Question: The “Four Nos” principle for handling accidents requires that safety-related industrial accidents be investigated and dealt with seriously, so as to learn from them and prevent similar accidents from occurring again. **The “four no-passes” principle for handling accidents involves the following specific requirements: (1) Do not move on until the cause of the accident is identified; (2) Do not move on until those responsible are dealt with; (3) Do not move on until both the responsible parties and the general public have received education; (4) Do not move on until corrective measures are implemented. Summary: Source: Notice issued by the State Council on April 7, 1975, regarding the minutes of the National Work Safety Conference. The “three no-passes” principle states that one should not move on until the cause of the accident has been clearly analyzed, until those responsible and the public have received education, and until preventive measures have been put in place. On February 17, 2004, the General Office of the State Council issued a document titled \"Urgent Notice on Strengthening Safety Work.\" It outlined the \"Four Non-Compromises\" principle: in cases of serious accidents resulting from failure to fulfill responsibilities, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the principle of not moving forward until the causes of the accident have been identified, those responsible have been dealt with, corrective measures have been implemented, and relevant personnel have received proper education. In accordance with the \"Provisions of the State Council on Holding Administrative Accountability for Serious Safety Accidents\" (State Council Order No. 302), strict accountability must be enforced against the relevant leaders and responsible persons. Meaning – The first level of the “Four Non-Compromises” principle is that when investigating and dealing with accidents resulting in injuries or deaths, it is necessary to first analyze the causes of the accident thoroughly, identifying the real reasons behind it. One should not settle for a superficial approach, nor draw conclusions before the main causes have been identified; nor should secondary causes be mistaken for the real causes. The matter must not be dropped until the true causes of the accident are found, and the causal relationships between various factors are understood – only then can the purpose of analyzing the accident’s causes be achieved. The second level of the “Four Nos” principle represents another manifestation of the system for holding those responsible for safety accidents accountable; those responsible for such accidents must be dealt with strictly in accordance with the regulations regarding accountability for safety accidents as well as relevant laws and statutes. The third level of the “Four Non-Compromises” principle means that when investigating and handling work-related accidents, it is not sufficient to assume that the causes have been identified and that those responsible have been dealt with as a way to complete the task. It is also necessary to ensure that both the persons responsible for the accident and the general public understand the reasons behind the accident and the harm it caused, so that they can fully realize the importance of ensuring safe working conditions. This will enable everyone to learn from such accidents and pay more attention to safety in their future work. The fourth level of the “Four Musts Not Be Ignored” principle implies that it is necessary to address the causes of accidents. While conducting thorough and serious investigations into work-related accidents, practical preventive measures must also be established to prevent the occurrence of similar accidents, and the entities responsible for those accidents must be urged to implement these measures. Only in this way can the ultimate goal of accident investigation and handling be achieved. In cases where responsibilities related to safety work are not fulfilled and serious accidents occur, strict accountability must be enforced in accordance with the \"four no-let-go principles\" – namely, no let-go until the causes of the accident are identified, no let-go until those responsible are dealt with, no let-go until relevant personnel receive proper education, and no let-go until corrective measures are implemented – as well as the \"Regulations of the State Council on Holding Administrative Accountability for Serious Safety Accidents\" (State Council Order No. 302). Relevant leaders and responsible persons must be held strictly accountable.
