On the morning of August 17th, Ningbo held a plenary session on work safety so that the special campaign to address safety hazards will be staged with full force. We must follow through on the instructions and spirits delivered by general secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang as well as on the legacy of provincial meetings on work safety. We must adopt tough measures to ensure work safety so as to uphold the life and property of our people, said Lu Ziyue, Mayor of Ningbo.
Municipal and local departments should bear in mind the lesson we learned for blood following blasts ripped through Tianjin. Relevant regulators must remain committed to work safety and be mindful of potential dangers. They need to take targeted measures to problems and work systemically to advance risk control. In doing so, we will be able to make people work safely and our efforts to combat illegal practices and potential hazards will be stepped up, said Lu. He added that we must give priority to addressing dangers in petrochemical sectors and stay committed to eliminating safety hazards from dangerous chemicals and flammable and combustible articles. Efforts must be ramped up to improve pre-warning system that better prepares us for emergencies. With public safety in mind, we work to deepen investigations and diffuse risks by employing risk-assessment results and strengthening capacity building in key sectors. Accountability must be put in place. We must ensure that those responsible will be held accountable no matter what. We will take holistic and long-term approaches and act responsibly to ward off possible accidents.
On Monday afternoon, Lu arrived at Ningbo port as he sought to examine how hazardous chemicals were managed and listened to how preventive measures were implemented. Alongside that, he also visited fire fighting teams in the area to check fire equipment and their understanding of emergencies responses. He emphasized that efforts must be beefed up to increase connectivity on the information of dangerous items and units like port and fire departments must have a clear picture of each batch of articles at store. As such, they will be able to manage properly with updates about information concerning dangerous chemical and therefore they will be well-positioned to respond any emergency with no risks at all.
The campaign has been given high priority engaged by municipal leadership, including Shou Yongnian, Ma Weiguang, Wang Renzhou, Zhang Minghua, Chen Zhongchao, Lin Jingguo, Wang Jianhou, Li Guanding and Wang Jianshe, general secretary of Ningbo Municipal Government, as well as deputy mayors. The meeting also had professionals from China Work Safety Institute, who offered insights into risk analysis and suggestions on work safety.
