Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 30 (Reporters Zhou Yuan and Wei Hongyi) The Office of the State Council’s Safety Committee and the Ministry of Emergency Management arranged and deployed the "May Day" holiday safety prevention work on the 30th, requiring them to be alert from the lessons of recent accidents, further implement safety responsibilities, improve emergency plans, check for risks and hidden dangers, and resolutely prevent and curb major accidents and mass deaths and injuries.
The head of the Ministry of Emergency Management said that recent accidents have occurred in some key industries and fields, which have exposed some problems such as not learning profound lessons, not thorough investigation of major accident hazards, or even going through the motions, prominent problems of missing control in some areas, and ineffective "fighting against illegal and illegal violations". During this year's May Day holiday, the people's willingness to travel is stronger, and transportation, catering, entertainment, hotels and accommodation have ushered in a peak in passenger flow. At the same time, extreme weather such as strong convection in spring and summer is prone to frequent occurrence, and various safety risks have increased significantly.
The person in charge pointed out that we must resolutely curb the frequent occurrence of fires, conduct in-depth investigations on hidden dangers, conduct comprehensive investigations on various "nine small places" and effectively eliminate hidden dangers in the bud. Strengthen fire safety inspections in places with dense crowds of people, take stronger and more hard measures to smooth the life channels, thoroughly investigate risks and hidden dangers such as bridges, tunnels, slopes and roads, severely crack down on illegal acts such as "three supers and one fatigue", trucks illegally carry people, and thoroughly investigate safety hazards such as cable cars, cableways, and large amusement facilities.
In addition, we must make every effort to prevent and control forest and grassland fires, and encrypt fire prevention inspections and patrols. Coordinate the promotion of flood prevention and drought relief work, focus on preventing mountain torrents and geological disasters caused by local heavy rainfall. In areas with drought conditions, water source management should be done well and drought and flood will be strictly prevented from sharp turnover. National comprehensive fire rescue teams and professional rescue teams should improve their service levels and set up front guards in key areas.
