“…It is difficult for chemical companies to access regulations that they really need. Many facilities of chemical industry may use similar technology but may be under different jurisdictions of regulatory and standards authorities . Sometimes employees do not realize that a rule has been broken, as no one has told them of the existence of this rule.…”

In recent years, the chemical companies in different countries have realized the significance of managing within safety regulations and rules. In China, investigation reports of major accidents showed that Chinese chemical companies often failed to comply with regulations before the accident. In fact, a majority of chemical companies are simultaneously regulated by different regulatory agencies. They must comply with an excess of safety regulations and standards promulgated by various regulatory agencies. A huge compliance burden for chemical companies is the result. To solve this problem, this article proposes a new classification method combining administrative ranks and scopes of chemical safety activities. This new classification helps chemical companies to identify and understand external regulations faster and more easily. A chemical industry park in Dalian was taken as an example to collect materials. It was found that there were 658 regulations and standards covering safety, environment and health. In addition, this article establishes a procedural framework for rules management that guides users of rules, which demonstrates the process of compliance management. It helps companies deal with situations where external regulations are absent or unreasonable. This article also suggests that regulators establish good communication with companies and increase the discretionary power of companies to promote the implementation of this framework.

“…There were more than 900 safety control regulations or national standards to address chemical safety problems in 2010 [28,29]. It may therefore sometimes be difficult for managers of chemical plants to identify the regulations that they really need [30,31]. Furthermore, CIPs may be important targets for terrorists, with possible external domino effects and devastation via cross-border consequences [32][33][34].…”

A Systematic Literature Review on Safety Research Related to Chemical Industrial Parks

The increasing demand for chemical products has driven the construction and development of chemical industrial areas, or so-called ‘chemical industrial parks’ (CIPs), but this has intrinsically raised the risk of major accidents. Therefore, it is significant and urgent to summarize the state of art and research needs in the field of CIP safety. In this paper, a keyword co-occurrence analysis of 116 scientific articles was conducted to support the classification of research topics in this field, then an overview of those research topics was presented to investigate the evolution of safety research with respect to CIPs. Specifically, the way that safety assessments are conducted, as well as how safety management and safety technology in such areas are classified and investigated, followed by detailed descriptions of representative methods and their contributions to CIP safety, are discussed. An integrated safety framework for CIPs is proposed to organize safety approaches and measures systematically. Based on the classification and analysis of studies on management, assessment, and technology related to CIP safety, the research trends and future directions and challenges are discussed and outlined. Those results are useful for improving theoretical method and industrial strategies, and can advance the safety and sustainability development of CIPs.

“…Building regulatory system comprises procedural regulations and technical requirements that determine the building permit procedures and the degree and the strength of building control (Meijer and Visscher 2014); well-written procedures are an integral part of any industrial organization for managing risks, constant improvement and safe operation (Peres et al 2016). Therefore, a well-organized building regulation system is crucially important (Pedro et al 2009).…”

Abstract Development and certification of buildings for health and safety of building users necessitated the building control and regulations agencies in Nigeria, and the protection of the built-up regions from human injuries is man’s major obligation. The article aims to determine and assess the level of practice of building control and regulations in the country with a view to advance their practice. A questionnaire instrument was used, and 35 building control performance indicators were recognized, and categorised into four groups and assessed. A total of 117 questionnaires were distributed to survey participants. Statistical tools of mean, chi-square, Kendall’s coefficient of concordance and Kruskal–Wallis test by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences v.23 were used. The result obtained revealed that the level of practice of the four groups of building control performance indicators is average. On the basis of the survey findings, the top most five building control performance indicators as considered by the participants are as follows: zero tolerance to illegal development and building collapse, enforcement of building control regulations, processing and scrutinizing of building plans for approval, cooperation among staff members and public enlightenment on building control and regulations. The degree of agreement between the participants concerning the performance indicators that influence building control and regulations practice in Nigeria was established. The result obtained revealed that there is a statistically significant degree of agreement among the three different classes of project managers regarding their responses. The study also revealed the drawback in the implementation and enforcement of building control and regulations in the country. Recommendations were also made to improve the practice.
