  Recently, there have been a number of major coal mine production safety accidents across the country. In particular, three major accidents occurred consecutively within five days of late October, all of which occurred in state-owned coal mines, causing heavy losses.

  The Office of the State Council Safety Committee recently issued an emergency notice requesting that coal mine safety production be further strengthened, and coal mines where production safety accidents occurred should be interviewed, notified and exposed, and joint disciplinary measures should be implemented.

  Absence of risk investigation

  Frequent production safety accidents

  It is understood that on October 26, a roof leakage accident occurred at a fully mechanized mining face of the Shiping No. 1 Mine of Luzhou Guxu Coal and Electricity Company, Sichuan South Coal Industry, during a fault. 6 people died and 1 person was rescued.

  On October 25, before the installation of equipment at the 0113 working face of Shanxi Xiang Mine's Xiguxian Coal Industry Co., Ltd., a flooding accident occurred during the drainage of the old kiln above the working face, causing 4 people to be trapped and the mine flooded.

  On October 22, a gas suffocation accident occurred in Shaanxi Binchangda Fosi Mining Co., Ltd., which caused the death of 1 deputy squadron and 3 rescue team members of the mine rescue team and 1 rescue team injured.

  On September 28, a gas explosion occurred in the third mine of Xinjiang Sail Energy Co., Ltd. of Xuzhou Mining Group (hereinafter referred to as Saier No. 3 Mine), causing 4 deaths and 1 injury.

  The Office of the State Council Safety Committee pointed out that the above-mentioned four major coal mine accidents revealed that some major coal mines have been exposed to major risks and hidden dangers, and problems such as insufficient implementation of safety responsibilities are still outstanding.

For example, Saier No. 3 Mine did not set up a special "one ventilation and three prevention" safety management organization, and the personnel were insufficiently equipped; when the gas exceeded the limit, it did not take measures to remove personnel from power outages, and arranged personnel to risk operations in areas where the gas exceeded the limit.

  Some coal mining enterprises and their superior companies emphasize profit indicators and neglect safe production.

Xu Mining Group and its Xinjiang company ignored the system defects and safety debts of the mines affiliated to Saier Energy Company, and blindly issued profit targets; the company has many management levels, and the higher-level companies pay more attention to production and operation, and neglect the supervision and management of safety production. Management efforts are declining.

  Falsify, deliberately conceal major hidden dangers, and evade safety supervision.

Saier No. 3 Mine uses two sets of true and false fire zone location diagrams, gas inspection manuals and ledgers, airtight management ledgers, and airtight inspection records, and deliberately changes the hanging position of the methane sensor, destroys the sensor power supply, and prevents the monitoring system data from uploading. Deliberately cover up major hidden dangers and safety risks such as gas overruns and goaf fires.

  Some coal mine enterprises neglect the prevention and control of water damage after the flood season.

In addition, some coal mines have lax thoughts after the flood season. Under the circumstances of heavy mining tasks, the "three specializations, two explorations and one withdrawal" measures are often not effectively implemented, and the risk of mine water penetration increases.

  The mine rescue team seriously violated the "Mine Ambulance Regulations."

Shaanxi Shaanxi Coal Binchang Mining Co., Ltd. rescue center management is chaotic, the leadership violates the rules and regulations, and violates the regulations that the number of rescue team members entering the disaster area is not less than 6 people. Only 3 rescue team members are arranged to enter the exploration area; the 12 rescue team members dispatched only carry 10 A positive pressure respirator and insufficient oxygen pressure.

  In particular, the four accidents all occurred in state-owned coal mines, reflecting that some state-owned coal mines have outstanding problems in technical management, professional personnel, and safety assurance.

Some coal mines even took risks and went unrestrained in pursuit of output and footage, knowing that gas, rock bursts and other disasters were not in place, and eventually led to accidents.

 Continue to increase law enforcement

  Severely crack down on violations

  In this regard, the Office of the State Council Security Committee requires that all localities should severely crack down on illegal activities such as super-capacity, super-strength, and over-capacity in accordance with the characteristics of coal mine safety production in the fourth quarter, and deal with departments and group companies that illegally issue profit and output targets to coal mines. We must continue to increase law enforcement efforts. Mines that do not meet the conditions for safe production shall be resolutely suspended and punished if they are to be suspended. Those suspected of crimes shall be resolutely transferred to the judicial organs for handling. Interviews, notifications, exposure, and joint disciplinary measures should be implemented.

  First, strengthen the implementation of major disaster prevention measures such as coal mine water, fire, gas, and rock burst.

  Coal mining enterprises must conscientiously implement various gas control measures, strictly implement the target management system for gas "zero overrun" and coal seam "zero outburst", pay close attention to gas level identification, regional outburst prevention measures, and safety monitoring system upgrades and reforms, and strengthen Gas mines, small coal mines, integrated and exited coal mine ventilation and gas management, strictly prevent gas accidents.

  Second, state-owned coal mines must set an example in implementing their main responsibilities.

  Deeply reflect on the problems and deficiencies in the work, and comprehensively investigate the hidden dangers of various systems and links; rationally arrange the mining deployment to prevent the tension of mining replacement; strengthen safety education to prevent illegal command and illegal operations; establish a law-abiding awareness and consciously accept territorial safety supervision .

  Third, the coal mine safety supervision and supervision departments at all levels should carry out targeted investigations and unannounced visits in accordance with the actual conditions of their jurisdictions, and strictly accountability and accountability for the inadequate implementation of the responsibility system and the ineffective rectification of major hidden dangers in accordance with laws and regulations.

  Make full use of the results of high-risk coal mine safety "physical examination", special law enforcement inspections, comprehensive supervision, etc., combined with the problems found, to check the implementation of the main responsibility, and the rectification of the problems is not serious and incomplete, especially for the existence of "five fakes and five super Coal mining enterprises that violate laws and regulations, such as "three concealment, three nos" and other violations, shall be severely punished in accordance with laws and regulations on the enterprise and the person in charge of the enterprise. Wait for the department to report.

  In addition, the Office of the State Council Safety Committee has also made it clear that it is necessary to supervise and urge all mine rescue teams to analyze and reflect on the problems exposed in the accident, combined with the implementation of the "Production Safety Accident Emergency Regulations".

Strengthen the daily management, safety training and business training of mine rescue teams, strengthen the maintenance of rescue equipment, improve rescue capabilities, and resolutely curb the occurrence of accidents caused by illegal command and illegal operations.

  Resident coal mine safety supervision agencies in Sichuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, etc. shall lead the formation of accident investigation teams in accordance with laws and regulations to thoroughly investigate the cause, process and exposed problems of the accident as soon as possible, clarify the responsibilities of each link and each post, and seriously pursue the responsibility .
