China News Service, November 8th. Song Yuanming, deputy director of the emergency management department, said on the 8th that the emergency management department promoted the strengthening of coal mine safety measures to increase production and supply. Under the premise of safety, we should promote coal mines that have the potential to increase production to release production as soon as possible. While ensuring supply, we must also increase the crackdown on illegal coal mines.

"This will not only escort the work of ensuring energy supply, but also maintain the bottom line of safe production."

  The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 8th to accelerate the promotion of emergency management system and capacity modernization.

At the meeting, a reporter asked a question that the current price of raw materials has risen sharply, the pressure on coal supply is relatively high, and some areas have switched off power cuts. What impact has this had on production safety?

How to prevent accidents caused by this?

  Song Yuanming pointed out that these conditions have indeed brought pressure and challenges to work safety.

Mainly reflected in several aspects:

  First, the substantial increase in the price of raw materials will inevitably lead to increased costs and operational difficulties for downstream companies. Companies may reduce their safety investment in the case of increased operating pressure.

  Second, in the context of a substantial increase in coal prices and increasing pressure to ensure supply, some coal mines may rush to produce large-scale and large-scale production in the short term, and may also reduce safety conditions and relax supervision.

The high price may also trigger a "last madness" in some coal mines that are about to be closed, and even some closed coal mines may also have a "resurgence" situation.

  The third is that electricity curtailment measures may impact the normal production and operation order of enterprises.

Petrochemicals, iron and steel, hazardous chemicals, and coal mines are all continuously operating enterprises, which will cause great harm once the power goes out.

At the same time, the safe and stable operation of the equipment of some enterprises will affect the safety and operation of the equipment. Once the power failure is over, the production will be compensated, and the loss will be compensated, which will cause new super-capacity production. These are all unfavorable factors for safe production. .

  Song Yuanming said that the current safety production work is facing the superposition of "three phases".

The first is the period of high accidents at the end of the year, the second is the peak period of energy supply, and the third is the period of frequent disasters.

Look at the recent heavy snowfall in Northeast and North China, and frequent extreme weather.

In response to these risks and challenges, the Emergency Management Department has been walking on thin ice, urging and guiding relevant regions, departments and units to take the following measures in accordance with the unified deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council.

  One is to continue to strengthen supervision and inspection.

On the basis of weekly meetings, research and judgment, and regular video scheduling, the relevant member units of the State Council Security Committee have recently organized 9 working groups to conduct open inspections and unannounced visits to 18 provinces, focusing on the key points of mining, chemical industry, metallurgy and non-ferrous metals. In the field of industry, further tighten and compact the main responsibility of enterprises for safe production, and build a strong line of defense for safe production.

At the same time, we also organized 5 gas safety inspection teams to conduct inspections in 5 key areas.

  The second is to promote the strengthening of coal mine safety measures to increase production and ensure supply.

The leadership team members of the National Mine Safety Supervision Bureau led a team to conduct safety production supervision and inspections in 10 areas with severe coal mine disasters. Under the premise of ensuring safety, promote coal mines with the potential to increase production to release production as soon as possible, and increase production while ensuring supply. Crackdown on illegal coal mines.

"This will not only escort the work of ensuring energy supply, but also maintain the bottom line of safe production."

  The third is to urge relevant departments and power companies to further improve the power curtailment plan, implement orderly curtailment, and encourage relevant departments and enterprises to formulate and implement power outage emergency plans, and strengthen drills to prevent production safety accidents caused by power outages.

  Fourth, the professional teams of emergency rescue for work safety in various regions strengthened preventive inspections and safety technical services.

There are 1,263 safety production emergency rescue teams nationwide, with about 69,000 people. These teams have preset forces to enter the enterprise to provide safety technical services in advance to protect the people's lives and property.
