Chapter 1115 Everyone is having a hard time
.Fan Wubing has long been very dissatisfied with frequent mining accidents. He just doesn't listen to certain aspects and is not willing to talk about this. Now that Tong Yushan opens fire, Fan Wubing naturally has to follow the trend, otherwise, he will be a little sorry for Tong Xiaoyun.
As a result, there are more and more comments on Tong Yushan's articles on the online media, and more and more problems are exposed. In the several mine accidents that have occurred, although the official investigation results have not been released yet, according to the reporter's interview, there are two direct reasons. First, the miners violated the operating procedures and ignited the detonator without authorization before the gas concentration was measured.
In the small local coal mines, almost everyone picks up shovels and works as miners. They engage in this high-risk occupation without any training, wears chemical fiber clothes, and even brings lighters and cigarettes underground.
Interestingly, some miners believe that the leaders had no responsibility during the explosion. The reason was that two days ago, the mine held a safety meeting on the Internet. The safety mine manager specifically said that they should pay more attention to safety operations in the past few days. The son of the safety mine manager who had just taken office for three days was killed in this accident.
Is it possible to solve the problem when having a meeting? There is almost no need to discuss, and poor ventilation is another important reason for the explosion.
It is said that the safety facilities of the Butterfly Mine here are pretty good, but according to the safety production regulations of the Butterfly Mine, production can only be carried out in the main well, and the auxiliary well can only be used for people to escape, pump water and blowing. In addition, a slanted shaft is needed for escape. The outer wall of each mine needs a high-power blower and a exhaust fan to ensure air convection inside and outside the well, reducing the gas concentration not only, but also fans are needed for the main tunnel and all working faces.
The fact is that the main and secondary wells of a butterfly mine in the mine production accident were in production. No blowers and exhaust fans were installed in both wells. There was a hole for installing fans on the outer wall of the auxiliary well, and a exhaust fan had been transported to the mine long ago. But it was not until the accident that it was installed to save people.
It turned out that a high-power fan installed in the main tunnel had been broken for more than a month. The miner replaced it with a small fan. According to the miners, there was almost no wind when walking in the main pit. Only half of the small blowers on each working face were used that day.
What's even worse is that the electricity on that day was not normal.
According to regulations, the miners should be allowed to go to the kiln immediately after the power outage, but the mine manager on duty refused their request to go to the kiln. Instead, he used the motor to power himself, and that little electricity was only enough to maintain the small fan and the slipper.
The coal mine also answered whether the major inspection could solve the problem.
The miner told reporters that two days before the accident, an inspection team had been to the mine, and someone else got out of the well with a white towel. After leaving, they went to have a meal.
The local official statement is that the director of the Media Management Bureau brought a five-person safety inspection team to the mine for safety inspections. There are serious safety hazards in the coal mine. He believed that the Butterfly Mine did not have basic safety conditions, so he issued a notice of suspension and rectification for the mine.
However, the miners did not hear the news of the suspension of production, and the reporter did not see the notice. The facts were enough to explain the problem. The mine continued to produce, and then exploded and died.
When a governor who was handling the coal mine explosion accident held an emergency meeting, he angrily scolded, "The mine owner and other responsible persons fled throughout their lives regardless of the life and death of the trapped miners. The public security organs have not yet caught the person responsible for the fugitive, which means there is a lot of connections here. There is **."
In fact, what the governor said is right. Almost every major accident has some leading cadres who have seriously neglected their duties and dereliction of duty. This is the direct cause of major accidents again and again, and it is also a potential factor that may cause accidents in the future.
There are many coal mines after accidents. The local statement is that this is a new mine, which is being built and produced at the same time, so the safety facilities have not been improved. Not to mention whether this statement is valid, according to the requirements of the State Council, these mines themselves are among the suspension of production, but the fact is that they have not even made a symbolic attitude. Even when the inspection team arrived several times, they were dug up.
The reason why coal mines that were notified of production suspension were able to ignore the suspension notices from the state to the county coal management bureau and commit crimes against the wind, according to local people, is that the main leaders of the county have shares in it.
Local people Nengsa told you with their fingers how many houses a certain leader has in the city, which butterfly mines were run by a certain leader, and which factories gave the leaders secret shares. Of course, these are rumors that there is no real evidence, but if you run a factory and start a mine in a place like this, it will be difficult to survive without any connection or a backer. This backer relies on the link of economic interests.
