Safety standardization is a powerful starting point for safety supervision departments to do basic work well. Promoting standardization can enable enterprises to further standardize safety management, run safety standards through all aspects of enterprise management, and strengthen risk management awareness, so as to continuously improve the intrinsic safety production level of enterprises and establish a long-term mechanism for safety production. The State Administration of Work Safety attaches great importance to this, and has prepared to issue the General Specification for Safety Standardization of Hazardous Chemicals Business Units as the industry compulsory enforcement standard (probably in the second half of the year), which is imperative. At present, the work progress in our province is still slow. The total number of enterprises declared by the province and passed the safety standardization assessment is only 15, accounting for less than 3% of the total number of enterprises in the province. This progress is far from meeting the work requirements of the General Administration and the Provincial Bureau. The provincial bureau regards safety standardization as an important condition for the second round of certification and further strengthens its work. The general idea is: positive attitude, orderly work, highlighting key points and achieving obvious results. Specifically, to achieve "four combinations":
First of all, promoting standardization should be combined with safety licensing. Safety standardization is a powerful guarantee for enterprises' safety production and an important basis for safety supervision departments to implement licensing. The provincial bureau has regarded safety standardization as an important condition for the second round of certification, and given preferential policies to enterprises that have passed the safety standardization assessment without safety evaluation under the condition that the safety production conditions are guaranteed. For enterprises with basic conditions, we should focus on administrative licensing and vigorously promote the implementation of safety standardization; For enterprises that are not qualified for the time being, enterprises must make a written commitment to implement safety standardization and complete safety standardization before the next certification.
Second, the promotion of standardization should be combined with the transformation and upgrading of enterprise safety facilities and management level. In a sense, the implementation of safety standardization is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of enterprise safety production from hardware to software. With the guidance and help of consulting institutions and evaluation departments, enterprises objectively, comprehensively and systematically analyze and check their own safety production work, and find out the problems and deficiencies in safety production. At the same time, by making plans and implementing rectification, the level of safety production management is improved from the aspects of formulation and implementation of rules and regulations; Through increasing safety investment, carrying out safety technical transformation, improving the level of safety production facilities and equipment, and improving the intrinsic safety level of enterprises. Through the in-depth development of safety standardization work, we will further consolidate the foundation of safety production in the chemical industry in our province and push the safety production level of the chemical industry in our province to a new level.
Third, promoting standardization should be combined with safety review. For newly-built chemical enterprises, it is necessary to implement "new enterprises and new methods", that is, strict standards and careful examination. It is absolutely impossible for the safety supervision department to carry out a "three-step" safety review (project review, design review and completion acceptance) on the construction project, leaving some inherent hidden dangers in production safety. Of course, this refers to hardware aspects such as safety production facilities and equipment, as well as software aspects such as safety production management, which must also be operated in accordance with standardized requirements. In principle, a newly-built enterprise shall pass the safety standardization assessment and obtain a certificate of conformity within one year after the completion and acceptance of safety facilities. At present, chemical construction projects in our province are increasing year by year. We should strictly control the source, not only from the safety production conditions, but also from the safety production management and safety standardization.
Fourth, promoting standardization should be combined with the work of cleaning up and rectifying enterprises with weak safety production conditions. In the process of promoting safety standardization, relevant assessment agencies and appraisal agencies must be familiar with the specific contents of standardization, adhere to the principle of objectivity and fairness, point out problems realistically, guide enterprises to formulate plans and implement rectification. For some enterprises that are congenitally short of safe production conditions due to historical reasons, it is necessary to urge them to carry out technological transformation or change production or relocate in accordance with the requirements of safety standardization; For some small enterprises with small scale, backward technology and poor efficiency, the content of safety standardization should be used to guide them to implement rectification. If the rectification is not implemented or there is no hope for rectification, we must resolutely urge and urge the local government to stop production or close down according to law, and fundamentally improve the safety production level of the chemical industry in our province.
