Abstract: Guided by the green development concept, petrochemical engineering projects can only meet fundamental safety and environmental requirements and achieve smooth commissioning and sustainable operations by leveraging the consulting service functions of engineering enterprises and enforcing the primary responsibility of project owners. The internal audit department conducts safety and environmental risk audits on petrochemical engineering projects in accordance with the law, which can timely identify safety and environmental risk factors during the construction and operation stages of such projects and promote their sustainable development. Based on this, this paper focuses on analyzing and exploring the implementation goals, roles, methods of safety and environmental risk audits for petrochemical engineering projects.

Key words: green development, petrochemical engineering project, safety and environmental risk audit
