The new production safety law comes into force today, with a maximum fine of 100 million yuan
On September 1, the newly revised production safety law will be officially implemented. Since its implementation in 2002, the law has been amended twice in 2009 and 2014, and the third amendment has been ushered in 2021.
      "This law has played an important role in preventing and reducing production safety accidents." Song Yuanming, Vice Minister of the emergency management department, mentioned at the press conference of the state information office earlier that since the promulgation of the work safety law, the death toll of production safety accidents and the number of major accidents in China have decreased significantly.
      The decision to amend a total of 42 articles, involving one third of the original articles. It is worth noting that the newly revised work safety law has made corresponding amendments to the key contents such as increasing the punishment of illegal acts of production subjects, strictly preventing the blind spot of production supervision, and urging the implementation of the main responsibility of enterprise work safety.
 

Strictly prevent regulatory blind spots and implement the "three musts"

      The revised production safety law defines the "three musts". That is, "industry management must be in charge of safety", "business management must be in charge of safety" and "production and operation must be in charge of safety". This time, the "three musts" principle was written into the law, which further clarified the safety production responsibilities in all aspects and established a set of relatively perfect responsibility system.
      This defines the safety supervision responsibilities of the Department“ "Managing the industry must manage the safety" specifies that each department responsible for safety supervision shall supervise and manage the work safety of relevant industries and fields within their respective scope of responsibility. It also defines the safety supervision responsibilities in emerging industries. The principle stipulates that the local people's governments at or above the county level shall determine the supervision and management departments in accordance with the principle of similar business, so as to prevent the blind area of safety supervision formed by mutual responsibility between departments.
     In addition, the law defines the safety management responsibilities of the decision-making level and management level of the enterprise, and requires that in the enterprise, except that the main person in charge is the first person in charge, other deputies should bear certain responsibilities and responsibilities for work safety according to their business. We must pay attention to safety and safety in production, otherwise the person in charge of production shall also be responsible for accidents.
       The newly revised work safety law also requires functional departments to cooperate with each other. The revised work safety law stipulates that departments responsible for safety supervision should cooperate with each other, pay close attention to joint management, information sharing and resource sharing, strengthen safety supervision according to law, and form a joint supervision force among departments.

We will increase penalties and impose a maximum fine of 100 million yuan

     The newly revised work safety law has increased the punishment for illegal acts.
First, the penalty amount is set higher. This amendment has generally increased the amount of fines for illegal acts. In terms of accident fines, it has increased from 200000 yuan to 20 million yuan stipulated in the current law to 300000 yuan to 100 million yuan; The amount of accident fines for the main responsible persons of the unit shall be increased from 30% to 80% of the annual income to 40% to 100%.
      In addition, the punishment is stricter. For example, if the production and business operation unit fails to take measures to eliminate the hidden dangers of accidents, the current provision of "order rectification first, refuse to rectify, and then order suspension of production and business for rectification and impose a fine" is revised to: once the illegal act is found, order rectification and impose a fine. If it refuses to rectify, order suspension of production and business for rectification, and may be punished continuously on a daily basis. If it refuses to suspend production and business for rectification, Request the local people's government to close down.
      Discipline has also become greater. The law has strengthened the joint punishment and publicity of illegal and dishonest acts, increased the joint punishment measures such as increasing the frequency of law enforcement, suspending project approval, raising relevant insurance rates and banning entry of industries or occupations, and effectively cracked down on and deterred illegal enterprises and protected the legitimate rights and interests of law-abiding enterprises through the "sword hanging high".

Implement the main responsibility of enterprise safety production,

and all employees participate in safety production

      One of the highlights of the revised work safety law is that it further compacts the main responsibility of production safety of production and business units and establishes several important legal systems.
      The first is to establish a safety responsibility system for all employees of production and business units. Every department, post and employee of the production and business operation unit directly and indirectly affect safety production in varying degrees. "Everyone in safety production is the protagonist, and there is no bystander". Surging news learned that this revision has added the provisions of the full staff safety responsibility system, which is to mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of all employees of the production and business operation unit, so that everyone can participate, so as to improve the level of safety production as a whole.
      In addition, the newly revised work safety law establishes a dual prevention mechanism of hierarchical control of safety risks and troubleshooting and treatment of hidden dangers. Production and business operation units are required to regularly organize risk identification and assessment, strictly implement hierarchical control measures, and prevent accidents caused by risk evolution. Hidden danger investigation and treatment is an important system established in the work safety law. This amendment adds the provision that the investigation and treatment of hidden dangers of major accidents should be reported to relevant departments in time. The purpose is to ensure that the production and business operation units are in place under the dual supervision of the regulatory authorities and their employees.
      The newly revised production safety law also stipulates the compulsory implementation of production safety liability insurance in high-risk industries. The former work safety law stipulates that the State encourages production and business operation entities to take out work safety liability insurance. This amendment also adds the provisions that production and business operation entities in high-risk industries must take out insurance.
      According to the opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on promoting the reform and development in the field of production safety, high-risk industries mainly include eight categories: mining, hazardous chemicals, fireworks and firecrackers, transportation, construction, civil explosives, metal smelting and fishery production. The scope of work safety liability insurance covers not only the employees of the enterprise, but also the casualties and property losses of third parties, as well as relevant rescue, accident identification, legal proceedings and other expenses. The most important thing is that work safety liability insurance has the function of accident prevention. Insurance institutions must provide accident prevention services for insured units, help enterprises find potential risks and improve safety management level.

The implementation of the new work safety law will increase the responsibilities of all parties at the level of work safety. Hanhai optoelectronics also adheres to its corporate mission and contributes to the intelligent management of safety production through laser absorption spectrum gas detection technology.
