The General Office of the State Council is urging an immediate check on safety in production across the country.

Several grave accidents in production had occurred since April, it said in a recent circular. The two air disasters on April 15 and May 7, in particular, caused a heavy loss of life and huge property damage with a baneful influence. The safety check aims to stem the rise in serious accidents.

The check will mainly focus on setting up and implementing safety regulations, effecting progress in investigating previous accidents, punishing those held responsible, the closure of unsafe small mines and factories, and safety precautions in private enterprises.

The major targets are coal mines, dangerous chemicals, explosives for civil use, fireworks, road transport, fire prevention in public places, civil aviation, railways, water transport, and oil, petrochemicals, power and weapons industries.

A safety inspection group of the State Council, comprising officials from the State Economic and Trade Commission and other relevant departments, will undertake the nationwide safety check.

"All localities, departments and work units should be fully aware of the importance of safety in production, and in the interests of maintaining the momentum of reform, development and social stability, should reinforce safety in production," the circular noted.
