The national safety production situation was generally stable from January to October

According to preliminary statistics, from January to October, the total number of production safety accidents, the number of major accidents, and the number of major accidents decreased by 15.7%, 12.3%, and 13.3%, respectively, and the safety production situation was generally stable. However, the major accidents in October increased year-on-year, and the safety production situation was not optimistic.

The Emergency Management Department pointed out that from November to December, at the peak of production at the end of the year, fireworks and firecrackers entered the peak season of production, which is prone to problems such as catch-up period, rushing progress, assault production, and overload operation. Demand for gas supply and use of electricity in urban and rural areas is strong, and the increase in mass travel and gatherings has led to a sharp increase in the flow of people and logistics. The extreme weather such as rain, snow and ice in winter has a greater impact on safety production, coupled with the downward pressure on the economy this year. Safety production faces greater challenges.

The Emergency Management Department requires that we should clearly understand the impact of current economic operations and external environmental changes on safety production, and always tighten our nerves, and firmly grasp outstanding problems and major safety risks. In order to deal with the situation of the large accidents in October and the problems exposed, in-depth analysis and study of deep-level problems and causes, combined with the characteristics of winter production, in-depth development of hazardous chemicals, coal mines, non-coal mines, fireworks, fire, industry and trade, etc. Investigate hidden dangers in key industries, strengthen unannounced visits, and implement rectifications on hidden problems, and resolutely prevent and contain serious accidents.
