The Department of Emergency Management answered a reporter's question on the Specially Controlled Hazardous Chemicals Catalog (first edition)

recently, the Ministry of Emergency Management, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport, jointly formulated and promulgated the Special Control Hazardous Chemicals Catalog (the first edition) (hereinafter referred to as the "Catalog")The head of the relevant department of the Department of Emergency Management answered questions from reporters on the relevant issuesask: Why make the Directory?In order to deeply learn the lessons of the "8-12" special major fire explosion and other accidents in Tianjin Port, in 2016 the General Office of the State Council issued the Comprehensive Management Plan for the Safety of Hazardous Chemicals, proposing to strengthen the production, storage, use, operation, transportation and disposal of high-risk chemicals such as ammonium nitrate, cotton nitrate, sodium cyanide and other control, effectively prevent and contain major accidents of hazardous chemicalsThe starting point for the formulation of the Directory is to screen out chemicals with inherently high risks, high safety risks of accidents, serious consequences of accidents and high circulation, especially those with heavy accidents, which have caused special attention from the community and the public, put forward control requirements, and guide all regions, departments and units to formulate targeted control measures: How are specially controlled hazardous chemicals determined?The first batch identified a total of 20 specially controlled hazardous chemicals, including 4 explosive chemicals, 6 toxic chemicals, 5 types of flammable gases, 5 types of flammable liquidsthrough the research and analysis of hazardous chemical accidents at home and abroad, flammable, toxic and explosive is the most important dangerous characteristic seisicity of serious accidentsTherefore, the identification of explosive chemicals (including strong oxidants), toxic chemicals, flammable gases and liquids is a hazardous chemical category that requires special controlIn determining the specific list, taking into account the inherent hazards of chemicals, domestic and foreign hazardous chemicals serious accidents and consequences, domestic production use, the current domestic key management situation and other factors, through the inclusion in the Hazardous Chemicals List of hazardous chemicals screening and comprehensive assessment to determine the final listtake vinyl chloride as an example, from a number of aspects of comprehensive consideration to determine the inclusion in the "catalog": First, the chemical is a very flammable gas, density greater than air, once the leakage will spread along the ground, and in low-lying areas, very easy to cause combustion explosion caused heavy casualties, is an inherently dangerous hazardous chemicals; Such as the 1989 Liaoning Benxi Grass Estuary Chemical Plant "8.29" major explosion accident, 2018 Hebei Shenghua Chemical Co., Ltd"11.28" major explosion accident;: What is the relationship between this Directory and the Hazardous Chemicals Catalog, the List of Hazardous Chemicals focused on Regulatory (2013 Full Edition)According to the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals (State Council Decree No591), the Hazardous Chemicals Catalog was promulgated in 2015 by the former General Administration of Safety Supervision in conjunction with the State Council's Department of Industry and Information Technology, Public Security, Environmental Protection, Health, Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Transportation, Railways, Civil Aviation and Agriculture, and is the basis for the safety management of Hazardous Chemicals in ChinaThe Specially Controlled Hazardous Chemicals Directory (First Edition) and the List of Hazardous Chemicals at Key Regulatory (2013 Full Edition) are further focused on risk and are refined on the basis of the Hazardous Chemicals Catalogthe difference between thethe Specially Controlled Hazardous Chemicals Directory (First Edition) and the List of Hazardous Chemicals for Priority Regulation (2013 Full Edition) is that the SpecialLy Controlled Hazardous Chemicals Directory (First Edition) takes into account the risks of hazardous chemicals in all sectors and requires widespread concern;ask: What are the special control measures, what problemsto solve? There are five main control measures for the control of hazardous chemicals, covering all stages of the process management of specially controlled hazardous chemicalsFirst, the construction of information platform, the implementation of the full life cycle of information traceability controlIn order to deeply absorb the "8-12" special major fire explosion accident in Tianjin Port in the rescue process exposed information between departments are not interconnected, information can not be shared, can not grasp the real-time situation of hazardous chemicals, it is difficult to achieve the risk chemicals full-time, full-process, full coverage of the lessons of safety supervision, research through the use of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and other modern information technology means to open the "gap" between departments, to achieve the whole process of control of dangerous chemicals tracking, information monitoring and traceabilitySecond, the study of standardized packaging managementThe irregular packaging