A number of serious workplace accidents in recent months, especially the Tianjin blast, has led to a building concern over the safety of production in China. These unfortunate incidents have also added pressure to the Chinese authorities to update Production Safety Law. The Law was enacted in November 2002, revised on 31st August, 2014, and came into effect on 1st December, 2014. It is the central national level legislation outlining general aspects of safety production and regulates companies’ obligations. The Law places more emphasis on workplace safety by increasing the penalties that can be handed down to negligent employers and empowering enforcement authorities. In addition, for certain industries (e.g., the chemical industry), companies must obtain special licenses permitting them to operate; meeting production safety requirements is one of the conditions authorities require to be demonstrated before granting such licenses.
The European Chamber of Commerce is delighted to host Mr. Ding Li, Deputy Chief of Policy and Regulation Division of Shanghai Administration of Work Safety to deliver a presentation on the Production Safety Law. Mr. Ding will go through the whole legislation background and its requirements to the enterprises and governments. In addition, Mr. Ding will present the audience hazardous chemicals management measures adopted by central and Shanghai authorities, as well as Shanghai’s planning for the next stage.
Please kindly note that this off-the-record session will be in Mandarin.
To ensure the best feedback, you are strongly encouraged to submit questions in advance to Ms. Helei Fu hlfu@europeanchamber.com.cn, by Friday 16 October COB.
