Introduction
Petrochemical industry is a high risk industry; all countries, corporations, international or geographical organizations are actively summarizing and searching the safety modes and methods for corporation management. In recent years, as the increasing of foreign sole-venture and joint-venture projects, the management modes and practices of international corporations with outstanding achievements in safety and environmental protection had been known, used for reference, and introduced gradually by domestic corporations, which build-up good management experiences and a set of effective management mode in the process of production and operation. On the basis of reference from safety management mode and management method of technological process in the production process of foreign petrochemical corporations, and in conjunction with the actual conditions in China, this guidelines for process safety management of chemical corporations was formed with a view to provide thoughts and frames for the essential safety management of chemical corporations.
This Standard was prepared on the basis of successful practices of corporations and with high workability. For the convenience of corporation's application, "Application Examples for Guidelines for Process Safety Management of Chemical Corporations" is served as informative appendix of this Standard, and favorable to use for reference of corporations in practice.
This Standard is the standard in conjunction with AQ/T 3012-2008 "Guideline of Safety Management System Implementation for Petrochemical Corporation". Corporations may use this Standard to strengthen the process safety management of management system and enhancement of overall safety performance.
