**Interim Provisions on the Supervision and Management of Major Hazardous Sources of Chemicals (Issued by Order No. 40 of the State Administration of Work Safety on August 5, 2011; amended by Order No. 79 of the State Administration of Work Safety on May 27, 2015) Chapter I General Provisions Article 1 These Provisions are formulated in order to strengthen the supervision and management of major hazardous sources of chemicals, prevent and reduce the occurrence of chemical accidents, and protect the lives and property of the people, in accordance with relevant laws and administrative regulations such as the Work Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Regulations on the Safety Management of Chemicals. Article 2 These provisions shall apply to the identification, assessment, registration, filing, cancellation, and supervision and management of major chemical hazards in entities engaged in the production, storage, use, and operation of **chemicals (hereinafter collectively referred to as **chemical entities). This Regulation does not apply to the safety supervision and management of town gas, **major hazardous chemical installations used in national defense research and production**, and **major hazardous chemical installations within port areas**. Article 3: The term **major hazard sources of chemicals** (hereinafter referred to as major hazard sources) as used in these regulations refers to units (including sites and facilities) where, in accordance with the standard **Identification of Major Hazard Sources of Chemicals** (GB18218), the quantity of **chemicals** produced, stored, used, or transported is equal to or exceeds the critical amount. Article 4 **The chemical enterprise is the entity responsible for the safety management of its major hazard sources; its principal responsible person is accountable for such safety management and ensures the provision of the necessary safety investments for the safe operation of these hazard sources. Article 5: The safety supervision and management of major hazard sources shall follow the principle of combining territorial supervision with hierarchical management. The work safety supervision and management departments of local people’s governments at the county level and above shall, in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, standards, and these provisions, carry out safety supervision and management over major hazard sources within their respective jurisdictions. Article 6 **Encourages** chemical enterprises to adopt advanced and appropriate processes, technologies, equipment, and automatic control systems that help improve the safety standards for major hazard sources, thereby promoting the informatization of safety supervision efforts related to such hazards by the authorities in charge of work safety supervision. Chapter 2: Identification and Assessment Article 7 **Chemical enterprises shall, in accordance with the **Standards for Identifying Major Hazard Sources of Chemicals**, identify major hazard sources in their facilities, equipment, or sites used for the production, operation, storage, and use of chemicals, and record the process and results of such identification. Article 8 **Chemical enterprises shall conduct safety assessments on major hazard sources and determine their hazard levels. **Chemical enterprises can organize their registered safety engineers and technical personnel to conduct safety assessments, or hire relevant experts for such purposes; they can also entrust safety assessment agencies with the appropriate qualifications to carry out these assessments. In accordance with laws and administrative regulations, **for chemical enterprises required to conduct safety assessments, the safety assessment of major hazard sources may be carried out concurrently with the enterprise’s own safety assessment; in such cases, the safety assessment report may serve as the report on the assessment of major hazard sources. Alternatively, the safety assessment of major hazard sources may also be conducted separately.** Hazardous sources are classified into level 1, level 2, level 3, and level 4 according to their degree of hazard, with level 1 being the highest. The classification method for major hazard sources is set forth in Annex 1 to these Provisions. Article 9: In any of the following circumstances regarding major hazard sources, it is necessary to engage a safety assessment agency with the appropriate qualifications to conduct a safety assessment using quantitative risk assessment methods as stipulated in relevant standards, so as to determine the individual and societal risk values: (1) The source constitutes a Level 1 or Level 2 major hazard source, and the sum of the ratios of the actual (on-site) quantities of toxic gases to their respective threshold quantities specified in the “Identification of Major Hazard Sources of Chemicals” is greater than or equal to 1 ； (II) Those that constitute a first-class major hazard source, and for which the sum of the ratio of the actual (online) amount of explosives or liquefied flammable gases to the critical value specified in the **Identification of Major Hazard Sources for Chemicals** is greater than or equal to 1. Article 10 The safety assessment report for major hazard sources shall be objective and fair, with accurate data, complete content, clear conclusions, and feasible measures, and shall include the following contents: (1) The main bases for the assessment ； (II) Basic information on major hazard sources ； (III) Probability of accident occurrence and degree of harm ； (IV) Individual risk and social risk values (applicable only to quantitative risk assessment methods) ； (5) Surrounding locations and personnel that may be affected by the accident ； (VI) Compliance analysis for the identification and classification of major hazard sources ； (VII) Safety management measures, safety technologies, and monitoring measures ； (8) Emergency measures for accidents ； (IX) Evaluation conclusions and recommendations. **Where a chemical entity uses a safety evaluation report in place of a safety assessment report, the content regarding major hazard sources in such safety evaluation report shall meet the requirements specified in the first paragraph of this article. Article 11 Under any of the following circumstances, **chemical enterprises shall re-identify, conduct a safety assessment, and classify the major hazard sources: (1) The safety assessment of the major hazard source has been completed three years ago ； (II) Construction, renovation, or expansion of devices, facilities, or sites that constitute major hazard sources ； (III) **Changes in the types and quantities of chemicals, production and usage processes, or storage methods, as well as in key equipment and facilities, that affect the level of the major hazard source or its risk level** ； (IV) Changes in external production safety environmental factors that affect the level of major hazard sources and the degree of risk ； (5) In cases where a chemical accident results in fatalities, or injuries to 10 or more people, or affects public safety ； (VI) Changes occur in the **standards and industry standards regarding the identification of major hazard sources and safety assessments.
