Declaration of industrial safety. Development and examination of the declaration of industrial safety of a hazardous facility

Among the existing organizational and economic mechanisms for reducing the risks of man-made emergencies, declaring the safety of industrial facilities is of particular importance. This procedure is fixed at the legislative level in many countries. Let's take a look at what a declaration is. industrial safety OPO.

General information

To ensure the accounting of the state of enterprises, a register of industrial safety declarations has been introduced. State regulation is aimed at obliging subjects to assess existing threats and inform the competent authorities about them. The industrial safety declaration includes:

  1. Information about the enterprise and the processes taking place on it. This is necessary to determine the extent and nature of the use of harmful and hazardous substances.
  2. List of measures aimed at ensuring normal conditions for the operation of the enterprise and control of deviations from the usual regime.
  3. Identification of the type of probable accident, assessment of its occurrence and possible consequences.
  4. Disaster instructions.

Normative base

IN Russian Federation a large-scale organizational and economic program in the field of industrial safety is being implemented. Normatively, its implementation is regulated by the relevant Federal Law. In particular, the basics of regulation are laid down in the Law "On Industrial Safety of HIFs" and "On the Safety of Hydraulic Structures". The specific procedure for assessing the state of an enterprise is established in the Regulation approved by government decree No. 675 of July 1, 1995.

Relevance of the issue

Declaration is carried out to regulate safety control at industrial facilities. Competent authorities check the sufficiency and effectiveness of measures aimed at preventing and eliminating disasters at enterprises. The development of an industrial safety declaration is necessary to reduce threats to the population, employees, and prevent accidents. It is especially relevant for enterprises whose activities are directly related to harmful substances and processes. Examination of the declaration of industrial safety contributes to the implementation of an effective system for predicting disasters and accident-free operation. The events acquire special significance in connection with the transition to new economic conditions, changes in forms of ownership, and a decrease in state regulation in a market economy.

Specificity

The declaration acts as an expression of a responsible attitude to ensuring safety at industrial facilities. It is documented as an official document. The list of objects that are subject to declaration is established by the Federal Service for Atomic, Technological and Environmental Supervision together with the Ministry of Emergency Situations. This list includes hydraulic structures, enterprises, drives, storages, where there is a possibility of accidents. The Federal Law regulating industrial safety at hazardous facilities defines the maximum allowable amounts of substances, the presence of which acts as a basis for drawing up a declaration. Information, the procedure for issuing a document are established by a specially authorized executive body.

Declaration of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities

The document contains the results:

  1. A comprehensive and objective assessment of the probability of an accident and the threat associated with it for personnel and citizens located in the adjacent territory.
  2. Analysis of the sufficiency of the measures taken to prevent emergencies and ensure the readiness of the enterprise for operation dangerous object in accordance with the provisions of the rules and regulations, as well as to the localization and elimination of the consequences of disasters.
  3. Measures aimed at reducing the likely negative consequences of an accident.

According to the above Federal Law, as well as a government decree, regulatory documents have been created that define the requirements in accordance with which a declaration of safety of a hazardous industrial facility is provided. These acts also establish the terms for its creation, the rules for registration, the list of information subject to mandatory inclusion. Regulatory acts define the rules by which the examination of the safety declaration of an industrial facility is carried out.

Basic provisions

The safety declaration of an industrial facility must include:



Usage

The declaration of industrial safety is drawn up as an annex to the design documents for the construction, reconstruction, expansion, technical re-equipment, liquidation or conservation of the enterprise. It is also required when applying for an operating license. Clarification of the declaration is carried out when changing the information contained in it, or security requirements. Revision of the document to take into account adjustments and additions to the regulatory framework and conditions for ensuring the protection of the enterprise is provided for at least once every five years.

Important point

The declaration of industrial safety can be formed independently by the enterprise itself. The document is approved by the head. The formation of the declaration can also be carried out by an organization that has a license to carry out an examination of the safety of industrial-type objects. The head of the enterprise is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information contained in the document.

Control authorities

After approval, the industrial safety declaration, together with the conclusion obtained as a result of the inspection, is sent to the relevant ministry, the GU GOChS, the Federal Service for Nuclear, Technical and Environmental Supervision and its regional division, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as the authority of the Ministry of Defense, on whose territory the enterprise is located. Control over the timeliness of sending documentation is assigned to the above supervisory authority.

Innovations

In accordance with the circumstances that develop during recent years, the declaration of industrial safety has undergone a number of changes. There was a need to reflect new information in the document. They, in particular, relate to the implementation of measures aimed at reducing the level of danger of emergency situations at facilities, preventing outside interference in their functioning. Based on the calculations, requirements were formulated for the volume of available reserves of material and financial resources at enterprises. In addition, requirements were defined for assessing the frequency/probability of occurrence of emergencies, their sources, the operation of which is associated with the release of hazardous substances that can create a damage zone outside the territory of the facility with damage to the health/life of the population, the environment. Also, specialists performed calculations to analyze the probability of poisoning the population with the establishment of the maximum possible number of victims.

