en.Wedoany.com Reported - The National Mine Safety Administration of China issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Work of Combating 'Three Violations' in Mining Enterprises" in 2026. The notice points out that since the beginning of this year, "three violations" behaviors (illegal command, illegal operation, and violation of labor discipline) in mining enterprises have significantly increased, leading to frequent and multiple production safety accidents. To effectively reduce the total number of mine production safety accidents, the administration has made arrangements regarding improving the institutional system for combating "three violations," strictly controlling illegal command and illegal operations, and strictly preventing violations of labor discipline.

In terms of improving the institutional system, the notice requires mine safety regulatory and supervisory departments at all levels to urge mining enterprises to clarify the grading standards for "three violations," classifying them into three levels—general, serious, and particularly serious—based on risk level and severity of consequences. At the same time, a rigid assessment mechanism should be established, with investigation and handling situations and assessment results regularly publicized in prominent locations such as pre-shift meeting venues and personnel mine entrances. Mining enterprises must establish a closed-loop management process for "three violations" behaviors covering "prevention—discovery—investigation—analysis—counseling—return visit." Personnel with serious "three violations" may only return to their posts after undergoing suspension for study, family counseling, and making a return-to-work commitment. The primary person responsible for production safety should regularly conduct cause analysis of "three violations" and implement a "blacklist" system for key individuals who "repeatedly violate rules and suffer multiple work injuries."

Regarding illegal command behaviors, the notice strictly prohibits mining enterprises from assigning production and operation targets that exceed capacity, intensity, or staffing limits. It strictly prohibits forcing risky operations, compressing reasonable construction periods, and arranging for uncertified personnel to work. Employees have the right to refuse to execute illegal instructions from management and report them by skipping levels, with employees whose reports are verified receiving rewards according to regulations. When mine leaders go underground for shift supervision, they must make inspecting whether management personnel at all levels have engaged in illegal command a key focus. In terms of controlling illegal operations, the notice specifies implementing the practice of position checklist "clear cards," promoting the "point and call" safety confirmation operation method for high-risk operations, comprehensively advancing the principle of "no video, no operation," and promoting the application of AI intelligent anti-"three violations" technology. Regarding violations of labor discipline, all personnel in underground mines must undergo body searches before entering the shaft, the number of personnel entering the shaft per shift must not exceed the staffing limit, dispatched workers shall not be used in underground mines, and it is strictly prohibited to illegally contract out mining and excavation work faces.
