By implementing the above measures, chemical industry companies can effectively reduce safety production risks, prevent various accidents, and ensure the safety of employees' lives and corporate property.

Chemical industry companies can ensure safe production by implementing comprehensive measures from multiple aspects. Here are some key measures and suggestions:

1. Establishing a Safety Management System
- Develop Comprehensive Safety Regulations: chemical industry companies must establish complete safety production regulations and operating procedures covering all aspects and positions of production. For example, AQ 3062-2025 "Safety Management Specification for Fine chemical industry companies" requires that operating procedures should include steps for dealing with abnormal conditions, and they should be reviewed and revised comprehensively every three years.
- Implement Safety Production Responsibility: Clearly define the safety responsibilities of managers at all levels and employees in their positions to form a safety management pattern where everyone participates and manages together.
- Enhance Safety Culture: Promote safety culture through activities such as safety education and publicity, setting up safety role models, and establishing safety incentive mechanisms.

2. Risk Assessment and Hidden Danger Investigation
- Risk Grading and Control: Conduct comprehensive risk investigation and assessment of production processes, equipment facilities, and working environments to determine risk levels and develop corresponding control measures.
- Hidden Danger Investigation and Rectification: Establish a hidden danger investigation and rectification system, combining daily investigation with regular special investigation. Hidden dangers identified should be rectified according to the "five fixed" principle (fixed rectification measures, responsible persons, funding sources, completion deadlines, and emergency plans).

3. Personnel Training and Management
- Safety Education and Training: Strengthen safety education and training for employees to improve their safety awareness and operational skills. New employees must undergo three-level safety education and training and pass the assessment before starting work. In-service employees should regularly receive retraining and assessment.
- Special Operations Management: Strictly manage special operations such as hot work, entering confined spaces, and working at heights. Implement a hot work permit system, and confirm safety measures before operations.

4. Equipment and Process Safety Management
- Equipment and Facilities Management: Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety requirements and are regularly inspected, maintained, and calibrated. For example, electrical equipment must comply with national electrical explosion-proof standards, and monitoring and measuring equipment should be registered and regularly calibrated.
- Process Safety Management: Optimize process design to reduce hazardous factors in the process. High-risk processes and major hazards must be equipped with independent Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) to achieve full-process automation.

5. Emergency Management
- Develop Emergency Response Plans: Develop comprehensive emergency response plans for production safety accidents, including general emergency plans, special emergency plans, and on-site response plans. Emergency plans should be tailored to the actual situation of the enterprise and be practical and operable.
- Regular Emergency Drills: Regularly organize emergency drills to test the effectiveness of emergency plans and the emergency response capabilities of employees. After drills, promptly assess and summarize the effectiveness, and rectify any issues identified.

6. On-site Safety Management
- Hazardous Chemicals Management: Strictly manage the storage, use, and transportation of hazardous chemicals according to relevant regulations. Set up dedicated storage areas, equip with corresponding safety facilities, and regularly inspect and maintain them.
- Work Environment Management: Install safety alarm systems and safety monitoring systems in fire-prone and toxic/hazardous workplaces, and regularly monitor the working environment for toxic gases.

7. Strengthen Supervision and Inspection
- Regular and Routine Inspections: Enterprises should conduct routine inspections, regular inspections, and temporary inspections to identify and eliminate safety hazards in a timely manner.
- Safety Investment Guarantee: Ensure the effective implementation of safety production investment, such as purchasing safety production liability insurance and paying work injury insurance for employees.

By implementing the above measures, chemical industry companies can effectively reduce safety production risks, prevent various accidents, and ensure the safety of employees' lives and corporate property.
