources

Refer to Document No. 56; it contains the registration forms for major hazard sources such as boilers, pressure pipelines, and pressure vessels, with all the relevant information included therein.

Everyone is using Order No. 40 now; how come you’re still using Document No. 56? . There is a table in the appendix to Document No. 56, but where should you register this major hazard source? Is it the regional work safety supervision agency or the quality supervision agency? Will the work safety supervision agency handle it? Even if it is approved, you must carry out hierarchical and regular assessments in accordance with the requirements of Document No. 56, and you need to install safety monitoring facilities. Although the two key areas and one major hazard fall under the category of hazards, what’s your view on this major hazard source in your factory? . I remember there was a machinery manufacturing company in Hangzhou. The work safety supervision agency said that its special equipment such as cranes had not been registered or filed. They said they would impose penalties on the company for that. The machinery company then filed an administrative appeal, asking why they should be punished – after all, the inspection reports were valid, the registration certificates were in order, and the quality supervision agency had records of everything. So why punish them? With this device, you don’t conduct any inspections, issue any certificates, or carry out any verifications – you just ignore everything. You’re not the authorities in charge; so which regulation allows you to punish me? . The appeal was successful, and Order No. 40 was issued

Document No. 56 of {2004} can be abolished. When talking about major hazard sources now, we are referring to “**major chemical hazard sources**”. Reference.

No document has been issued to repeal Document No. 56, but its practicality is extremely poor; in practice, major hazard sources can be found everywhere, leading to confusion as to what is primary and what is secondary. . Most local work safety supervision bureaus also failed to comply with Document No. 56; subsequent documents issued by these bureaus did not include the term \"major chemical hazard sources\", nor did they specify the grading of such major hazard sources. .

Now, Order No. 40 is in use; Order No. 56 is no longer needed

To determine whether boilers, pressure pipelines, and pressure vessels constitute major hazard sources, it is necessary to follow Document No. 56. If they are **major hazard sources related to chemicals, then only Document No. 40 applies; Document No. 56 is no longer relevant in such cases
