We will strengthen work safety in non-coal mines

22. Strict preconditions for safe production access. Provincial safety supervision departments should pay close attention to the development of local safety standards that are compatible with national safety production standards according to local realities. To meet the requirements of safety standards as a prerequisite for the access of non-coal mine enterprises, the implementation of strict safety standards approval system; It is necessary to formulate the minimum mining scale and minimum service life policies for metal and non-metal minerals in the region together with relevant departments, and resolutely refuse to approve those that fail to meet the requirements. At the same time, it is necessary to jointly review the mineral resources development and utilization plans of non-coal mine enterprises with the land and resources department, and demonstrate safety conditions to ensure safe production access from the source. Any construction that does not meet production safety standards and violates regulations shall be ordered to stop the construction, and if the circumstances are serious, the local government shall be requested to shut down the construction according to law. Where there are hidden dangers in lowering standards, the relevant personnel and responsible persons shall be held accountable.

23. Raise the safety access threshold for non-coal mines. The relevant departments shall not approve any of the following new non-coal mine construction projects: (1) those that are lower than the minimum production scale prescribed by the state or the local region; (2) The mining life of metal and non-metal mines is less than 3 years; (3) The minimum safe distance between the mining areas of adjacent open-pit mines is less than 300 meters; (4) not equipped with professional and technical personnel according to regulations; (5) not equipped with mining equipment in accordance with regulations; (6) Tailings ponds above Grade 3 do not adopt the whole process online safety monitoring and monitoring system; (7) The stability of the dam body of the tailings pool is affected by mining operations around the operational tailings pool; (8) Other safety production conditions required by laws and regulations.

24. Strengthen local supervision of production safety in non-coal mining enterprises. In accordance with the relevant provisions, the safety supervision department at or above the county level shall implement strict supervision and inspection of production safety and management of non-coal mine enterprises within the jurisdiction (among them, the safety supervision of non-coal mine enterprises belonging to the central enterprises shall be responsible for the safety supervision department at or above the municipal level). No mining enterprise shall, for any reason, hinder the safety supervision authorities from conducting on-site inspections.

25. Strengthen supervision over the use of special funds. Safety supervision departments at all levels should urge and guide relevant non-coal mine enterprises to effectively use the special funds for tailings pond management supported by central finance, and implement local and enterprise matching funds. At the same time, it is necessary to obtain the support of the government at the same level, explore the establishment of a special fund for safety production in non-coal mines, and give financial support to improve safety supervision equipment, close small mines, implement tailings treatment technology and advanced technologies such as goaf and ground pressure monitoring, large goaf and subsidence area management, and safety standardization construction.

26. Strengthen supervision over the extraction and use of safety production expenses in non-coal mines. Safety supervision departments at all levels should, in light of actual conditions, formulate measures for the extraction and use of production safety expenses in non-coal mines, strengthen supervision and inspection of the extraction and use of production safety expenses in non-coal mines, study and raise the lower limit standards for the extraction of production safety expenses in non-coal mines, improve the management system of production safety expenses in enterprises, and ensure that enterprises can extract production safety expenses in full before taxes. Improve work safety in non-coal mines.

27. Strengthen policy guidance for work safety in non-coal mines. Safety supervision departments at all levels shall, together with relevant departments, study and formulate policies to promote the research of non-coal mine safety production technology and the development and research of equipment. Encourage and guide non-coal mine enterprises to cooperate with colleges and universities and scientific research institutes to actively seek support from the national key science and technology research plan, the National Natural Science Foundation, the National high-tech Industrialization Project, and the National Innovation Fund for the research and development of safety production technology and equipment in non-coal mine mountains; Encourage and guide non-coal mining enterprises to independently develop or cooperate with scientific research institutions to develop advanced and applicable safety production technologies and mining products; Organize the implementation of safety production science and technology demonstration projects such as monitoring and monitoring of goaf areas in non-coal mines, monitoring and monitoring of high and steep slopes in open-pit mines, online monitoring of tailings ponds, and prevention of hydrogen sulfide poisoning, and promote non-coal mine enterprises to speed up the level of safety technology and equipment.
