“…In addition, relevant government agencies should strictly perform their own responsibilities and adequately equip professional and technical personnel to strengthen the safety inspection for high‐risk industries, such as the process industry and logistics industry. In particular, they should urge enterprises to improve the safety input and process safety management in hazardous chemical production, storage, and transportation and strengthen hazard identification and risk assessment for chemical industrial parks and ports where there are major hazardous installations or substances.…”

On March 21, 2019, a serious explosion of hazardous chemicals occurred in Tianjiayi Company located in Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, China. Seventy‐eight people were killed and 716 were injured. It is the most severe accident since the globally recognized fire and explosion at a hazardous chemical warehouse in Tianjin Port, Tianjin, China in 2015. According to the preliminary analysis of the Yancheng accident and the review of previous studies about the Tianjin Port accident, there are similarities regarding the process of the two accidents. Therefore, in addition to reporting the investigation results of the Yancheng accident, an important aim of this work is to focus on the brief comparative analysis between it and the Tianjin Port accident. The comparisons were mainly conducted according to the basic information of the events, triggers and processes, individual factors, organizational management factors, external regulatory factors, and then the differences and similarities between the two accidents are summarized. Thus, useful lessons in the aspects of the storage and management of hazardous chemicals, safety training and accident learning, implementation of safety management system, government supervision, and so on, can be drawn to avoid similar mistakes within the industry.

“…Some serious incidents have happened worldwide, for example, in 2019, a serious incident happened in Yima, Henan, China. 7 A cold box in an ASU plant collapsed and hit a nearby liquid oxygen (LOX) tank of about 500 cubic meters volume. There was a large spill of LOX, and a subsequently, fire and explosion occurred.…”

For facilities where hazardous events of high consequences can happen, quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is used to determine whether the risk is tolerable against the risk criteria of the operating company or local regulations. Specific risk reduction measures may need to be defined and evaluated based on the QRA. A risk analysis considering both consequences and frequencies is typically time‐consuming and requires the collection of sufficient information regarding process, equipment, operation methods, weather, geographic conditions, the population, and so forth. Business management often requires prompt decisions in a fast‐paced business environment; therefore, the risk analysis must be done expediently to provide adequate information for business decisions. Some examples related to industrial gas facilities are summarized to show simplified analyses done to help define risk reduction measures and priorities in a shorter time frame than typically possible by using detailed quantitative risk assessment. Some generic methods for simplification are proposed.

China’s chemical manufacturing sector has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, making it a global leader in chemical production. However, this rapid expansion has led to an increase in chemical accidents, particularly major chemical accidents (MCAs), resulting in significant casualties and property loss. This study focuses on MCAs that occurred in China between 2017 and 2022, using mathematical statistics. It examines various aspects of accidents, including the annual number of accidents and casualties, distribution across months, types of accidents, accident stages, direct causes of accidents, and geographical distribution of accidents. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential of using novel digital tools to enhance the safety of chemical production. By analysing the data and identifying trends, this study aims to contribute to the prevention of large-scale chemical disasters. Furthermore, it explores the implementation of smart management of chemical plants, utilising the Internet of Things (IoT) for example, to ensure the sustainable advancement of the chemical industry.
