(Reporter Zhang Yingyan, Li Shaowei correspondent Lu Yuxiong) The fire accident of Chengdu No.9 bus has aroused widespread concern about bus safety.
In order to strengthen public transport safety management, Dongguan public transport industry held an emergency safety work meeting yesterday to summarize various safety problems existing in Dongguan public transport industry and deploy rectification actions.
Luo Guanyun, director of the Municipal Road Transportation Administration Bureau, announced yesterday that since January this year, there have been nine safety accidents in the bus industry in Dongguan, including three spontaneous combustion accidents and six road traffic accidents.
There are many hidden dangers in bus safety in Dongguan.
Yesterday, in order to learn a lesson from the catastrophic accident in which 27 people were killed and 76 injured when a bus burned in Chengdu on June 5, the Dongguan Municipal Transportation Bureau and the Municipal Road Transportation Administration convened the heads of transportation groups such as Dongguan Bus, Great Wall, Huali and minibus to hold an emergency safety work meeting in the bus industry.
The meeting thoroughly analyzed the current situation of bus safety in Dongguan, summarized the safety problems existing in the bus industry in Dongguan, and decided to carry out "big inspection, big education and big rectification" activities in the bus industry in the near future.
Han Renhai, director of Dongguan Transportation Bureau, said at the meeting that there are some problems in bus safety in Dongguan, which need to be solved urgently. Han Renhai introduced that bus accidents have increased this year, and bus spontaneous combustion occurred in John Wan and Wangniudun. Fortunately, no casualties were caused; In addition, the serious aging of some buses has also increased the unsafe factors. Han Renhai also mentioned in his speech that at present, the facilities in bus compartments are not perfect enough, for example, some vehicles are not equipped with safety hammers.
In view of the above situation, Director Han Renhai emphasized that "major inspection, major education and major rectification" activities will be carried out in the public transport industry in the near future, and all town buses, city buses, cross-town buses, city minibuses, parking lots and passenger stations in the city will be comprehensively investigated. The purpose is to "make the public feel at ease about the bus safety in Dongguan".
Nine safety accidents occurred in half a year.
According to reports, since the beginning of this year, there have been 9 safety accidents in the bus industry in Dongguan, including 3 spontaneous combustion accidents and 6 road traffic accidents. Four people were killed and nine injured in the accident.
The direct causes of several spontaneous combustion accidents are mainly problems in vehicle circuits, engine sets and other lines. However, judging from the safety inspection of relevant transportation enterprises, some enterprises still have loopholes and security risks in vehicle technical management. The reporter also learned at the meeting that the Transportation Bureau will establish a perfect vehicle technical inspection system in the future.
The transportation department stressed that after the meeting, all enterprises should immediately carry out a comprehensive safety hazard investigation according to their own reality. In the investigation, the maintenance of passenger vehicles will be strengthened, especially the devices such as circuits, oil circuits and engines, and the hidden dangers will be rectified immediately. Minimize the risk of vehicle spontaneous combustion.
It is forbidden to bring dangerous goods on board.
It is understood that the transportation department stipulates that all bus stops must strictly implement the "Safety Production Specification for Bus Terminals". Strictly follow the operating rules to use the baggage security machine and hand-held security instrument, and assign a special person to be responsible for the baggage security inspection. Passengers are strictly forbidden to take flammable, explosive and toxic substances by bus.
The transportation department said that the drivers and passengers of local buses (including city buses, town buses and cross-town buses) must strengthen the "three products" inspection of passengers’ luggage. If you find or suspect that you are carrying explosives, dangerous drugs, controlled knives, guns and other dangerous goods on the bus, the drivers and passengers should immediately stop them from getting on the bus and report to the public security organ.
After the vehicle stops to drop off passengers or after the operation, drivers and passengers should check the facilities in the vehicle to ensure that there are no suspicious items, luggage or other safety hazards.
Check the configuration of safety facilities.
It is reported that after this emergency meeting, all bus groups will notify their subsidiaries and motorcades to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the safety facilities and equipment of buses, ensure the conspicuous position on the buses, place enough fire extinguishers and safety hammers, and ensure their effectiveness and availability. Vehicles with unsealed windows must ensure that these windows are lubricated and easy to open.
The transportation bureau said that this safety inspection work will be fully completed on June 11.
The reporter visited some buses and found that:
Safety hammer is missing.
The reporter visited a number of buses in the city yesterday and found that there were obvious "alarm" signs in the carriages, but there was no trace of the safety hammer where it was originally placed.
The reporter found that the windows of Citybus are generally sealed, and only the last two windows can be opened freely, but the windows are not big, so it will be more difficult for people who are in danger to escape through the windows.
The location of the "fire extinguisher" in the car is also inconspicuous. The reporter randomly surveyed several citizens and they all said that they did not know where the fire extinguisher was in the car.
