The Ministry of Emergency Management issued the "Criteria for Judgment of Major Accident Hazards in Industrial and Trade Enterprises" (implemented from May 15, 2023), which is applicable to the identification of industrial and trade enterprises in metallurgy, nonferrous metals, building materials, machinery, light industry, textiles, tobacco, and commerce. Major accident hazard. The newly revised Safety Production Law puts forward clear requirements for establishing and improving the supervision system for the management of major accident hazards and supervising production and business units to eliminate major accident hazards.
1. Judgment criteria
Industrial and trade enterprises under any of the following circumstances shall be judged as major accident hazards:
(1) Failing to coordinate and manage the production safety work of contractors and lessees in a unified manner, or fail to conduct regular safety inspections;
(2) Special operation personnel who have not received special safety operation training and obtained corresponding qualifications in accordance with the regulations, and started to work;
(3) The main person in charge and safety production management personnel of the metal smelting enterprise have not passed the assessment in accordance with the regulations.
Industrial and trade enterprises operating in limited spaces with risks of hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc., should be judged as major accident hazards if they have one of the following circumstances:
(1) Failure to identify the limited space, establish a safety management ledger, and fail to set up obvious safety warning signs;

The new version of the judgment standard highlights the major hidden dangers that are prone to mass death and injury. The metallurgical and non-ferrous industries focus on high-temperature molten metals and toxic and harmful gases; the building materials industry focuses on accident-prone warehouse cleaning operations, flammable and toxic gases; The light industry focuses on high-risk equipment, facilities and operations in food manufacturing, liquor production, papermaking and other industries; the textile industry focuses on the establishment of personnel places near high-risk equipment and facilities, and the mixed storage of taboo materials; the tobacco industry focuses on Major risk links such as fumigation workplaces, tobacco production, poisoning and suffocation.
2. HSE-IOT monitoring platform system
The "Criteria for Judgment of Major Accident Hazards in Industrial and Trade Enterprises" will be released soon. How to promote its implementation? Enterprises should arrange responsible persons to investigate and monitor major accident hazards. Mantu HSE-IOT monitoring platform system is based on the HSE system, using informatization as the means, and relying on IoT technology, to carry out informatization and scientific management of the factory environment, safety and health in a reasonable and standardized manner. Manage the discharge of industrial "three wastes"; effectively monitor the environment in the factory, monitor the leakage of explosive and dangerous chemicals; manage electricity safety, etc. Effectively solve the environmental, health and safety problems in the industrial production process, help enterprises to truly implement the EHS management idea, and improve the enterprise's EHS management level.