of hazardous chemicals is an important cause of hazardous chemical accidents, in 2019, many of the accidents involving methyl sulfate accidents are related to the problem of irregular packaging, and the current supervision of the road transport hazardous chemicalpackaging still has shortcomingsThere is a need to strengthen coordination among departments through research and to promote the implementation of packaging performance inspections and packaging use appraisals of hazardous goods involving special lying hazardous chemicalsThird, strict security accessDo a good job at the source of control work, strict access conditions, new enterprises must comply with industrial layout planning, must comply with safe production laws and regulations and standards, in order to ensure the safe development of enterprises, high-quality developmentFourth, strengthen transport managementIn order to learn the lessons of major traffic hazardous chemical explosion accidents and other major traffic accidents in the Puyang section of the Shanghai-Kun Expressway in Hunan Province, we will strengthen the online monitoring and early warning of road transport vehicles, and speed up the implementation of the management of electronic bills for the transport of dangerous goods on the roadFifth, the implementation of storage fixed-position managementThrough rational planning, optimizing management models, promoting the refinement of storage management, implementing fixed-order management, to ensure that regulators can accurately control the storage location and storage of specially controlled hazardous chemicals, and achieve accurate supervision and accurate rescue in the event state: What are the requirements of the Directory for enterprises to implement their main responsibilities and strengthen the safety management of hazardous chemicals
Relevant enterprises should strengthen the safety management of related hazardous chemicals from the following aspects: First, enterprises should be in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, standards and norms, from the source, strengthen the construction projects involved in special control of hazardous chemicals safety design management, construction units and safety design, construction, supervision units should meet the safety and smooth operation of the device as the goal of safety design, accept the supervision of the relevant administrative departments, and strive to eliminate potential accidents in the engineering design, and the quality and safety of construction projects Second, strengthen the packaging management of related hazardous chemicals, in strict accordance with the standard synodle of packaging categories to select the correct, qualified packaging materials Third, strengthen the handling and unloading management of related hazardous chemicals, and do a good job in the inspection and record of shipment Fourth, strengthen the management of related hazardous chemicals transport vehicles, as well as on-line monitoring and early warning, to ensure that the vehicle in good condition, vehicle shipping in compliance Fifth, strengthen the storage management of related hazardous chemicals, fixed-point storage, reasonable control of inventory and turnover : What are the special provisions on the scope of application in the Directory ? The Catalogue provides for the scope of application of some chemicals First, the special provisions on urban gas, because the basis of urban gas safety management is the "town gas management regulations", and other dangerous chemicals management mode is different, so the provisions into the "town gas management regulations" under the scope of the management of the gas does not apply to the Directory and special control measures Second, the special provisions on hazardous chemicals for defence, due to the limitations of the use of hazardous chemicals in the military and the need for confidentiality, and not within the jurisdiction of the Regulations on the Safety of Hazardous Chemicals, therefore, the special control hazardous chemicals produced, stored and used by national defense scientific research units shall not apply to the Directory and special control measures Third, the special provisions on methanol, ethanol, because methanol, ethanol belongs to the bulk chemical products, the use is very widely covered, and the current main risk point is the transport link, so in order to reduce the impact on society, the regulation of methanol, ethanol control measures limited to strengthen transport management Fourth, the special provisions of ammonium nitrate, because ammonium nitrate as a civilian explosive selling, purchase process management is different from other dangerous chemicals, and there are special management regulations, so in order to avoid conflict with the current special management methods, the provisions of ammonium nitrate sales, purchase approval and management links in accordance with the relevant provisions of civil explosives management Fifth, the special provisions on reagents, in order to encourage scientific research, reduce the impact on relevant institutions and scientific research institutions, so the provisions of scientific experiments must be the reagent products temporarily not in the directory management, but the relevant units can be based on the actual situation of scientific research and the existence of security risks, take measures to strengthen management to ensure safety
