Is gas station a high-risk industry?

gas stations are high-risk industries.

Because gas stations are inflammable and explosive places, they belong to high-risk industries. In addition to the warning signs of "no fireworks" at gas stations, you often see related slogans of "no cell phones". Because gasoline is a volatile substance, in the flammable gas danger zone formed by the leakage of oil and gas tanks and natural gas pipelines, the radio frequency sparks generated by mobile phones can easily cause explosions and lead to disasters. The mobile phone itself does not have explosion-proof function. When a gas station injects gasoline into the fuel tank of a car or motorcycle through an oil gun, the oil vapor in the original empty fuel tank drifts outward, and the newly injected gasoline also volatilizes into the air, so that the oil vapor density around the refueling vehicle suddenly increases.

The high-risk industries and fields specified by the state include but are not limited to the following aspects:

1. Mining and construction industries, such as mining, blasting and tunnel construction;

2. Production, storage, use and transportation of hazardous chemicals;

3. Large energy industries such as metallurgy, electric power, natural gas and petroleum;

4. Water-related industries such as fisheries, ships and marine engineering;

5, high altitude, underground, underground, tunnel and other special environment operations;

6. Transportation industries, such as railways, highways, aviation, water transportation, etc.

7. Construction industry, such as high-rise buildings, large bridges, tunnels and subways;

8, medical and health industries, such as surgery, anesthesia, radiotherapy, etc.

9, fire, forest fire prevention, emergency rescue and other professional fields.

to sum up, gas stations are all engaged in flammable and explosive petroleum products, which belong to high-risk industries. Any potential safety hazard of gas stations may lead to major safety accidents such as fire.

Legal basis:

Article 24 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Work Safety

Units engaged in mining, metal smelting, construction and transportation, as well as units engaged in the production, management, storage and loading and unloading of dangerous goods, shall set up safety production management institutions or be equipped with full-time safety production management personnel. Other production and business units other than those mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall have more than 1 employees, and shall set up safety production management institutions or be equipped with full-time safety production management personnel; Where the number of employees is less than 1, full-time or part-time safety production management personnel shall be provided.

article 51 production and business operation entities must participate in industrial injury insurance according to law and pay insurance premiums for employees. The state encourages production and business units to take out liability insurance for production safety; Production and business units that belong to high-risk industries and fields specified by the state shall be insured with production safety liability insurance. The specific scope and implementation measures shall be formulated by the emergency management department of the State Council in conjunction with the finance department of the State Council, the insurance supervision and administration institution of the State Council and the relevant industry authorities.
