At the beginning of this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important instruction: all regions and relevant departments should learn from the lessons, overcome the paralytic mentality and fluke mentality, further compact the responsibility for safe production, carefully investigate hidden dangers, pay close attention to the implementation of work, resolutely curb the frequent and continuous occurrence of various safety accidents, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the overall social stability.

Recently, various departments around the country have implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, carefully investigated potential safety hazards, and implemented various safety production measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. At the same time, some hidden dangers and persistent diseases, especially those that seem to have been solved but have not been cured, still make people feel worried and feel "formalism". As one netizen left a message on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online, there is nothing wrong with security issues, and there is no room for omission. Security screening should not be carried out without any trace, and then "look back" after the tragedy.

Since January 1 this year, there have been nearly 5000 safety production messages on the "Leaders' Message Board". When people in many places raised questions, they sincerely hoped that the relevant departments would strictly implement them, thoroughly investigate the hidden dangers and catch them to the end. What are the common problems in people's daily life? How to comprehensively implement safety responsibilities to prevent accidents? How to provide a "bottom line" for residents' safety? Reporters from People's Daily Online carried out an investigation and interview.

Guarding the fire safety and preventing the fire from not burning is the key

According to the statistics of the National Fire Rescue Bureau, 21000 electric bicycle fires were reported nationwide in 2023, an increase of 17.4% compared with 2022. Among them, 80% of electric bicycle fires occur when charging. 90% of the casualties caused by electric bicycle fires occurred in the lobby, corridors and stairwells. In order to prevent problems before they occur, we must play a good "first hand" game, that is, we must strive to eliminate the potential safety hazards such as electric vehicle charging in the home and private flying line charging.

"There is no shed in Beijingwan Community, and residents' electric bicycles are charged upstairs by elevators. Recently, related accidents have occurred frequently, and leaders are expected to help solve this problem." Recently, people in Dongping County, Tai'an, Shandong Province left a message on the "Leaders' Message Board", hoping to curb the phenomenon of electric bicycles charging in households. Later, the Dongping County Real Estate Management Service Center of Tai'an City replied that 9 car sheds had been built on the basis of soliciting the owner's opinions. For the charging problem of electric bicycles upstairs, the property will increase the frequency of patrols, and timely come to the door to dissuade and stop illegal parking.

People in Huanggu District, Shenyang, Liaoning also reported through the "Leaders Message Board" that the owners of Poly Xihu Linyu Community had privately pulled wires to charge electric bicycles. The local reply said that the fire police had told the owner that it was prohibited to charge the electricity by wire flicking in violation of regulations, and also warned the property manager to strengthen inspection and patrol.

However, on March 20, when the reporter visited the people who left messages about the two cases mentioned above, he learned that the problems of Beijing Bay Community and Poly Lake Linyu Community had not been solved. "The garage is under construction. In fact, there are charging piles downstairs, but some residents still push carts upstairs. I think the root cause is that property management is not in place." "The fire police came once, and now some owners put away the lines during the day, and then secretly pull them out for charging at night, and even the wires suspended from the sixth floor. It's no use looking for anyone anyway. They say they're not in charge. They hide until something happens. When there's a fire, someone will be in charge. "

In addition to the potential safety hazards of electric bicycle charging, the fire fighting access is blocked, and the fire fighting supporting facilities are missing, aging and even "dormant".

At the beginning of January, people in Hualong District, Puyang, Henan Province left a message that "Lijing Shangpin Phase III elevator often fails to operate, the fire water pipe is frozen and damaged, and the indoor smoke detector does not work. The above problems have been fed back to the property management for many times without results, which seriously affects the normal life, and the relevant departments are requested to coordinate and solve them." To this end, Puyang Hualong District Market Supervision Bureau and Hualong District Housing Management Bureau replied that, The property management company has been urged to repair on site. On March 20, the message people told reporters that their appeal had not been fully implemented: "Other things have been solved, but the smoke detector is still not in normal working condition. This is related to the fire safety of high-rise buildings, please follow up and implement it."

Safety inspection should be a solid barrier to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, but in some places and fields, formalistic safety inspection has been repeatedly prohibited. It may be easy to deal with business affairs in a perfunctory manner for a while, but it is more likely to be hurt by the "boomerang" in the future.

"The seal on the fire hydrant cabinet in the corridor of Rongbaohua Shopping Mall was in September 2020, which has not been torn or replaced for several years, indicating that it has not been opened for inspection and verification, and the date of the notice of fire inspection pasted outside the fire hydrant cabinet is February 2024." On March 9, the crowd in Nanning, Guangxi, reflected on the "Leaders' Message Board" that the inspection of fire equipment was not in place. Later, the Management Committee of Nanning National Economic and Technological Development Zone explained that this was a "misunderstanding": the seal was made of self-adhesive adhesive and could be used repeatedly. When the property was regularly inspected, only one side needed to be gently torn open and then pasted after inspection. Therefore, the seal has been used since September 2020. For the reply of the handling unit, the message people did not buy it: "I think the reply is untrue. This seal is made of A4 paper and pasted with similar glue (certainly not self-adhesive). If it is opened, it can be seen."

