The State Council demands further strengthening the investigation, rectification, and prevention and control of major risks and accident hazards in safety production | Focus | Risks
The State Council executive meeting held on the 29th called for further strengthening the investigation and rectification of major safety production risks and accident hazards.
The "6.21" particularly serious gas explosion accident in Yinchuan, Ningxia resulted in many casualties and significant social impact, and the lessons learned were extremely profound. The meeting called for a sense of responsibility to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, and to effectively prevent major and major production safety accidents, with a focus on practical and meticulous work implementation.
To maintain the bottom line of safety production, it is necessary to strengthen the people's defense line. The meeting proposed to focus on the main contradiction, not only to investigate the "hard wounds" of facilities and equipment environment, but also to supplement the "soft spots" of human factors, and vigorously promote public safety awareness and the improvement of safety responsibilities and safety skills of practitioners.
June of this year is the 22nd National Safety Production Month, with the theme of "Everyone talks about safety, everyone knows how to respond to emergencies". The relevant person in charge of the Emergency Management Department stated that during the event, various regions emphasized the importance of mass participation and the cultivation of a safety culture for the whole society. They vigorously promoted safety publicity in enterprises, rural areas, communities, schools, and households, and carried out extensive and in-depth emergency science popularization activities to continuously enhance public safety awareness.
The meeting pointed out the need to strengthen both the root cause and the root cause, targeting key industries such as gas, construction, and transportation. While addressing current prominent problems, safety risks should be reduced from the source to prevent hidden dangers from recurring and accidents from recurring.
"This requires that the focus of risk prevention and control be further lowered, the checkpoint be further moved forward, and the work of hidden danger investigation and treatment be further refined, practical, and precise." Zhang Xingkai, Honorary Dean of the China Academy of Work Safety Sciences, said that hidden danger investigation should be held accountable to individuals, and there should be a timetable for hidden danger rectification. Major hidden dangers with "real danger" must be rectified immediately to prevent small hazards from becoming bigger accidents.
The meeting also proposed to clarify, decompose, and implement the relevant responsibilities for safety production throughout the entire chain of "one matter". Each region and relevant department should take strict, practical, and detailed measures, strictly supervise and not go through the motions, eliminate the "loose and weak" law enforcement, effectively transmit responsibilities and pressure to the grassroots, and ensure that the investigation and rectification can discover, solve, and achieve practical results.