Key questions

The declaration of industrial safety today should specifically and clearly define the requirements that characterize the readiness of an enterprise to prevent and eliminate emergency situations. There is a special section in the document for this. It should provide answers to questions that characterize:



Document verification

As mentioned above, the regulations provide for an examination of the generated declaration. In accordance with the current rules, the approval of the conclusion is prescribed. This procedure is carried out by the apparatus of Rostekhnadzor. At the same time, the conclusion of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is taken into account. It is necessary in cases where the ratio of the volume of a hazardous compound at the facility for which the declaration is being drawn up to the maximum permissible level of this substance is more than 10. company.

Meaning

Declaration of safety today acts as a mechanism for predicting the socio-economic consequences of emerging emergencies. This process is the most important lever of influence on the stable development of the economic system. Declaration of safety helps to ensure objectivity in the justification of budgetary volumes directed to finance measures to prevent and eliminate disasters. Another task of the procedure is the transition to a system of acceptable risk, the formation of an effective economic mechanism. It is the normative basis for the financial support of the developed measures for the management of natural and man-made threats.

Industrial safety review of the industrial safety declaration(EPB declaration, examination of DPB) - the process of assessing the compliance of an industrial safety declaration with the industrial safety requirements imposed on it.

Conducting an examination: from 10 days

22. Declaration of industrial safety

The industrial safety declaration is a document that reflects the nature and extent of the danger to industrial facility, as well as the developed measures to ensure safety and preparedness for action in man-made emergencies.

The basis for the development of the Declaration of Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities is Article 14 of the Federal Law "On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities" dated July 27, 1999 No. 116-FZ.

According to this article, the development of the Industrial Safety Declaration is strictly mandatory for all enterprises that store, receive, use, process, form, transport or destroy flammable gases, combustible liquids, toxic and highly toxic substances, oxidizing substances, explosives and other substances, posing a danger to environment and violating fire safety regulations.

Limit quantities of hazardous substances, the presence of which at a hazardous production facility is the basis for the mandatory development of an industrial safety declaration, are set out in Appendix 2 to the Federal Law "On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities".

The declaration of industrial safety is developed as part of the design documentation for the construction, expansion, reconstruction, technical re-equipment, conservation and liquidation of a hazardous production facility. The industrial safety declaration must be updated or developed anew in case of applying for a license to operate a hazardous production facility or changing the information contained in the safety declaration, or in case of changes in industrial safety requirements.

According to the procedure for issuing an industrial safety declaration for hazardous production facilities, when developing a declaration for an existing hazardous production facility, it is necessary to include information on both ongoing and planned measures in the safety act, which represents the composition of information to ensure industrial safety requirements. When developing a declaration, the project documentation provides information on the measures presented in the project documentation.

Compiled and approved by the head of the organization operating a hazardous production facility, the Declaration is submitted for industrial safety expertise (hereinafter referred to as expertise) to an expert organization.

Then Safety Declaration with the conclusion of the examination, it is sent for consideration to the department of the central office of the Service, which exercises control and supervision over compliance with industrial safety requirements at the declared hazardous production facility. The term for consideration of the declaration of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities should not exceed 2 months.

After that, it is necessary to send a copy of the safety declaration, the information sheet and the conclusion of the examination to the interested state authorities, local governments, public associations and citizens.

The declaration of industrial safety is approved by the Central Office of the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision.

In order to monitor compliance with safety measures, assess the sufficiency and effectiveness of measures to prevent and eliminate emergencies at industrial facilities, the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities" introduced mandatory declaration of the safety of industrial facilities of the Republic of Belarus, whose activities are related to chemical, nuclear, radiation, explosion and fire hazardous industries and technologies and pose an increased threat to the life and health of their personnel and population.

Declaration of industrial safety - is a document that reflects the nature and extent of the danger at the relevant facility, as well as the developed measures to ensure industrial safety and readiness to take action to prevent these situations and eliminate their consequences.

A safety declaration is an official statement of readiness to ensure the safe operation of a production facility of the Republic of Belarus.

The safety declaration characterizes the safety of a production facility at the stages of its design, commissioning, operation, reconstruction and decommissioning. The safety declaration is drawn up by enterprises, institutions and organizations regardless of their form of ownership.

1. Receive, use, process, store, transport, destroy flammable substances, oxidizing substances, combustible substances, explosives, toxic and highly toxic substances, substances hazardous to the environment,

2. Equipment is used that operates under a pressure of more than 0.07 MPa or at a water heating temperature of more than 115 ° C,

3. Permanently installed lifting mechanisms are used,

4. Melts of ferrous and non-ferrous metals are obtained,

5. Mining operations are underway, as well as work in underground conditions.

Classification as especially hazardous industries is based on the value of the threshold quantities of potentially hazardous substances circulating at the production facility or stored at the enterprise:

Name of hazardous substance Maximum amount of hazardous substance, t
Ammonia
ammonium nitrate
Ammonium nitrate in the form of fertilizer
Acrylonitrile
Chlorine
Ethylene oxide
Hydrogen cyanide
Hydrogen fluoride
hydrogen sulfide
Sulfur dioxide
Sulfur trioxide
Alkyles
Phosgene 0,75
Methyl isocyanate 0,15

According to the law, an industrial safety declaration is a document that reflects the nature and extent of hazards at an industrial facility and develops measures to ensure industrial safety and preparedness for action in man-made emergencies.

The development of an industrial safety declaration involves a comprehensive assessment of the risk of an accident and the threat associated with it:
