3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Production Process
The entire process from the entry of the object of labor into the production sphere to the finished product.
Note: In this document, production processes include operations, construction processes, etc.
3.2 Production Materials
3.3 Remaining Materials
A general term for leftover materials from production processes and scrap products and waste materials generated during production processes.
Note: Includes gaseous, liquid, and solid substances.
3.4 Production Facilities
A general term for equipment, pipelines, valves, instruments, control systems, etc., used to accomplish specific production processes.
3.5 Hazardous and Harmful Factors
Elements that can affect human health, cause personal injury, or damage to objects.
4 General Requirements for Safety in Production Processes
4.1 Objectives and Risk Management
4.1.1 Enterprises shall establish production safety objectives and implement dynamic management.
4.1.2 In planning, designing, organizing, and implementing production, enterprises shall conduct hazard identification and risk assessment, and implement risk control.
4.2 Requirements for Site Selection and Layout
4.2.1 Site selection shall comply with the provisions of GB 50187.
4.2.2 The general layout shall be planned according to production characteristics and meteorological conditions.
4.2.3 Buildings (or structures), production facilities, utility systems, and auxiliary facilities shall be arranged in zones based on production characteristics and fire hazard categories.
The layout shall meet production safety conditions such as fire prevention, explosion protection, and poisoning prevention.
4.2.4 Production equipment and facilities shall be arranged according to the principle of combining the order of process flow with the relative concentration of similar equipment and facilities.
4.2.5 The arrangement of production equipment, facilities, pipelines, cables, and materials shall facilitate operation, use, and maintenance.
4.2.6 The distances between production equipment, between pipelines, and between production equipment/pipelines and buildings (or structures) shall meet safety requirements.
4.2.7 Plant (site) entrances/exits, transportation roads, and pedestrian walkways shall be determined based on logistics and personnel flow conditions and shall comply with the provisions of GB 50187.
4.2.8 Fire stations and gas protection stations shall be located in places convenient for rapid response and ensuring safety.
4.2.9 The design of fire lanes, fire pump houses, fire water supply networks, and other fire protection facilities shall comply with the provisions of GB 55036 and GB 55037.
4.2.10 The locations of dry docks and wharves shall meet operational safety requirements considering changes in water conditions and weather.
4.3 Requirements for Buildings (or Structures)
4.3.1 The fire resistance rating, fire compartmentalization, explosion protection, seismic fortification, and other design aspects of production buildings, warehouses, and other structures shall comply with the provisions of GB 50016 and GB 50223.
4.3.2 The design of production buildings, warehouses, and other structures shall consider various loads. Load combinations and designs shall be performed separately for the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state, meeting production safety conditions such as explosion resistance, wind resistance, and rain/snow protection.
4.3.3 Corresponding safety prevention measures shall be taken when buildings (or structures) are affected by hazardous and harmful factors such as vibration, high temperature, low temperature, or corrosion.
4.3.4 Separate ventilation systems shall be established for different fire compartments of buildings with Class A or B fire hazards.
4.3.5 Building ventilation shall ensure that the concentration of hazardous and harmful substances in the ambient air of workplaces meets safety requirements.
Note: Harmful substances refer to all substances—chemical, physical, biological, etc.—that can harm personnel health.
