Security implications

The occurrence of the accident exposed prominent problems such as the lack of firm awareness of the enterprise's safety red line, chaotic on-site safety management, serious "three violations", inadequate risk identification, and incomplete hazard investigation.

Each production and operation unit should deeply learn from the lessons of accidents, based on its own production process characteristics, and in accordance with the requirements of the Safety Production Law of the People's Republic of China, establish and improve a comprehensive safety production responsibility system for all employees, sort out and improve safety production rules and regulations such as operating procedures and emergency response plans that are suitable for team positions, implement a dual prevention mechanism of safety risk grading control and hidden danger investigation and treatment, systematically, fully, and dynamically carry out safety risk identification and implement control measures, strengthen education and training for all employees, and improve the essential safety level of the enterprise.

Regarding the management of hazardous waste, it is necessary to standardize the construction of hazardous waste storage facilities in accordance with the requirements of the Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, the Technical Specification for the Setting of Hazardous Waste Identification Marks, and the Pollution Control Standards for Hazardous Waste Storage, comprehensively improve the level of standardized management of hazardous waste, and effectively control environmental risks of hazardous waste.
