This marks the first time that a national unified specification has been introduced for the compilation of emergency response cards for work safety accidents in China, completely ending the industry pain points such as inconsistent compilation standards, vague content, insufficient targeting and poor on-site implementation of response cards across various industries and regions. It provides authoritative guidance for all production and business operation entities in the compilation, revision and implementation of emergency response cards.
Jiabao Safety deciphers the core requirements of the standard for you at the first time and extracts key compliance information that enterprises must know. You can quickly grasp the highlights of the new regulation without reading the full text. Let's take a look:
I. Core Basic Information Card of the Standard
II. Must-Know for Enterprises! Comprehensive Sorting of the Standard's Core Points
1. Three Core Compilation Principles to Eliminate "Empty Documents"
The standard clearly stipulates that the compilation of emergency response cards must adhere to three core principles, solving the problem of response cards being "unread and unusable" from the source:
Practicality Principle: The content shall be concise and clear, without lengthy and complicated descriptions, ensuring that on-the-job personnel can quickly understand and effectively apply it during training, drills and on-site emergency disposal.
Targeting Principle: Compile classified and graded cards according to specific accident types and post scenarios, focusing on clarifying the disposal steps and key points under specific accidents and potential risks to achieve "one post, one plan; one risk, one plan".
Adaptability Principle: The content must be fully consistent with the enterprise's emergency response plan and post operating procedures, and updated in a timely manner with the changes in laws, regulations, standards, equipment and risks. Customized versions can be made for special type of work posts according to the cultural level of users, and information-based means are supported for compilation and management.
2. Official Clarification of 2 Major Classifications to Achieve Full Post Coverage
The standard unifies the classification rules of emergency response cards for the first time, dividing them into two categories according to users, and requiring production and business operation entities to compile cards covering all posts by their functions:
Emergency Management Post Emergency Response Card
Applicable to personnel undertaking emergency management functions such as on-site command, coordination and evacuation in accidents. It mainly covers the commander-in-chief and deputy commanders of the emergency command center, as well as the team leaders/responsible persons of various emergency working groups including the comprehensive coordination group, emergency rescue group, material support group, medical treatment group, warning and evacuation group, and expert group.
Grassroots Operation Post Emergency Response Card
Applicable to frontline key post operators, focusing on specific accident scenarios of the post, clarifying the emergency disposal steps, key points and precautions that on-site personnel can implement quickly and accurately, such as special scenario response cards for gas pipeline leakage in workshops, welder posts in tank farms, and coal mine working face operations.
3. Mandatory Content List for the Two Types of Response Cards, Ensuring Accurate Compilation
The standard specifies the mandatory core content of the two types of emergency response cards, which enterprises must implement item by item during compilation to avoid missing items:
4. Six-Step Standardized Closed-Loop Process, Providing Rules for the Entire Compilation Process
The standard stipulates a complete closed-loop process for the compilation of emergency response cards, which enterprises must strictly follow to ensure the compliant implementation of the cards:
Set up a working group: With the relevant person in charge of the enterprise as the group leader, the person in charge of the safety department and grassroots technical personnel familiar with production processes, equipment and materials shall participate together to clarify the division of responsibilities.
Determine compilation content: Combine the enterprise's business scope and risk distribution, clarify the compilation scope and departmental division of labor, and formulate a special work plan and implementation plan.
Officially compile the cards: Based on the enterprise's emergency response plan and actual major risks, take into account the linkage risks in the surrounding areas, and complete the compilation and release of response cards in accordance with classification and content requirements.
Carry out special training: Conduct full-staff training through centralized education, independent learning, on-the-job tests and other forms to ensure that relevant personnel master the card content and operation steps proficiently.
Organize emergency drills: Conduct special deduction and drills of response cards regularly to verify their practicality and connection with the plan, and revise the content that is inconsistent with the actual situation in a timely manner.
Dynamic update and optimization: Establish a regular review and dynamic update mechanism, collect feedback on post use, and continuously optimize the card content to ensure it is always consistent with the actual situation.
5. Official Templates for Key Industries with Full Coverage, Providing References for Compilation
The appendix of the standard also provides official examples of special emergency response cards for multiple industries, covering 7 key industries including mining, hazardous chemicals, petroleum exploitation, oil and gas pipelines, tunnels, metallurgy and building materials. At the same time, it is equipped with templates for emergency response cards for 9 types of general industry accidents such as mechanical injury, electric shock, falling from height and confined space operation, which enterprises can directly refer to for compilation.
