The 4th China Pesticide Industry HSE High-Level Symposium was held in Nanjing.

　　On May 12, 2014, China Central Television’s Finance Channel reported that the market was rife with fraud involving China IV‑compliant heavy-duty trucks, as many dealers were selling vehicles meeting China III standards—and even those meeting China II standards—under the guise of China IV models.

 

　　On December 8, 2014, the Fourth China Pesticide Industry HSE High-Level Symposium was held in Nanjing, Jiangsu. Centered on process safety, the morning session featured an address by Wang Weiguo, Director of the Research Center of the State Administration of Work Safety, who provided an interpretation of the new Work Safety Law. Mr. Wang Kanyun of Dekada Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. presented on the mechanisms of dust explosions and fundamental safety principles in agrochemical processes, while Zhao Jian, Plant Manager of Dow AgroSciences Agricultural Technology (China) Co., Ltd.’s Nantong facility, shared insights into the risks and management of manganese zinc dust explosions. In the afternoon, a dedicated session on change management brought together experts from Syngenta, Nantong Jiangshan, and Lianhua Technology, who shared their experiences on common challenges, best‑practice guidelines, and pre‑startup reviews following the implementation of change‑management procedures. Participants also engaged in small‑group discussions to address key and difficult issues, exchanging views and lessons learned. The symposium was hosted by the China Crop Protection Industry Association, with support from Syngenta (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and co‑organized by Shanghai Xiangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.
