The invention relates to a method for producing an ethylene polymer, comprising performing polymerization of ethylene in co-presence of hydrogen using a trialkylaluminum compound-carried chromium catalyst, wherein the chromium catalyst is obtained by calcination-activating a chromium compound that is carried on an inorganic oxide carrier in a non-reducing atmosphere to convert chromium atoms in the chromium compound into hexavalent chromium atoms for at least a portion thereof, and treating with a trialkylaluminum compound in an inert hydrocarbon solvent to carry thereon and removing to dry the solvent so that the chromium atoms are not over-reduced by the trialkylaluminum compound, and to an ethylene polymer suitable for blow molded articles obtained by the production method. The ethylene polymer of the invention have improved environment stress crack resistance (ESCR) and impact resistance in a good balance and are suitable for molded blow articles, in particular large size blow molded articles.
