Accelerate the follow-up of supporting regulations for the new hazardous chemicals regulations

Recently, the State Administration of Work Safety convened a newly revised "Dangerous Chemicals Safety Management Regulations" video conference to publicize and make a full deployment of the new "Regulations". At present, the formulation of the "Regulations" supporting laws and regulations is also rapidly following up.

Sun Huashan, the deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety, said that the new “Regulations” provides a comprehensive system for comprehensively strengthening the safety supervision of hazardous chemicals. However, this is only a principled provision, and it is necessary to improve and perfect the administrative licensing and registration of hazardous chemicals based on these principles. And filing and other systems.

The Deputy Director of the Fujian Provincial Work Safety Supervision Bureau said that the new "Regulations" have been greatly adjusted in content. For example, the establishment of a unified mechanism for determining and adjusting dangerous chemical product catalogues, modifying the approval system for the establishment of hazardous chemical product production and storage enterprises as a safety condition review system for hazardous chemical production and storage construction projects, and strengthening the safety management of hazardous chemical product use The establishment of a permit system for the safe use of hazardous chemicals has improved the system and measures for the safety of hazardous chemicals. The contents of these adjustments need to be detailed by the relevant State Administration of Work Safety and other relevant departments to implement detailed implementation rules in order to better implement the implementation.

Zhao Xiaoguang, director of the Bureau of Commerce, Industry and Commerce of the State Council Legislative Affairs Office, believes that the new danger and punishment regulations have been promulgated, but there is still a long way to go before the establishment of systems for hazardous chemicals safety management. Whether the "Regulations" can take root and bear fruit in practice will depend to a large extent on whether the relevant supporting regulations can be issued in time.

Zhao Xiaoguang said that these supporting provisions are either the basis for the implementation of the entire "Regulations" or the precondition for the implementation of an important system in a certain aspect of the "Regulations". It can be said that they all directly determine the smooth implementation of the "Regulations". In addition, the State Administration of Work Safety also needs to formulate and improve a large number of national standards and industry standards, as well as procedural norms concerning examination and approval, licensing, supervision and inspection, and implementation of administrative penalties. The State Council has set the date for the implementation of the “Regulations” on December 1 this year, leaving a period of nine months in between. An important consideration is to allow more time for the formulation of supporting regulations.

The Director of Niu Kaijian, Director of Supervision and Administration of the State Administration of Work Safety, stated that the State Administration of Work Safety is in full swing to carry out the work of reforms of supporting laws and regulations. At present, a number of regulations, including the “Administrative Regulations for the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals Transportation Pipelines,” have been issued to all local governments for solicitation. The opinions will be issued and implemented soon after the supplements are completed. Other supporting documents are also under intense drafting. Once the conditions are ripe, they can be issued immediately to ensure the smooth implementation of the new “Regulations” on December 1 this year.
