major liability accident case
Heilongjiang Longmei group Jixi Mining Company Xinghua Coal Mine is a state-owned key coal mine. On November 20, 2015, a major fire accident occurred at 836.8m down the head of the belt conveyor of the large inclined belt road in the first level east mining area of Xinghua Coal Mine, causing 22 deaths, The direct economic loss was 15.985 million yuan. After the event, Xinghua Coal Mine signed an agreement with 22 victims’ families, and each victim’s family was compensated 6038700 yuan
after investigation, the “11.20” accident is a liability accident. The direct cause of the accident was that the floating coal at the roadway bottom was not cleaned up in time at 836 meters down the head of the large inclined belt conveyor in Dongyi mining area, resulting in the formation of floating coal accumulation layer; The floating coal accumulation layer blocks the bottom roller of the belt conveyor, and the belt rubs against the floating coal accumulation layer and the bottom roller for a long time to generate heat, which makes the floating coal accumulation layer near the bottom roller accumulate a lot of heat energy and form high temperature; After the belt conveyor stops, the belt and the bottom floating coal accumulation layer are still in contact, the coal body continues to be high temperature and reaches the ignition point, which ignites the belt and causes a fire

Zhao, the safety manager of the mine (who died in the accident), organized a major gas explosion accident in the reinforcement process, resulting in 19 deaths and direct economic loss of 28.619 million yuan according to the accident investigation, sun and Zhou did not seriously perform their duties of safety supervision during their stay in the mine, did not seriously check the spraying of chemical inhibitor at No.01 coal mining face in the New District of the mine, and did not find that the mine violated the coal mining operation regulations approved by Xiangyang District Coal Management Bureau, and the concentration of chemical inhibitor sprayed on the floating coal in the goaf did not reach the standard, 1t can not achieve the effect of inhibiting the spontaneous combustion of floating coal oxidation. During the inspection of Xiangyang District Coal Mine, Zhao found that the spraying of chemical inhibitor in 01 working face of the mine did not reach the full coverage, and required the coal mine to rectify immediately, but did not arrange personnel to check the actual effect of the rectification seriously, and did not check the spraying concentration of chemical inhibitor seriously, leaving hidden danger for the accident the defendants Zhao Mou Zhou, Zhou Mou Bao and Sun Mou Yi did not perform their duties of safety supervision correctly, which led to the long-term illegal production behaviors such as insufficient spraying concentration of chemical inhibitor in Xiangyang District Coal Mine, causing accidents. The behaviors constituted the crime of dereliction of duty and were sentenced to three to four years’ imprisonment respectively< The responsibilities of the three persons are as follows: Zhao zuozhou is the director of coal production safety administration bureau of Xiangyang District of Hegang City, responsible for the supervision of coal mine safety production within his jurisdiction SUN Yiren is a special supervisor of Xiangyang District Coal Mine in Hegang City from September 2015 to the time of the accident, Zhou zuobao was appointed as the special supervisor of Xiangyang District coal mine. He was responsible for putting forward specific rectification opinions on the hidden problems of mining, excavation, machinery, transportation and transportation systems, and timely reporting the hidden problems that could not be handled to Xiangyang District Coal Management Bureau in China, the importance of coal mine safety production is gradually increasing. Although the action of cracking down on coal related crimes has a long history, the crackdown in Heilongjiang Province is unprecedented in 2016, the State Administration of work safety stressed the work of coal mine safety. Those suspected of committing crimes in illegal production and construction should be transferred to the judicial organs according to law, instead of “punishment instead of punishment”, which added a layer of guarantee for the future coal mine safety work it is believed that with the firm determination of the government to strengthen the special rectification work in the field of production safety, the life safety of coal mine practitioners will be more and more guaranteed. This is extremely important for individuals, families and society 1 sincerely hope that every day in the future, the reason why coal mines attract the attention of social groups is not because of the tragic safety accidents or collective regret for those irretrievable precious lives. 1t’s just because of one excellent report card after another of developing science and technology and increasing production and efficiency postscript: production is important, safety is more important
