2026-03-12
On January 4, the State Administration of Work Safety issued the “Regulations on Work Safety for Metallurgical and Nonferrous Metal Enterprises” to standardize the supervision and management of work safety in these industries and to ensure that enterprises assume their primary responsibility for workplace safety.
The Regulations standardize corporate conduct, requiring enterprises to fully implement safety production safeguards, establish a safety production responsibility system, put in place a dual-prevention mechanism for risk control and hazard identification and remediation, and improve the structure of safety production management bodies and staffing levels. At the same time, they set forth specific technical safety requirements for processing operations involving high‑temperature molten metals, such as smelting, leaching, and extraction.
Departments responsible for safety production supervision shall, in accordance with the law, strengthen oversight and inspection of enterprises’ safety production efforts, clearly designate the competent authority for each enterprise’s safety production management, promptly address any identified potential hazards, and place major hazard risks under supervised rectification. The progress of enterprises in implementing standardized safety production practices, establishing risk‑based control systems, and putting in place a dual‑prevention mechanism for hazard identification and remediation shall be incorporated into the annual safety production inspection plan, with inspections conducted as scheduled to ensure compliance. Furthermore, training on specialized safety‑production knowledge shall be intensified for inspection personnel to enhance their administrative enforcement capabilities; and when entering specific work sites for inspection, personnel must be equipped with the necessary personal protective equipment and monitoring‑and‑inspection instruments.
The Regulations shall enter into force on March 1, 2018, and the “Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Work Safety in Metallurgical Enterprises,” promulgated by the State Administration of Work Safety on September 8, 2009, shall be repealed simultaneously.