However, relying solely on a hat, it is probably difficult to explain why the orders of the superiors are endless, and why there is such a serious deviation between subjective efforts and objective effects.
Obviously, the country's determination to shut down small coal mines this time is also ordinary. The State Council promulgated and implemented the "Regulations on Administrative Accountability for Major Safety Accidents". This provision clearly states that in the event of major safety accidents, not only should the direct responsible person be held accountable in accordance with the law, but also should be held accountable for administrative responsibilities of leading cadres. If the circumstances are serious and constitute a crime, criminal liability must also be held accountable in accordance with the law.
After the implementation of this regulation, the provincial party secretary of a certain province was reported to be given administrative sanctions for the major butterfly mine accident. In fact, even officials who love money or bureaucracy would not be indifferent to such severe punishment.
After Tong Yushan launched rectification of the publicity department's work, various departments followed suit and jumped out to analyze the causes of the mine accidents in many aspects and explored the causes in-depth.
A news spokesperson of the State Coal Mine Safety Supervision Bureau accused that some local governments were not positive about closing small coal mines due to local protectionism and did not implement measures. Especially due to the pressure of production, the media carbon market has improved. In some areas, coal supply has become tight and coal prices have recovered. After the recovery of coal prices, some small coal mines have been driven by interests to produce secretly without authorization.
This situation obviously exists. For example, in Shanxi, 80% of the county's fiscal revenue mainly relies on coal mining and coking. In some counties, districts and townships in Luliang, Datong and other places, the income of media carbon accounts for more than 70% of the local government's fiscal revenue. A hundred years ago, Shanxi was the richest in the country. Today, a hundred years later, it has become the province with the lowest per capita income in the country. It is hard to imagine that it will be poorer than Qinghai and Tibet. The Luliang Mountains are one of the 18 concentrated and contiguous key poverty-stricken areas in the country. It has jurisdiction over three cities and ten counties. All ten counties are national or provincial poverty-stricken counties.
For a poor county with a fiscal revenue of only about 60 million, closing small coal mines means it has almost nothing. After some coal mines were asked to stop production, the county was responsible for coal mine production and asked when it would resume production. If the fiscal revenue was not produced, the county could not bear it, and the monthly salary could not be guaranteed.
The foreign miners have a hard time. Although the families who brought their ashes home repeatedly advised the surviving miners and fellow villagers to go home quickly after the mine accident, the miners still stayed in the mine. Because the government freezes all the money from the mine owners, their wages are not given, they have no money to go home, and they don’t even have food. In order to save energy, they all have two bowls of noodles a day, and spend most of their time lying on the barbed bed, wearing thick clothes and wrapping them in quilts.
These people who work underground all year round always have a bite of us suffering, but they do not think that arching their bodies to dig coal in a tunnel one meter high below the ground is the most painful thing. They said that it is ten times better here than in their hometown. They can earn about 1,000 yuan a month in the small media kiln. The two of them work together to dig more than one meter a day, about 13 trucks per meter, and each truck can have 500 kilograms of coal, and each meter is dug. The boss pays fifty yuan.
The reporter asked the miners who had experienced three gas explosions. Will they go down to the well to dig media again in the future. The miner smiled and said, "I'm still digging, what can we sufferers do if we don't dig media?" There is no food."
It is said that some mine owners have been preparing to file a lawsuit with the court to demand compensation for the economic losses caused by the suspension of production.
A small coal mine with a total of 60,000 tonnes will be invested in several million. Even if the production is stopped, the air, electricity, and drainage cannot be stopped. Otherwise, even if it is scrapped, the maintenance fee will be at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month.
Some people also said that so many small coal mines were launched as the result of national policy support. Before the 1980s, coal was in short supply. In order to alleviate energy bottlenecks, the country adopted a policy of rapid water flow. The country, collectives and individuals went to butterfly mines together, and the output increased significantly year by year.
For example, Shanxi at that time started with Datong. The Coal Department also organized visits and studies to see how the village became rich, and to set up a pot to wash the medium.
At that time, the country was short of media and wanted coal. Over the past 20 years, the country's growth rate of more than a dozen points per year, and the support of the coal industry has made great contributions.
