The draft rules will define what constitutes a major accident hazard, name which agency sets standards, set out how firms must inspect and remediate risks, and allow regulators to back-investigate and hold companies liable for failures to inspect or remedy. Authorities will require firms to rigidly implement safety investment, training, basic management and emergency‑response capabilities (the “four in place”), with the stated aim of advancing major-hazard remediation and strengthening China’s safety-production governance capacity.
