How to ensure the safety of chemical products?

The core of chemical product safety lies in “full chain control+technical protection+personnel literacy”. Through closed-loop management of the entire process from production, storage, transportation to use, combined with intelligent monitoring and strict regulations, major risks such as leakage, fire, and poisoning can be effectively prevented.
1、 Production process: source control, eliminate hidden dangers
Compliance Design and Construction
Chemical projects must undergo safety condition review and safety facility design review in accordance with the law. It is strictly prohibited to build, renovate or expand projects in non chemical industrial parks to ensure that the site selection and layout comply with national standards.
Automated Control and Emergency Parking System
Devices involving “two key points and one major” (key regulated hazardous chemical processes, key regulated hazardous chemicals, and major hazard sources) must achieve automated control and be equipped with emergency shutdown functions to prevent accidents caused by human operational errors.
Intelligent production scheduling and risk warning
Using AI big models to optimize production plans, such as the intelligent scheduling system launched by Hebei Xinhai Chemical, not only improves economic efficiency, but also quickly responds to market changes and reduces safety risks caused by improper scheduling.
2、 Storage management: classified and partitioned to prevent leakage
Scientific Site Selection and Environmental Control
The storage location should be far away from fire sources and high-temperature areas, with good ventilation conditions to avoid moisture and pollution. Flammable, explosive, and toxic chemicals must be stored in dedicated warehouses.
Classified storage and physical isolation
Strictly partition according to the properties of chemicals, and separate materials with similar appearances by two or more storage locations to prevent mixing and storage; Implement the “five spacing” requirements (wall spacing, column spacing, top spacing, lamp spacing, stack spacing) to ensure safe spacing.
Validity management and first in, first out
Establish a material expiration warning mechanism, initiate allocation three months before expiration, prioritize the use of expired products, and avoid risks caused by expired and deteriorated materials.
3、 Transportation process: Special vehicle transportation, full monitoring throughout the process
Compliance transportation qualification
Dangerous chemical transportation enterprises need to obtain permission from the transportation authority, and drivers and escorts must hold certificates to work.
Explosion proof and leakage protection measures
Use universal pipeline filling system to avoid leakage during the filling of liquefied hydrocarbons, liquid ammonia and other media.
Transport vehicles should be equipped with combustible and toxic gas detection and alarm systems, as well as video surveillance, to record the entire process of special grade hot work and confined space operations.
Explosion risk prevention and control
Control the ratio of oxygen to fuel to avoid the formation of explosive mixtures; Use explosion-proof equipment that meets ATEX standards in hazardous areas.

4、 Usage: Standardize processes and strengthen protection
Preparation before operation
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to understand its toxicity, explosiveness, and emergency measures.
Check the equipment status (pumps, valves, pressure gauges) and container sealing to ensure there is no risk of leakage.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Corrosion resistant gloves, protective goggles, gas masks, splash proof clothing, etc. must be worn to avoid skin contact or inhalation of harmful gases.
Smoking and eating are strictly prohibited
Smoking and eating are not allowed during the operation process to prevent burning or accidental poisoning.
5、 Emergency management: Plan first, scientific rescue
Develop emergency plans
Develop specialized plans for scenarios such as fires, explosions, and leaks, regularly organize drills, and enhance employees’ emergency response capabilities.
The alarm and interlocking system is functioning normally
The safety valve, bursting disc, and combustible gas alarm system must always be in working condition and must not be stopped without authorization.
Scientific disposal of accidents
When a dangerous situation occurs, emergency response should be immediately activated to avoid blind rescue and secondary injuries. The main person in charge of the enterprise must have corresponding safety management capabilities.