Normal life of residents affected by elevator failure and unauthorized building

"When the elevator is running, it often makes abnormal noise accompanied by severe shaking, which is very frightening."

"After the elevator was installed in the old community, the elevator broke down 7 times in half a year, with 2 people trapped and 4 times trapped. The elevator could not be used 4 times (no trapped people), and the elevator failure led to the personnel being pushed out once."

……

Very few elevator accidents trap people, elevator falls out of control, elevator calls should not, and so on, often cause people to worry about the safety of nearby elevators.

On January 6, people in Qianshan District, Anshan, Liaoning Province, reported that "the elevator in Datang Jiayuan (South) Community has passed the maintenance period and has broken three times in ten days. Each time, the elevator broke down soon after it was repaired, and we hope that the relevant departments can carefully recheck it." Four days later, the secretary of the Qianshan District Party Committee of Anshan City replied that the property management had organized the first time to recheck and repair the elevator. In addition, the elevator had been applied for inspection on December 20, 2023, and the special inspection institute inspected the elevator on January 12, 2024, and it was found to be qualified. The masses praised the staff for their conscientious and meticulous work attitude.

People in Xinghualing District of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, also encountered frequent elevator failures. On January 27, people left messages reflecting that since the delivery of the house in May last year, the second phase elevator of Red Star Purple Royal Mid mountain has frequently experienced water leakage, lighting damage, shutdown and other failures. The property has been maintained for many times, but the elevator failure rate is getting higher and higher. In response, the office of Taiyuan Municipal People's Government said that the maintenance unit would check and maintain the elevator as soon as possible after it stopped, and start the operation after ensuring safety. However, "the staff did not contact me, nor did they go to the field survey to reply to the message. Less than a year after the delivery of the house, the elevator has problems every three days, and it is suspected that the quality is unqualified." The masses said in the reporter's return visit.

In addition to elevator failure, wall cracking and unauthorized building are also the "urgent problems" complained by the masses. "The foundation of Building 7 in the west area of Swan Bay is sinking, and the bearing wall and floor slab are seriously cracked, affecting the life safety of residents." In May 2023, people in Shanzhou District, Sanmenxia, Henan Province, complained to the "leaders message board" about the safety of the housing structure. At the beginning of August of that year, the Supervision Bureau of the CPC Shanzhou District Committee and the People's Government replied that the developers were raising funds and would start the reinforcement project as soon as they arrived. However, as of March 20, 2024, the public feedback that the crack has not been repaired, "asking means that the developer has no money to repair it, and now there are few people in the sales office. I am busy working and I have not continued to complain."

In June 2023, the masses in Jizhou District, Tianjin, reported the phenomenon of illegal construction in the community on the "Leaders' Message Board". "Many owners on the first floor of Hongkun Shanyu Community dug basements, built lighting wells, built courtyard walls, enclosed public green spaces and internal roads, and asked the relevant departments to deal with it in a timely manner!" In this regard, the local relevant departments said that the situation reported by the masses was true and were taking control measures. Eight months later, when the reporter returned in March this year, the masses said that the current situation was worse than when he left a message. "After the complaint, the owners stopped working, but later no one managed to continue to build. Now the basements of people have been built and moved in, and many owners have followed suit."

The key to implementing safety production responsibility lies in clarifying the responsible subject

"The investigation results of some major accidents show that when safety production involves multiple functional departments, there is often a situation of overlapping responsibilities of responsible units, which increases the complexity and difficulty of management." You Zhibin, associate professor of the Emergency Management Training Center of the National School of Administration, said.

Work safety cannot be separated from the implementation of responsibility, and the responsibility system is the key to work safety. For the frequent production safety accidents, some places have also issued regulations on the implementation of detailed safety responsibilities.

Sichuan has issued measures to implement the "four not let go" principle in the investigation of production safety accidents, that is, not let go of the investigation, not let go of the responsible personnel, not let go of the implementation of rectification measures, and not let go of the relevant personnel without education; Shandong, through carrying out the "seven concentrated actions", promotes the compaction of the ultimate fire prevention responsibility, and resolutely curbs the occurrence of mass casualties; Shanxi printed and issued the Implementation Plan of the Three Year Action to Tackle the Root Cause of Work Safety (2024-2026), emphasizing the establishment and improvement of the responsibility system for implementing the whole chain safety supervision in key industries, with "one thing" led by one department and coordinated by relevant departments.

You Zhibin believes that the construction of the responsibility system related to work safety has certain complexity and is closely related to the discipline construction and system construction. How to accurately classify and implement the subject responsibility related to safety production deserves in-depth study. Only through a clear division of responsibilities, can work safety be normalized by promoting the formation of a work pattern of work safety in which relevant departments perform their own duties, assume their own responsibilities, and work together.

Peace means danger, safety means danger. What suggestions do you have for work safety? Welcome to "Leader Message Board" to leave a message. Let's work together to build a dam for safe production and ensure high-quality development with high level of safety.
