A safety management system is a systematic and continuous management process based on proactive identification of hazards, and analyses of their risk. Implementing a safety management system is the most efficient way of allocating resources for safety, since it not only improves working conditions, but also positively influences employees' attitudes and behaviors with regards safety, consequently improving the safety climate. A petrochemical plant is a high-risk, high-energy plant with potential risks of fire, explosion and poisoning. To meet the market challenges, chemical plants need to provide safer plant operation. Safety design approach is used to ensure the safety during the design stage, which satisfies the safety during the plant operation. Through this study, in order to achieve the goal, the analysis contents in several sets of hydrogenation unit of HAZOP analysis reports of the petrochemical plant are summarized and accordingly, the intrinsic safety engineering design method for the petrochemical plant is put forward then. This new design method solves a few problems existing in the current HAZOP analysis when considering the design, construction, empirical knowledge, etc. In addition to the previous traditional method, a database is made and managed in-order to guide safety engineering design and realize the intrinsic safety for the plant. The intrinsic safety for the petrochemical plant uses technological measures to eliminate or control risks and to prevent accidents, in-order to avoid damage and losses. Hence the application of this method is easy to identify problems in design in-order to avoid omissions and errors and makes up for the lack of analysis and design experience to improve the design efficiency.
