The Zhejiang Provincial Government’s 24 departments and units organized the Joint Conference on the Supervision of Dangerous Chemical Production in Zhejiang Province held in Hangzhou last week. The reporter learned from the meeting that although the chemical industry of the province has made great progress in industrial scale, industrial structure, industrial organization, regional arrangement and equipment level in recent years, with the rapid economic development and accelerated urbanization, the Chemical safety supervision work is facing new challenges.
First, the development plan of the industry lags behind urban development. Some members pointed out at the joint meeting that in recent years, the government’s management of the chemical industry has weakened. The overall development and guidance of the industry is lacking. When formulating urban development plans, all localities obviously do not pay much attention to the industry’s normative standards, which can easily lead to public safety. Threatened.
Due to lack of guidance and constraints of overall planning, the problem of insufficient compatibility of chemical projects in some areas with the surrounding environment is even more pronounced. Some urban construction projects do not comply with national regulatory standards and build new projects near hazardous chemical units during planning approval. Once a dangerous chemical accident (a major explosion, fire, or leakage, etc.) occurs, it will seriously threaten the surrounding people. Health and safety may even cause public events and affect social stability.
To this end, Zhejiang State Safety Supervision Bureau called for: Local governments should pay close attention to this and accelerate the formulation and implementation of the safety development plan for the chemical industry. It is necessary to formulate and implement a safety development plan for the chemical industry, delineate the regional scope of the chemical industry park or industrial concentration area, and optimize the industrial layout so as to ensure public safety. For those hazardous chemical business units that do not meet the planning requirements and have insufficient safety protection distances, they must move or shut down in a timely manner and must not be lenient.
Second, the joint mechanism for the safety supervision of dangerous chemicals is not yet sound. The joint mechanism for the safety supervision of hazardous chemicals needs to be further improved. It is necessary to strengthen the communication of information among multiple departments and improve the ability to operate in coordination. This has become the consensus of all parties in the joint conference.
As the safety supervision of hazardous chemicals involves six links, such as production, operation, use, storage, transportation and waste disposal, each link involves the supervision of multiple departments, and the information between the departments is asymmetric and there is a lack of communication and coordination. This has seriously affected the efficiency of the government in strengthening the safety supervision of hazardous chemicals. The current outstanding problems are reflected in the joint approval of hazardous chemical construction projects, the safety and security of environmental protection projects (facilities), the supervision of road transport, the supervision of the use of highly toxic chemicals, and the disposal of discarded dangerous goods.
The meeting emphasized that we must give full play to the role of the joint conference platform, strengthen the communication of information and work reports among the member units, and form a working mechanism that supports mutual cooperation and division of responsibilities. Each member unit shall actively study issues concerning the safety production of hazardous chemicals, promptly propose issues and work proposals, and make use of the platform of the joint conference to timely handle cross-sectoral issues in the safety supervision of hazardous chemicals.
Third, it is difficult to investigate inter-provincial chemicals with high toxic chemicals. The Public Security Department of Zhejiang Province spoke at the meeting. In recent years, the public security system has actively participated in and coordinated with related departments to continue to carry out public security supervision work with the loss of highly toxic chemicals as the core of supervision, and achieved remarkable results. However, there are still some difficulties and blind spots in the security management of hazardous chemicals. The most prominent one is that there are still large loopholes in the source control of highly toxic chemicals.
According to reports, in 2010, Shaoxing police had uncovered a case of illegal purchase and sales of highly toxic chemicals. Due to reports received from the people, the police conducted a surprise inspection of Shaoxing Nanyang Hardware Co., Ltd. and seized 8 kilograms of sodium cyanide purchased by the workshop contractor Wang without warrants. Wang confessed that he previously purchased 8 tons of sodium cyanide for production and resale without a license from Ningbo Ni Mou and Huangshan, Anhui Province. Later, the Shaoxing police conducted investigations with the police in Ningbo and Anhui, dug out an illegal purchase and sale of sodium cyanide gangs involving more than ten people, and seized one underground clandestine sodium cyanide warehouse and seized 38.5 tons of sodium cyanide on the site of Huangshan, Anhui. The shipments were all purchased from Anhui Anqing Shuguang Group without a license.
Representatives of Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Bureau pointed out at the meeting that the loopholes in the supervision of the source of highly toxic chemicals mainly existed in cross-provincial unlicensed supply. From daily inspections, it has been found that the production and operation of enterprises outside the province have occasions of unlicensed use of units supplied by the province. It takes a lot of effort to investigate such inter-provincial cases, but the police are concerned with the outflow of highly toxic chemicals. The ultimate accountability of units and personnel is difficult to grasp. To solve this problem, we must break geographical restrictions, strengthen cooperation among police forces, and catch up with the insecurity of production, supply and sales.
