China News Network, June 6 -- On the 8th, the State Council's new office held a press conference on "implementing the 8th major decisions and deployments of the Party and promoting the modernization of the emergency management system and capabilities", and Wang Xiangxi, minister of emergency management, said at the meeting that at present, more than 6900,3400 major hazardous source hazardous chemical enterprises, 2400,<> coal mines, and <>,<> third-class and above tailings reservoirs have been monitored online, and abnormal automatic alarms have been realized and timely response and disposal.
Wang Xiangxi pointed out that from 2018 to 2022, the total number of production safety accidents and deaths in the country decreased by 5.80% and 8.51% respectively compared with the previous five years, and the number of natural disaster deaths and disappearances decreased by 4.5% compared with the previous five years.
Wang Xiangxi said that the Ministry of Emergency Management regards the study, publicity and implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as its primary political task, thoroughly grasps the implementation work, strives to provide high-level safety services for high-quality development, and guarantees the new development pattern with a new security pattern. Specifically, we have mainly grasped the work in four aspects:
First, focus on improving the system. In accordance with the requirements of "establishing a framework for large-scale security and emergency response", give full play to the comprehensive advantages and professional advantages of relevant departments, strengthen the combination of unified and separate management, prevention and rescue coordination, and linkage between upper and lower levels, connect the responsibility chain of each link, and promote the formation of a coordinated and efficient emergency management work pattern. Since the beginning of this year, efforts have been focused on improving the responsibility system, optimizing the command mechanism, improving the rule of law system, and strengthening grassroots emergency management. For example, focusing on solving the problem of difficulty in implementing responsibilities, promote all localities to clarify the list of responsibilities of party and government leading cadres for safe production and disaster prevention and mitigation; Refine the implementation of the department's "three management and three musts" industry supervision responsibilities, and promptly clarify the responsibilities of the competent authorities for the risks that may be brought by new formats and new materials; Strengthen the implementation of enterprise entity responsibilities, and carry out safety management capacity assessments for the principal responsible persons and safety management personnel of central enterprises, local state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises in high-risk industries. For areas and enterprises with frequent accidents, comprehensive use of warning interviews, public reports, on-site supervision, media exposure and other means to promote the implementation of responsibilities.
Second, focus on prevention. In accordance with the requirements of "promoting the transformation of the public security governance model to pre-incident prevention", we will pay more attention to prevention in the focus of work, highlight the source prevention and control of security risks, normal control and control, monitoring and early warning, and engineering governance, and actively shape a security environment conducive to development. At present, more than 6900,3400 major hazardous chemical enterprises, 2400,<> coal mines, and <>,<> third-class and above tailings reservoirs have been monitored online, and automatic alarms have been given to abnormal accidents and timely response to disposal.
The third is to focus on special rectification. Since the beginning of this year, the number of production safety accidents and deaths has continued to decline, but serious and extraordinarily serious accidents have rebounded. The 2023 special investigation and rectification action of major accident hidden dangers has been deployed nationwide, and at the same time, the lessons of accidents have been deeply learned, and targeted rectification has been carried out on outstanding problems in mine safety, fire safety, and hazardous chemical safety. In order to improve the effect of rectification, closely focus on effectively improving the quality of investigation and rectification of hidden risks, effectively improving the strong willingness and ability level of discovering problems and solving problems, and paying close attention to outstanding problems such as electric welding, cutting, and open-pit mine slope over-design and construction operations, and chaotic on-site management, a number of law enforcement teams were dispatched to key areas to conduct unannounced investigations and visits, and publicly exposed them in mainstream media. Dispatched 20 comprehensive inspection teams to various places to supervise and inspect and promote the implementation of rectification actions.
Fourth, focus on improving capabilities. In accordance with the requirements of "improving the capacity of disaster prevention, mitigation and relief and the handling and guarantee of major public emergencies", we will continue to implement key projects for natural disaster prevention and control, and build an emergency rescue force system with Chinese characteristics with the national comprehensive fire rescue team as the main force, the professional rescue team as the coordination, the military emergency force as the surprise attack, and the social force as the auxiliary. At present, all six national regional rescue centers have started construction. In May this year, the "Emergency Mission 6" exercise was held in Yunnan, which comprehensively tested and exercised the earthquake rescue capability in alpine and valley areas.
