Which department does gas belong to?

The gas is managed by the gas management department.

Specifically, in China, gas management involves many levels and departments, but it is mainly the local gas management department or the housing and urban-rural construction department. These departments are responsible for formulating and implementing policies, regulations and standards related to gas management to ensure the safe supply and use of gas.

I. Responsibilities of the gas management department

The gas management department is mainly responsible for the planning, construction, operation and supervision of the gas market. Its duties include, but are not limited to, making gas development plans, promoting the construction of gas facilities, supervising the business activities of gas enterprises, and ensuring the safety and stability of gas supply. In addition, the gas management department is also responsible for the investigation and handling of gas accidents and the punishment of violations.

Second, the laws and regulations of gas management

In order to standardize gas management, China has formulated a series of relevant laws and regulations. These laws and regulations provide a legal basis for gas management and ensure the orderly progress of gas management.

At the national level, the Regulations on Town Gas Management is the basic regulation of gas management in China. The Regulations comprehensively stipulate the planning, construction, operation, use and safety of gas, and clarify the responsibilities and powers of governments at all levels and gas management departments.

In addition, according to the actual situation, all localities have formulated corresponding local regulations or rules on gas management to further refine and improve the content and requirements of gas management.

Three. The role and responsibility of gas enterprises

Gas enterprises play an important role in gas management. They not only need to abide by relevant laws, regulations and standards to ensure the safe supply and use of gas, but also need to cooperate with the gas management department and accept its supervision and guidance.

Gas enterprises should establish and improve safety management systems and emergency plans, strengthen employee training and education, and improve employees' safety awareness and operational skills. At the same time, gas companies should also actively carry out safety inspections and hidden dangers, and find and deal with safety hazards in time.

To sum up:

Gas is mainly managed by local gas management departments or housing and urban-rural construction departments. These departments ensure the safe supply and use of gas by formulating and implementing relevant policies, regulations and standards. Gas enterprises play an important role in gas management, and they need to abide by laws and regulations, cooperate with the work of management departments, and bear corresponding safety responsibilities.