However, after entering the mid-1990s, the coal market was already oversupply, coal prices fell, and state-owned coal mines were generally in the dilemma of losses and bankruptcy. The employees' business was serious, and more problems were put on the table.
First, townships and individual small coal mines should minimize or even cancel safety equipment and work procedures. Although four certificates are required to start a coal mine, the mine owners will reduce or even cancel safety costs through bribes and make huge profits. It will cost about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to apply for a mining license.
Compared with the cost of about 120 yuan ton of state-owned mines, the cost of about 30 yuan in a small coal mine has a decisive advantage, and of course it also means that the possibility of devastating safety accidents is greatly increased.
As many state-owned coal mines go bankrupt, the original coal fields are leased, contracted, subcontracted to individuals, and mining licenses are also absent. Some coal mines actually sell dog meat without a license for a long time.
For small coal mines that have swarmed up, there are also loves and hates between state-owned mines. On the one hand, in order to resettle their children, they are also opening various mines and small wells, and some large mines even buy coal from small mines to resell them. But on the other hand, after the small coal mine is opened, large coal mines cannot be opened.
In the summer of 1996, Xishan Mining Bureau was born in a famous tank flood.
Heavy rains fell on the same day, and a small coal mine that had been left in the mining and was filled with wastewater and rainwater. According to regulations, the Xishan Mine was closed between its own tunnel and the small coal mine.
It would be fine if the closure was not done, but the huge water pressure accumulated in the small coal mine suddenly opened the closure. Xishan miners operating underground suffered a catastrophe. Thirty-three people were drowned and suffocated to death. Xishan Mining Bureau directly suffered an economic loss of 340 million.
In addition to water permeability and gas accidents that occur at any time, the more serious thing is that the operation method of small media mines leads to chaos in the entire industry. This is not only a price problem, but it is actually stimulating everyone to take predatory mining. Regular technological progress has become a waste of mechanization. Unlike the large state-owned mines that require at least 85% of the recovery rate, the extensive mining method of small media kilns can only mine 10% of the coal, and a large amount of resources are wasted.
In Shanxi, due to excessive firecrackers, coal mining, and coking, the green mountains, green waters and blue sky of the past have disappeared. A few dozen miles away from many mines, you can see the thick smoke from the coking plant covering the clouds and blocking the sun. Drivers complain that every cloudy day, the visibility on the road is only ten meters.
The unscrupulous mining caused the water level to drop. Many reservoirs have dried up. The famous Nanlao Spring in Jin Temple is now flowing with tap water. The Fen River also broke down a few years ago, with split barren mountains everywhere. The flowing water that could be seen everywhere ten years ago is now gone.
In 1998, the state held a meeting to close illegal and unreasonable coal mines, and began the operation to shut down small coal mines that have continued to this day. In order to appease the local government, the state delegated key large mining bureaus such as Datong, Yangquan, and Xishan to Shanxi Province. However, most local counties and townships did not increase their income from it, and the opposition between local governments and the central government in terms of power and interests is almost inevitable.
Therefore, some people expressed dissatisfaction, "It is right to shut down small coal mines. Those who should be closed must be closed immediately. Those who pass the qualifying should be opened immediately. Even if those small coal mines with complete four certificates need to be closed, since there are mistakes in the national policy, the state should compensate. This has been the policy for twenty years. Those Xiaodie Kilns with complete four certificates have been approved by the provincial government. Now they stop at the same time with one size fits all. What should others do if they invest millions? Since you were wrong before, you need to pay the price for the wrong policies. After all, this is not the era when administrative orders determine everything."
Some mine owners said more directly, "I can't care about my life or death, how can I care about other people's life or death?"
But at least so far, the government has no claim to give compensation or compensation.
This has formed a terrible evolution. More than 20 years ago, administrative means were used to ensure the authority of coal mine safety leaders, and then the deliberate demands and large-scale production requirements made safety rules and regulations retreat to the most secondary position. Now, even if the safety management agency formulates a complete system, it is no longer respected and abideed by the management objects, including the makers, because the essence of this safety management is actually a regulation of rule of man.
"When laws and regulations are no longer respected by others, then ** cannot be avoided." Fan Wubing was very moved by this.
