In order to improve the work safety management level of China's chemical (hazardous chemicals) industry, firstly, the formation of chemical process safety management was expounded, including the traditional management method and the proposal of process safety concept. Then, the characteristics and specific content of the elements of the chemical process management elements system in China were analyzed, including 8 modules and 20 elements. Finally, a systematic solution was proposed, that was, four-element solution with safety leadership, management barrier (responsibility, equipment, management and capability), and safety culture as the primary-level elements. The results show that core elements of four-element solution are the concept, safety leadership, management barrier (responsibility, equipment, management, capability) and safety culture. Among them, safety leadership is the most critical element, leading the concept into practice, responsibility division, equipment upgrading, management system construction, capability improvement and culture cultivation. Other elements together constitute the skeleton of work safety management, and realize systematization. Businesses can help prevent accidents and improve the overall safety level of the industry by taking the lead and promoting the implementation of various elements through participation of all staff.
