Accident reporting phenomenon need to cure

The accident was reported. We have seen too much. Can this problem be solved? Let's look at this event first. At about 14:40 on December 25th, 2012, when the staff of the sixth division of the Sixth Division Project of the South-West Railway Tunnel of the China Railway Tunnel Group Co., Ltd. performed a blasting operation, an accident occurred during the illegal operation, and the distance was about 5,000 meters from the entrance. Exploded in the tunnel. Preliminary investigations revealed that 8 people were killed and 5 were injured by the explosion and the harmful gases it produced. What the general public can hardly believe is that this vicious accident was unexpectedly reported. If not later reported by netizens, the ghosts of the eight workers killed in the accident may never get peace.

It is somewhat relieved that Shanxi Province paid great attention to the accident and immediately started the relevant procedures and investigated relevant responsible persons. Li Xiaopeng, acting governor of the province, said that accident reporting is a serious violation of laws and regulations. All parts of the province must take one thing from the other, earnestly learn from experience and lessons, resolutely prevent similar accidents from happening again, and implement “zero tolerance” in the reporting of accidents.

If an accident is wrong, then it is undoubtedly wrong to misstate the incident. Although it is self-evident that the serious consequences and dangers of accidents are reported, the incidents that were scrutinized and then rigorously investigated in reality are not exhaustive. As far as the mining industry is concerned, there have been many people who have been seriously dealt with because of accidents reported in recent years. The latest news from the website of the State Administration of Work Safety shows that since July of last year, coal mines across the country have made numerous late reports and reported accidents. It is reported that only in July last year, there were four cases of late reports and reports of accidents. The State Administration of Work Safety pointed out that the failure to report accidents reflects that some miners and related personnel ignore national laws and regulations, ignore the safety of miners' lives, and have poor quality and extremely bad influence. It is necessary to crack down on accidental late reporting, concealment, and false reporting.

There is also a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. That is, the “poisonous tumor” that was once the label of a privately-owned mining company is spreading to the state-owned mining enterprises. In recent years, under the circumstances that national and local governments at all levels have continuously strengthened safety supervision and penalties, some state-owned mining enterprises are even more “advantageous” and have proposed the “zero death” goal of “starting from scratch and fighting zero”. . Under the dual pressure of the government and the higher authorities, some mine accidents, especially after the “zero-knocking” accident, often resort to tactics that are not reported, and privately resolved. The reporter believes that this incident of misreporting occurred in the China Railway Tunnel Group was only the tip of the iceberg of the state-owned enterprise accident report.

Knowing that "the paper cannot hold fire," and knowing the serious consequences of the accident, why do some state-owned enterprises "test themselves" and report the accident? The key is to do good. Many companies now implement a one-vote security veto system. If there is a problem with security, even if other work is done even better, it will be a "loss and damage", and the economic interests of the company's main leaders will be greatly damaged. In order to protect the individual’s economic interests from being harmed or to be protected from damage, the leaders of some companies generally do not report “zero-punch” accidents, but instead adopt internal “high price digestion” methods. Even if the higher authorities knew it, they also closed their eyes with one eye and held an irresponsible attitude of “who's children who took them away”, and acquiesced in the company’s own “dealing”.

In order to prevent the occurrence of unreported incidents, it is necessary to address both the symptoms and the root causes. The following points must be met: First, it is necessary to implement “zero tolerance” for the reporting of accidents, and continuously increase the punishment, not only to make a report to the death of one person. The penalties for suspending the removal of ten thousand yuan and the length of the mine, and the investigation of the higher authorities shall be conducted so that the costs and risks of reporting the accident are far higher than the costs and risks reported truthfully. The second is to establish rules and regulations, especially to establish The reporting and rewarding mechanism plays a good role in the supervision of the media and the Internet, encourages the public to participate in safety supervision, and eliminates the occurrence of accidents at the source. The third is to crack down on the collusion between officials and mines, and completely eliminate mining companies from reporting accidents. Backstage and "lesions" to avoid the tragedy that "the shadow of the official mines can be seen behind every accident".
