Specific Q: Is it considered a major accident potential if a licensed hazardous chemical production enterprise continues production without establishing a safety production management organization or appointing full-time safety management personnel? According to the judgment criteria, is it only a major hazard if safety management personnel have not passed the legally required assessment? Or does it mean the enterprise does not meet safety production conditions and should have its license suspended? Or is it just a general violation? Thank you!
A: According to Article 12 of the "Measures for the Implementation of Work Safety Licenses of Hazardous Chemical Production Enterprises" (Issued by State Administration of Work Safety Order No. 41), "Enterprises shall establish a safety production management organization in accordance with the law and appoint full-time safety management personnel. The appointed full-time safety management personnel must be capable of meeting the needs of safety production." If a licensed enterprise fails to appoint full-time safety management personnel, according to the "Regulation on Work Safety Permits," the authority responsible for issuing work safety permits shall suspend or revoke the work safety permit if it finds that the enterprise does not meet work safety conditions.
