"Is it the responsibility of the safety management department to promptly address various potential accident hazards?
Thread Content
“A safety production management agency refers to a specialized institution established within a production or business entity to be responsible for the supervision and management of safety production, with all its staff being full-time safety production managers. The role of the safety production management agency is to enforce **laws and regulations related to safety production, organize various safety inspection activities within production and business units, carry out routine safety inspections, promptly address potential accident hazards, and supervise the implementation of the safety production responsibility system. It serves as an important organizational guarantee for ensuring safety production in such units. ” Everyone must be familiar with this passage, but I have never been able to find its source. I understand most of the content in it. But I’m not quite sure about the part that says “timely rectify various potential accident hazards.” In my opinion, the safety management agency responsible for ensuring safe production should \"urge the rectification of all potential accident hazards.\" Article 13 of the Jiangsu Province Safety Production Management Regulations states that the responsibilities of the safety management agencies and safety officers in production and business operations include \"conducting safety inspections, promptly identifying and addressing potential accident hazards and violations of regulations, and urging the relevant departments to carry out timely rectifications.\" ； ” However, the scope of influence of the above passage is truly vast; a simple search online for “responsibilities of safety production management agencies” will surely yield the same content. So I would like to ask the experts on this forum: where exactly does this phrase originate from? Who in which agency came up with the idea of having safety management agencies address potential safety hazards? Thank you so much; I’m really troubled right now!
I also found on the internet a website called the \"Dushanzi District Work Safety Supervision and Administration Bureau of Karamay City\"; the explanation it provides for work safety management agencies is the same as the one mentioned above. Does this count as an official explanation?
Law of the People’s Republic of China on Work Safety, Article 19: Mines, construction enterprises, and entities that produce, operate, or store hazardous materials shall establish work safety management institutions or appoint full-time work safety managers. For other production and business entities that are not covered by the provisions of the preceding paragraph, those with more than 300 employees shall establish a work safety management organization or appoint full-time work safety managers ； If the number of employees is 300 or less, the company must appoint full-time or part-time safety management personnel, or entrust engineering and technical personnel with the relevant professional qualifications as specified to provide safety management services. Article 20: The principal persons in charge and safety production management personnel of production and business operation entities must possess the safety production knowledge and management capabilities appropriate to the production and business operations carried out by such entities. The principal persons in charge and safety production management personnel of units that produce, operate, or store hazardous materials, as well as those in mining and construction enterprises, must pass assessments conducted by the relevant competent authorities regarding their knowledge of safety production and their management capabilities before they can assume their positions. Assessments must not be charged. Article 21: Production and business operation entities shall provide safety production education and training to their employees, ensuring that they possess the necessary knowledge of safety production, are familiar with relevant safety production rules and regulations as well as safety operating procedures, and have mastered the safety operating skills required for their respective positions. Employees who have not passed safety production education and training shall not be allowed to work. There is no requirement to \"rectify various potential accident hazards.\"
I found where this passage comes from! In the 2008 edition of the safety management textbook, \"Knowledge of Safety Production Management,\" the aforementioned content can be found in the chapter on \"Organizational safeguards for safety production management in production and business operations.\" It serves as an explanation of Article 19 of the Work Safety Law. In the 2011 edition of the textbook, this passage has been revised. It is no longer the responsibility of the safety production management agency to promptly address various potential accident hazards.
This sentence must be wrong! It is the responsibility of managers to address issues, not that of safety management agencies~ However, safety management agencies have the responsibility to supervise and urge such corrections~
Right, if it’s the security department that’s supposed to handle the corrections, then something is wrong. This is exactly how things are now: the engineering department and the equipment department keep causing trouble, always making me clean up after them. They assign workers to handle grounding and wiring tasks, but it’s completely wrong.
