Since the beginning of this year, the situation of mine safety production in China has been generally stable. The number of mine accidents has decreased by 13% year-on-year, and the total number of non-coal mine accidents has continued to decline. However, coal mine accidents have rebounded, and the largest open-pit coal mine accident occurred in Inner Mongolia since the founding of New China.
Liu Tao said that in the next step, the State Administration of Mine Safety will take quantitative assessment as the starting point, take the containment of serious accidents as the final inspection standard, and accelerate the construction of a closed, dynamic and hierarchical control system for the whole process of "source management, process control, emergency disposal, investigation and handling" of mine safety risks, effectively identify, control, evade and eliminate potential risks, and resolutely prevent and contain serious accidents.
Establish and improve the investigation mechanism for concealed accidents.
Recently, accidents were concealed in Jingcheng Iron Mine in Xinzhou, Shanxi Province and Honglin Coal Mine in Fuxin, Liaoning Province, which aroused public concern.
According to Ding Baichuan, deputy director of the Accident Investigation and Statistics Department of the State Administration of Mine Safety, after receiving the information of accident concealment, the emergency management department and the State Administration of Mine Safety sent supervision teams to Shanxi and Liaoning respectively to supervise and guide the investigation and handling of accident concealment. Shanxi Province has set up a provincial investigation team headed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Executive Vice Governor, with the Deputy Governor and the Director of the Provincial Public Security Department as the deputy heads, to investigate and deal with the series of concealed incidents of Jingcheng Mining. The Supervision Committee of the Shanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has set up a special work class to carry out work simultaneously. An accident investigation team headed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Executive Vice Governor was set up in Liaoning Province to organize accident investigation. The Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department set up a task force to investigate and deal with hidden accidents, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision set up a responsibility investigation team to work simultaneously.
Recently, Jingcheng mining accident concealed incident has been dealt with. Shanxi Provincial Joint Investigation Team reported that it was found that Jingcheng Mining reported 40 production safety accidents and 43 miners died in the past 20 years. At present, the public security organs have taken criminal compulsory measures against 28 suspects in accordance with the law, and the discipline inspection and supervision organs have filed investigations on 16 public officials suspected of serious violations of the law and taken lien measures.
"The State Administration of Mine Safety will continue to supervise Shanxi Province and Liaoning Province to complete iron cases, thoroughly investigate and report accidents, seriously pursue accountability according to laws and regulations, and announce the investigation and handling to the public." Ding Baichuan bluntly said that in response to the concealment of mine accidents, the State Administration of Mine Safety has carried out an in-depth campaign to conceal mine accidents, urging all localities to sort out the mine accident reports received by the system in their respective jurisdictions since 2000 and the accident reports assigned by the State Administration of Mine Safety, and re-check those that are unclear.
At the same time, the deep-seated reasons behind mine accidents are carefully studied, and suggestions for improvement are put forward from the aspects of standardized law enforcement, accurate accountability and scientific assessment. Establish and improve the working mechanism related to the investigation and handling of concealed accidents, and work together with relevant departments to accurately crack down on concealed accidents. Accelerate the investigation and handling of concealed accidents, deal with the units and personnel involved severely and quickly, announce the results of investigation and handling, and accept social supervision; Organize the production of typical accident warning education films and carry out warning education. Further unblock the channels for concealing and reporting mine accidents, increase the incentives for reporting, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of insiders such as miners and their families and families of victims.
Shoulder the national supervision responsibility of mine safety
The supervision system of mine safety in China is "national supervision, local supervision and enterprise responsibility".
Li Chunmin, deputy director of the non-coal mine safety supervision department of the State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, said that in the first half of this year, the provincial bureaus of the Bureau strictly performed their duties of supervision, effectively strengthened their supervision, and monitored the municipal and county governments and their relevant departments for more than 2,000 times, completed the annual supervision plan for local governments in the first half of this year, put forward more than 600 proposals for strengthening and improving the safety supervision of non-coal mines, and found more than 4,000 problems in mine safety production of local governments and their relevant departments.
On July 18th, the State Administration of Mine Safety formulated and issued the Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Supervision and Inspection of Mine Safety Supervision of Local Governments, which clarified 13 main contents of supervision and inspection of local governments and their relevant departments by mine safety supervision institutions, and required provincial bureaus to take local governments as the key contents of supervision and inspection, "severely crack down on illegal acts of late reporting, omission and false reporting of accidents, and strictly investigate the accident responsibilities of relevant personnel", and continue to push local governments and their relevant departments to implement mine safety supervision responsibilities and promote the transformation of mine safety governance model to prevention in advance.
The State Administration of Mine Safety will further strengthen the supervision and inspection of local governments’ mine safety supervision, constantly improve the quantitative evaluation system of supervision and supervision, promote local governments and their relevant departments to clarify their responsibilities, know their responsibilities and perform their duties, and resolutely shoulder the responsibility of national supervision of mine safety to ensure that the mine safety production situation continues to improve steadily.
It is effective to promote the investigation and rectification in various places
The reporter learned that since the beginning of this year, the State Administration of Mine Safety has deployed and carried out the 2023 action of special investigation and rectification of major accident hidden dangers and the comprehensive rectification of mine safety production in mines across the country, focusing on the goals of controlling major risks, eliminating major hidden dangers, controlling major disasters and preventing major accidents. Focus on nine special rectifications, such as major disaster management in mines, open-pit mines, open-pit mining, underground mining, illegal hot work and other dangerous operations, trackless transport vehicles in underground mines, safety management of outsourced and rented projects and tailings ponds, and comprehensively urge mining enterprises to carry out self-inspection and self-correction of hidden dangers, carry out law enforcement inspections and supervision and spot checks on key mines, and urge them through regular analysis and issuing letters of suggestions for rectification of major accident hidden dangers to the people’s governments of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities).
Li Dasheng, the mine safety supervisor of the State Mine Safety Supervision Bureau, further introduced that in terms of coal mines, all the 3,110 coal mines included in the rectification scope have completed the self-inspection and self-improvement of hidden dangers, found more than 213,000 hidden dangers, including 1,817 major accidents, and formulated 98,000 safety risk control measures; The superior company of coal mine inspected the full coverage of its coal mine and found 119,000 hidden problems. Through the self-examination and self-correction of the safety production responsibilities of all coal mine staff, 22,000 problems were found and 21,000 safety production responsibility lists of the responsible persons in charge were formulated; More than 1.353 million coal mine employees were trained in safety, 195 "five-post mine managers" were cleared, and 410 safety management and professional and technical personnel were retired; Organized 6074 emergency drills with more than 407,000 participants.
In addition, more than 15,000 non-coal mines in China have completed self-inspection and self-modification, achieving full coverage of all normal production and construction mines, and nearly 100,000 hidden dangers have been self-inspected and more than 2,000 major hidden dangers have been discovered. Local regulatory authorities have inspected nearly 30,000 non-coal mines, found more than 80,000 hidden dangers, including nearly 2,000 major hidden dangers, and ordered them to stop production and rectify more than 500 non-coal mines. The provincial bureaus of the State Administration of Mine Safety have monitored local governments and their relevant departments for nearly 2,500 times, found more than 3,800 problems, issued nearly 500 safety supervision proposals, and randomly selected nearly 2,500 non-coal mines, and found nearly 20,000 hidden dangers, including more than 1,700 major hidden dangers, which prompted local mine safety supervision departments to impose administrative penalties for 448 times and ordered them to stop production and construction and rectify 234 mines.
